Comptes Rendus Biologies is a peer-reviewed electronic journal, whose objective is to allow researchers to quickly make their work known to the international scientific community. It is one of the seven journals published by the Académie des sciences, heir to the Comptes Rendus des Séances hebdomadaires de l'Académie des Sciences founded in 1835 by Arago.

Comptes Rendus Biologies covers all areas of life sciences: biomodelling, molecular biology and genetics, developmental and reproductive biology, cell biology, biochemistry, neuroscience, immunology, pharmacology, ecology, etc. It publishes mainly special issues, but also review articles, historical perspectives, pedagogical texts or conference proceedings, without length limit, in English or in French and in a format as flexible as necessary (figures, associated data, etc.).

Comptes Rendus Biologies only publishes articles that have been solicited by the journal's editorial board. Unsolicited submissions are not considered.

Comptes Rendus Biologies is published since 2020 with the centre Mersenne pour l'édition scientifique ouverte (Mersenne Center for open scientific publishing), according to a virtuous Diamond Open Access policy, free for authors (no publication fees) as well as for readers (immediate and perennial open access).
