EMBO Press appoints Facundo Batista and Bernd Pulverer as Chief Editors of The EMBO Journal and EMBO Reports, respectively. Batista and Pulverer take up the appointment with immediate effect.
The EMBO Journal and EMBO Reports adhere to the transparent peer-review process: the journals publish referee comments, author responses and editorial decision letters in full alongside the paper. The EMBO Journal and EMBO Reports publish about half of their papers fully Open Access; the other half is freely accessible from six months after publication. Journal income is used to cross-finance EMBO Press Open Access journals and parts of EMBO Programmes fostering life scientists at different career stages.
In the four decades since its launch in 1982, The EMBO Journal has maintained its standing as a leading community venue for the best life science research. The journal is dedicated to excellence in the quality, depth and breadth of the research it presents. A team of expert scientific editors works with an editorial board and peer-reviewers from the international scientific community to select and publish consequential research of outstanding originality and interest to the journal’s global readership.
Papers published in EMBO Reports present research results ranging from structural biology and biophysics to cell and developmental biology, with a broadening scope including host-pathogen interaction, neuroscience, evolutionary biology, environmental science and ecology. The journal publishes all formats of research papers. It particularly welcomes more self-contained studies, which show a high level of technical quality and conceptual advance, but not necessarily an exhaustive analysis of molecular mechanistic detail.
