Annual Review of Biochemistry

The Annual Review of Biochemistry (ISSN 0066-4154) is a prestigious, peer-reviewed review journal published annually by Annual Reviews in the United States, serving as a leading resource for the global biochemistry community. As a non-open access publication indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI), the journal maintains an exceptional reputation, evidenced by its 2022 impact factor of 16.6 and its classification as a Q1 journal in the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) ranking for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. The journal exclusively publishes comprehensive, high-quality review articles authored by distinguished experts in the field, offering in-depth synthesis of current research trends and foundational knowledge in areas such as molecular mechanisms, protein structure, metabolic pathways, and signal transduction. While the journal does not typically accept original research articles, its rigorous editorial standards and authoritative content make it an indispensable reference for understanding the state of the art in biochemistry, although the high barrier to entry reflects the exclusive nature of its invited contributions.
