Journal scope

Molecular Omics publishes high-quality research from across the -omics sciences that provide significant new insight into important chemical or biological problems.

Molecular Omics articles report research that significantly increases understanding or demonstrates clear functional benefits, supported by experimental validation or a novel data analytic approach.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

  • omics studies to gain mechanistic insight into biological processes – for example, determining the mode of action of a drug or the basis of a particular phenotype, such as drought tolerance

  • omics studies for clinical applications with experimental validation, such as finding biomarkers for diagnostics or potential new drug targets
  • omics studies looking at the sub-cellular make-up of cells – for example, the subcellular localisation of certain proteins or post-translational modifications or new imaging techniques

  • studies presenting new methods and tools to support omics studies, including new spectroscopic/chromatographic techniques, chip-based/array technologies and new classification/data analysis techniques. New methods should be proven and demonstrate an advance in the field.

The following are not within the scope of Molecular Omics:

  • Research based on reanalysis of public datasets without experimental validation and significant omics datasets
  • Papers without significant biological justification or interpretation
  • Research that is only of interest to the specialist in the area
  • Papers reporting new results that could be routinely predicted
  • Papers that do not show a significant improvement over known research

Research Article

All new research in Molecular Omics is published in the Research Article format. Research Articles have no page limits, although most articles fall between 4 and 10 journal pages (approximately 10–25 pages of double-spaced text).

Research findings should be presented in an informative way, emphasising the importance and potential impact of the research. Authors should limit experimental procedures and data in the main text to a maximum of two journal pages (approximately 5 double-spaced pages), with all additional experimental information and data placed in the Supplementary Information (SI)).

Authors are particularly encouraged to prepare a title and abstract which concisely summarise the key findings of their research and their importance, avoiding the use of non-standard abbreviations, acronyms and symbols, as this will enable potential readers to quickly understand the significance of the research. Authors should also consider using recognisable, searchable terms, as around 70% of our readers come directly via search engines. The table of contents graphic should give the reader a clear indication of the topic of the study, for example by showing key compounds.

Authors are encouraged to use the article template, available from our Author templates & services page, for preparing their submissions. However, the use of the template for Research Article submissions is not essential.

Additional guidance on the layout and formatting of the article and supplementary information can be found on our Prepare your article page.

Review Article

Molecular Omics reviews are a concise and critical appraisal of an important area in omics science or a related topic, typically 6–12 journal pages in length (approximately 15-30 pages of double-spaced text).

Reviews should focus on the key developments that have shaped the topic, rather than comprehensive reviews of the literature. Authors are encouraged to include their own perspective on developments, trends and future directions, particularly identifying areas where further developments are imminent or that are in urgent need of being addressed. Please note that Reviews should include balanced coverage of the field and not focus predominantly on the author’s own research. Reviews should not include new research results.

We welcome suggestions from authors for Reviews. If you are interested in writing a Review for the journal, please contact the editorial office.

Comments

Comments and Replies are a medium for the discussion and exchange of scientific opinions between authors and readers concerning material published in Molecular Omics.

For publication, a Comment should present an alternative analysis of and/or new insight into the previously published material. Any Reply should further the discussion presented in the original article and the Comment. Comments and Replies that contain any form of personal attack are not suitable for publication. 

Comments that are acceptable for publication will be forwarded to the authors of the work being discussed, and these authors will be given the opportunity to submit a Reply. The Comment and Reply will both be subject to rigorous peer review in consultation with the journal’s Editorial Board where appropriate. The Comment and Reply will be published together.

Journal specific guidelines

 

The following guidelines are journal specific. For general guidance on preparing an article please visit our Prepare your article and Resources for authors pages, the content of which is relevant to all of our journals.

Data requirements for submission

The 澳门六合彩开奖记录 believes that, where possible, all data associated with the research in a manuscript should be Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR), enabling other researchers to replicate and build on that research. For submissions to be considered for peer review, Molecular Omics requires authors to deposit proteomic, metabolomic, genomic and sequencing data in publicly available repositories, and strongly encourages deposition of other data in appropriate public repositories where possible.

All data required to understand and verify the research in an article must be made available on submission, and should be made available in the following ways:

  • All original raw datasets essential for the results and conclusion of the manuscript, especially X-ray crystallographic, macromolecular structure, proteomic, metabolomic, genomic and sequence data, must be deposited in publicly available repositories (list of recommended databases in the respective sections below), and accession numbers must be provided in the manuscript.

  • Datasets without an appropriate or subject-specific public repository available should be deposited in a generalist repository or presented in the supplementary information in a machine-readable format (for example, spreadsheets instead of PDF).

  • All other required data, for example, small molecule characterisation data, should be submitted as supplementary information. See also our general 澳门六合彩开奖记录 guidelines for experimental data for additional information.

  • Authors should state key aspects of experimental design, where appropriate, including operator blinding and sample randomisation. If sample preparation or data acquisition took place across multiple sample batches, authors should clearly state the number of samples per batch, how samples were assigned to each batch, and what quality controls were put in place to assess and account for potential batch effects.

Editors and reviewers must be granted access to data in repositories during the peer-review process in a way that facilitates anonymous peer review i.e. no identifying information is required to access the data. Public release should be coordinated with the earliest publication of the manuscript.

In order to maintain high standards of transparency, research reproducibility, and to promote the reuse of new findings, Molecular Omics requires authors to include a Data Availability Statement as part of the final published article. Further information on Data Availability Statements can be found below.

Manuscripts that do not meet the data requirements will not be considered for peer review; authors should contact the Editorial Office prior to submission to request an exemption if required, for consideration by the Editor on a case-by-case basis.

Data repository guidelines

It is recommended that data is stored on an established, subject-specific and community recognised repository. Generalist repositories (such as Dryad, Figshare, DataVerse) may be used where a subject-specific repository is not available.

Core criteria for data repositories:

  • Unique persistent identifiers e.g. DOI to facilitate discovery and reporting of data
  • Long-term plan and technical infrastructure to ensure persistence of data
  • Data security to prevent unauthorised data modification or access to sensitive data
  • Data should be publicly accessible for no charge and without required logins (exceptions may apply for human data)
  • Supports anonymous peer review. Access to embargoed datasets must be granted to reviewers upon manuscript submission
  • Supports open licences
  • Clear use guidelines
  • Provenance e.g. record of origin, custody and modifications
  • Metadata accompaniment to facilitate discovery, reuse and citation of data sets

On this page is a selection of recommended repositories for different data types. External resources such as the , or may also be useful in finding an appropriate repository for your data.

Recommended repositories for common data types are suggested in the table below.

For experiments involving microorganisms sufficient detail should be provided to identify the species being used. Specific info on antibodies is essential. Commercial sources and if new antibodies are generated full experimental details such as immunogen/phage, species, protocols for mAb) should be given. We strongly recommend authors to use unique for model organisms, antibodies and tools and publish them with full descriptions.

For biomarker discovery and validation studies scatter plots of data, sensitivity and specificity values with confidence intervals and results of receiver operating characteristic curve analysis should be at least presented. If a marker is already routinely used for that disease, a comparison with that marker should be included.

For genetically modified organisms and mutants appropriate repositories such as the UK Stem Cell Bank, the American Type Culture Centre and the Jackson Laboratory should be used. Larger datasets might be given in the Supplementary Information (SI) instead.

 (max file size 250MB)

 (especially recommended for code archiving)

Data availability statements

To maintain high standards of transparency, research reproducibility, and to promote the reuse of new findings, a data availability statement (DAS) is required to be submitted alongside all articles.

Data availability statements provide information about where data, software or code supporting the results reported in a published article can be found. These should include, where applicable, links to datasets shared in an external data repository, which have been analysed or generated during the study. This section should list the database, accession number, DOI, URL or any other relevant details. The full URL link to data sets should be provided (not embedded behind text). Authors are also encouraged to include data citations to associated datasets in the reference section of an article.

The DAS can provide information about the data presented in an article (e.g. in Figures or Tables) or provide a reason if data are not available to access (e.g. human health data). If supporting data or code have been included in the article’s supplementary information, this should also be stated here. If data for the article cannot be made available, for example due to legal or ethical confidentiality requirements, then the DAS should state this.

If the data cannot be made available, for example due to legal or ethical confidentiality requirements, then the DAS should state this.

A Data Availability Statement must be included at the end of the article under the heading “Data availability”, after the conflicts of interest statement and before any acknowledgements. Examples of Data Availability Statements which can be used are shown below:

  • Data for this article, including [description of data types] are available at [name of repository] at [URL – format ].
  • The data supporting this article have been included as part of the Supplementary Information.
  • Crystallographic data for [compound number] has been deposited at the [name of repository, such as CCDC / ICSD / PBD] under [accession number] and can be obtained from [URL of data record, format ].
  • The code for [description of software] can be found at [URL to code location] with [DOI – see guidelines below for citing software and code]. The version of the code employed for this study is version [XXX].
  • This study was carried out using publicly available data from [name of repository] at [URL] with [accession number].
  • The data analysis scripts of this article are available in the interactive notebook [name of notebook, e.g. Google Collab] at [URL].
  • Data for this article are available at [name of repository] at [URL – format ]. Data collected from human participants, described in [Fig. X], are not available for confidentiality reasons.
  • No primary research results, software or code have been included and no new data were generated or analysed as part of this review.

The following statement is generally not acceptable “Data are available upon request from the authors".

Post-acquisition processing of data

All image acquisition and processing tools (including their settings) should be clearly stated in the manuscript. The amount of post-acquisition processing of data should be kept to a minimum. Any type of alteration such as image processing, cropping and groupings should be clearly stated in the figure caption and the Supplementary Information (SI) (clearly describing the process of alteration). Data manipulation (for example, normalisation or handling of missing values) should be given.

Image processing changes should be applied to the entire image as well as all other images it is compared to. Processed images should still represent all the original data (with no data missing) and touch-up tools should be avoided.

All Western blot and other electrophoresis data should be supported by the underlying raw images. The image of the full gel and blot, uncropped and unprocessed, should be provided in the supplementary information on submission. All samples and controls used for a comparative analysis should be run on the same gel or blot. For each blot and gel, all positive and negative controls and molecular size markers (for example, protein ladder) should be shown (if not in the main figure at least in the Supplementary Information (SI)). Only the results of comparable experiments should be compared.

When illustrating the blot or gel result, any cropping or rearrangement of lanes within an image should be stated in the figure legend and with lane boundaries clearly delineated. Important bands should not be cropped in gels and cropped blots should retain at least six band widths above and below the band. Alterations should be kept to a minimum required for clarity.

Each blot or gel image should be appropriately labelled, with closest molecular mass markers and lanes labelled. All details must be visible, over or underexposed gels and blots are not acceptable; a grey background is highly encouraged. Authors should be able to provide raw data for all replicate experiments upon request.

Genuine and relevant signals in spectra must not be lost due to image enhancement.

Microscopy images of cells from multiple fields should not be compared but shown as single images (at least in the Supplementary Information (SI)).

Authors might be asked during peer review to provide the original unprocessed data to the editors/reviewers of the journal.

Guidelines on writing titles, abstracts & table of contents entry

The title, abstract and table of contents entry (graphical abstract) are the first parts of your manuscript that editors, referees and potential readers will see, and once published they play a major part in a researcher’s decision to read your article. Therefore it’s important that these clearly and concisely show the main findings of your research and why they are important.

More information on writing titles, abstracts & table of contents

Titles

The title should be short and straightforward to appeal to a general reader, but detailed enough to properly reflect the contents of your review article. 

  • Keep it relatively short – between 8 and 15 words is ideal.
  • Use easily recognisable words and phrases that can be read quickly.
  • Use general or well-known terms for compounds and procedures rather than very specialised terms or nomenclature.
  • Avoid using non-standard abbreviations and symbols.
  • Avoid using subjective terms such as “novel”.
  • Use keywords and familiar, searchable terms – these can increase the chances of your article appearing in search results. Around 70% of our readers come directly via search engines.

Abstracts

The abstract is a single paragraph which summarises the contents of your article. It will help readers to decide whether your article is of interest to them. 

  • The length can vary from 50 to 250 words (or 40 to 75 words for Communications), but it should always be concise and easy to read with recognisable words and phrases.
  • It should set out the objectives of the work, the key findings and why this research is important (compared to other research in its field).
  • It should emphasise (but not overstate) the significance and potential impact of the research in your article.
  • Avoid including detailed information on how the research was carried out. This should be described in the main part of the manuscript.
  • Like your title, make sure you use familiar, searchable terms and keywords.

Table of contents entry

A table of contents entry (graphical abstract) is required, which should be submitted at the revision stage. This should include an eye-catching graphic and 1-2 sentence(s) of text to summarise the key findings of the article to the reader. It will appear in the table of contents and feeds – for example, RSS feeds.

The graphic should:

  • Be simple, but informative.
  • Capture the reader’s attention (the use of colour is encouraged).
  • Include a structure, scheme, graph, drawing, photograph or combination that conveys the message of the article. Please note, complex schematics or spectra should be avoided.
  • Be original, unpublished artwork created by one of the co-authors. Preferably, the graphic should not be reused and appear again within the article.
  • Be suitable for, and uphold the standards of, a scholarly publication that has a global reach.
  • Not contain any elements that are offensive or inappropriate, in particular words or images that are discriminatory.
  • Not contain graphic images of animal or human testing or surgery.
  • Not contain large amounts of text. Text should be limited to the labelling of compounds, reaction arrows and diagrams, with long phrases or sentences being avoided. Any text should be clearly legible to a reader.
  • Not contain logos, trademarks or brands names.

The text should: 

  • Be concise and focus only on the key findings of the manuscript and their importance, not the processes used; think about what would grab the attention of the potential reader and would encourage them to read the full article.
  • Avoid repeating or paraphrasing the title or abstract.
  • Use easily recognisable words and phrases that can be read quickly.

Table of contents specifications:

  • The figure should be a maximum size of 8 cm wide x 4 cm high.
  • Figures should be supplied as TIFF files, with a resolution of 600 dpi or greater.
  • The text supplied should be 1-2 sentences long, using a maximum of 250 characters.
