Structure

ISSN: 0969-2126
5 Year impact factor: 5.1
Impact factor: 5.7

Form and function in modern biology Structure aims to publish papers of exceptional interest in the field of structural biology. The journal strives to be essential reading for structural biologists, as well as biologists and biochemists that are interested in macromolecular structure and function. Structure strongly encourages the submission of manuscripts that present structural and molecular insights into biological function and mechanism. Other reports that address fundamental questions in structural biology, such as structure-based examinations of protein evolution, folding, and/or design, will also be considered. We will consider the application of any method, experimental or computational, at high or low resolution, to conduct structural investigations, as long as the method is appropriate for the biological, functional, and mechanistic question(s) being addressed. Likewise, reports describing single-molecule analysis of biological mechanisms are welcome. In general, the editors encourage submission of experimental structural studies that are enriched by an analysis of structure-activity relationships and will not consider studies that solely report structural information unless the structure or analysis is of exceptional and broad interest. Studies reporting only homology models, de novo models, or molecular dynamics simulations are also discouraged unless the models are informed by or validated by novel experimental data; rationalization of a large body of existing experimental evidence and making testable predictions based on a model or simulation is often not considered sufficient.

Talanta

ISSN: 0039-9140
5 Year impact factor: 5.4
Impact factor: 6.1

The International Journal of Pure and Applied Analytical Chemistry Talanta provides a forum for the publication of original research papers, short communications, and critical reviews in all branches of pure and applied analytical chemistry. Papers are evaluated based on established guidelines, including the fundamental nature of the study, scientific novelty, substantial improvement or advantage over existing technology or methods, and demonstrated analytical applicability. Original research papers on fundamental studies, and on novel sensor and instrumentation developments, are encouraged. Novel or improved applications in areas such as clinical and biological chemistry, environmental analysis, geochemistry, materials science and engineering, and analytical platforms for omics development are welcome. Analytical performance of methods should be determined, including interference and matrix effects, and methods should be validated by comparison with a standard method, or analysis of a certified reference material. Simple spiking recoveries may not be sufficient. The developed method should especially comprise information on selectivity, sensitivity, detection limits, accuracy, and reliability. However, applying official validation or robustness studies to a routine method or technique does not necessarily constitute novelty. Proper statistical treatment of the data should be provided. Relevant literature should be cited, including related publications by the authors, and authors should discuss how their proposed methodology compares with previously reported methods.Talanta is the companion title to the open access journal Talanta Open. The name Talanta derives from the Greek word ταλαντα, used by Homer to mean a pair of scales. Such a balance was used for measuring talents or gold coins. See Talanta, 35(5)(1988)I-V for details. The symbol for the journal is a Greek balance taken from one of the Hope Vases.

5 Year impact factor: 11.8
Impact factor: 9.8

AJHG provides a record of research and review relating to heredity in humans and to the application of genetic principles in medicine and public policy, as well as in related areas of molecular and cell biology. Topics explored by AJHG include behavioral genetics, biochemical genetics, clinical genetics, cytogenetics, dysmorphology, gene therapy, genetic counseling, genetic epidemiology, genomics, immunogenetics, molecular genetics, neurogenetics, and population genetics. AJHG welcomes submissions of articles and reports on timely subjects concerning all aspects of human genetics, including studies of model organisms that are of direct relevance to human genetics. Manuscripts should be written in a manner accessible to investigators representing diverse backgrounds in human genetics. Descriptions of new statistical methods of general interest to the genetics community are welcome. New methods should be compared to existing methods with the use of real data and/or simulations with parameters (e.g., haplotype frequencies, effect sizes) that are based on a real data example (e.g., marker or haplotype data from the HapMap project). All novel computer programs must be made publicly available by the time that the manuscript is published, and a URL for the website must be included in the Web Resources section of the manuscript. Letters commenting on material previously published in AJHG are also welcome. AJHG does not publish reports of either single mutations or mutational surveys of previously identified loci unless they have unusual significance and substantial insight. Descriptions of new linkage assignments will be considered only if they are of special interest. Reports of negative data will not normally be considered.

The Journal of Nutrition

ISSN: 0022-3166
5 Year impact factor: 4.7
Impact factor: 4.2

The Journal of Nutrition is the premier journal in its field and publishes peer-reviewed original research papers covering all aspects of experimental nutrition in humans and other animal species; special articles such as reviews and biographies of prominent nutrition scientists; and issues, opinions, and commentaries on controversial issues in nutrition. The Journal of Nutrition is an official monthly publication of the American Society for Nutrition (ASN) and focuses on the review of manuscripts that address human, animal, population, cellular, and molecular nutrition. JN is especially interested in publishing manuscripts that advance the understanding of nutritional mechanisms in human populations, in animals, in relevant model organisms, in appropriate primary cells or cell culture models, and/or at the molecular level. Manuscripts addressing interactions of nutrition with genetics, physiological regulation, health outcomes, and behavioral outcomes are generally well suited for review by The Journal of Nutrition. Types of Manuscripts Original Research Articles, Reviews, Perspectives, Supplements and Symposia, Letters to the Editor, and Corrections are shared article types across ASN's Journals Portfolio, and are described here. Article Types unique to JN are described below. Recommendations for article length can be found here. Most reviews published in JN will be part of a series entitled "Recent Advances in Nutritional Sciences (RANS)." These reviews will be published in a five-page format and provide a recent rather than historical review of the subject matter. These reviews are published to provide current information relative to the wide range of research topics of interest to the readers of JN and to serve as a useful resource for instructors of advanced nutrition courses. Authors are encouraged to cover the general background and history of the research area in a limited amount of space and to update the reader by citing good previously published comprehensive reviews. The majority of the text should deal with recent (last few years) information. More comprehensive reviews and commentaries are published as "Critical Reviews." Critical Reviews are meant to address and discuss published literature. They are not meant for presentation of new systematic reviews or an extensive analysis or reanalysis of data. JN will review suitable systematic reviews as regular research papers. Critical Reviews may be invited by the Editor-in-Chief or initiated by authors. For author-initiated reviews, it is strongly advised that an outline of the proposed review be submitted to the Editor-in-Chief prior to writing so that suitability for JN and the scope of the review can be determined before submission.
