《生物光子學雜志》是國際上第一本專門發表生物光子學激動人心的領域的原創文章和評論的雜志，即光子技術的發展和應用，特別是對（生物）醫學，以及生命和環境科學。該雜志提供了一個平臺，讓技術開發人員（物理學家、化學家、工程師等）與最終用戶（尤其是研究臨床醫師）進行交流，讓臨床從業者了解最新的疾病診斷和治療工具。因此，該雜志是高度跨學科的，發表了在光與生物材料相互作用領域的創新研究。覆蓋范圍從基礎研究延伸到具體的發展，同時也包括最新的應用或臨床試驗/病例報告。

Journal of Biophotonics is the first international journal dedicated to publishing original articles and reviews from the exciting field of biophotonics, i.e. the development and application of photonic technologies in particular for (bio)medicine, but also life- and environmental sciences. The journal offers a platform where technology developers (physicists, chemists, engineers, etc.) communicate with endusers (in particular research clinicians) and where the clinical practitioner learns about the latest tools for the diagnosis and therapy of diseases. As such, the journal is highly interdisciplinary, publishing innovative research in the field of light interaction with biological material. The coverage extends from fundamental research to specific developments, while also including the latest applications or clinical trials/case reports.
