Biology Open (BiO) (ISSN: 2046-6390)

Description

Biology Open (BiO) is an online-only Open Access journal that publishes peer-reviewed original research across all aspects of the biological sciences. We also offer a transfer option for papers rejected from our flagship journals Development, Disease Models & Mechanisms, Journal of Cell Science and The Journal of Experimental Biology.
The scope of the journal reflects The Company of Biologists' acknowledged expertise in cell science, developmental biology and experimental biology. BiO extends the service delivered by our flagship journals by providing the research community with an opportunity to publish valid and well-conducted experimental work that is otherwise robbed of timeliness and impact by the delays inherent in submission to established journals with more restrictive selection criteria.
By focusing on the timely publication of good-quality sound research, BiO will facilitate dialogue and build a valuable body of work that supports the efforts of the research community. The impact of each paper will be decided by the community itself through usage and discussion. Useful reports of negative results will also be considered for publication.
