EDITORIAL: "Discoveries: an innovative platform for publishing cutting-edge research discoveries in biology, medicine, and chemistry", Discoveries 2013, Oct-Dec; 1(1): e1. DOI: 10.15190/d.2013.1 (pdf)
Discoveries and Discoveries Reports bring to the research community an OUTSTANDING Editorial Board and are committed to use several important INNOVATIONS: manuscripts can be submitted in any format (only accepted manuscripts will be modified to respect our standards and requirements), we have a fast submission process, there is no need for a cover letter and we introduced rules for validation of critical reagents such as antibodies. We are also aiming to avoid requesting unnecessary experiments during the review process (such as the ones representing a new phase of the project or that do not change the conclusions of the article), without affecting the quality of published manuscripts.
We are offering a FREE and FAST submission process (in only 1 minute) for

- February 2016 | Manuscript submission
Discoveries is commited to excellence, quality and high editorial standards. We are receiving an increasing number of manuscripts for which the identity of the authors/corresponding author can't be verified. Please NOTE that ALL these articles were and will be immediately REJECTED. Indicating an institutional email address is the easiest way to overcome this problem! Moreover, we do not accept any pressure on our editorial board to accept a manuscript. This results in a prompt rejection of the article.
