Carbohydrate Research

Journal Title：Carbohydrate Research

Carbohydrate Research publishes reports of original research in the following areas of carbohydrate science: action of enzymes, analytical chemistry, biochemistry (biosynthesis, degradation, structural and functional biochemistry, conformation, molecular recognition, enzyme mechanisms, carbohydrate-processing enzymes, including glycosidases and glycosyltransferases), chemical synthesis, isolation of natural products, physicochemical studies, reactions and their mechanisms, the study of structures and stereochemistry, and technological aspects.

Papers on polysaccharides should have a "molecular" component; that is a paper on new or modified polysaccharides should include structural information and characterization in addition to the usual studies of rheological properties and the like. A paper on a new, naturally occurring polysaccharide should include structural information, defining monosaccharide components and linkage sequence.

Papers devoted wholly or partly to X-ray crystallographic studies, or to computational aspects (molecular mechanics or molecular orbital calculations, simulations via molecular dynamics), will be considered if they meet certain criteria. For computational papers the requirements are that the methods used be specified in sufficient detail to permit replication of the results, and that the conclusions be shown to have relevance to experimental observations - the authors' own data or data from the literature. Specific directions for the presentation of X-ray data are given below under Results and "discussion".

《碳水化合物研究》发表碳水化合物科学以下领域的原创研究报告：酶的作用、分析化学、生物化学（生物合成、降解、结构和功能生物化学、构象、分子识别、酶机制、碳水化合物加工酶，包括糖苷酶和糖基转移酶）、化学合成、天然产物分离、物理化学研究、反应及其机制、结构和立体化学研究以及技术方面。

关于多糖的论文应该有一个“分子”部分；也就是说，关于新的或改良的多糖的论文除了通常的流变特性等研究外，还应该包括结构信息和特性。关于新天然多糖的论文应包括结构信息、单糖成分定义和连接序列。

如果论文完全或部分涉及 X 射线晶体学研究或计算方面（分子力学或分子轨道计算、通过分子动力学进行模拟），则将予以考虑，前提是它们符合某些标准。对于计算论文，要求使用的方法必须足够详细，以便能够复制结果，并且结论必须与实验观察结果相关 - 作者自己的数据或来自文献的数据。下文结果和“讨论”部分给出了 X 射线数据呈现的具体说明。

Carbohydrate Research创刊于1965年，由Elsevier BV出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖化学 - 生化与分子生物学全领域，此刊是中等级别的SCI期刊，所以过审相对来讲不是特别难，但是该刊专业认可度不错，仍然是一本值得选择的SCI期刊 。平均审稿速度 约3.0个月 约3.6周，影响因子指数2.4，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
