Genes, Brain and Behavior (also known as G2B) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering the fields of behavioral, neural, and psychiatric genetics that was established in 2002.

Contents

[edit] Publication history

Genes, Brain and Behavior is published by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of the International Behavioural and Neural Genetics Society.[1] Volume 1 appeared in 2002 and issues appeared quarterly; as submissions increased, the journal switched in 2003 to a bimonthly and then in 2006 to an 8-times-a-year schedule.[2] Content is available online from the Wiley Online Library[2] or, after a 12 month embargo, from EBSCOhost.[3] Authors can elect to have accepted articles published as open access.[4] All content is available online for free after 24 months.[5] The journal developed standards for the publication of mouse mutant studies,[6] which are gradually being accepted more widely in the field.[7][8]

The founding editor-in-chief was Wim Crusio (French National Centre for Scientific Research), who was succeeded in 2012 by Andrew Holmes (National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism).[9]
