RNA Biology
Academic journal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
RNA Biology is an open access peer-reviewed scientific journal in the field of ribonucleic acid (RNA) research. It is indexed for MEDLINE. The current editor-in-chief is Alain Laederach (University of North Carolina). Since 2022, it has converted to a full Open Access and exclusively online journal.
Wikipedia initiative
The journal launched a new section for descriptions of families of RNA molecules in December 2008 and requires contributing authors to also submit a draft article on the RNA family for publication in Wikipedia. The journal submits the draft article to peer review and then publish it in Wikipedia. This initiative is a collaboration between the journal and the consortium that produces the Rfam database of RNA families.[1]
