About this journal

Aims and scope

Critical Insights in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (CIBMB) a selective, Open Access, interdisciplinary journal that publishes quality, forward-thinking, impactful scientific research across Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.

CIBMB welcomes research that integrates theory and experimentation to address challenging questions facing the world, from the level of whole organisms to atom.

Specific topics covered include, but are not limited to:

  • Structure, function and biology of macromolecules
  • DNA and RNA Biology
  • Molecular basis of disease, including cancer and infectious diseases
  • Membrane processes, signal transduction, and inter- and intra-cellular signalling

CIBMB’s mission is to integrate theory and experimentation and draw together tools from Physics and Chemistry to to better understand disease and cellular physiology.

1. What are the Critical Insights Journals

From the latest research to championing new thinking and new approaches. The Critical Insights journals select you the research you need to know that shapes the future of your field.
Advancing research through quality, trust, impact, and partnership.

2. Why choose a Critical Insights journal?

We're dedicated to ensuring your research receives the attention it deserves. Our Commitment to you is:

  • Quick Decisions – your manuscript will be assessed within 7 days. If it will not be sent to review, we will tell you as soon as possible so you can transfer or submit elsewhere without delays.
  • Quality Reviews – we are the gatekeepers of true and trusted content. Our Editors will inform you why we made our decision (rather than just saying no) and provide advice on how to improve your manuscript.
  • Experts – like you, the journal is part of the community. Our Editors and Referees know the field and community and put that at the centre of everything we do and the decisions we make.
  • Best Paper Forward – our staff, rather than a machine, will copyedit your paper, so the published work is as clear and accessible as possible. Figures (and images) will be in a format that can easily re-used and shared.
  • Research in Context – we will work with you to create a summary of your work telling everyone (including your funder, supervisors, and colleagues) what you have done and what it means for your community. We call it a Critical Insights Summary.

From start to finish our aim is to provide guidance and publish as quickly as possible. Once your research is out there, we will enhance its readability, impact, and visibility so you can drive your community forward and enhance your career.

3. The Critical Insights Vision

  • Quality – highly respected Editors, Boards and Referees who are committed to shaping their community and driving the field of research forward.
  • Trust – the work you see has been reviewed by our Editors so; as a Referee  you know that you are being asked to look at something good! And, as a Reader you know that our editors and referees are in the field and the published research is relevant, interesting, and can be trusted.
  • Impact – through Critical Insights Summaries you can quickly understand how a paper builds on, and advances, your field of research.
  • Partnership – We listen, our editors who are active members of the community, and want your feedback. Our aim is to make this the journal series you want, and need, it to be!
