Submit your manuscript to BioArchitecture

BioArchitecture will utilize an online submission and tracking system designed to provide efficient service to authors. Through the online system, author files are automatically converted to PDFs, submissions are acknowledged by email, and authors can track their manuscript through the stages of the peer review process.

We will begin accepting submissions in June, 2009.

Note to Potential Authors

Page and color charges are waived for the first six issues and the final version of accepted manuscripts will be posted on the web site promptly. Any content posted on the web site from now until January 2011 will always be free for registered users. Authors will receive a free print version of the issue containing their paper. For additional information on how to submit your manuscript please visit our Guidelines for Authors.

Original research papers and review articles rejected from high-impact journals, including Nature, Science and Cell may be submitted with previous reviews and decision letters.

Everything You Need to Know?

Technological and Methodological Advances

BioArchitecture will have a facilitating role in this research field by providing core technological and methodological information for the use of new experimental approaches, particularly in, biomechanics, nanotechnology, cell imaging both in vitro and in vivo, and evaluation of approaches to study specific architectural problems, especially those involving complex gene families. This section of the journal is tentatively titled ‘Everything you need to know about...”. Suggestions for topics for this section should be sent to the Editor-In-Chief or one of the Associate Editors. As the name suggests, this section is intended to provide practical information to facilitate research using the technology or methodology covered in this section.

About the journal

"Function follows form" is one of the handful of concepts which are at the core of our understanding of biology. With the ever increasing sophistication of our ability to both visualise and functionally dissect cellular architecture, we can now capture the relationship of form and function at a molecular level. BioArchitecture is the first journal dedicated to all aspects of cell architecture and its role in cell function. There is scarcely a cellular process that does not involve the architecture of the cell. BioArchitecture aims to provide a forum for both the publication of primary research and reviews and the discussion/evaluation of issues of central interest to this research community.

BioArchitecture will consider for publication any manuscript which contributes to our understanding of the establishment, organisation, dynamics and function of cell architecture. We recognise that insights may come from the most unexpected and unconventional of directions and will take an inclusive approach in interpreting the scope of the journal.

BioArchitecture topics will include, but not be limited to, in vivo and in vitro approaches to the synthesis, assembly and regulation of architectural molecules including motors into higher order strutures, the characterisation and biophysical properties of architectural systems, the integration and role of architectural systems in cellular processes and the contribution of cell architecture to disease.
