Interdisciplinary Sciences: Computational Life Sciences is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published quarterly by Springer Science+Business Media on behalf of International Association of Scientists in the Interdisciplinary Areas. It covers developments in interdisciplinary areas of sciences with a focus on computational life sciences. ^[1] It was established in 2009 ^[2] and its current editor-in-chief is Dong-Qing Wei (Shanghai Jiao Tong University). ^[3]

The journal was subject to controversy due to Luc Montagnier's 2009 publications on DNA teleportation, ^{[4] [5]} which were characterized as pseudoscience. ^{[6] [7]} It was criticized for its peer review system and the unusually short turnaround time for these publications; Montagnier served as the chairman of the editorial board at the time. ^{[6] [8]}

Abstracting and indexing

The journal is abstracted and indexed in:

• Biological Abstracts ^[9]
• BIOSIS Previews ^[9]
• ProQuest databases ^[10]
• Science Citation Index Expanded ^[9]
• Scopus ^[10]

According to the Journal Citation Reports , the journal has a 2024 impact factor of 3.9. ^[11]
