Is your paper a fit?
The surest way to know is to compare your own abstract against what this journal has actually been publishing, rather than against its aims-and-scope page. Paste your abstract and Journal Hunt will tell you how close Bioinformatics is — and show you journals like it.

Facts come from OpenAlex, DOAJ and Wikidata and may lag the journal’s own pages. Check the publisher’s site before submitting. Indexing shown here is what is recorded, not a complete picture — about a third of journals have no indexing recorded anywhere we can read, so “not recorded” does not mean a journal is absent from Scopus or Web of Science.
