This message applies to the accounts of Development, Journal of Cell Science, Journal of Experimental Biology, Disease Models & Mechanisms, Biology Open, the Node, preLights and FocalPlane. All those accounts will be redirected to The Company of Biologists’ account. If you decide that the news we post is no longer relevant for you, you can unfollow us at any time. We’re still committed to hosting our own server, set up for and by biologists: https://biologists.social.

Run by The Company of Biologists, this is a space for biologists to discuss science, research, teaching, life, and more. We would like to build a community and support communication between biologists

Mastodon hosted on biologists.social
Over the next weeks, The Company of Biologists will be combining its current nine Mastodon accounts into one single account: https://biologists.social/@Co_Biologists. This company-wide account will bring you news about our journals, community sites, events and charitable activities. If you’re currently following any of our accounts and are happy to keep following us, there is no need for you to do anything – you’ll automatically be transferred over to the company account.
We are inviting applications for the role of Executive Editor for @Dev_journal a prestigious not-for-profit journal serving the international developmental and stem cell biology community. This is an exciting opportunity (resulting from an internal promotion) for a talented scientific editor. If you're an experienced editor with a love of developmental biology and its community, this could be the job for you: https://biologists.com/wp-content/uploads/DEV_ExecEd.pdf

Highly-respected non-profit journals like @Dev_journal support scientific communities. Authors are proud to publish there.

But, when your paper is rejected by a glam journal, it is tempting to avoid re-review by sliding down commercial ecosystems

But wait! Look! Development say “we will also consider papers with reviewer reports from other journals.” Game changer!

Plus: rigorous and fair reviewing system that avoids excessive additional experiments.
