You can now send your papers directly to GENETICS and G3 after preprint review at Review Commons.

Peer reviewers are vital to science, but early career scientists in our field rarely receive formal training in how to be a good reviewer. GSA and GENETICS are addressing this gap with a program that gives early career GSA members real-world peer review experience. Participants will receive online training and advice from GENETICS editors as…

The GSA team welcomes Jenna Daenzer, PhD, as the new Peer Review Coordinator! Jenna will be involved with GENETICS and G3: Genes|Genomes|Genetics, reviewing incoming manuscripts for quality and administering programs like the Peer Review Training Program.   Can you tell us a little bit about your background and your career trajectory?

Oxford University Press (OUP) and the Genetics Society of America (GSA) are pleased to announce that OUP will publish the GSA journals GENETICS and G3: Genes|Genomes|Genetics beginning January 2021. GENETICS is a peer-reviewed, peer-edited journal with an international reach and increasing visibility and impact. Since 1916, GENETICS has published high-quality, original research presenting novel findings…

An update on the pilot GENETICS Peer Review Training Program, which provides early career scientists with a mentored peer review experience in which they participate in authentic manuscript reviews. The second phase of the pilot program is currently accepting applicants. As a scientific society publisher, the GSA serves our community. That’s why we are so…

The GSA Journals are excited to announce that we have partnered with Figshare to archive supplemental material and data from papers published in GENETICS and G3: Genes|Genomes|Genetics. When you publish a paper in GENETICS or G3, you help to catalyze scientific advances by sharing experimental reagents, results, and interpretations. For these articles to have the…

Brooke LaFlamme found her career in scientific publishing through informational interviews. She recommends trainees interested in science communication fields start writing early and often. In the Decoding Life series, we talk to geneticists with diverse career paths, tracing the many directions possible after research training. This series is brought to you by the GSA Early…

GENETICS Editor-in-Chief Mark Johnston introduces a new peer review training program for early career scientists. “Just tell them what you think of them.” That was the response of one of my mentors when I asked him how I should review grant applications. I was a newly-minted Assistant Professor and had been asked to sit on an NIH study section. I…

Geneticists increasingly depend on highly specialized software and databases. Although it is vital to the field that these resources be well documented and their benefits widely disseminated, reports of new software and databases don’t always fit the mold of a typical research paper. The structure of a conventional research article forces authors to present their…

Transparent research starts with an unambiguous parts list. To help promote the wider use of identifiers and recognized symbols in biological research, FlyBase (with input from other model organism databases) is developing a resource for tracking and reporting reagents in a more standardized way, aiding curation into research databases. The GSA journals are now encouraging…
