The Journal of Proteome Research is preparing to publish its Third Biennial Special Issue on Software Tools and Resources in January 2023.
Software tools and data resources are essential to research in all omics domains, including proteomics and metabolomics. The goal of this recurring special issue is to highlight the latest novel and significantly updated software tools, web applications, and databases scientists can use for data analysis and visualization in proteomics and related research.
For readers, this provides an easily identifiable source of tools specifically reviewed for their applicability and ease of adoption. For authors, this provides increased visibility and wider adoption of their tools within the proteomics community through dissemination and documentation.
The following team will lead the Special Issue:
- Journal of Proteome Research Topic Editor Magnus Palmblad, Leiden University Medical Center
- Michael Hoopmann, Institute for Systems Biology
- Veit Schwämmle, University of Southern Denmark
They invite you to submit a manuscript by September 30, 2022.
What to Submit—Deadline: September 30, 2022
For inclusion in this special issue, authors must present either a complete description of a relevant novel tool, library, web application, or database (article) or a substantial and meaningful update of a previously published tool or resource (technical note). The full working tool or database must be available free-of-charge to editors and reviewers for evaluation at the time of manuscript submission.
Tools with a graphical or web browser interface are preferred, but the editors will also consider well-documented web service APIs or libraries of functional building blocks for custom data analysis pipelines.
Manuscript Requirements
Manuscripts must be submitted electronically through the ACS Paragon Plus Environment online submission system by September 30, 2022. Submissions must adhere to the appropriate Author Guidelines and the further details laid out in Martens et al., J. Proteome Res. 2015, 14(5):2002-4.
Authors, please:
- Indicate in your cover letter that the manuscript is for the Special Issue on Software Tools and Resources and explain why you consider it suitable for this Special Issue.
- Remember that the full working tool or database must be available free-of-charge to editors and reviewers for evaluation at the time of manuscript submission.
- Be concise and focus the manuscript on the unique or novel functionality of the tool. It should be clear to any reader what problem the system addresses and how it is used.
- For tools and libraries, use the table form to describe the input, operations, and output of each tool or function. A screenshot of the interface may be included if it has novel or unusual features.
