Biology Open (BiO) is an online Open Access journal that supports the community of biologists through the publication of peer-reviewed original research across all aspects of the biological sciences. We aim to provide rapid peer review and publication of scientifically sound results and conclusions, without a requirement for perceived impact. BiO also aspires to promote a peer-review system that is timely, thorough, constructive and fair.
Authors are encouraged to submit work of appropriate scope directly to BiO. Editorial decisions are made by an international board of research-active academic Editors, led by Editor-in-Chief Steven Kelly and supported by Deputy Editors Jack Hayes, Cathy Jackson and Yishi Jin.

News from BiO
BiO announces a new partnership with Publons, part of the Web of Science Group (a Clarivate Analytics company). Publons gives reviewers formal recognition of their peer review contributions using the Reviewer Recognition Service.
BiO is proud to be part of an important new initiative launched by EMBO Press and ASAPbio. Review Commons – a platform that peer reviews research manuscripts in the life sciences before submission to a journal – will be launched in December 2019 at the ASCB meeting. Find out more here.
Planning your 2020 diary? Make sure you note our meeting grant deadlines. The Company of Biologists has a fabulous line up of Workshops scheduled for 2020, with funded places available for early-career researchers. There are also larger Journal Meetings from BiO’s sister journals Development, Journal of Cell Science and Journal of Experimental Biology.
