The EMBO Journal

Launched in 1982, The EMBO Journal is EMBO’s flagship publication, recognised worldwide for its originality, breadth, and enduring contributions to molecular biology. The journal pioneered numerous enhancements of the publishing process to best support the scientific community. 

• Dedicated scientific editors - supported by an academic advisory board - select manuscripts based on criteria including conceptual advance, physiological relevance and mechanism.
• An advisory committee of early-career PIs - EMBO Journal Catalysts - advises on scientific direction and policy.
• Inclusive referee panels, balanced for expertise, geography and gender. Mentoring and empowerment of experienced early-career scientists.
• Author benefits: scooping protection from preprint, transparent and consultative peer review, pre-decision and revision author discussion, data-integrity and curation services.
