Abstract
Reflecting on an incredible journey with JBC
Highlights
We embraced social media, we created curated emails to share the exciting papers in Journal of Biological Chemistry (JBC) to a broad audience, we launched the Editors’ Pick Highlights articles to bring attention to key findings published in JBC, and we began a program of editing titles and abstracts to enhance their readability and accessibility [6]
One major endeavor was the launching of JBC Reviews to replace Mini-Reviews [7]
We heard from authors that they wanted more flexibility than Mini-Reviews allowed in order to capture the excitement in their fields, and we heard from readers and other educators that they wanted fantastic imagery
Summary
We improved the process for authors: formalizing an appeal committee, clarifying reviewer expectations, and continually working to decrease the time from submission to first decision (always fast, and a remarkable 16 days). We heard from authors that they wanted more flexibility than Mini-Reviews allowed in order to capture the excitement in their fields, and we heard from readers and other educators that they wanted fantastic imagery.
