PRO-SCIENCE
These sources consist of legitimate science or are evidence-based through credible scientific sourcing. Legitimate science follows the scientific method, is unbiased, and does not use emotional words. These sources also respect the consensus of experts in the given scientific field and strive to publish peer-reviewed science. Some sources in this category may have a slight political bias but adhere to scientific principles. See all Pro-Science sources.
- Overall, we rate BioPhysical Reports as a Pro-Science journal. We also rate them High for factual reporting due to a clean fact check record.

Analysis / Bias
BioPhysical Reports is a hybrid (some open-access) journal that publishes information on Biology. The journal primarily publishes research such as this: Quantifying the minimum localization uncertainty of image scanning localization microscopy.
Cell Press is an open-access/hybrid publisher of scientific journals. There are two types of Open Access Journals, legitimate and predatory, both of which charge the author for publication. Predatory journals often lack peer review and are generally considered not credible. The BioPhysical Reports is considered a legitimate, open-access publisher that is frequently indexed in PubMed. However, Cell Press has been criticized for retracting some studies.
Although Cell Press has retracted some studies in other publications, BioPhysical Reports publishes credible scientific studies that are factual and appropriately peer-reviewed.
