Carbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications is an open access scholarly journal devoted to scientific and technological aspects and applications of polymers and oligomers containing carbohydrate. Carbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications is a companion journal to Carbohydrate Polymers with a broader and more inclusive reach to cater for the increased spread of research interests. Carbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications covers all polymers and oligomers containing carbohydrate, including carbohydrate polymers, cyclodextrins, glycoproteins, glycolipids, dendrimers containing carbohydrate, glycopeptide linkages, glycoproteins, lipopolysaccharides, peptidoglycans and proteoglycans. We also welcome papers that include carbohydrate-directed enzymes where they are working on or applied to macromolecular carbohydrate substrates. To be acceptable for publications papers must focus majorly, but not exclusively upon the carbohydrate polymer of the molecule under consideration. From the molecular point of view, characteristics of the carbohydrate-containing molecule will be paramount covering analysis, molecular weight, structure, physicochemical aspects. Enzymic biodegradation and biosynthesis of carbohydrate-containing molecules will also be covered. Papers on the technology of creating new carbohydrate-containing molecules will be of major interest. From the applications point of view, coverage will be broad including the wholescale use of the above-mentioned types of carbohydrate in archaeology, botany, chemical engineering, chemical industry, farming, genetic engineering, healthcare, materials science and medicine. All papers will have in their title and abstract the name of at least one carbohydrate-containing molecule on which the paper is majorly focussed. That carbohydrate content must include at least two monosaccharide units, and therefore the scope of the journal will include neither free monosaccharides nor monomeric-carbohydrate molecules such as simple glycosides.

A Journal Devoted to Scientific and Technological Aspects of Industrially Relevant Polysaccharides Carbohydrate Polymers is a major journal within the field of glycoscience, and covers the study and exploitation of polysaccharides which have current or potential application in areas such as bioenergy, bioplastics, biomaterials, biorefining, chemistry, drug delivery, food, health, nanotechnology, packaging, paper, pharmaceuticals, medicine, oil recovery, textiles, tissue engineering and wood, and other aspects of glycoscience. The role of the well-characterized carbohydrate polymer must be the major proportion of the work reported, not a peripheral topic. At least one named carbohydrate polymer must be cited and be the main focus of the paper and its title. Research must be innovative and advance scientific knowledge. Characterization - For all polysaccharides, including those obtained from a supplier, essential structural information which will affect their behavior in the subsequent work should be given, along with a description of how that information was ascertained. Examples of such essential information include molecular weight, mannuronate/guluronate ratio for alginates, degree of esterification for pectin, degree of deacetylation for chitosan. Editors are unlikely to send papers for formal review with a statement such as "sodium alginate was purchased from XXX Inc." unless additional information is supplied. For papers involving synthesis, polysaccharide derivatives must also be well-characterized. For papers describing identity or application of newly-discovered polysaccharides, purity and monosaccharide composition are essential; some molecular size and linkage information is highly desirable. Hypotheses - Nearly all scientific papers benefit from inclusion of a statement of hypothesis. Such statements should be concise, declarative, and should describe the one or more key hypotheses that the studies upon which the manuscript is based were intended to confirm or refute. Inclusion of a hypothesis statement makes it simple to contrast the hypothesis with the most relevant previous literature and point out what the authors feel is distinct about the current hypothesis (novelty). It also permits the authors to describe why they feel it would be important to prove the hypothesis correct (significance). Topics of interest to the journal: • structure-property relationships • analytical methods • chemical, enzymatic and physical modifications • biosynthesis • natural functions • interactions with other materials Topics not of interest to the journal: • Bibliometric reviews • biological, physiological and pharmacological aspects of non-carbohydrate molecules attached to, or mixed with, carbohydrate polymers, unless the polysaccharide has a relevant and specific role • materials science of biocomposites where there is no mention of any specific carbohydrate polymer, or the role of the carbohydrate polymer is not the major proportion of the study • polyalkanoates, polylactic acid, or lignin • routine studies of extraction yields without characterisation of the extracted polysaccharide under the different conditions • routine studies of complexation of a drug with a single cyclodextrin • studies of newly discovered natural polysaccharides or new polysaccharide derivatives where the structure of the polysaccharide (derivative) is unknown • production and isolation of enzymes which act on polysaccharides (studies on the mode of action of an enzyme on a polysaccharide are within the journal scope) • carbohydrate oligomers where the degree of polymerization is less than four • treatments of cotton fabrics and cellulose-based paper where the research is largely not about the component cellulose itself • use of carbohydrate polymers as a support material (e.g. in enzyme immobilization, chromatography, etc.) where there is no specific involvement of the chemistry of the carbohydrate polymer • production of chars from polysaccharides, regardless of the application to which the char will be used. Such manuscripts are out of scope since they do not focus on the science of well-characterized polysaccharides Carbohydrate Polymers has an open access companion journal, Carbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications, which is devoted to scientific and technological aspects and applications of polymers and oligomers containing carbohydrate.

Cells & Development

ISSN: 2667-2901
5 Year impact factor: 3.9
Impact factor: 3.9

Cell and Developmental Biology and their Quantitative approachesThe Official Journal of The International Society of Developmental Biologists Cells & Development is an international journal covering the areas of cell biology and developmental biology. In addition to publishing work at the interphase of these two disciplines, we also publish work that is purely cell biology as well as classical developmental biology. C&D is the official journal of The International Society of Developmental Biologists (ISDB) which supports the world-wide community of developmental biologists. Cells & Development will consider papers in any area of cell biology or developmental biology, in any model system like animals and plants, using a variety of approaches, such as cellular, biomechanical, molecular, quantitative, computational and theoretical biology. Areas of particular interest include: Cell and tissue morphogenesis Cell adhesion and migration Cell shape and polarity Biomechanics Theoretical modelling of cell and developmental biology Quantitative biology Stem cell biology Cell differentiation Cell proliferation and cell death Evo-Devo Membrane traffic Metabolic regulation Organ and organoid development Regeneration Publications at the interface of physics and biology often include theoretical work which is summarised in a short form in a Supplementary Text or Supplementary Theory. Authors may want to further describe, extend and give higher visibility to the theoretical work that they have published in this way. We are therefore pleased to announce that Cells & Development will now consider submissions of extended and more detailed versions of Supplementary Theory material published in other biological or generalist journals. To be considered, these articles must introduce significant additional material and discussion of previously published results. They must explicitly refer to the article where the Supplementary Theory text was originally published. Reproduction of the previously published figures or text materials should be minimal and appropriately referenced, in accordance with copyright requirements of the other journal. With this initiative, Cells & Development is aiming at promoting quantitative approaches to biology by giving the opportunity to theorists to better explain and highlight their contribution to multidisciplinary studies. Cells & Development does not publish descriptive studies of gene expression patterns and molecular screens; for submission of such studies see Gene Expression Patterns.
