Background

World Journal of Biological Chemistry (WJBC, World J Biol Chem) is a high-quality, open-access academic journal that employs a single-blind peer-review process. The journal focuses on publishing innovative, novel, and practical clinical, basic, and translational research achievements in the fields of biological chemistry. The types of articles published in WJBC include Editorial, Opinion Review, Frontier, Review, Minireview, Clinical Research, Basic Study, Systematic Review, Meta-analysis, Evidence-based Medicine, Field of Vision, Clinical Guidelines, Letter to the Editor, and Case Report. All submissions must comply with academic norms and ethical requirements. The journal is edited and published by the Baishideng Publishing Group. 

Aim

The primary aim of WJBC is to provide scholars and readers from various fields of biological chemistry with a platform for publishing high-quality clinical, basic, and translational research achievements. In order to ensure the quality, fairness, and transparency of publication, WJBC has implemented a variety of measures, as follows: 

1 Academic norms and ethical requirements. Adherence to both academic norms and ethical requirements is closely related to peer review and first-decision making for the manuscript. Authors are recommended to prepare their articles according to the appropriate international publication recommendations, including the STROBE Statement, CONSORT 2010 Statement, PRISMA 2009 Checklist, and CARE Checklist – 2016: Information for writing a case report. For all articles involving human studies, organ transplantations, and/or animal experiments, before their acceptance, author(s) must provide the related formal ethics documents that were reviewed and approved by their local ethical review committee. For full guidelines for authors, please visit: https://www.wjgnet.com/bpg/gerinfo/204.

2 Peer-review process. Articles published in WJBC must undergo rigorous external, single-blind peer review. For the full peer-review process, please visit: https://www.wjgnet.com/bpg/gerinfo/241.

3 Designation of co-first authors and/or co-corresponding authors. Designation of co-first authors and/or co-corresponding authors is permitted. For the policy of allowing co-first authors and co-corresponding authors who made equal contribution to a manuscript, please visit: https://www.wjgnet.com/bpg/GerInfo/310.

4 Publication of innovative original articles. WJBC's acceptance of a manuscript for publication is based on its novelty, innovativeness, data accuracy, image reliability, clear language expression, and ethical requirements. 

5 Disclosure of documents related to the article. The peer review report, author response to the peer review report, biostatistics review certificate, copyright license agreement, institutional ethics committee approval document, informed consent document(s), conflict-of-interest statement, CrossCheck detection report, corresponding author(s) personal ORCID number(s), funding information, language editing certificate, and other relevant documents will be published online along with the article to allow for an open and transparent publishing process.

Scope WJBC mainly publishes articles reporting research results obtained in the field of biological chemistry and covering a wide range of topics including bioenergetics, cell biology, chromosomes, developmental biology, DNA, enzymology, extracellular matrices, gene regulation, genomics, glycobiology, immunology, lipids, membrane biology, metabolism, molecular basis of disease, molecular biophysics, neurobiology, plant biology, protein structure and folding, protein synthesis and degradation, proteomics, and signal transduction. Reviews of all types are expected to provide in-depth conceptualization, rather than a “laundry list” of previous findings.
