Journal Title
Carbohydrate Polymers
CARBOHYD POLYM
ISSN / eISSN
0144-8617 / 1879-1344
Aims and Scope
Carbohydrate Polymers covers the study and exploitation of polymers of monosaccharides which have current or potential application in areas such as bioenergy, bioplastics, biomaterials, nanotechnology, biorefining, drug delivery, food, chemistry, packaging , paper, pharmaceuticals, medicine, oil recovery, textiles and wood.
The role of the well-characterized carbohydrate polymer must be the major proportion of the work reported, not peripheral. At least one named carbohydrate polymer must be cited and be the main focus of the title of the paper, and of the paper itself. Research must be innovative and advance scientific knowledge.
Where a polysaccharide is obtained from a supplier, essential structural information which will affect its behavior in the subsequent work should be given. For example, molecular size/viscosity information, mannuronate/glucoronate ration for alginates, degree of esterification for pectin, degree of deacetylation for chitosan. Editors are unlikely to send papers for formal review with a statement such as "sodium alginate was purchased from XXX Inc." unless additional information is supplied. To be acceptable, the paper must include some characterization of the polysaccharide (if not already known) in addition to the application studied. Purity and monosaccharide composition are essential; some molecular size and linkage information is highly desirable.

Verified Reviews
I submitted this article in May, and it was rejected by the editor after a week. They provided five suggestions, so we conducted new experiments to address the editor's concerns. After more than a month, we resubmitted the article. This time, the editor sent it for review within three days, and the reviewers were also very proactive. The review process took two weeks, and on the same day, the editor requested major revisions. Unfortunately, the reviewers raised 23 additional questions and expressed reservations about the manuscript. Currently, we are working tirelessly to make the necessary modifications and conduct further testing, hoping for acceptance!
