[T]his journal will be published using an Open Access
publishing model, which means that accepted papers
will be freely and immediately available on the journal’s website
without any access barriers. In addition, a print edition
will be made available at a minimal cost. It is our belief that
the Open Access model will become a major force in scientific
publishing in the near future, and we hope that IJBI will
be a leading journal in this new movement....We are confident that our journal will soon establish itself
as a reputable vehicle in the field, due to the advantages
of its Open Access publishing model, comprehensive coverage,
novel features, and high academic standards.

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.
