Description
This interdisciplinary journal explores the origins, evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe, positioning itself at the intersection of biology, chemistry, astronomy, and geology. Astrobiology focuses on the study of life's potential beyond Earth, considering extreme environments, planetary habitability, and the search for extraterrestrial life. It is indexed in Web of Science and Scopus. The journal delves into topics such as the formation of stars and planets, the prebiotic chemistry leading to life, and the adaptation of organisms to harsh conditions. Researchers in this field seek to understand the boundaries of life as we know it and to speculate on forms of life that may be radically different. The journal's target audience includes scientists, researchers, and students from diverse fields sharing a common interest in the question of life's existence elsewhere. Astrobiology plays a crucial role in advancing our understanding of our place in the cosmos. By submitting your research, you contribute to this exciting area of scientific discovery, as well as the search for life beyond our planet, and the implications this knowledge might have for humanity.
