The Royal Society, the national academy of science ofthe UK and the Commonwealth, is at the cutting edgeof scientific progress. We support many top youngscientists, engineers and technologists, influencescience policy, debate scientific issues with the publicand much more. We are an independent, charitablebody and derive our authoritative status from over 1400Fellows and Foreign Members.

Our mission: to expand knowledge and further the roleof science and engineering in making the world a betterplace.

The Royal Society’s strategic priorities are to:

• invest in future scientific leaders and ininnovation,

• influence policymaking with the best scientificadvice,

• invigorate science and mathematics education,• increase access to the best science internationally,

and• inspire an interest in the joy, wonder and

excitement of scientific discovery.

B is devoted to a specific area of the biological sciences,and aims to define a research frontier that is advancing rapidly, often bridgingtraditional disciplines. In particular, the journal is focused on the following four clusterareas: neuroscience and cognition; organismal and evolutionary biology; cell anddevelopmental biology; and health and disease. As well as theme issues, the journalpublishes papers from the Royal Society’s biological discussion meetings.

Selection criteriaTheme Issue topics are selected from proposals

submitted to the journal. Each issue is guest edited by

one or more experts in the field who invite all

contributions (the journal does not accept unsolicited

stand-alone papers). The criteria for selection of topics

are scientific excellence, originality and interest across

disciplines within biology. The Editor is responsible for

all decisions on proposals and makes these decisions

based on the reports received from the referees and/or

Editorial Board members.

Publishing formatPhil. Trans. R. Soc. B articles are published regularly online

and in print issues twice a month. Along with all Royal

Society journals, we are committed to archiving and

providing perpetual access. The journal also offers the

facility for including Electronic Supplementary Material

(ESM) to papers. Contents of the ESM might include

details of methods, derivations of equations, large tables

of data, DNA sequences and computer programs.

However, the printed version must include enough detail

to satisfy most non-specialist readers. Supplementary

data up to 10Mb is placed on the Society's website free

of charge. Larger datasets must be deposited in

recognised public domain databases by the author.

Conditions of publicationArticles must not have been published previously, nor be

under consideration for publication elsewhere. The main

findings of the article should not have been reported in

the mass media. Like many journals, Phil. Trans. R. Soc. B

employs a strict embargo policy where the reporting of

a scientific article by the media is embargoed until a

specific time. The Editor has final authority in all matters

relating to publication.
