Development, Journal of Cell Science and Journal of Experimental Biology are Transformative Journals, meaning that they gradually increase their share of Open Access research content each year. Our journals have not only met, but exceeded their Open Access growth targets for 2021.

Find out more about our Transformative Journals and our Read & Publish initiative.

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).

As a community journal, BiO is committed to supporting the next generation of researchers. Explore our full archive of First Person interviews to hear from the early-career researchers behind our papers, as they share the story behind the research, their thoughts on life at the bench and what’s in store for the future.

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
