Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the Associate Editor-in-Chief of the esteemed journal BioChem (ISSN 2673-6411), I am excited to announce the launch of an inaugural Special Issue entitled "Feature Papers in BioChem, 1st Edition". This Special Issue aims to showcase exceptional research in the diverse and interconnected fields of molecular biology, cell biology, structural biology, nucleic acid biology, chemical biology, synthetic biology, disease biology, biophysics, metallomics (or inorganic biochemistry), and theoretical biochemistry. As an international and interdisciplinary open access journal, BioChem is dedicated to providing a platform for the publication of high-quality reviews, research articles, communications, and letters that contribute to the advancement of scientific knowledge.
At BioChem, our primary objective is to encourage scientists to present their experimental and theoretical research in meticulous detail. We believe that the comprehensive reporting of research methodologies, results, and interpretations is crucial for advancing scientific research and enabling reproducibility. By emphasizing the importance of detailed reporting, we aim to foster a culture of transparency and open science within the scientific community.
To ensure the publication of exceptional research, all submitted papers will undergo a rigorous evaluation process. Our team of knowledgeable Editors will conduct an initial assessment to determine the suitability of submissions for the Special Issue. Following this, the selected papers will be subjected to a thorough and unbiased peer-review process, performed by experts in the respective fields. This rigorous peer-review process aims to maintain the highest standards of scientific integrity and ensure that only significant and impactful research is published in BioChem.
By launching this Special Issue, we endeavor to provide a platform for researchers to disseminate their groundbreaking discoveries and innovative methodologies. This Special Issue will serve as a catalyst for scientific collaboration and knowledge exchange among experts from various disciplines. It will enable scientists to stay updated on the latest advancements in biochemistry and related fields while also inspiring future investigations.
As an international open access journal, BioChem ensures that published research is freely accessible to a global audience. This accessibility facilitates widespread dissemination, allowing researchers, educators, students, and policymakers to benefit from the latest findings and advancements in biochemistry. Moreover, the journal's interdisciplinary nature promotes the cross-pollination of ideas and encourages the development of novel approaches and solutions to scientific challenges.
In conclusion, this Special Issue, entitled "Feature Papers in BioChem, 2nd Edition" represents an exciting opportunity for researchers to contribute to scientific literature in the fields of molecular biology, cell biology, structural biology, nucleic acid biology, chemical biology, synthetic biology, disease biology, biophysics, and theoretical biochemistry. By emphasizing comprehensive reporting and rigorous peer review, BioChem ensures the publication of impactful and high-quality research. We invite scientists from around the world to submit their work to this Special Issue and join us in advancing the field biochemistry and related disciplines.
