Academic publishing company Pensoft has announced that BioDiscovery, an open access peer-reviewed online journal, has joined Pensoft's portfolio as the first biomedical journal for the publisher. BioDiscovery covers a large scope of research fields, stretching from life sciences to medicine, and encompassing everything in between.
By joining publisher Pensoft's portfolio of modern online advanced open access academic journals, BioDiscovery moves to a new level of innovative, high-technology scholarly publishing and expands on the type of publications to cover a wide range of research outputs. As a result of this new collaboration, the journal will also cover a wide range of research outputs, encompassing the whole research cycle. To cover the whole research cycle, along with traditional research articles and data papers, BioDiscovery will be accepting for publication a variety of research outputs, such as Clinical Studies, Clinical Trials, Replication Studies, Case Studies, Methods, Research Posters, Review Articles and even Single-media Publications.
The journal provides a platform for scientists in all areas of biology and medicine to share, discuss, and promote new ideas and developments. Devoted to this mission, the journal will now be published on the unique and innovative platform, developed by Pensoft, called ARPHA. Thus, it will take full advantage of the ARPHA Authoring Tool, providing authors with the unprecedented opportunity to work collaboratively with their co-authors and peer-reviewers during the whole lifecycle of their manuscripts. Moreover, all authoring, publishing and reviewing happens in real time, thanks to the entirely Web-based system and XML-based workflow.
While the high quality of published papers is controlled by distinguished world-class editors, authors and reviewers can also use the opportunity for open peer review, which will also be assigned with a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), thus ensuring even stronger credibility and transparency of their work. Thanks to the integration of all Pensoft journals with Publons, announced earlier this year, BioDiscovery reviewers will benefit from an automated registration at Publons, where they can join the tens of thousands reviewers and get credit for their peer reviews.
