Criteria for Publication
To be appropriate for Journal of Proteome Science and Computational Biology, articles need to be of outstanding quality, broad interest and special importance. Initial decisions are held by Editors-in-Chief and submitted manuscripts will undergo unbiased preliminary assessment for the suitability to the scope of the journals. This will be determined during peer review process and by the advice of a member of the editorial board or somebody of equivalent standing. There are no restrictions on the length of articles submitted, but authors are suggested to be concise in regard with the reader’s interest.
Although articles contain sound information, it should fall under the journal’s scope. Article will not be considered for publication even the importance is closely related. This will become apparent only after the peer review process. However, the authors may be offered publication in the most appropriate subject-specific HOAJ journals through Manuscript Transfer Policy.
Benefits of publishing in Journal of Proteome Science and Computational Biology
Widespread Dissemination
Journal of Proteome Science and Computational Biology Open Access policy allows maximum visibility of articles published in the journal as they are available to a wide, global audience. Articles that have been highly accessed are highlighted with a \'Highly accessed\' graphic, which appears on the journal\'s contents pages and search results. Herbert Publications promotes all the published articles and content through free email alerts. It also provides wide range publicity and increased visibility to the articles in journals via updating on social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and Google plus.
Indexing
Following publication in Journal of Proteome Science and Computational Biology, the full-text of each article will be deposited and permanently archived in Google Scholar, Index Copernicus.
Rapid Publication
Journal offers a fast publication schedule whilst maintaining rigorous peer review process. All articles must be submitted online, and peer review is managed fully electronically aimed to take the final decision within 6 weeks from the manuscript submission. The article will subsequently be published immediately in both fully browsable web form, and as a formatted PDF; the article will then be available through Journal of Proteome Science and Computational Biology.
Permanent Space
Herbert publications encourage submitting all the research content and offer proper space tofull text, supplements, tables, figures, color illustrations and additional information related to the submitted manuscript. It provides appropriate links to all the supplements and permanent access online.
Copyright
Articles are published under the Creative Commons Attribution License, providing immediate and permanent access for free to all types of original works. The license grants copyrights to the author concerned and make the articles available for their reuse and dissemination.

All the articles are produced with respect to the scope of the journal based on relevancy, integrity, scientific strength, potential interest, completeness, clarity and ethics. Decisions on manuscripts are not affected by the author\'s origin, nationality, ethnicity, race, religion or political beliefs. No government policies or agencies away from the journal will determine the decision. Decisions taken are strictly based on the articles validity and importance to the scientific readers. For more information visit Editorial Board Policy. Authors who publish in Journal of Proteome Science and Computational Biology retaincopyright to their work.
Herbert Publications closely suggest authors to declaretransparency in any case of duplication and demonstrate significant development in the submitted manuscript than the original article with correct citations. We endorse COPE and ICMJE guidelines to handle the submitted manuscript in case suspected for any duplication or substantial overlap. In compliance with the Helsinki Declaration, it is highly recommended to mention the ethical approvals for animal experimentation, sample collection or trials on humans with their consent. Also maintain transparency to acknowledge competing interest and disclose any partial benefits from individuals in manuscript preparation or funding resources for the research. It is also firmly suggested to declare that workis purely original and not submitted or published elsewhere.
Peer-Review Policy
Journal of Proteome Science and Computational Biology operate single blinded peer review system with rapid and thorough process through electronic submissions and communications. In this process the authors names and affiliations will be revealed to the reviewers, while authors are kept blinded from reviewer details. More information is available at Peer-Review Policy page.
Plagiarism Check
With the interest of maintaining integrity and Publication Standards, the journal employs a plagiarism detection system to subject the manuscript for plagiarism check. By submitting your manuscript to this journal you agree to screen the manuscript prior to evaluation process for plagiarism check against formerly published works. If found in any case that the manuscript is infringed against publication policies, it can be either suspended or rejected at any stage of peer-review process. Hence the authors are closely suggested to declare transparency in any case of duplication and demonstrate significant development in the submitted manuscript than the original article with correct citations.
We check the plagiarism using CrossCheck powered by iThenticate, 
an initiative started by CrossRef.
