Translational Bioinformatics Online Journals

As an interdisciplinary field of science, bioinformatics combines biology, computer science, information engineering, mathematics and statistics to analyze and interpret the biological data. Bioinformatics has been used for in silico analyses of biological queries using mathematical and statistical techniques. Translational Bioinformatics is the development of storage,  analytic, and interpretive methods to optimize the transformation of increasingly voluminous biomedical data, and, genomic data, into proactive, predictive, preventive, and participatory health.  Translational bioinformatics includes ,research on the development of novel techniques for the integration of biological and clinical data and the evolution of ,clinical informatics methodology to encompass biological observations. The end  product of translational bioinformatics ,is newly found knowledge from these ,integrative efforts that can be disseminated  to a variety of stakeholders, including, biomedical scientists, clinicians, and patients. There are two main routes to making  research ,outputs ,openly accessible. One involves publishing articles or books, via the OA route on a publisher’s platform  (often referred to as gold open, access). The other involves archiving a version, of the manuscript in an OA repository  (often described as green open access). Content published via the gold OA route is accessible immediately on publication,  while manuscripts deposited via the green, OA route may, in many cases, be made accessible only once a self-archiving  embargo period has elapsed. The terms, for onward sharing and re-use, of OA content will depend on the licence under  which it has been made available.
