Description
Trends in Biochemical Sciences (TiBS) is the leading monthly review journal in biochemistry. Every issue of Trends in Biochemical Sciences contains succinct articles on the most exciting recent developments in the fields of biophysics, microbiology, plant sciences and medical science. Trends in Biochemical Sciences has a prestigious Advisory Editorial Board that attests to the journal's established reputation as essential reading for all biochemists, molecular biologists and cell biologists, from students to professors.

Review articles published in Trends in Biochemical Sciences are lively, well-illustrated and have been thoroughly peer reviewed to ensure a balanced representation of the literature. This section also contains Historical Reviews which provide an historical account of a particular field. Opinion articles follow trends and innovative ideas whilst the update section is designed to highlight recent advances in a particular research field providing insight on the implications of the new developments as well as future perspectives and directions.

Ethics in Publishing: General Statement
The Editor(s) and Publisher of this Journal believe that there are fundamental principles underlying scholarly or professional publishing. While this may not amount to a formal 'code of conduct', these fundamental principles with respect to the authors' paper are that the paper should: i) be the authors' own original work, which has not been previously published elsewhere, ii) reflect the authors' own research and analysis and do so in a truthful and complete manner, iii) properly credit the meaningful contributions of co-authors and co-researchers, iv) not be submitted to more than one journal for consideration, and v) be appropriately placed in the context of prior and existing research. Of equal importance are ethical guidelines dealing with research methods and research funding, including issues dealing with informed consent, research subject privacy rights, conflicts of interest, and sources of funding. While it may not be possible to draft a 'code' that applies adequately to all instances and circumstances, we believe it useful to outline our expectations of authors and procedures that the Journal will employ in the event of questions concerning author conduct. With respect to conflicts of interest, the Publisher now requires authors to declare any conflicts of interest that relate to papers accepted for publication in this Journal. A conflict of interest may exist when an author or the author's institution has a financial or other relationship with other people or organizations that may inappropriately influence the author's work. A conflict can be actual or potential and full disclosure to the Journal is the safest course. All submissions to the Journal must include disclosure of all relationships that could be viewed as presenting a potential conflict of interest. The Journal may use such information as a basis for editorial decisions and may publish such disclosures if they are believed to be important to readers in judging the manuscript. A decision may be made by the Journal not to publish on the basis of the declared conflict.
