About the Journal
Focus and Scope
“Current Biochemistry” is inatended to make contemporary Indonesian research in biochemistry known internationally, and to encourage the sharing of this research with the widest possible audience.Our mandate is to publish manuscripts relating to emerging areas in biochemistry, chemical biology, biophysics, genomics, proteomics, model studies and structures, cellular and molecular biology,computational biochemistry, biotechnology, and new method developments which are all encouraged, especially if they address basic biochemical mechanisms. We therefore cordially invite quality articles from authors to elevate the standard and extend the readership of the journal.
Peer Review Process
Current Biochemistry is committed to upholding high standards of scientific quality, integrity, and transparency. All manuscripts submitted to the journal undergo a rigorous and structured peer-review process to ensure originality, methodological soundness, and relevance to the field of biochemistry. This process is designed to provide constructive feedback to authors while maintaining an efficient and fair editorial workflow.
Following submission, each manuscript undergoes an initial editorial screening to assess its alignment with the journal’s scope, compliance with ethical guidelines, and overall scientific quality. This preliminary evaluation is typically completed within one week. Manuscripts that do not meet the journal’s standards may be rejected at this stage without external review.
Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are subjected to a double-blind peer-review process and are assigned to independent reviewers with relevant expertise. The peer-review phase generally requires approximately three weeks and focuses on evaluating the validity of the methodology, robustness of the data, clarity of presentation, and significance of the findings. Based on the reviewers’ recommendations, the Editor makes an editorial decision, which may include acceptance, rejection, a request for minor or major revisions, or additional review when necessary.
Authors requested to revise their manuscripts are expected to submit a revised version within approximately two weeks, accompanied by a detailed response to the reviewers’ comments. The revised manuscript is carefully reassessed by the Editor to determine its suitability for final acceptance.
Upon acceptance, the manuscript proceeds to the production stage, which includes professional copyediting, author proof review, and final formatting. The editing and proofreading processes typically take about one week each, and accepted articles are published shortly thereafter. Through this standardized peer-review and editorial workflow, Current Biochemistry ensures the publication of high-quality articles that meet international indexing and accreditation requirements.
