Scope
Astrobiology covers cutting-edge and multidisciplinary research on the study of origin, evolution, distribution and future of life across the Universe.
Scope
Astrobiology is a relatively new scientific field concerned with the study of life, namely its origin, evolution, distribution, and future on Earth and elsewhere in the Universe. However, these matters are too large to be addressed within one scientific discipline alone but needs a multidisciplinary approach bringing together biological and physical sciences (such as chemistry, physics, geology, planetary science, astronomy etc.) to investigate arguably the most fundamental scientific questions.
The new Specialty Section of Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Science is dedicated to publish original, peer-reviewed scientific research articles of the highest quality to advance our scientific understanding in astrobiology through observational, experimental, theoretical investigations as well as space missions including but not limited to:
- habitable environments
- the origin and early evolution of life
- the search for life elsewhere
- distribution of life
- life’s interaction with its environment
- exoplanets
- new technological approaches for astrobiology
- astrobiology driven new space-mission conceptsy
Astrobiology in Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences welcomes original scientific contributions of the following article types: Research Articles, Review Articles, Case reports, Corrections, Hypothesis and Education Articles, Editorials, General Commentaries, Opinions, and Technology Reports etc. from researchers around the world in the area of astrobiology.
Indexed in: Google Scholar, DOAJ, CrossRef, SAO/NASA ADS, Scopus coming soon, Emerging Sources Citation Index, Inspire, CLOCKSS
PMCID: NA
Astrobiology welcomes submissions of the following article types: Brief Research Report, Data Report, Editorial, General Commentary, Hypothesis and Theory, Mini Review, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Review and Specialty Grand Challenge.
