NPJ生物膜和微生物群的目標(biāo)是作為一個(gè)全面的平臺(tái)，促進(jìn)生物膜和微生物群在廣泛的科學(xué)領(lǐng)域的研究。該雜志為跨學(xué)科討論建立了一個(gè)平臺(tái)，以促進(jìn)對(duì)生物膜、種群和社區(qū)的生物學(xué)、生態(tài)學(xué)和公共功能的理解，以及醫(yī)學(xué)、環(huán)境和工程領(lǐng)域的衍生應(yīng)用。我們的范圍涵蓋了整個(gè)領(lǐng)域，從細(xì)胞-細(xì)胞通信和單細(xì)胞與環(huán)境的相互作用，一直到人類(lèi)、動(dòng)植物微生物群，以及自然環(huán)境和建筑環(huán)境的微生物群。我們歡迎研究病毒組、噬菌體、真菌組和真菌組的工作。我們出版應(yīng)用科學(xué)和理論著作。NPJ生物膜和微生物組發(fā)布各種類(lèi)型的文章，包括文章、評(píng)論文章、社論、簡(jiǎn)短的交流、通信和會(huì)議報(bào)告。《華爾街日?qǐng)?bào)》還出版了一份專(zhuān)業(yè)的編輯摘要，附在每篇文章中，總結(jié)了整篇文章中要解決的關(guān)鍵問(wèn)題。

The aim of npj Biofilms and Microbiomes is to serve as a comprehensive platform to promote biofilms and microbiomes research across a wide spectrum of scientific disciplines.The journal establishes a platform for cross disciplinary discussions to promote the understanding of the biology,ecology and communal function of biofilms, populations and communities, as well as derived applications across the medical, environmental and engineering domains.Our scope covers the entirety of the field, from cell–cell communication and single cell interaction with the environment, all the way to the human, animal and plant microbiomes, as well as the microbiomes of the natural and built environments. We welcome work studying the virome, phageome, mycome and fungome. We publish applied science as well as theoretical work.npj Biofilms and Microbiomes publishes a variety of article types including Articles, Review Articles, Editorials, Brief Communications, Correspondence and Meeting Reports. The journal also publishes a professionally written Editorial Summary to accompany each Article, which summarises the key issues being addressed within the full article.
