Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal (CSBJ) is an online gold open access journal publishing research articles and reviews after full peer review. All articles are published, without barriers to access, immediately upon acceptance. The journal places a strong emphasis on functional and mechanistic understanding of how molecular components in a biological process work together through the application of computational methods. Structural data may provide such insights, but they are not a pre-requisite for publication in the journal. Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

    Structure and function of proteins, nucleic acids and other macromolecules
    Structure and function of multi-component complexes
    Protein folding, processing and degradation
    Enzymology
    Computational and structural studies of plant systems
    Microbial Informatics
    Genomics
    Proteomics
    Metabolomics
    Algorithms and Hypothesis in Bioinformatics
    Mathematical and Theoretical Biology
    Computational Chemistry and Drug Discovery
    Microscopy and Molecular Imaging
    Nanotechnology
    Systems and Synthetic Biology

While all general topics related to Computational and Structural Biology are welcomed, the editors reserve the right to pre-screen submissions based on the suitability of the topic of a submission and, therefore, the right as whether a manuscript will be processed/reviewed or not. Even though experimental validation is not required for publication, reliability and significance of biological discovery are validated and enriched by experimental studies.

The journal welcomes the submission of manuscripts that meet the general criteria of significance and scientific excellence, and enables the rapid publication of papers under the following categories:

    Research articles
    Review articles
    Mini Reviews
    Highlights
    Communications
    Software/Web server articles
    Methods articles
    Database articles
    Book Reviews
    Meeting Reviews
