Request a sales quoteGeneral The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is devoted to experimental and theoretical developments in areas related to steroids, sterols, hopanoids, vitamin D and lipids. JSBMB is interested in functional analyses of signal transduction pathways, impact on molecular phenotypes and clinical outcome, and metabolomics of these molecules. Our journal publishes a variety of contributions, including:
Original research articles
General and focused reviews
Mini-reviews (addressing controversial or hot contemporary topics)
Rapid communications (brief articles of particular interest and clear novelty).
Selected cutting-edge topics are addressed in Special Issues managed by Guest Editors. Special Issues contain both commissioned reviews and original research papers to provide comprehensive coverage of specific topics. Regardless of the type of submission, all submissions undergo rigorous peer-review prior to publication.
Scope
Manuscripts related to unsolved issues in genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, structural biology, steroid chemistry, cell biology, evolution, comparative endocrinology, molecular medicine, translational research and clinical medicine, and systems biology “omics” are encouraged.
Specific aims
Enhancement of our understanding, and the development of approaches to study the interplay between the environment, genomes, metabolism and disease
Studies on signal transduction pathways, functional annotation of genes and kinetics of metabolic pathways
Analyses of mechanisms underlying homeostasis in aging, health and disease
Effects of ethnicity on signal transduction pathways and reference values
Studies on steroids, molecular endocrinology and metabolism in transgender individuals
Investigations on target and off-target effects for therapies or drugs (including doping and anabolic steroids)
Provision of new analysis tools, synthesis and analysis methods, and reference data
Creation of enduring and validated resources for metabolomics and systems biology analyses
Exclusion criteria for manuscripts
We do not accept data that have been as a whole, or in part, published elsewhere (does not apply to data that has been deposited in a data repository or documents that have been posted on a preprint server)
We do not accept case descriptions or clinical descriptions of cohorts without analyses of mechanisms leading to changed phenotypes
We do not accept observations collected by experiments in a single cell line, single sample of organism, reagents or tools that are not validated (e.g. antibodies that are not characterized, origin and identity of cells that are not depicted, analytical methods not characterised for LOD, precision and accuracy)
We do not accept data based on technical replicates rather than biological replicates, or the use of inappropriate statistical analyses
We do not accept GWAS without functional analyses explaining associations or at least a functional discussions on correlations
