Description
Regular Papers: Matrix Biology will review for publication studies utilizing most scientific technologies
including molecular biology, cell biology, immunochemistry, structural biology, computational biology, theoretical biology, and macromolecular
chemistry where the subject is extracellular matrix or is substantially related to matrix and its biological role. The journal will publish
articles that are scientifically rigorous, complete within some logical framework, address molecular or cellular mechanisms, and present
results that are timely and above average significance. Methods without application to a significant project and data on a new species
or system similar to results already in the literature will not be accepted as a regular paper but may be suitable as a Short Note.
Short Notes: Matrix Biology will also review for publication brief reports that meet the same standards of quality and field
of interest as regular papers but have a narrower scope and more focused interest. Examples are: DNA sequence from a new species of special
interest where the sequence from another species is in the literature; a probe, assay or method that is particularly novel and useful;
a new mutation that broadens understanding in a genetic disease where other mutations are known; and brief results of more than usual
interest that will be followed by a more detailed study.
Mini Reviews: The aims of the reviews are to: (a) summarize the
general concepts in the field; (b) provide a brief summary of the new information in the field; and (c) define unresolved questions and
disagreements about currently available data. The mini-reviews will be of two different types, single mini-reviews that will summarize
some new and important discovery in the field, and cluster mini-reviews on a topic that has been under investigation for some time.
To ensure that the mini-reviews reflect a consensus to the scientists in the field, they will be published in one or two issues as series
of articles consisting of (a) an Introductory Review by a Special Editor selected for the series; (b) two or more specialized reviews
from two or more additional experts in the field nd (c) Letters-to-the-Editor by additional experts in the field who will be invited
to comment or volunteer to comment on specific issues raised in the reviews.
Full Length Reviews: These are invited comprehensive
summaries and analyses of topics that have been under investigation for some time.
Announcements: Announcements of national
or international meetings may be published in Matrix Biology.
