Call for Papers
The Journal of Glycomics and Metabolism welcomes submissions throughout the year from researchers, clinicians and multidisciplinary teams working on glycans and metabolism. Regular submissions are accepted throughout the year.
Research the journal welcomes
JGM publishes research on glycan biology and metabolism, from molecule to organism, including the molecular mechanisms of glycosylation and metabolic disorders. The topics listed illustrate the range of work the journal considers, including but not limited to these areas.
- Glycan structure and biosynthesis
- Glycoproteins and glycoproteomics
- Glycan recognition
- Metabolic pathways and regulation
- Analytical and computational methods
- Glycosylation and metabolic disorders
Article types
- Original ResearchEmpirical studies of glycans, glycoconjugates or metabolism, from molecular and cellular work to studies of tissues, organisms and populations.
- ReviewNarrative, scoping or systematic reviews of a defined question in glycan biology or metabolism. A systematic review is submitted as a Review.
- Methods and ProtocolsNew, adapted or validated methods, analytical and computational tools, and protocols for planned studies.
- Short CommunicationConcise reports of a focused or preliminary finding.
- Data NoteDescriptions of datasets, such as glycomic, glycoproteomic or metabolomic data, to support their reuse.
- Case ReportIndividual cases or short case series, such as a metabolic or glycosylation disorder, that carry a lesson for diagnosis, mechanism or care. A case series is submitted as a Case Report.
- PerspectiveReasoned, evidence-based argument on a current question in the field or on published work.
- LetterBrief responses to articles published in the journal, or short observations of relevance to the field.
Case reports and perspectives are considered when they are relevant to glycans or metabolism. A case series is submitted as a Case Report, and a systematic review as a Review.
There are no fixed length limits for any article type; manuscripts should be concise and proportionate to their content.
How to submit
Please prepare the manuscript according to the Instructions for Authors, then submit it through one of the routes below.
- Primary route
ManuscriptZone
The publisher's online submission and review system. Register or sign in, choose the Journal of Glycomics and Metabolism and upload the manuscript files.
- Alternative route
Simple manuscript submission form
A single-page form that opens with the Journal of Glycomics and Metabolism selected.
- Assisted route: editorial email
info@openaccesspub.org
For authors who are unable to use either online route. Send the manuscript files with a cover letter.
Authors must use only one submission route for the same manuscript.
Review, publication and fees
- Screening
- All submissions undergo initial editorial screening. Manuscripts that meet the journal's scope and minimum requirements proceed to independent peer review.
- Peer review
- Single-blind by default; double-blind review is available on request. Manuscripts that proceed to external peer review are normally evaluated by at least two independent subject-matter experts.
- Decisions
- Editorial decisions are based on scope, scientific quality, methodological rigor, ethical compliance, reporting quality, and relevance to the journal.
- Publication
- Accepted articles are published open access under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license (CC BY 4.0) with a Crossref DOI; authors retain copyright.
- Article processing charge
- USD 1,200, payable only after acceptance; withdrawal after submission is subject to the journal's withdrawal policy. Fee-relief inquiries are considered case by case; contact the editorial office before or at submission.
Questions before submitting
