Non-Coding RNA Methods

Dear Colleagues,

Non-coding RNA is now accepting submissions for a Topical Collection on non-coding RNA methods. This Topical Collection is co guest-edited by Dr. Piero Carninci from the RIKEN Center for Life Science Technologies in Japan and Dr. Florent Hubé; from the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) in Paris. Accepted papers are published online immediately after copy editing. 

ncRNA is a rapidly growing field in which new research methods are continuously appearing. With this Topical Collection, we aim to collect a selection of articles on newly developed techniques of special interest for researchers in the ncRNA field.

We will consider manuscripts that report on new experimental and computational methods, as well as reviews of exceptional interest that focus on newly developed techniques for ncRNA research that include:

• ncRNA analysis programs

• ncRNA chromatography methods

• ncRNA structure analysis

• ncRNA function analysis

• ncRNA by high-throughput screening

• ncRNA database/annotation

• ncRNA imaging

• methods to detect the interactome of RNA (with proteins, with chromatin, etc.)

Collection Editors

Please use the online submission system and indicate in your cover letter that you would like to have your manuscript considered for the Topical Collection "Non Coding RNA methods". If you would like to enquire about the suitability of your article for this Topical Collection, please email your pre-submission enquiry to Dr. Piero Carninci  (carninci@riken.jp) or to Dr. Florent Hubé (florent.hube@univ-paris-diderot.fr) with the ncRNA Editorial Office (ncRNA@mdpi.com) in copy.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Non-Coding RNA is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 1800 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.
