First article has appeared

[edit]

In September 2011 this journal began publication, though with only a single article explaining its mission. A Google Scholar search for "open biology" "royal society" finds the one article which the journal has so far published as well as two external references:

That first aeticle isn't exactly an article in the usual sense, just an editorial statement of purpose. But my own opinion remains that a journal from the RS is notable the day it's announced--is notable even if it ends up not being published, I'll check again to see if there are some more 3rd party refs yet, to satisfy those who think they are essential. I think we can go by the overwhelming probability of notability -- it's not like a BLP of an accused person who stands only a chance of being convicted.

We now have 14 articles online, so I would hope this is sufficient evidence of serious intent. It would be helpful to have some guidance as to what else we need to add to the entry in terms of "inline citations" and to what type of sources. Also, I am not sure why this happened: "File:Open biology.jpg Nominated for Deletion" Can anyone enlighten? Thanks PointOfPresence (talk) 09:10, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
