Database: The Journal of Biological Databases and Curation provides an open access platform for the presentation of novel ideas in database research surrounding biological information, and aims to help strengthen the bridge between database developers, curators, and users. In addition, the journal will provide a platform for the description of novel advances in the field of biocuration and promote the use of information from biological databases to assist in the planning and design of original research projects. Biocuration involves the translation of information relevant to biology and medicine, into an organized format, typically as a database, which enables the integration of scientific literature as well as large datasets such that information is accurately represented and readily accessible, as a source of information for scientists, and as a basis for computational analysis.The journal will publish:Detailed descriptions of databases, and database tools, in the broad arena of biology - authors are strongly encouraged to include a biological discovery or a 'testable' hypothesis in their papers.Shorter papers describing significant updates to established databases.Objective reviews of complementary and ancillary databases and database tools.User tutorials for database tools.Methodology and technical notes on database development.Improvements to automated prediction and annotation for biomedical datasets.Detailed descriptions of the state and updating of the annotation of genomes.Descriptions of the development and content of ontologies of relevance to the biomedical community and the tools specific to the use of these ontologies.Articles relevant to the annotation process such as standards for curation, annotation best practices, annotation methodologies, the use of automated and semi-automated methods for annotation and the measures for annotation consistency.Perspective manuscripts describing novel approaches, technologies, standards, or methods for database and/or annotation explorations including comparisons of state-of-the-art approaches. Perspectives can also include opinion pieces addressing challenges or debates in the field of biological databases and biocuration.Brief invited conference reports on topics related to the scope of the journal.Descriptions of databases and biocuration application and activities in all areas of biology are welcome, including biological chemistry, genomics, proteomics, glycomics, molecular biology, biomedicine, physiology, ecology, botany, zoology, and taxonomy.

數(shù)據(jù)庫:《生物數(shù)據(jù)庫與管理》雜志為圍繞生物信息的數(shù)據(jù)庫研究提供了一個開放的平臺，旨在幫助加強數(shù)據(jù)庫開發(fā)人員、管理員和用戶之間的橋梁。此外，該期刊將為描述生物保護領(lǐng)域的新進展提供一個平臺，并促進利用生物數(shù)據(jù)庫的信息，協(xié)助規(guī)劃和設(shè)計原始研究項目。Biocuration涉及到翻譯與生物學(xué)和醫(yī)學(xué)有關(guān)的信息,組織成一個格式,通常作為數(shù)據(jù)庫,使科學(xué)文獻的集成等大型數(shù)據(jù)集信息準(zhǔn)確地代表和容易訪問,作為科學(xué)家的信息來源,作為計算分析的基礎(chǔ)。該雜志將發(fā)表:詳細(xì)描述數(shù)據(jù)庫和數(shù)據(jù)庫工具，在廣泛的生物學(xué)領(lǐng)域-強烈鼓勵作者在他們的論文中包括一個生物學(xué)發(fā)現(xiàn)或一個“可測試的”假設(shè)。描述對已建立的數(shù)據(jù)庫進行重大更新的較短的論文。目的綜述互補和輔助數(shù)據(jù)庫及數(shù)據(jù)庫工具。數(shù)據(jù)庫工具的用戶教程。數(shù)據(jù)庫開發(fā)方法和技術(shù)說明。改進生物醫(yī)學(xué)數(shù)據(jù)集的自動預(yù)測和注釋。詳細(xì)描述基因組的狀態(tài)和更新注釋。描述與生物醫(yī)學(xué)社區(qū)相關(guān)的本體的開發(fā)和內(nèi)容，以及特定于使用這些本體的工具。與注釋過程相關(guān)的文章，如管理標(biāo)準(zhǔn)、注釋最佳實踐、注釋方法、注釋的自動化和半自動化方法的使用以及注釋一致性的度量。描述數(shù)據(jù)庫和/或注釋探索的新方法、技術(shù)、標(biāo)準(zhǔn)或方法的透視圖手稿，包括最先進方法的比較。視角還可以包括解決生物數(shù)據(jù)庫和生物保護領(lǐng)域的挑戰(zhàn)或辯論的觀點。簡要邀請會議就與《日刊》范圍有關(guān)的主題提出報告。歡迎在生物化學(xué)、基因組學(xué)、蛋白質(zhì)組學(xué)、糖組學(xué)、分子生物學(xué)、生物醫(yī)學(xué)、生理學(xué)、生態(tài)學(xué)、植物學(xué)、動物學(xué)和分類學(xué)等領(lǐng)域介紹數(shù)據(jù)庫和生物化學(xué)的應(yīng)用和活動。
