Revista da Biologia

Revista da Biologia is a Brazilian scientific journal created by academics from various Brazilian universities, dedicated to publishing studies across all areas of biology. It is an open-access publication, meaning there are no costs for authors or readers. The journal accepts manuscripts in both English and Portuguese, which undergo peer review. Manuscripts are published immediately after the editorial process is completed. The journal publishes several text formats: articles (original scientific results), expanded abstracts (summarized versions of previously published high-impact articles), essays (theoretical discussions), reviews (summaries of the state of knowledge indicating future research directions), opinions (discussions with personal perspectives), methods (descriptions of laboratory procedure details), and comments (discussions on relevant aspects of recently published articles). Revista da Biologia has three stated objectives: 1) to foster scientific dialogue through open-access publication; 2) to create an informative bridge between the academic and non-academic communities; and 3) to train undergraduate and graduate students in writing and reviewing scientific texts. Didactic and outreach aspects are valued by the journal. To ensure the quality of published material, peer review is conducted using review forms available to both reviewers and authors. Copyright is defined by a Creative Commons license, allowing copying, distribution, and modification of the material as long as credit is given. The journal is indexed in Google Scholar, Latindex, Dedalus, and CrossRef (DOI 10.7594/revbio). It publishes both regular volumes with articles on multiple themes and thematic volumes, such as Molecular Biology (June 2010), Parasitology (June 2011), Biogeography (December 2011), Environmental Changes (June 2012), Chronobiology and Philosophy and History of Biology (December 2012), Cave Biology (July 2013), Physical Activity Sciences (January 2014), Theoretical Biology (July 2014), The Many Faces of a Misunderstood Plant (December 2014, about cannabis), and Scientific Journalism and Neurosciences (January 2016). The journal is hosted by the Instituto de Biociências of the Universidade de São Paulo (USP), as indicated by its official website. It maintains an active online presence, including a Facebook page, and promotes international dissemination via social networks.

Revista da Biologia was created by the initiative of academics from different Brazilian universities, with the aim of disseminating studies from all areas of biology without any cost to authors or readers. The journal is hosted by the Instituto de Biociências of the Universidade de São Paulo (USP), as indicated by its official website. It has published regular volumes with articles on multiple themes as well as thematic volumes. Notable thematic volumes include: Molecular Biology (June 2010), Parasitology (June 2011), Biogeography (December 2011), Environmental Changes (June 2012, covering global warming, extinction, etc.), Chronobiology and Philosophy and History of Biology (December 2012), Cave Biology (July 2013), Physical Activity Sciences (January 2014), Theoretical Biology (July 2014, on applications of physics, mathematics, and engineering in biology), The Many Faces of a Misunderstood Plant (December 2014, about cannabis), and Scientific Journalism and Neurosciences (January 2016). The journal accepts texts in English and Portuguese, which undergo peer review, and manuscripts are published immediately after the editorial process is completed. It is indexed in Google Scholar, Latindex, Dedalus, and CrossRef (DOI 10.7594/revbio).
