Journal of Biological Chemistry

Journal of Biological Chemistry is a weekly peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. The journal was established in 1905 by John Jacob Abel and Christian Archibald Herter, and it has since become one of the most prestigious journals in the field of biochemistry, with a strong focus on molecular biology, cell biology, and genetics. The journal is known for publishing high-impact research articles, review articles, and commentaries from leading scientists, including David Baltimore, Michael S. Brown, and Joseph L. Goldstein. Many notable scientists, such as James Watson, Francis Crick, and Rosalind Franklin, have published their work in the journal, which is also closely associated with the National Institutes of Health and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.

● History

The journal has a rich history, dating back to 1905, when it was founded by John Jacob Abel and Christian Archibald Herter. The first issue was published in October of that year, and it quickly gained recognition as a leading journal in the field of biochemistry. Over the years, the journal has been edited by many prominent scientists, including Vince Guccione, Herbert Tabor, and Don Cleveland. The journal has also been at the forefront of many major scientific discoveries, including the discovery of DNA structure by James Watson and Francis Crick, and the development of molecular cloning by Herbert Boyer and Stanley Cohen. The journal has also published work by many Nobel laureates, including Linus Pauling, Erwin Chargaff, and Marshall Nirenberg.

● Scope

The journal publishes original research articles, review articles, and commentaries on all aspects of biochemistry, including molecular biology, cell biology, genetics, and structural biology. The journal also publishes articles on the biochemistry of disease, including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and infectious diseases. Many leading researchers, such as Eric Kandel, H. Robert Horvitz, and Andrew Fire, have published their work in the journal, which is also closely associated with the University of California, Berkeley, Harvard University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The journal's scope is international, with contributions from scientists from around the world, including Europe, Asia, and South America, and institutions such as the European Molecular Biology Organization, the National Academy of Sciences, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

● Publication

The journal is published weekly, with 52 issues per year, by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. The journal is available in both print and online formats, and it is published in English. The journal's publisher is also responsible for publishing other leading scientific journals, including Molecular and Cellular Biology and Biochemistry. Many notable scientists, such as David Julius, Eric Wieschaus, and Elizabeth Blackburn, have served on the journal's editorial board, which is composed of leading researchers from around the world, including Stanford University, University of Oxford, and the Max Planck Society.

● Impact

The journal has a high impact factor, with a current impact factor of 4.125, according to Journal Citation Reports. The journal is ranked as one of the top journals in the field of biochemistry and molecular biology, and it is widely cited by other scientists. Many leading researchers, such as James Rothman, Randy Schekman, and Thomas Südhof, have published their work in the journal, which is also closely associated with the National Science Foundation, the European Research Council, and the Wellcome Trust. The journal's impact is also reflected in its high Eigenfactor score, which measures the journal's influence and prestige in the scientific community, and its association with leading institutions such as the California Institute of Technology, University of Cambridge, and the Pasteur Institute.

● Abstracting_and_indexing

The journal is abstracted and indexed in many leading databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. The journal is also indexed in Google Scholar and Microsoft Academic. Many notable scientists, such as Sydney Brenner, John Sulston, and Robert Waterston, have published their work in the journal, which is also closely associated with the Human Genome Project, the National Human Genome Research Institute, and the European Bioinformatics Institute. The journal's abstracts and indexing information are available online, and they can be searched using a variety of keywords and MeSH terms, including those related to genomics, proteomics, and systems biology.

● Editorial_board

The journal's editorial board is composed of leading researchers from around the world, including Lila Gierasch, Susan Taylor, and Peter Walter. The editorial board is responsible for reviewing and editing manuscripts, as well as making decisions about which articles to publish. Many notable scientists, such as Michael Rosbash, Joseph Takahashi, and Charles Weissmann, have served on the journal's editorial board, which is also closely associated with leading institutions such as the University of California, San Francisco, Harvard Medical School, and the Scripps Research Institute. The journal's editorial board is international, with members from North America, Europe, Asia, and South America, and institutions such as the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, the European Molecular Biology Laboratory, and the Australian National University.
