There have been a number of knowledgeable and provocative discussions on this list, especially recently, that center around "biological knowledge". Because of the growing interest and importance of the topic, we recently started the on-line, open-access BioMed Central journal, Biological Knowledge (BK as I call it), http://www.biologicalknowledge.com/ I'm the Editor-in-Chief of BK. There is information on the BK site including a list of the Editorial Board members and how to submit. We are happy to entertain standard research papers as well as reviews, meeting reports, opinion pieces, and more. The journal is not officially launched, and will not launch until a sufficient number of papers, beyond what have been submitted so far, are ready to publish or are in the pipeline. For that reason, I am working hard to seek out and contact prospective authors. Once the journal is launched, papers will be published on the site within two or three days of final acceptance. There is an article-processing charge (APC) for each paper, but none for submissions in the first six months after launch, and none for authors who have institutions or funding agencies that have arranged to cover the APC for them. All contributions to the journal will be indexed on Medline, freely accessible on the journal site, and freely accessible through NCBI's PubMed Central. Respond with any thoughts or questions you have to this list or directly to me at biologicalknowledge@gmail.com - Bob Futrelle PS: This note is not a conventional "ad", as I earn nothing for my work on the journal.
