Biology Direct launches new Mathematical Biology section
We are
delighted to announce the launch of the new Mathematical Biology section of Biology Direct, over seen by the
Section Editor Andrei Yaklovev, and supported by an international Editorial Board. Full details are available in our recent Editorial.
Biology Direct, founded by David J Lipman, Laura Landweber, and Eugene Koonin, operates a unique open peer review system, whereby reviewers’ comments and authors’ responses are published alongside the final article, making the process of peer review open, rather than anonymous.
Biology Direct was launched in 2006 and has since published over 75 articles; nearly half of which have been accessed over 2,000 times, and seven articles have been highlighted on the literature evaluation service Faculty of 1000 Biology.
Biology Direct is tracked by Thomson Scientific and is on course to receive its first impact factor in 2008. As an open access publication, all articles are freely and immediately available online, maximising the visibility of the author's work, and copyright is retained by the author.
