This competition is organised by The Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge. Biology Letters has been a home for quality research since 2005. In that time, they cultivated great relationships with scientists worldwide and at different stages in their careers. This is especially true for early career researchers (ECR) who may be starting to submit their studies for publication for the first time. With this in mind, they launched the inaugural Biology Letters Early Career Researcher Competition in 2022 to highlight the best research papers published in the journal by ECRs.
