New Biokemistri  format

Editorial Board

Code Number: bk11013

The Editorial Board is delighted to introduce a new design and format for articles published in Biokemistri starting from the present issue (Vol. 23 Issue 3, December 2011). The old format of the journal had been used for over 10 years and we felt the need to change into a new format to conform to current trends in scientific journal publishing. Some of the features of the new format include the introduction of colour within the abstract, main text, figures and tables, enhanced text font parameters, and new arrangements of the first page and sections of the article. The new format has efficiently reduced the total number of pages per article and total printed volume, in support of the campaign to reduce our impact on the environment due to excessive paper usage. This positive change to the journal is aligned with our commitment to advance the journal as a medium for publication of high-impact excellent quality original research articles. We encourage you to participate in the advancement of Biokemistri as an international journal by submitting your high quality research for consideration for publication.

Starting from this issue, Biokemistri will be publishing specialized review articles in the general area of the scope of the journal. While the majority of reviews will be commissioned on advice of the Editorial Board and the Editorial Advisory Panel, established researchers are invited to submit relevant review articles for consideration. One of the objectives of these reviews is the description of current trends and future directions of research in biochemistry and the biomolecular sciences in general. It is hoped that future issues of Biokemistri will feature strategic review articles commissioned to explore ways of strengthening and optimising the qualities of pure and applied biomolecular science research in developing countries. This has always been a core objective of the Nigerian Society for Experimental Biology (NISEB).

The dissemination of high-quality original research findings and insightful review articles remain the objective of Biokemistri as we look forward to Volume 24 (2012) of the journal. The Editorial Board eagerly awaits contributions that match these descriptions in the coming year.
