Information about Biology Letters

Biology Letters
Biology Letters (ISSN 1744-9561) is a journal covering a wide spectrum of the biological sciences published both in print and online. Launched from Proceedings of the Royal Society B in 2005, it publishes papers regularly online. Originally publishing each quarter, from 2007 it publishes 6 issues a year. All content is published weekly online sometime before it appears in print, although it is fully citably via its DOI from its date of publication online.

Its emphasis is in evolutionary biology and animal behaviour, but it has a growing reputation in molecular evolution. The Editor is Brian Charlesworth, FRS, and it has an international editorial board, the names of whom can be found via the Biology Letters homepage ([1] All content is assigned to one of the following categories: Animal behaviour, Biomechanics, Community Ecology, Evolutionary Biology, Evolutionary developmental biology, Genome Biology, Marine Biology, Molecular evolution, Neurobiology, Palaeontology, Pathogen Biology, Physiology, Phylogeny, Population ecology or Population Genetics which gives a good idea of the scope of the journal.

Content published online can be found here.

As a journal of the Royal Society, it belongs to a group of journals including the longest running scientific journal in the world - Philosophical Transactions. In September 2006, the Royal Society launched its entire archive online to wide acclaim.
