There is a new OA journal of interest to the bioinformatics.org community: DATABASE - The Journal of Biological Databases and Curation (http://www.oxfordjournals.org/our_journals/databa/). It is now accepting new submissions (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/database).
Aims and scope: Huge volumes of primary data are currently archived in numerous open-access databases, and with new generation technologies becoming more common in laboratories, large datasets will become even more prevalent than today. The archiving, curation, analysis and understanding of all of this data is a challenge.
Database: The Journal of Biological Databases and Curation provides a platform for the presentation of novel ideas in database research surrounding biological information, and aims to help strengthen the bridge between database developers and users.
The journal will publish:
- Detailed descriptions of databases, and database tools, in the broad arena of biology - authors are strongly encouraged to include a biological discovery or a 'testable' hypothesis in their paper
- Shorter papers describing significant updates to established databases
- Objective reviews of complementary and ancillary databases and database tools
- User tutorials
- Methodology and technical notes on database development
