Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this Special Issue, we will feature early-career researchers in the field of biochemistry and molecular biology. The senior authors of the contributions should be a) the first or last author in addition to the corresponding author and b) either within 10 years of completing their PhD (or equivalent) or an assistant professor/on tenure track. We invite submissions from all sub-disciplines of biochemistry and molecular biology.
Articles submitted for this Special Issue should meet all the standard requirements of individual Biology articles (regarding quality, novelty, and significance) and be relevant to a broad international and interdisciplinary readership.
Authors featured in this Special Issue will have the opportunity to be nominated for next year's Young Investigator Award. They will receive a cash prize and subsequent free publication of an article in Biology. In addition, a few Article Processing Charge waivers are available for the best scholars who contribute to this Special Issue; waiver requests, accompanied by the manuscript title, author list and abstract, should be sent to [email protected].
Dr. Wuqiang Zhu
