PROSTAGLANDINS LEUKOTRIENES AND ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS

Prostaglandins, Leukotrienes and Essential Fatty Acids is a monthly international peer-reviewed journal published by Elsevier in the United Kingdom, identified by the ISSN 0952-3278. The journal serves as a specialized platform for disseminating fundamental and clinical research concerning the biosynthesis, metabolism, and physiological roles of lipid mediators, with a particular emphasis on prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and essential fatty acids. Its scope encompasses the intricate mechanisms by which these compounds influence inflammation, immune regulation, metabolic processes, and cardiovascular health, drawing on interdisciplinary approaches from biochemistry, pharmacology, and molecular biology. As an SCI-indexed publication, it typically maintains an impact factor in the range of 3.0 to 4.0 and is generally classified in the third or fourth quartile of the Chinese Academy of Sciences journal ranking system within the medical and biological sciences. While the journal offers hybrid open access options, it remains a subscription-based outlet that publishes original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and short communications. Although it provides a viable venue for researchers in these specific fields, authors should consider its moderate standing in high-impact academic evaluations and carefully assess its suitability relative to their specific research goals and institutional requirements.
