Revista da Biologia

The Revista da Biologia

("Journal of Biology") is a scientific journal created by initiative of academics from different Brazilian universities to publicize studies from all areas of Biology at no costs.
Since scientific and journalistic instructions are included in the review guidelines, the journal is useful for bridging the gap between scientists and society.
The journal publishes texts in English and Portuguese languages. All the texts are peer-reviewed, and the manuscript is published immediately after the conclusion of the editorial process.
Together with the E-Psi journal, "Journal of Biology" follows a novel and yet incipient policy of communicating science without charges for both authors and readers.
Objectives
The journal has three objectives: 1) to promote scientific dialog through open access content; 2) to bridge the gap between the academic and non-academic communities; 3) to train undergraduates and graduate students in writing and reviewing of scientific texts. Both didactic and journalistic aspects are valued by the journal. To ensure the quality of the published material, peer-reviewing is supported by reviewing guides, which are available for both reviewers and authors.
