Call for papers for Lipids Insights from Tim Levine

The explosion in molecular research continues to gather momentum. Lipid research is uncovering fascinating aspects of biology, as well as significant findings relating lipid production. As with any biological system, the more we know, the more we realise we still do not know. For example, in the field of lipid production there are economic intetrests in maxmising their production as sources of energy for animal consumption and for motor fuel. And at the same time, the excess consuption of lipids by our own species is of huge medical interest, as it has caused a world-wide epidemic of obesity and metabolic syndrome.

Lipid Insights is a new peer-reviewed open access journal specialising on all aspects of lipid biology: synthesis, biochemistry, biophysics, regulation, traffic (intracellular and extracellular), physiology, pharmacology, toxicology, new compounds, oleochemistry and industrial applications. Its whole ethos is geared to make your publications suit your needs and achieve a high profile.

What is the advantage to you of publishing in Lipid Insights?
  • Full open access: everyone can read your article and you retain copyright in it
  • Publishing decision within 2 weeks of submission
  • Your paper will not be rejected due to lack of space and will be published immediately on acceptance
  • Prompt and fair peer review from two expert peer reviewers
  • Frequent updates on your paper’s status
  • Friendly responsive staff
Aims and scope:

Lipid Insights is a journal that publishes papers in all areas of lipids-related research.

What a previous author said:
"The publishing process of this journal was a most pleasant and productive experience. I was particularly impressed with the regular updates of the progress of my submission. Many other journals receive a submission and authors may not hear anything for months. I appreciate your notification policy."
In summary:

The advantages of a younger journal such as Lipid Insights are numerous but in essence allow us a greater flexibility and responsiveness to authors and readers that older journals cannot match.

Next steps:

Yours sincerely,
Dr Tim Levine

Editor-in-Chief
Lipids Insights
