● History

The Journal of Experimental Biology was founded in 1934 by The Company of Biologists, with the goal of promoting and disseminating high-quality research in the field of experimental biology. The journal's first editor-in-chief was Lancelot Hogben, a renowned British biologist and geneticist who made significant contributions to the fields of embryology and evolutionary biology. Over the years, the journal has undergone several changes, including the introduction of new sections and features, such as review articles and research highlights. The journal has also expanded its scope to include research from institutions such as Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and California Institute of Technology.

● Scope

The Journal of Experimental Biology covers a wide range of topics in experimental biology, including physiology, neurobiology, cell biology, developmental biology, and ecology. The journal publishes original research articles, review articles, and commentaries from leading researchers in the field, including Nobel laureates such as James Watson, Francis Crick, and Rosalind Franklin. The journal's scope also includes research on model organisms such as Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster, and Mus musculus, as well as research on human disease and disease models. The journal has published research from institutions such as National Institutes of Health, Wellcome Trust, and European Molecular Biology Organization.

● Publication

The Journal of Experimental Biology is published biweekly by The Company of Biologists, with 24 issues per year. The journal is available in both print and online formats, and is accessible through major academic databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. The journal's articles are also available through open access initiatives, such as PubMed Central and DOAJ. The journal has a strong social media presence, with accounts on Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn, and is promoted by organizations such as American Society for Cell Biology and International Society for Stem Cell Research.

● Impact
