Information for Authors

NOTE: Authors may now choose to submit their own Manuscript PDF File for use during the peer review process, or allow the system to generate a PDF automatically. [See details...] Note that there are special instructions for Preparing and Submitting Manuscripts Using TeX/LaTeX.

In 2008, Biochemistry is pleased to introduce Rapid Reports. Reserved for timely topics of unusual interest, Rapid Reports are expedited publications limited to three printed pages and authors are asked to adhere to specific guidelines when submitting their work. A final decision will be made approximately three weeks from receipt. Manuscripts that do not adhere to these rules will be placed in the standard Biochemistry Article workflow.

Biochemistry has no page charges and does not charge for approved color illustrations.
