Hello Bio people,

Could I ask a quick question...

Physics has the Phys. Rev. series, is there an equivalent in Biology?
 
Biology news on Phys.org
Nature is great.

Yes it is :smile:

...but Nature and Science are a bit special - not your everyday journals like PRX.
 
shoot what's the online site medlibrary?
can't remember. But like arxiv there is one online.
As for actual journals, i don't think there is just one i think there are tons. Granted most that i had to look in were neuroscience(and psychology) ones.

It really depends on what discipline of biology you are interested in. Nature and Science are great, and cover some very interesting research, but they are quite multi-disciplinary.
For example, for all things pharmacology the British Journal of Pharmacology (pubslihed by Nature group) is very good. For all things regarding the extracellular matrix Matrix Biology is very good. And so on.

If your interests include anthropology the American Anthropological Association makes a great read
