Aim and Scope


Molecular systems biology is an integrative discipline that seeks to explain the properties and behaviour of complex biological systems in terms of their molecular components and their interactions.

Molecular Systems Biology is a peer-reviewed author-pays online journal that publishes full-length papers and accompanying synopses describing original research in the field of molecular systems biology and which focuses on the analysis, integration and modeling of molecular and cellular phenomena. Since molecular systems biology relies on a variety of computational and high-throughput technologies, the journal makes full use of the online to allow reader interaction with data and models presented in the published articles.


About Molecular Systems Biology


Molecular Systems Biology is a journal covering the technologies/fields/categories related to Agricultural and Biological Sciences (miscellaneous) (Q1); Applied Mathematics (Q1); Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (miscellaneous) (Q1); Computational Theory and Mathematics (Q1); Immunology and Microbiology (miscellaneous) (Q1); Information Systems (Q1); Medicine (miscellaneous) (Q1). It is published by Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH. The overall rank of Molecular Systems Biology is 310. According to SCImago Journal Rank (SJR), this journal is ranked 4.783. SCImago Journal Rank is an indicator, which measures the scientific influence of journals. It considers the number of citations received by a journal and the importance of the journals from where these citations come. SJR acts as an alternative to the Journal Impact Factor (or an average number of citations received in last 2 years). This journal has an h-index of 178. The best quartile for this journal is Q1.

The ISSN of Molecular Systems Biology journal is 17444292. An International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) is a unique code of 8 digits.

How to publish in Molecular Systems Biology


If your research field is/are related to Agricultural and Biological Sciences (miscellaneous) (Q1); Applied Mathematics (Q1); Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (miscellaneous) (Q1); Computational Theory and Mathematics (Q1); Immunology and Microbiology (miscellaneous) (Q1); Information Systems (Q1); Medicine (miscellaneous) (Q1), then please visit the official website of this journal.


Acceptance Rate


The acceptance rate/percentage of any academic journal/conference depends upon many parameters. Some of the critical parameters are listed below.

  • The demand or interest of researchers/scientists in publishing in a specific Journal/Conference.
  • Peer review complexity and timeline.
  • The mix of unsolicited and invited submissions.
  • The time it takes from manuscript submission to final publication.
  • And Many More.

It is essential to understand that the acceptance rate/rejection rate of papers varies among journals. Some Journals considers all the manuscripts submissions as a basis of acceptance rate computation. On the other hand, few consider the only manuscripts sent for peer review or few even not bother about the accurate maintenance of total submissions. Hence, it can provide a rough estimation only.

The best way to find out the acceptance rate is to reach out to the associated editor or to check the official website of the Journal/Conference.
