Open access publisher BioMed Central, US, has announced the launch of the new Mathematical Biology section of Biology Direct. The new Mathematical Biology section will be overseen by Section Editor Andrei Yaklovev, and supported by an international editorial board.
Biology Direct operates a unique open peer review system, whereby reviewers' comments and authors' responses are published alongside the final article, making the process of peer review open, rather than anonymous. Launched in 2006, Biology Direct has since published over 75 articles; nearly half of which have been accessed over 2,000 times, and seven articles have been highlighted on the literature evaluation service Faculty of 1000 Biology.
Biology Direct is tracked by Thomson Scientific and is on course to receive its first impact factor in 2008.
