Journal Guide

Exploring the molecular mechanisms that underpin key biological processes, the Biochemical Journal is a leading bioscience journal publishing high-impact scientific research papers and reviews on the latest advances and new mechanistic concepts in the fields of biochemistry, cellular biosciences and molecular biology.

Biochemical Society Transactions is the reviews journal of the Biochemical Society. Publishing concise reviews written by experts in the field, providing a timely snapshot of the latest developments across all areas of the molecular and cellular biosciences.
Elevating our authors’ ideas and expertise, each review includes a perspectives section where authors offer comment on the latest advances, a glimpse of future challenges and highlighting the importance of associated research areas in far broader contexts.

Bioscience Reports provides a home for sound scientific research in all areas of cell biology and molecular life sciences.

We welcome papers that span disciplines, including papers that focus on the following:

The physical properties and structure of basic molecules that make up living organisms
Pathways, chains of reactions and interactions between molecules in living processes
Genetic processes
Biological networks
The components, processes, and interactions of cells
Developmental and evolutionary processes in cells
Organisms
Physiological systems and clinical/medical science
Technology

Translating molecular bioscience and experimental research into medical insights, Clinical Science offers comprehensive studies using a multi-disciplinary approach including models of human disease and clinical perspectives to advance human health.

Its international Editorial Board is charged with selecting peer-reviewed original papers of the highest scientific merit covering the broad spectrum of biomedical specialities including, although not exclusively:

Cardiovascular system
Cerebrovascular system
Gastrointestinal tract and liver
Genomic medicine
Infection and immunity
Inflammation
Oncology
Metabolism
Endocrinology and nutrition
Nephrology
Circulation
Respiratory system
Vascular biology
Molecular pathology

Reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of life science research, Emerging Topics in Life Sciences is a journal jointly-owned by the Royal Society of Biology and the Biochemical Society specializing in publishing themed issues on emerging topics.

From students and early-career researchers to established scientists, the reader will be kept up-to-date with recent advances, leading perspectives and emerging trends across the life sciences. Areas covered in the journal include, but are not limited to: cell and molecular biology, organismal biology, biochemistry, biophysics, biotechnology, clinical and medical sciences, plant science, veterinary sciences, ecology, and environmental sciences.

Written for an interdisciplinary audience, each issue focusses on a new, or growing, key topic and is guest edited by an expert in that field.

Essays in Biochemistry publishes short, digestible reviews from experts highlighting recent key topics in biochemistry and the molecular biosciences. Written to be accessible for those not yet immersed in the subject, each article is an up-to-date, self-contained summary of the topic.
Bridging the gap between the latest research and established textbooks, Essays in Biochemistry will tell you what you need to know to begin exploring the field, as each article includes the top take-home messages as summary points.

The mission of Neuronal Signaling is to provide an interdisciplinary home for neuroscience covering all aspects of in vitro and in vivo signaling from cell to brain in health and disease. Relevant topics range from signaling pathways involved in nervous system development and normal physiology through to neurodegenerative, neurological and psychiatric disorders and other pathologies.
The Journal covers a number of areas of neuroscience, including (but not limited to):

Addiction, affective disorders and depression, aging, cellular and molecular mechanisms of behaviour, cognition, epilepsy, gene therapy, learning and memory, neurodegeneration, neuroendocrinology, neurogenesis, neuroimmunology, neurooncology, neuropharmacology and therapeutics, neurotoxicity, pain and analgesia, psychiatric disorders, stress and fear, stroke and cerebrovascular disease, technical developments and methodologies in neuroscience research.
