Discover Genetics and Evolution (formerly Current Genetics) is a fully open access, peer-reviewed journal that supports multidisciplinary research across all fields relevant to genetics and evolution.
The journal aims to be a resource for researchers, policy makers and the general public for recent advances in genetics and evolution 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 Life Below Water; Life on Land; Good Health and Wellbeing; and Zero Hunger.
Discover Green Chemistry is an open access journal publishing research on all aspects of chemistry and chemicals related to sustainable practices and reducing the use of hazardous products. The journal covers all stages of the lifecycle from design to application and disposal.

The origin and early evolution of life is an inseparable part of the discipline of Astrobiology. The journal Origins of Life and Evolution of Biospheres places special importance on this interconnection. While any scientific study which contributes to our understanding of the origins, evolution and distribution of life in the Universe is suitable for inclusion in the journal, some examples of important areas of interest are: prebiotic chemistry and the nature of Earth's early environment, self-replicating and self-organizing systems, the theory of the RNA world and of other possible precursor systems, and the problem of the origin of the genetic code. Early evolution of life - as revealed by elucidation of biochemical pathways, molecular phylogeny, the study of Precambrian sediments and fossils and of major innovations in microbial evolution - forms a second focus. The journal presents experimental papers, theoretical articles and authoritative literature reviews.
