Virology Journal is ready to debut at BioMed Central. Virology Journal is an Open Access journal emphasizing rapid communication of high quality original research in human, animal, plant, insect, bacterial and fungal viruses.
From the introductory editorial:
There are several outstanding virology journals covering all aspects of this dynamic field, but none of the general virology journals are exclusively published on-line or are Open Access. With the launch of Virology Journal, we hope to catalyse a fuller utilization of the Internet for scientific communication in virology drawing on our long experience with the ATV website. We welcome any advice and input.
The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
