To celebrate Open Biology's 10th anniversary, we look back on the journal's milestones and achievements.

Launched in 2011 as Royal Society Publishing’s first wholly open access journal, Open Biology turns 10 this year. To celebrate this special occasion, we are reflecting on milestone achievements and highlight some of the most influential research that the journal has published during this time.
