During the last three months I have been working as a trainee at the Molecular Systems Biology journal. My contract is know finished I thought I would post about my short experience in publishing for anyone possibly interested is testing this career path. To avoid any misuse, what I am writing is solely my opinion and does not reflect any position of the journal I worked for.My main motivation to try this out was my interest in science publishing and the scientific process in general.
We are at a particular interesting stage of transition from publishing on paper to publishing on the web and most publishers are trying to find ways to best cope with the change.
So what goes on in a journal ?
