Special issue proposals accepted until June 15!
SLAS Discovery is pleased to introduce a new Protocols article type (see article type details in our Guide for Authors). In summary, the intent is to focus on step-by-step descriptions of methods which enable scientists across academic and industry to directly reproduce the protocol and adapt to their research needs.
Methods published as part of a full research article often lack sufficient detail necessary to easily recreate the experiment(s) and analysis. To address this gap, SLAS Discovery Protocols now allow authors to publish these methods in full detail, thereby providing much-needed reproducibility and rigor of methods. To inaugurate the release of Protocols, we have devoted a Special Issue to the novel format. In the future, Protocols will be a standard article type for SLAS Discovery and will be published Open Access.
SLAS Discovery Guest Editor(s) Mariafrancesca Scalise Ph.D., (University of Calabria) and Adam Zweifach Ph.D. (University of Connecticut) invite the submission of abstracts of validated experimental protocols for publication in a 2022 Special Issue. Manuscript proposals (abstracts) will be used to select and invite protocols for review and publication consideration.
Drs. Scalise and Zweifach seek high-quality and validated protocols on methods that have been previously used in published and peer-reviewed scientific studies. Protocols not used previously will only be considered if experimental data demonstrating the feasibility and efficacy of the method is submitted. Abstracts are welcome from academia, industry and service providers. Methods will need to be in scope with the Journal and include, but are not limited to:
Abstracts are due June 15. Proposals should include your name, contact information, affiliation, a working title and abstract (250-500 words) as an MS Word document.
Invited manuscripts must be completed and submitted by August 1. All submitted papers will be subject to peer-review to ensure scientific rigor, clarity of expression and integration with other contributions in the SLAS Discovery Special Issue.
Publication note: After submissions are accepted, articles publish online ahead-of-print within 30 days, becoming immediately searchable and citable with a DOI.
