Supporting our community through Covid-19
We know that this is a very challenging time for everyone, for many different reasons. If any aspect of the publishing process is worrying you – for example you think you may struggle to meet a pre-determined deadline – please let us know, and we will work out an answer together.
Setting up remote access to RSC content
You can find details about how to access information remotely in this step-by-step guide. The guide will also help if for any reason you have difficulty accessing the content you want.

We are pleased to announce the transfer of the journal Metallomics from our journals portfolio to Oxford University Press (OUP), starting with the 2021 volume. For more information please read the press release.
Scope
Metallomics publishes cutting-edge investigations aimed at elucidating the identification, distribution, dynamics, role and impact of metals and metalloids in biological systems. Studies that address the “what, where, when, how and why” of these inorganic elements in cells, tissues, organisms, and various environmental niches are welcome, especially those employing multidisciplinary approaches drawn from the analytical, bioinorganic, medicinal, environmental, biophysical, cell biology, plant biology and chemical biology communities. We are particularly interested in articles that enhance our chemical and/or physical understanding of the molecular mechanisms of metal-dependent life processes, and those that probe the common space between metallomics and other ‘omics approaches to uncover new insights into biological processes.
As we celebrate our 10-year anniversary in 2019, Metallomics seeks to position itself at the forefront of those advances in analytical chemistry destined to clarify the enormous complexity of biological systems. As such, we particularly welcome those papers that outline cutting-edge analytical technologies, e.g., in the development and application of powerful new imaging, spectroscopic and mass spectrometric modalities. Work that describes new insights into metal speciation, trafficking and dynamics in complex systems or as a function of microenvironment are also strongly encouraged. Studies that examine the interconnectivity of metal-dependent processes with systems level responses relevant to organismal health or disease are also strongly encouraged, for example those that probe the effect of chemical exposure on metal homeostasis or the impact of metal-based drugs on cellular processes.
Authors are asked to use the Statement on the “Significance to Metallomics”, required upon submission of all manuscripts, as a mechanism to highlight these interdisciplinary advances of significance to the metals in biology and metallomics communities.
Why publish in Metallomics?
By publishing in the journal, your work will receive high impact, interdisciplinary, and international exposure to an interdisciplinary audience. Metallomics is indexed in MEDLINE providing the widest possible access to the contents in the journal. Metallomics authors also benefit from:
- fast times to publication (typically 35 days from receipt to first decision)
- efficient, fair and transparent peer review
- a dedicated editorial service
- hot article promotion
- free colour, PDF reprints and electronic supplementary information (ESI)
- Open access options.
Editorial board
A team of in-house publishing editors is responsible for peer review and editorial decisions. The editorial board chair does not handle the peer review of any manuscripts, however the editorial and advisory boards may be consulted during the peer review process.
