JBC Thematic Minireview Series

With the rapid rate of today's scientific advancements, it can be difficult enough to keep up with one's own research specialty, let alone the numerous other disciplines covered under the biochemistry umbrella. To that end, the ASBMB Council, Publications Committee, and JBC Editors developed the Minireviews to help readers keep abreast of the advances and trends in biochemical research outside their own area of expertise. The goal of the Minireviews is to provide a concise summary of a particular field in a manner understandable to biochemists working in any area. JBC also periodically offers Thematic Minireview Series, special collections of invited Minireviews coordinated by a JBC Associate Editor that are often associated with meetings and symposia. All Minireviews are by invitation only, and subjects are chosen by the JBC Editors.
