• Quartile (Q4): Ranked Q4 among journals in its subject category — position relative to category peers.

Publishing in Methods in Molecular Biology

An established venue in its field. The journal welcomes solid, well-executed research. Ensure your manuscript fits the stated scope and follows author guidelines carefully.

• Scope fit: Confirm your research aligns with Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology. Off-scope manuscripts are typically desk-rejected quickly.
• Author guidelines: Follow formatting, reference style, and article-type requirements exactly — non-compliant manuscripts may be returned without review.

Is This Journal Right for Your Paper?

• Audience match: Will the journal's readers cite and build on your findings?
• Timeline: Higher-tier journals mean longer review and higher rejection risk. Balance prestige against your schedule.
• Indexing: Confirm indexing in Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed (if biomedical) meets your institutional requirements.
• Open access needs: Check funder mandates and whether the journal offers compliant OA options.
