TO READERS AND AUTHORS

The WEB site BiosPsychéZoé, dedicated to a multidisciplinar study of the concept of life, contains this page about life from the viewpoint of biology.
Papers about life, living entities and related concepts, announcements about current initiatives, links to other WEB sites, book reviews will appear on it. The BiosPsychéZoé staff is glad to invite you to visit the site, and will carefully examine papers, comments, suggestions, announcements which will be sent to ramellini@allnet.it.
Authors should submit an e-mail file of their paper, possibly in .html format, or as a Word (up to Word 6) file. Consult previously published articles of this site for style. Add at least one abstract, in English, with the title of the paper, and a list of key-words.
Authors whose papers will be accepted will receive a request of agreement about the publication of the paper on this site.
A tip. The Web is a highly dynamical entity. Files continuously appear, change and disappear. It is possible that some of the titles quoted below have changed address. Try then to give a search engine the title of the paper, and hope to obtain the updated URL.
