The Annual Review of Biomedical Sciences - ARBS - publishes peer-refereed reviews on diverse topics of the Biomedical Sciences. Coverage in ARBS spans subject areas such as Biochemistry, Genetics, Morphology, Physiology, Psychology, Behavior, Ecology and Evolution. Reviews on the whole range of animals, including invertebrates and humans or non-human vertebrates, are included.
ARBS welcomes reviews with theoretical, medical or production approaches. The reviews may focus on practical, basic, epidemiological or clinical approaches, and may involve molecular, systemic or whole-organism aspects.
The reviews should highlight unresolved questions and future directions, and provide an up-to-date synopsis for research workers in the chosen field. Reviews with bold and original proposals are especially welcome.
