Open access · Peer reviewed · Biosemiotics
An interdisciplinary journal for theoretical, applied, and empirical research on signs, meaning, and communication in biological systems, from molecular signaling to ecosystems and human culture.
Biosemiotics studies sign processes in living systems: how organisms generate, interpret, and respond to meaningful signs. It draws on biology, semiotics, philosophy of science, linguistics, cognitive science, and systems theory.
The journal welcomes work that connects theory with evidence, whether the question concerns a gene regulatory code, an immune response, an animal call, or a plant's chemical signal.
The journal's scope includes, but is not limited to, the areas below. The Aims and Scope page describes it in full.
Genetic codes, epigenetic and intracellular signaling, and gene regulation read as sign processes.
Code biology · Cellular semiosisImmune recognition, neural coding, perception, learning, and the phenomenology of meaning.
Endosemiotics · Cognitive biosemioticsAnimal communication, plant and microbial signaling, symbiosis, and organism–environment relations.
Zoosemiotics · Phytosemiotics · EcosemioticsThe emergence of sign competence, language origins, and continuities between biological and cultural semiosis.
Evolution of semiosis · Semiotic modelingRequirements for each type are in the Instructions for Authors.
