Feature Papers in Methods and Protocols 2024

Dear Colleagues,

We are glad to announce this Special Issue on “Feature Papers in Methods and Protocols”. In this Special Issue, we will collect articles from top researchers describing new approaches or new cutting-edge developments to tackle questions in the fields of life sciences, chemistry, and biomedical sciences. In particular, we encourage submissions in the emerging fields of “Omics and High Throughput”, “Public Health Research”, “Synthetic and Systems Biology” and “Tissue Engineering and Organoids”. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish new protocols based on established techniques, as well as significant improvements and developments of cutting-edge methods. For all articles, background information necessary to understand the underlying principles, full experimental details, and comparison with the available protocols/methods must be provided. Scientists are encouraged to provide accompanying video demonstrations, which will be published online, for ease of reproducibility.

You are welcome to send short proposals for the submission of feature papers to our Managing Editor Ms. Eunice Fu ([email protected]) or Editorial Office ([email protected]) before submission. All papers will be subjected to thorough and rigorous peer review.

We look forward to receiving your excellent work.

Prof. Dr. Fernando Albericio
Guest Editor
