Biology Direct

Publishing model:
Open access

Overview

As an author driven, open peer-review journal, Biology Direct provides authors and readers with a transparent alternative to the traditional model of peer review. By making the peer review process open rather than anonymous and making the reviewer’s reports public, Biology Direct looks to bolster productive scientific debate. The journal publishes in the following sections; bioinformatics, evolutionary biology, genomics, mathematical biology, non-coding DNA & RNA, structural and molecular biology and systems biology.
