Crew with an Editorial Board of nine members, includingJulian Huxley.[3][4]When the journal ran into financial trouble,George Parker Bidder II,the founder ofThe Company of Biologists,rescued it in 1925.[4]Sir James Graywas appointed as the journal's first Editor-in-Chief in 1925 and the journal was renamedThe Journal of Experimental Biologyin 1929 (ISSN0022-0949).[4]
The journal has published ground-breaking work in the areas ofbiomechanics,skintransplantationandneurophysiology,and has published work byNobel PrizewinnersPeter MedawarandAugust Krogh.
Journal content from 1923 is available online via the journal website. Content over six months old is freely available, and authors may choose to make their articleOpen Accessby paying a subsidised fee. All journal content is freely available to community members in developing countries through theHealth InterNetwork Access to Research Initiative.[5]
In 2009,Journal of Experimental Biologywas included in theSchool Library Association's top 100 journals in Biology and Medicine over the last 100 years.[6]
Scope and content
editJournal of Experimental Biologypublishes original research articles, methods and techniques, and reviews in the field of comparative physiology.[7]
The journal currently publishes papers on a wide range of subjects frombiomechanicsand metabolicphysiology,toneurophysiologyandneuroethology.Besides peer-reviewed research, the journal features additional material such as "Inside JEB", which provides information about some of each issue's content, "Outside JEB", which discusses literature published in other journals, "JEB Classics", which revisit key papers published in the journal's history, and "Commentaries", which review topics of current interest.[8]
The journal operates on a continuous publication model. The final version of record is released online as soon as it is ready.[5]
