Aims and Scope
The Journal of Biological Chemistry welcomes high-quality science that seeks to elucidate the molecular and cellular basis of biological processes. Papers published in JBC can therefore fall under the umbrellas of not only biological chemistry, chemical biology, or biochemistry, but also allied disciplines such as biophysics, systems biology, RNA biology, immunology, microbiology, neurobiology, epigenetics, computational biology, ’omics, and many more. The outcome of our focus on papers that contribute novel and important mechanistic insights, rather than on a particular topic area, is that JBC is truly a melting pot for scientists across disciplines. In addition, JBC welcomes papers that describe methods that will help scientists push their biochemical inquiries forward and resources that will be of use to the research community.

Verified Reviews
Overall evaluation: The journal is highly efficient, with rigorous and meticulous reviewers. It has a high international impact (as it belongs to the Nature Index journals) and a good reputation, but the impact factor is not high, being in the Q2 category. If not particularly focused on the impact factor, it is recommended to consider submitting to the JBC journal. Personally, I believe JBC is the most cost-effective journal with a score below 7.
