About the Journal of Carbohydrates
The Journal of Carbohydrates is a peer-reviewed, open access publication dedicated to publishing original research, comprehensive reviews, and technical papers focused on carbohydrate chemistry, glycobiology, polysaccharide science, and innovative carbohydrate applications in biotechnology, food science, and medicine. Our comprehensive scope encompasses monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, glycoproteins, glycolipids, carbohydrate-active enzymes, and advanced analytical methods for glycan structural characterization and molecular analysis techniques.
Our distinguished editorial board includes glycobiologists, carbohydrate chemists, food scientists, and biotechnology researchers from leading academic institutions and research laboratories worldwide. We welcome structural analysis studies, biosynthesis research, enzymatic modification techniques, carbohydrate-based drug development, food carbohydrate characterization, and innovative industrial biotechnology applications for glycoscience advancement.
We maintain rigorous methodological and ethical standards for all submissions. Authors must provide complete structural characterization data, analytical validation protocols, and transparent conflict of interest disclosures. We encourage adherence to Symbol Nomenclature for Glycans (SNFG) standards and MIRAGE guidelines for glycomics data reporting. Membership never influences editorial decisions; all manuscripts undergo identical rigorous peer review by carbohydrate science specialists.

Pain Points We Solve
Publishing carbohydrate research should advance global glycoscience and biotechnology innovation, not create financial barriers or publication delays. Many investigators struggle with unpredictable article processing costs that complicate research grant budgets and institutional funding allocations. Others experience frustrating delays when critical structural discoveries need rapid dissemination to the scientific community. Our comprehensive membership program directly solves these challenges with practical, cost-effective solutions designed specifically for carbohydrate chemistry researchers.

Important Terms
Editorial Independence: Membership reduces publication costs but never influences peer review outcomes or acceptance decisions. Every manuscript submitted to the Journal of Carbohydrates is evaluated strictly on scientific merit, structural analysis quality, and contribution to glycoscience alone. Our distinguished peer reviewers apply identical rigorous methodological and ethical standards to every submission regardless of author membership status. The editorial team operates completely independently from membership administration to maintain the highest scholarly integrity standards for the carbohydrate chemistry research community.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do rejected manuscripts use my membership benefits?
No. APC waivers and membership benefits apply only to manuscripts that successfully complete the full peer review process and receive formal acceptance from our editorial team. Rejected manuscripts do not count against your annual publication allowance or membership credits.
Can co-authors use my membership?
Yes. All co-authors listed on your manuscripts receive full APC relief within your membership allowance, making collaborative multi-institutional carbohydrate chemistry research highly cost-effective for your entire research team.
Are special issues included?
Unlimited submission benefits exclude special issues, but members receive a generous 30% discount on all special issue article processing charges for themed collections and symposia publications.
Can I upgrade my tier later?
Absolutely. Contact our dedicated membership team anytime to upgrade your tier and receive a revised membership agreement reflecting your enhanced benefits, additional publication allowances, and increased cost savings.
