BMC Biology is recruiting new Guest Editors
We are looking for Guest Editors for our upcoming article Collections in the fields of cell biology, neuroscience and plant pathology. If you are interested in becoming a Guest Editor please see this page.
Portable peer review
BMC Biology supports portable peer review by sharing reviews and evaluating papers based on existing reports. Learn more here.
BMC Biology is accepting submissions directly from bioRxiv. Please see here for more information.
COVID-19 and impact on peer reviewAs a result of the significant disruption that is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic we are very aware that many researchers will have difficulty in meeting the timelines associated with our peer review process during normal times. Please do let us know if you need additional time. Our systems will continue to remind you of the original timelines but we intend to be highly flexible at this time.
