Feature Papers in BioChem

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 titled “Feature Papers in BioChem, 1st Edition”. This Special Issue aims at showcasing 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 publishing 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 understanding and enabling reproducibility. By emphasizing the importance of detailed reporting, we aim at fostering 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 the submissions for the Special Issue. Following this, the selected papers will be subjected to a thorough and unbiased peer review by experts in the respective fields. This rigorous peer review process aims at maintaining the highest standards of scientific integrity and ensuring that only significant and impactful research is published in BioChem.

By launching the “Feature Papers in BioChem, 1st Edition” 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, the “Feature Papers in BioChem, 1st Edition” Special Issue represents an exciting opportunity for researchers to contribute to the 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 frontiers of biochemistry and related disciplines.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. BioChem is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
