Announcement We are pleased to announce that Origins of Life and Evolution of Biospheres became fully open access (OA) on 1 January 2024 and moved into our Discover series as Discover Life. As a result, all submissions are subject to an article publication charge (APC) if accepted (unless a waiver is applied) and will be published in Discover Life. Please see our FAQs journal update for more information on APCs, funding options, and waivers. Discover Life is a fully open access, peer-reviewed journal that supports multidisciplinary research and policy developments across all fields relevant to life science. The journal aims to be a resource for researchers, policy makers and the general public for recent advances in life science, and its uses in research development and society. As a fully open access journal, we ensure that our research is highly discoverable and instantly available globally to everyone. The journal particularly welcomes work that aims to address the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, especially, Good Health and Well-Being; Life below Water, Life on Land. Topics Topics welcomed at Discover Life include but are not limited to the following: Biodiversity, taxonomy, and evolutionary biology Species discovery, classification, phylogenetics, systematics, natural selection, adaptation, speciation, evolutionary theory, paleobiology, genetic drift.
