A Year at the Forefront of...
BiO’s new ‘A Year at the Forefront of…’ series of Review articles by early-career reseearchers aims to highlight key developments that have made an impact in a specific biological field during the past year. Read more and propose a Review here.
Call for new preLighters
preLights is the preprint highlighting community supported by The Company of Biologists. At the heart of preLights are our preLighters: early-career researchers who select and write about interesting new preprints for the research community. We are currently looking for new preLighters to join our team. Find out more and apply here.
A guide to preprinting for early-career researchers
Are you an early-career researcher considering preprinting, but unsure how to approach conversations about the possibility? This Review provides tips to enable you to take ownership over the process.
Fast track
Have a paper that has been reviewed elsewhere? BiO is pleased to consider such manuscripts for fast-tracked decision making. Send us your manuscript together with the full set of reviews and decision letters, and we will make an initial decision in one week (or less).
Future Leader Reviews
BiO’s Future Leader Reviews help early-career researchers:
- Establish themselves in their field
- Find a foothold in a new area after a subject change post-PhD/postdoc
- Build their profile for grant, fellowship and job applications
