Call for Papers: Journal of Proteomics and Genomics Research

Journal of Proteomics and Genomics Research invites high quality submissions in proteomics, genomics, and systems biology that advance molecular understanding and improve translational outcomes. We welcome original research, reviews, and method papers that provide clear biological insights and robust data interpretation.

Our editorial priorities focus on rigor, reproducibility, and clinical or translational relevance. Submissions should demonstrate strong experimental design, transparent methods, and actionable findings for the scientific community.

JPGR values datasets that can be reused by the broader community, particularly in multi-omics contexts where validation across cohorts or platforms strengthens evidence.

Priority Themes for JPGR

• Proteome profiling, quantitative proteomics, and protein interaction networks
• Genomic discovery, variant interpretation, and functional genomics
• Multi-omics integration and systems biology modeling
• Biomarker discovery and validation for diagnostics or therapeutic monitoring
• Computational proteomics, bioinformatics pipelines, and data analytics
• Single cell and spatial omics applications
• Translational molecular medicine and clinical proteogenomics
• Emerging technologies for mass spectrometry and sequencing

Article Types Welcomed

• Short communications reporting focused, high impact findings
• Data resources with curated datasets and clear reuse guidance
• Perspectives and commentaries on emerging scientific directions

What Makes a Strong JPGR Submission

Successful submissions present a clear research question, robust datasets, and transparent analytical workflows. We look for studies that explain biological implications and connect molecular findings to broader scientific or clinical contexts.

Authors should highlight novelty, provide strong validation, and explain why the work advances the proteomics or genomics field.

• Clear hypotheses and defined endpoints
• Appropriate controls and biological replicates
• Transparent statistical reporting and validation steps
• Well labeled figures and tables with interpretable captions

Scope Fit and Boundaries

JPGR prioritizes manuscripts anchored in proteomics and genomics. Interdisciplinary studies are welcome when the central contribution advances molecular science and provides direct evidence from proteomic or genomic datasets.

Manuscripts focused exclusively on clinical outcomes without molecular analysis, or on basic biology without genomics or proteomics relevance, may fall outside scope.

• Explain how molecular data drive the main conclusions
• Describe dataset generation and validation clearly
• Connect findings to biological mechanisms or translational impact

Why Publish in JPGR

Author Support and Visibility

JPGR supports authors with clear submission guidance, metadata checks, and indexing ready publication. These steps help ensure your work is discoverable across molecular science platforms and institutional reporting systems.

Open access publication under CC BY 4.0 allows broad sharing while preserving author attribution.

• Editorial office guidance on scope and formatting
• Indexing and DOI registration support
• Compliance support for funder reporting

Translational Relevance

JPGR values studies that connect molecular findings to clinical or biological impact. Clearly describe how proteomic or genomic insights influence diagnostics, therapeutic targeting, or mechanistic understanding.

Highlighting translational relevance helps reviewers and readers assess the practical significance of the research.

When possible, include validation steps that demonstrate real world applicability.

Data and Reporting Expectations

JPGR values reproducible science. Manuscripts should include detailed methods, data availability statements, and clear descriptions of analytical workflows. Proteomics and genomics data should be deposited in recognized repositories when possible.

If data access is restricted, explain the reason and provide a pathway for qualified access. Clear reporting supports peer review and long term reuse of molecular datasets.

• Provide repository accession numbers for proteomics or sequencing data
• Describe quality control, normalization, and statistical thresholds
• Include software versions and parameter settings for reproducibility
• Clarify biological replicates and experimental design details

Data Quality and Validation

JPGR prioritizes datasets that are validated with appropriate controls and independent verification. Clearly describe how biological and technical variability were managed across cohorts or experimental batches.

Validation steps should demonstrate that findings are robust, reproducible, and biologically meaningful.

• Report technical and biological replicate counts
• Describe validation cohorts or independent datasets
• Document quality metrics for sequencing or mass spectrometry runs

Ethics and Responsible Research

Human and animal research must follow ethical standards and include approval documentation. For clinical data, explain consent and data protection procedures.

Conflicts of interest and funding sources should be disclosed clearly to support transparency.

• Provide ethics committee approvals when applicable
• Describe consent procedures for human participants
• Disclose funding sources and potential conflicts

Review and Publication Timeline

Submissions undergo initial editorial screening for scope fit, ethics, and data completeness. Suitable manuscripts proceed to single blind peer review by subject experts.

We aim for timely decisions and transparent communication throughout the review process.

Open Access and APC Overview

JPGR operates under an open access model to ensure research is visible to the global molecular science community. APCs are applied after acceptance and help support peer review, production, and indexing services.

Membership options and affordable APC waivers are available for eligible authors. Contact the editorial office for guidance on eligibility.

Submission Checklist

• Scope fit confirmed for proteomics or genomics focus
• Repository accession numbers provided
