ALT A card announcing the call for papers stating 'Special Issue: The Integrative Biology of Reproduction Guest Editors: Etya Amsalem, Tony D. Williams and Kathryn Wilsterman. Submission deadline: 30 June 2026' with the Journal of Experimental Biology logo and the logo for the Special Issue containing an egg cell surrounded by eight sperm cells. The eighth sperm, on the top right, is penetrating the egg.
ALT “Journal of Experimental Biology is one of the most important journals in my field and publication in this journal is always an achievement. The Read & Publish agreement shared between The Company of Biologists and my university makes it possible for me and my students to publish in this journal, so it will remain at the top of my list when I choose where to share my scientific findings with my peers and anyone else who wants to read open, accessible and high-quality science.”
ALT Fast & Fair peer review. A new initiative offering high-quality peer review within 7 working days of submission.
