Figure 1 Cover Collections

Introduction: The Innovation has published 158 articles from 2020 to 2021 (Figure 2). The authors come from 29 countries and articles belong to 9 categories (Figure 3), which have been cited by researchers from 78 countries (Source: Web of Science). The Innovation is a multidisciplinary journal covering all natural science fields. To facilitate readers to refer to articles in a specific field, Editorial Team integrates the contents from different Issues to make this Virtual Collection. The Innovation will change to bimonthly publishing in 2022 (Jan, Mar, May, Jul, Sep, Nov).

引言：从2020到2021，The Innovation出版两卷七期共158篇文章（图2），作者来自29个国家。这些文章分布在9个栏目（图3），已被78个国家作者引用（数据源: Web of Science）。The Innovation是综合性英文期刊，发文内容涵盖所有自然科学领域。为方便读者查看出版的某领域文章，编辑部整合这两年不同刊次的相关内容，陆续推送Virtual Collection（虚拟专辑）……在本刊发表的文章，同时在微信公众号上进行“科普化解读”——尽可能让更多人懂得文章的主旨和亮点：传播科学知识，传承科学素养。自2022年起，The Innovation改为双月刊（出版月份：1、3、5、7、9、11）。

About Life Sciences (v1)

生命科学 1.0

Life sciences: It aims to analyze the mysteries of life and understand the mechanisms behind various life activities, as well as the interactions amid species, natural environment and ecosystem. A huge number of biodata were produced and a lot of them are applied to upgrade medical, agricultural, breeding, electronics, materials, artificial intelligence, information and other technologies to treat diseases, improve human body functions, and provide a suitable living environment.

生命科学：生命科学旨在解析生命的奥秘，让人类理解各类生命活动背后的机制，以及生命体间、生命体与自然间的相互作用。研究者不断优化理论体系和技术手段，从原有的整体-系统-器官-组织-细胞水平，深入到目前的DNA、蛋白质、代谢物等水平刻画生命活动。海量生命科学数据助力于不断升级的医疗、农业、养殖、电子、材料、人工智能、信息等领域的发展；为开展疾病治疗、改善生命机能，可持续的生存环境提供了保障。本次虚拟专辑收录与生命科学相关的News & Buzz 3篇，Article 4篇，Report 17篇，Commentary 16篇，Review 4篇, Perspective 4篇, Out-of-the-Box 1篇；共计49篇。
