Scope and Priorities

The Journal of Carbohydrates publishes high-quality research that advances glycoscience and carbohydrate applications.

We welcome studies on carbohydrate chemistry, glycobiology, polysaccharide materials, and carbohydrate-active enzymes. We are especially interested in work that provides clear structural characterization, mechanistic insight, or translational value for food systems, biomaterials, therapeutics, and industrial biotechnology.

Interdisciplinary submissions are encouraged, including analytical methods for glycan profiling, carbohydrate-based drug delivery, bioinformatics for glycomics, and novel carbohydrate-derived polymers. Manuscripts should present robust data, reproducible methods, and clear interpretation that advances the field.

Core Areas

Glycobiology, glycomics, polysaccharides, carbohydrate chemistry

Applied Science

Food carbohydrates, biomaterials, therapeutic glycans, bioengineering

Methods Focus

Structural analysis, enzymology, synthesis, glycoanalytics

🚀

Featured Research Themes

We encourage submissions across the full carbohydrate science spectrum.

Glycan Structure and Function

Structural characterization, glycosylation pathways, and functional glycan roles.
Studies using advanced spectroscopy, chromatography, MS, and imaging approaches.

Polysaccharide Materials

Cellulose, starch, chitin, and novel polysaccharide architectures.
Work on material properties, modification, and sustainable applications.

Carbohydrate Enzymology

Mechanisms of glycosidases, transferases, and carbohydrate-active enzymes.
Kinetics, structural biology, and biocatalysis for industrial pathways.

Food and Nutrition Science

Digestibility, fiber functionality, prebiotics, and glycemic response.
Human, animal, or in vitro studies with robust nutritional outcomes.

What Makes a Strong Submission

Well-prepared manuscripts move through review faster and earn stronger recommendations.

We look for manuscripts that connect carbohydrate structure to function with clear analytical validation, appropriate controls, and reproducible methods. Authors should highlight the novelty of glycan structures, polysaccharide modifications, enzymatic pathways, or nutritional outcomes, and explain why the findings matter for glycoscience, biotechnology, or food systems.

Strong submissions also provide transparent data availability statements, well-labeled figures, and concise conclusions that reflect the evidence. If your study involves advanced analytics such as MS, NMR, chromatography, or bioinformatics pipelines, summarize the workflow clearly so reviewers can evaluate methodological rigor.

Clear Novelty

Explain how your work advances carbohydrate science.

Method Transparency

Provide enough detail for independent replication.

Data Availability

Include repository links or access statements.

Novel glycan insights Validated analytics Reproducible workflows Clear impact statement

Submission Readiness Checklist

Use this checklist to confirm your manuscript is ready for review.

Clear scope alignment Methods fully described Figures labeled Data availability statement Conflicts disclosed Keywords selected

Before submitting, verify that your title and abstract clearly state the carbohydrate focus and the main contribution. Ensure that analytical methods, glycan nomenclature, and statistical procedures are described sufficiently for replication. If you use specialized datasets or software, include accession numbers and version details. A concise cover letter that explains novelty and relevance helps editors identify the best reviewers quickly.

📝

Ethics and Transparency

We value rigorous, ethical carbohydrate research.

Submissions must include conflict of interest disclosures, funding acknowledgments, and a clear data availability statement. Studies involving human or animal subjects require documented ethics approvals and consent procedures. Transparent reporting strengthens trust and accelerates review.

Submission Timing

Submit early to support timely review and publication.

Early submissions allow more time for peer review and revisions, helping your work appear in the earliest possible release window.
