From the inception of the journal theoretical biology has been given a broad interpretation, as comprising both the mathematical and the philosophical foundations of biological science. Acta Biotheoretica is aimed at an interdisciplinary readership of biologists, mathematicians and philosophers of science. The journal is published annually by Kluwer Academic Publishers (2004: volume 52; 4 issues per volume). Acta Biotheoretica publishes articles on any topic in mathematical biology or philosophy of biology. The journal is also open for contributions from closely related fields, such as bioinformatics and the mathematical and philosophical foundations of biomedical science. Acta Biotheoretica publishes regular articles reporting on original research (with a limit of 10,000 words), invited review articles, and three types of short contributions (with a limit of 2,000 words): discussion notes, "Ideas in Theoretical Biology" (short papers intended to serve as the upshot for discussion), and book reviews. All submissions are welcome. The Managing Editor especially invites philosophers of biology/science to submit manuscripts for publication in Acta Biotheoretica. Researchers in the early stages of their careers are also encouraged to submit contributions. For further information please see the journalšs website at http://www.kluweronline.nl/issn/0001-5342 .
