"The Journal of Biological Chemistry is published weekly, and totals over 30,000 pages per year of original research reports on biochemistry and molecular biology. All scientific papers submitted for publication go through an extensive peer-review process involving some of the more than 300 members of the Journal of Biological Chemistry Editorial Board."

The Journal of Biological Chemistry is published by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.

The Journal of Biological Chemistry Online is co-published with Stanford University's HighWire Press(TM).

This service is made possible through the Federal Government's National Priority (Reserve) Fund allocation of $5 million for library infrastructure since 1994. The selection of services has been made by the Database Access Working Group of the Australian Vice-Chancellors' Committee's Standing Committee on Information Resources.

  • Support, training, training materials - are they relevant/adequate ?
