Biosensors and Bioelectronics

ISSN: 0956-5663
5 Year impact factor: 10.8
Impact factor: 12.6

Biosensors & Bioelectronics has an open access companion journal Biosensors &Bioelectronics: X. To submit to Biosensors & Bioelectronics: X visit https://www.editorialmanager.com/BIOSX/default.aspx. Biosensors are defined as analytical devices incorporating a biological material, a biologically derived material or a biomimic intimately associated with or integrated within a physicochemical transducer or transducing microsystem, which may be optical, electrochemical, thermometric, piezoelectric, magnetic or micromechanical (Turner et al., 1987; Turner, 1989). Biosensors & Bioelectronics is the principal international journal devoted to research, design, development and application of biosensors and bioelectronics. It is an interdisciplinary journal serving professionals with an interest in the exploitation of biological materials and designs in novel diagnostic and electronic devices including sensors, DNA chips, electronic noses, lab-on-a-chip and μ-TAS. Biosensors usually yield a digital electronic signal which is proportional to the concentration of a specific analyte or group of analytes. While the signal may in principle be continuous, devices can be configured to yield single measurements to meet specific market requirements. Examples of Biosensors include immunosensors, enzyme-based biosensors, organism- and whole cell-based biosensors. They have been applied to a wide variety of analytical problems including uses in medicine, biomedical research, drug discovery, the environment, food, process industries, security and defence. The design and study of molecular and supramolecular structures with molecular biorecognition and biomimetic properties for use in analytical devices is also included within the scope of the journal. Here the focus is on the complementary intersection between molecular recognition, nanotechnology, molecular imprinting and supramolecular chemistry to improve the analytical performance and robustness of devices. The emerging field of Bioelectronics seeks to exploit biology in conjunction with electronics in a wider context encompassing, for example, biological fuel cells, bionics and biomaterials for information processing, information storage, electronic components and actuators. A key aspect is the interface between biological materials and micro- and nano-electronics. While endeavouring to maintain coherence in the scope of the journal, the editors will accept reviews and papers of obvious relevance to the community, which describe important new concepts, underpin understanding of the field or provide important insights into the practical application, manufacture and commercialisation of biosensors and bioelectronics.

Carbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications

ISSN: 2666-8939
5 Year impact factor: 5.5
Impact factor: 5.5

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.

Carbohydrate Polymers

ISSN: 0144-8617
5 Year impact factor: 10.2
Impact factor: 11.2

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.

Carbohydrate Research

ISSN: 0008-6215
5 Year impact factor: 2.5
Impact factor: 3.1

An International Journal of Molecular Glycoscience Carbohydrate Research publishes reports of original research in the following areas of carbohydrate science: action of enzymes, analytical chemistry, biochemistry (biosynthesis, degradation, structural and functional biochemistry, conformation, molecular recognition, enzyme mechanisms, carbohydrate-processing enzymes, including glycosidases and glycosyltransferases), chemical synthesis, isolation of natural products, physicochemical studies, reactions and their mechanisms, the study of structures and stereochemistry, and technological aspects. Papers on polysaccharides should have a "molecular" component; that is a paper on new or modified polysaccharides should include structural information and characterization in addition to the usual studies of rheological properties and the like. A paper on a new, naturally occurring polysaccharide should include structural information, defining monosaccharide components and linkage sequence. Papers devoted wholly or partly to X-ray crystallographic studies, or to computational aspects (molecular mechanics or molecular orbital calculations, simulations via molecular dynamics), will be considered if they meet certain criteria. For computational papers the requirements are that the methods used be specified in sufficient detail to permit replication of the results, and that the conclusions be shown to have relevance to experimental observations - the authors' own data or data from the literature. Specific directions for the presentation of X-ray data are given below under Results and "discussion".
