The Journal of Experimental Biology

The British Journal of Experimental Biology was established in Edinburgh in 1923 (Br. J. Exp. Biol.: ). It was published by Oliver and Boyd and edited by F. A. E. Crew with an Editorial Board of nine members, including Julian Huxley. When the journal ran into financial trouble, George Parker Bidder II, the founder of The Company of Biologists, rescued it in 1925. In 2009, Journal of Experimental Biology was included in the School Library Association's top 100 journals in Biology and Medicine over the last 100 years. == Scope and content ==

Journal of Experimental Biology publishes original research articles, methods and techniques, and reviews in the field of comparative physiology. The journal currently publishes papers on a wide range of subjects from biomechanics and metabolic physiology, to neurophysiology and neuroethology. Besides peer-reviewed research, the journal features additional material such as "Inside JEB", which provides information about some of each issue's content, "Outside JEB", which discusses literature published in other journals, "JEB Classics", which revisit key papers published in the journal's history, and "Commentaries", which review topics of current interest. The journal operates on a continuous publication model. The final version of record is released online as soon as it is ready. == Abstracting and indexing ==
