Nature Publishing Group is to launch a new, open access, peer reviewed, online-only journal - Molecular Systems Biology - early next year. Publishing costs will be paid by the article authors, but waived for those without research funding or in developing countries.
Published in partnership with the EMBO, Molecular Systems Biology will publish "relevant, high-quality research in the evolving fields of bioinformatics, genomics and proteomics, microbial systems, cell signaling and computational networks, while helping to integrate data and theory to better understand the dynamic and complex nature of living systems".
