Why Should You Publish in JBC?
- Long-standing reputation (110 years old!)
- Editorial decisions & reviews by practicing scientists, like yourself
- A very innovative journal
− First electronic journal − First to publish “papers in press” next day − We are really “open access”
- Covers many types of research, including yours
- Fast review (mean time to first review 20 days)
- No charge for color art (for ASBMB members)
- Your publishing in JBC helps support the ASBMB & its programs
- You are on the Editorial Board
− If JBC is worth your time reviewing papers, it is worth publishing in too! − If EBMs don’t publish in the JBC, how can we convince anyone else to?
