About the Journal

Biocompounds is the leading international peer-reviewed journal focusing on biological compounds. This journal serves as a platform for researchers to share their insights and discoveries regarding all aspects of biological compounds originating from plants, animals and microorganisms as well as their applications in pharmaceutical and medical, cosmetics, food, agriculture, fine and bulk chemical industries.

Coverage includes, but is not limited to, the following research topics and areas:

  • Isolation and analysis of biocompounds: New and high-throughput methods in screening, isolation and analysis of biocompounds.
  • Metabolic pathways of biocompounds: Studies of biosynthesis pathways of biocompounds in living organisms as well as the use of Omics technologies for characterization and determining the pathways of biocompounds.
  • Synthesis of biocompounds: New biochemical and chemical technologies for in vitro synthesis or cell-free synthesis as well as stereoselective synthesis of biocompounds.
  • Biotechnology and bioengineering in the production of biocompounds: Strain development and improvement for the production of biocompounds using cutting-edge and emerging technologies as well as optimization and large-scale production of biocompounds.
  • Purification of biocompounds: Effective and new downstream process for recovery and purification of biocompounds.
  • Biological activity and applications of biocompounds: Evaluating applications of biocompounds in pharmaceutical and medical (in vitro and in vivo studies), cosmetics, food, agriculture, fine and bulk chemical industries.

Important Note: Biocompounds are chemical compounds obtained from plants, animals and microorganisms. They are of interest due to their natural origin and their unique properties which offer sustainable alternatives to conventional chemical compounds and they have great potential in various applications. Author(s) should state in the cover letter (a) why the studied material should be considered "Biocompounds"; (b) why the study falls within the Aims and Scope of the journal; and (c) what is the innovation of the study. Papers that lack Biocompounds relevance will be rejected for being out of scope.

Types of Paper

Research Papers that meet the Aims and Scope of the journal reporting original and previously unpublished work. The Editors generally encourage brevity for all Research Papers should preferably not exceed 7,500 words (excluding refs.)

Review Articles should preferably be approximately 10,000 words or less (excluding refs.)
Short Communications are primarily intended to be compact versions of Research Papers, and must still report new and original research of high quality that meets the criteria of being of broad international interest, significant and novel. Therefore, Short Communications are peer-reviewed to the same high standards as Research Papers and are therefore not handled any more rapidly. Other matters of general interest to the community will be considered for occasional publication as a Short Communication; an example could be a short contribution that addresses one very specific technical issue. Short Communications should be no more than 4000 words in length and contain no more than 3 figures.

Letters to the Editor (LTEs) are only published extraordinarily and concerning very special topics. They are passed to external review only after previous contact with the Editor-in-Chief, who will decide rapidly on the potential interest of the LTE for the readers of the Journal. In certain circumstances, authors may be invited to submit a Reply to an LTE.
