Journal Description

Worm is now an Online-Only Journal

Beginning in 2013 with Volume 2, Worm will transition to an online-only journal. The online-only format reduces the time between manuscript acceptance and final posting of the article PDF, as well as the time the article takes to be indexed on PubMed Central. For more information about the change to electronic publication, please contact the managing editor.

Worm is a new international peer-reviewed journal publishing original research involving 'worm' model organisms, in particular C. elegans. Worm publishes brief reports and longer research articles, technical and methodological advances and review articles covering all areas of research from development to evolution, from genetics to systems biology, from metabolism to neurobiology and from molecular biology to genomics.
