EMBO Reports is a print and
online journal dedicated to providing rapid publication of sharply focused
short papers and review articles in all areas of molecular biology.
The journal also features commentaries on the social impact of advances
in the life sciences and conversely the influence of society on science.
EMBO Reports has rapidly
become recognised as a unique and valuable contribution to the scientific
literature with a current impact factor of 8.175. Since January 2003,
EMBO Reports has been published by Nature Publishing Group (NPG), bringing
increased visibility to the journal.
Divided into three sections, it is designed to inform not only the
molecular biologist, but also those interested in the current dialogue
on the relationship between science and society.
 The
Science & Society section features essays and articles
on topics beyond the realms of scientific research. The articles provide
commentary and analysis on the impact of politics, industry, finance
and society on the environment in which scientific research is carried
out – as well as considering the consequences of biological research
for society. Article formats include:
• Editorials – insights from the editors
• Correspondence – response and commentary
• Book reviews – critiques of current publications
• Viewpoints – expert opinion
• Analysis – journalistic perspectives
• Interviews – with those shaping science
The
Reviews section condenses the vast amount of information
presented in the scientific literature into concise articles. These
articles are written by leading experts in the field and presented in
four formats:
• Reviews – concise updates on rapidly
changing fields
• Concepts – reviews with an eye to the
future
• Meeting reports – the latest developments
from recent conferences
• Literature reports – highlights of important
papers
Scientific
Reports are sharply focused primary research papers
that provide major new insights into a particular aspect of molecular
biology. Rapid, high-quality peer review of these articles by experts
throughout the world keeps a broad readership abreast of the latest
developments.
