Progress in Biochemistry and Biophysics welcomes submission of research and review articles in all areas of life science. All data must undergo peer review along with the manuscript as part of the acceptance process. It is required that the data are true and reliable, and that the main data, figures and tables have not been published in any form, nor have been considered for publication by other journals or websites. If a review paper cites figure/table in published literature, the copyright owner's license shall be submitted to the editorial office. If some of the supporting data or figure/table in research papers have been published, authors shall state it in writing to the editorial office and make proper citation. The journal opposes redundant publishing of research results and all academic misconduct including multiple submissions. Once such behavior is found, this journal will demand the responsible person and institute to apologize publicly, and take necessary punishment measures and demand financial compensation.
A Submission Statement signed by corresponding author should be provided. The format file of the Submission Statement can be downloaded from the journal’s website http://www.pibb.ac.cn/pibben/site/menu/20250328171849001. The submission statement should be submitted as part of the manuscript before the main text(please refer to Requirements for Initial Submission).
Figures
Figures may be embedded into the main text. Please ensure all Figures have a title and legend. All Figures must be referred to in the main text.The files should be uploaded as attachments to the manuscript. TIFF (Image File) or EPS (Graphic File) are the preferred formats.
Requirements for Initial Submission
Initial submission should include the following parts in order:
Submission Statement. It is signed by the corresponding author.
Title. A succinct title accurately reflecting the theme of a paper is essential. A maximum of 10 notional words is proposed.
Authors and their affiliated institutions should be listed beneath the title.
Footnote contains funding, corresponding author contact information, and anything need to state.
Abstract concisely describes the objective, methods, results and conclusion of the research. An abstract with at least 500 words is required.
Key words. In general, 3~8 keywords are required.
Main Text. The language in text should be concise and accurate. All the symbols, abbreviations and acronyms should be defined the first time they appear. All units should be SI units with exception of the following ones: minute (min), hour (h) and day (d) for time, degree(゜), minute(′), second(″) for plane angle, liter(L) for volume, unified atomic mass unit(u) for mass of molecule, r/min for rotational frequency, decibel(dB) for sound pressure level，Å for length in describing the three-dimensional structure of proteins.
Figures and Tables with title and legends should be inserted into the proper position of the text.
Supplementary files. Supplementary Figures and Tables should be presented in a separate file from the main manuscript. All supplementary files must be referred to in the main text.
References. All references should be numbered in the order in which they are cited.
Submission Requirements on Short Communications
Short communications should report highly innovative research results or phased achievements with high innovation significance and have not been published internationally. When submitting, two recommendation letters from peer expert should be provided at the same time to objectively evaluate the innovation and authenticity of the content. Recommendation letters should be submitted directly to the editorial office by the recommender’s email box. Before receiving all Recommendation Letters, the manuscript will be treated as ordinary submission.
