JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL BIOLOGY

The Journal of Experimental Biology (ISSN 0022-0949) is a distinguished monthly publication issued by The Company of Biologists in Cambridge, United Kingdom, that serves as a premier venue for high-quality fundamental research in the field of experimental biology. As a non-open access journal indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI), it maintains a solid academic standing, evidenced by its 2022 impact factor of 2.6 and its placement in the third quartile of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) journal ranking for the broad category of biology. The journal’s scope is comprehensive, encompassing critical areas such as animal physiology, behavior, ecology, evolutionary biology, and biomechanics, with a particular emphasis on cross-species comparative studies that elucidate the functional mechanisms of living organisms. While the publication is known for its rigorous peer-review process and relatively efficient turnaround times, which contribute to a low risk of academic controversy, authors should be mindful of the increasingly competitive submission environment and the recent slight fluctuations in its impact factor. Consequently, the journal appeals to a global audience of researchers and scholars seeking to disseminate robust, mechanistic insights into biological systems, provided that their work meets the high standards of experimental rigor and novelty expected by this reputable scientific community.
