生物系統工程出版工程和物理科學方面的研究報告，這些報告代表了在理解或模擬生物系統性能方面的進展，以促進土地利用和環境、農業和便利設施、生物生產過程和食物鏈方面的可持續發展。該期刊的主題反映了生物系統工程研究的廣泛性和跨學科性質。論文可報告實驗結果、理論分析、機械和機械化系統、工藝或加工方法、設備和建筑物、實驗設備、實驗室和分析技術及儀器儀表的設計或創新。

Biosystems Engineering publishes research in engineering and the physical sciences that represent advances in understanding or modelling of the performance of biological systems for sustainable developments in land use and the environment, agriculture and amenity, bioproduction processes and the food chain. The subject matter of the journal reflects the wide range and interdisciplinary nature of research in engineering for biological systems.Papers may report the results of experiments, theoretical analyses, design of, or innovations relating to, machines and mechanisation systems, processes or processing methods, equipment and buildings, experimental equipment, laboratory and analytical techniques and instrumentation.
