Announcing the launch of a new open access journal from the Royal Society

"Open Biology is a new, fast, open access journal covering biology at the molecular and cellular level. This selective, online Royal Society journal will publish original, high quality, peer-reviewed research in cell biology; developmental and structural biology; molecular biology; biochemistry; neuroscience; immunology; microbiology; and genetics. The criteria for acceptance will be scientific excellence, importance and originality. Importantly, the Open Biology Editors and Editorial Board are practising scientists who aim to provide a journal that will serve their respective communities. They will actively engage in identifying excellent papers, selecting referees and steering the overall direction of the journal. Our intention is to publish research of the highest quality and to ensure a fair and speedy review process without recourse to unnecessary rounds of revision. Articles will include a minimum of supplementary material, presented separately from the main text...."
