Jbc.org – Journal Of Biological Chemistry

Jbc.orgOne thing is clear: you have to know you periodical timetable quite well to be able to profit from these articles. The Journal of Biological Chemistry is the digital version of the homonymous print journal, published by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology since the early 20th century.

All of the archives are available online, as is the current issue; the largest part of the collection is available in PDF format, though newest articles are in web version. Interestingly, the site provides flexible quotation and copyright management tools, which allow users to quickly ask for permission to reprint, and authors and readers to get alerts on cites and corrections. As is the case with many online journals in a variety of topics, Jbc.org presents a selection of weekly papers which for one reason or other won’t make it to the print edition, but are still interesting for the JBC community of readers. Also very nice is the ‘Classics’ section, where users will be able to get hold of some of the most groundbreaking papers and studies published by the journal in the last century, with a brief introductory note on the researchers and the impact of this collection of works, which will definitely be of great use for all chemistry professionals and students who want to know a bit more about the pioneers of their discipline. Inspired by these groundbreaking works or not, if you have written a paper on any of the wide ranging topics this journal deals with, you can submit your paper for consideration on the site, and also read guidelines on what they expect. I was delighted to see that this journal has a bi-weekly podcast which you can get from the site, as it is a really convenient feature that most scientific journals still aren’t dreaming to include in their sites, though hopefully the trend will catch up.
