Molecular BioSystems Article Types
We welcome your submissions of any of the article types listed below. Before preparing a Review or an Opinion please contact the editorial office with a brief synopsis of your proposed article.
All article types are subject to peer review.
References should always be numbered sequentially throughout the manuscript and should not include the article titles. The correct format for references is:
A. Name, B. Name and C. Name, Journal Title, Year, Volume, Page number
Communications
Communications in Molecular BioSystems contain novel scientific work of such importance and interest that rapid publication is required. Communications are concise and should not exceed four journal pages (~2000 words) in length; they may be accompanied by electronic supplementary material . Communications start with a brief unreferenced abstract and do not contain any section headings. The number of references should be limited to ~15. A short justification statement must be included with the submission outlining why the work merits rapid publication.
Papers
Papers in Molecular BioSystems present original, high quality primary research that has not been previously published. Papers start with a brief unreferenced abstract and contain an introduction, results and discussion, experimental, and notes and references sections.
Methods
Methods in Molecular BioSystems are primary research articles reporting useful new methodology relevant to the scope of the journal. The advantages of the reported work must be clearly presented, for example by comparison with established techniques. Methods should be up to 3000 words in length consisting of a short unreferenced abstract, an introduction, results, discussion, experimental and references.
Reviews
Reviews in Molecular BioSystems are critical reviews of a topical and significant area of research. They are typically up to 6000 words in length and include a short biography of the author(s).
Opinions
Opinions in Molecular BioSystems are typically 2000 words in length and provide a personal, often speculative, viewpoint or hypothesis on a topic of current interest to the scientific community. Provided that they are not defamatory to the work of others they can be controversial and stimulate counter-opinion. They can include a short biography of the author(s).
