Overview

Russian Journal of Bioorganic Chemistry is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes reviews and original experimental and theoretical studies on the structure, function, structure–activity relationships, and synthesis of biopolymers, such as proteins, nucleic acids, polysaccharides, mixed biopolymers, and their complexes, and low-molecular-weight biologically active compounds (peptides, sugars, lipids, antibiotics, etc.). The journal also covers specific aspects of drug development, specific aspects of candidate diagnostics and therapy, and specific aspects of neuro- and immunochemistry, biotechnology, and ecology. Previously focused on translation, Russian Journal of Bioorganic Chemistry now accepts manuscripts originally submitted in English, along with translated works. The peer review policy of the journal is independent of the manuscript source, ensuring a fair and unbiased evaluation process for all submissions. The sources of content are indicated at the article level. The journal has the aim of becoming an international publication, has an international team of reviewers, and encourages submissions from authors worldwide in English.

Peer review and editorial policy

The journal follows the Springer Nature Peer Review Policy, Process and Guidance, Springer Nature Journal Editors' Code of Conduct, and COPE's Ethical Guidelines for Peer-reviewers.

Approximately 10% of the manuscripts are rejected without review based on formal criteria as they do not comply with the submission guidelines. Each manuscript is assigned to two or three peer reviewers. The journal follows a double-blind reviewing procedure. The period from submission to the first decision is up to 7 days. The approximate rejection rate is 69%. The final decision on the acceptance of a manuscript for publication is made by the Editor-in-Chief.

If Editors, including the Editor-in-Chief, publish in the journal, they do not participate in the decision-making process for manuscripts where they are listed as co-authors.

Special issues published in the journal follow the same procedures as all other issues. If not stated otherwise, special issues are prepared by the members of the editorial board without guest editors.
