Aims & Scope
The Journal of Biochemistry is a peer-reviewed, open access journal published by Directive Publications that advances the molecular understanding of life through rigorous biochemical research. The journal spans clinical and medical biochemistry, molecular biochemistry, enzymology and metabolism, oxidative stress and antioxidant biology, and computational and applied biochemistry, serving researchers, clinical laboratory scientists, educators, and graduate students worldwide.
We welcome original research, reviews, mini-reviews, case reports, and methodological studies on protein structure and function, enzyme kinetics, signal transduction, metabolic pathways, serum biomarkers and electrolytes, lipid and glucose metabolism, inflammatory and diagnostic markers such as C-reactive protein and cardiac enzymes, reactive oxygen species and antioxidant defense, and in silico approaches to bioactive compounds and drug discovery. Plant, nutritional, and applied biochemistry, including salinity-stress and functional-food research, are also within scope.
Every submission undergoes double-blind peer review in line with COPE ethical principles. Accepted articles are published open access under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY 4.0) licence with authors retaining copyright, and each receives a permanent Crossref DOI. Content is discoverable through OpenAlex and Google Scholar and exposed via an OAI-PMH endpoint for harvesting, ensuring lasting citability and global reach.

Frequently Asked Questions
What topics does the Journal of Biochemistry cover?
The Journal of Biochemistry covers clinical and medical biochemistry (serum biomarkers, electrolytes, lipid and cardiac profiles, inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein), molecular biochemistry and enzymology (protein structure and function, enzyme kinetics, signal transduction, metabolic pathways), oxidative stress and antioxidant biology, in silico and drug-discovery biochemistry, and plant, nutritional, and applied biochemistry.
Is the Journal of Biochemistry open access, and what licence is used?
Yes. The Journal of Biochemistry is fully open access. Every accepted article is published under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY 4.0) licence, so authors retain copyright while readers worldwide can freely read, share, and reuse the work with attribution.
How do I submit a manuscript to the Journal of Biochemistry?
Authors submit through the Directive Publications submission page. Prepare your manuscript per the author guidelines, then upload it for editorial screening and double-blind peer review. We consider original research, reviews and mini-reviews, case reports, methodological papers, and editorials across clinical, molecular, and applied biochemistry.
Does the Journal of Biochemistry use peer review and follow publishing ethics?
Yes. All submissions undergo double-blind peer review by subject experts, and the journal follows COPE ethical principles covering authorship, conflicts of interest, plagiarism, and corrections, with a transparent corrections and retractions policy.
Is there an article processing charge, and are waivers available?
An article-processing charge applies only on acceptance to sustain open access publication and permanent archiving. Discounts and full waivers are available; authors who need financial support, including researchers from lower-income regions, are encouraged to request a waiver during submission.
Will my article get a DOI and be discoverable in scholarly databases?
Yes. Each article in the Journal of Biochemistry receives a permanent Crossref DOI and is discoverable through OpenAlex and Google Scholar, with full metadata exposed via an OAI-PMH endpoint. The journal is also preparing applications to additional indexing services such as DOAJ as eligibility is met.
Who should read and publish in the Journal of Biochemistry?
The journal is intended for biochemists, clinical and laboratory scientists, molecular biologists, pharmacologists, plant and nutritional biochemists, educators, and graduate students. It is well suited to authors working on biomarkers, metabolism, enzymology, oxidative stress, and computational biochemistry who want rapid, open, citable dissemination.
What article types does the Journal of Biochemistry accept?
We accept original research articles, narrative and systematic reviews, mini-reviews, case reports, short communications, methodological and in silico studies, and editorials. Well-structured review articles on topics such as oxidative stress, diagnostic biomarkers, and bioactive compounds are especially welcome for their citation and educational value.
