BBA Clinical

ISSN: 2214-6474

BBA Clinical is an open access biomedical journal dedicated to human research. It brings together clinical and biochemical human studies, providing a new venue for researchers using observational studies and clinical trials to understand the molecular and biochemical processes involved in human disease. All articles in BBA Clinical should describe, in part or entirely, studies using human patient samples or human cohorts. Manuscripts should emphasize the implications that biochemical mechanisms have for the observed clinical findings, and focus on describing how the data contribute to understanding and treatment of the clinical condition. Highly descriptive and method-development submissions may be declined without review. Clinical areas of particular interest include aging, cancer, cardiovascular-, metabolic-, neurological-, and immunological-based diseases; the interactions that may occur among these diseases and conditions; and studies that examine early or pre-symptomatic states. Cross-sectional and prospective studies from well-established cohorts, and studies involving imaging methodologies, are particularly encouraged. Invited reviews and editorials, focused on cutting-edge aspects of clinical research, will appear on a regular basis to complement regular research articles. Unsolicited review articles will be considered only in exceptional cases, and should be preceded by a letter of enquiry from the author, outlining the proposed review and compelling reasons why the subject is timely and important. BBA Clinical is the clinical complement to BBA Molecular Basis of Disease, which focuses on the molecular and biochemical basis of such conditions in pre-clinical studies, such as cell culture and animal models.

Biochemical Systematics and Ecology

ISSN: 0305-1978
5 Year impact factor: 1.5
Impact factor: 1.6

Biochemical Systematics and Ecology is devoted to the publication of original papers and reviews, both submitted and invited, in two subject areas: I) the application of biochemistry to problems relating to systematic biology of organisms (biochemical systematics); II) the role of biochemistry in interactions between organisms or between an organism and its environment (biochemical ecology). In the Biochemical Systematics subject area, comparative studies of the distribution of (secondary) metabolites within a wider taxon (e.g. genus or family) are welcome. Comparative studies, encompassing multiple accessions of each of the taxa within their distribution are particularly encouraged. Welcome are also studies combining classical chemosystematic studies (such as comparative HPLC-MS or GC-MS investigations) with (macro-) molecular phylogenetic studies. Studies that involve the comparative use of compounds to help differentiate among species such as adulterants or substitutes that illustrate the applied use of chemosystematics are welcome. In contrast, studies solely employing macromolecular phylogenetic techniques (gene sequences, RAPD studies etc.) will be considered out of scope. Discouraged are manuscripts that report known or new compounds from a single source taxon without addressing a systematic hypothesis. Also considered out of scope are studies using outdated and hard to reproduce macromolecular techniques such as RAPDs in combination with standard chemosystematic techniques such as GC-FID and GC-MS. In the Biochemical Ecology subject area, studies addressing the role compounds play in the ecology of the organisms producing them are invited. Moreover, manuscripts that address hypothesis associated with the influence of factors such as altitude, geography, and seasonal variation on the expression of primary and secondary metabolites are encouraged. Research papers should generally represent a complete investigation and not preliminary data. Preliminary reports will only be considered where findings are of sufficient interest to justify rapid publication. New Source Reports will only be considered in cases where a significant chemosystematic or ecological finding is reported. New Source Reports have to be written in a standard format (Example).

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications

ISSN: 0006-291X
5 Year impact factor: 3.2
Impact factor: 3.1

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications (BBRC) is the premier international journal devoted to the very rapid dissemination of timely and significant experimental results in diverse fields of biological research. For short communication papers, we offer the fastest submission to acceptance of any journal within life sciences, with "accept" decisions rendered within three weeks of submission. We will now consider full-length research papers and review articles. The journal covers most of areas of life science, and is divided into the following sections: Biochemistry Biophysics Cell Biology Cellular Pathology and Cancer Computational Biology and Bioinformatics Genetics Immunology and Inflammation Microbiology and Virology Nanomedicine and Bionanomaterials Neuroscience Pharmacology Physiology Plant Biology Structural Biology Please see our Guide for Authors for information on article submission. If you require any further information or help, please visit our Support Center. Announcement: BBRC has traditionally only published short communications of novel results. From 2023, the journal now publishes short communications, full-length research papers, and reviews. What type of paper should I choose on submission? For short communications, we will still aim to make an accept or reject decision within two weeks of submission. If you have novel results that you can consolidate into 4,600 words, with no more than four figures, then you may continue to choose the short communication route. Short communications should be concise, no more than 4,600 words and up to four display items. They should offer novel insights and warrant a rapid peer review process. The 4,600 word count includes the title page, all sections of the manuscript (including the references), and the figure and table legends. Papers that exceed these limits will be reassigned within the submission system as a full-length research paper. If you submit a full-length research paper or a review paper, we will continue to offer a fast turnaround (with a decision after review within 30 days of submission), and we'll also make sure that any revisions that we request of you will not require significant resource expenditure on your part. Full-length research papers should present a comprehensive account of original research. These papers are not restricted by length or number of figures. Review papers should be authoritative, state-of-the-art accounts of the selected research field and be of high interest, balanced, and accurate. Beyond summaries of important scientific developments and ideas, authors are encouraged to identify and discuss how the field may be impacted or develop in the future, including insights that may be of significance to the scientific community. The number of co-authors of review articles is limited to five, and each author is expected to make a substantial contribution to the writing of the manuscript. There are no restrictions on length for review papers, and we welcome both comprehensive reviews and short reviews that offer an insight into more recent advances in a field.
