About Open Biology Aims and Scope Selection Criteria Article types Open access Article Processing Charges Publishing Format Conditions of Publication Editorial Board FAQs Find out more about Open Biology Aims and Scope Open Biology is a selective, online journal that welcomes original, high-quality research in cell and developmental biology, molecular and structural biology, biochemistry, neuroscience, immunology, microbiology and genetics. Articles submitted to Open Biology benefit from its broad scope and readership and dedicated media promotion and we also aim for a turnaround time of 4 weeks from submission to first decision. Top Selection Criteria The criteria for acceptance are: Original, high quality research of broad interest within cell and developmental biology, molecular and structural biology, biochemistry , neuroscience, immunology, microbiology or genetics Compliance with appropriate ethical standards Experimental protocols/procedure and statistical analysis performed to a high technical standard All manuscripts are assigned to a specialist member of the Editorial Board, who advises the Subject Editor on the suitability of the manuscript for Open Biology based on scientific quality, interest and importance. Based on this, the Subject Editor decides whether the paper should be rejected or sent for full peer-review. The Subject Editors are responsible for all final editorial decisions and make these decisions based on the reports received from the referees and Board Members. Top Article Types Open Biology publishes research articles, reviews and invited perspectives. Top Open access All papers are made freely available under an open access model immediately on publication at the Open Biology website and are deposited in PubMed Central on behalf of the author. Under a Creative Commons Attribution License (CC by 3.0), authors retain copyright for their article, but allow anyone to download, reuse, reprint, modify, distribute, and/or copy articles provided the original authors and source are cited. Top Article Processing Charges We are currently offering an introductory waiver on all article processing charges. After this period, the article processing charge for authors is $1932/£1200/€1440. Charges are only made if an article is accepted for publication (there is no charge for submission). Prices are subject to VAT, where applicable. Requests for fee waivers will be considered when authors do not have the available funds. See article processing charges FAQs. Top Publishing Format Open Biology is published online only. Along with all Royal Society journals, we are committed to electronic archiving and providing perpetual access - see our Digital Preservation policy. There is the facility for including Electronic Supplementary Material (ESM). ESM is limited to data and other materials that directly support the main conclusions of a paper but are considered additional or secondary support for the main conclusions. ESM may take the form of supplemental figures, tables, datasets, derivations and videos. The main article must include enough detail to satisfy most non-specialist readers. ESM up to 10MB are placed on the Society's website free of charge. Larger datasets must be deposited in recognised public domain databases by the author - accession numbers must be provided. Top Conditions of Publication Articles must not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere. The main findings of the article should not have been reported in the mass media. Like many journals Open Biology employs a strict media embargo policy where the reporting of a scientific article by the media is embargoed until the day of publication. The Editors have final authority in all matters relating to publication. Please also refer to our Publishing Ethics Policy. Top Editorial Board Open Biology is overseen by a team of Subject Editors with support from an International Editorial Board with expertise across the scope of the journal. Top FAQs Open Biology FAQs Find out more about Open Biology Open Biology will be promoted at a number of upcoming conferences and meetings.   Instructions to Authors Author Information Submission Guide Why submit?
