Proteomics is nothing but the wide scale study of proteins. “Proteins” being the major component of all the physiological metabolic pathways, are the life-sustaining particle of all the living organisms. Bioinformatics is the combinative study of the informatics processes in biotic systems. It merges information technology and biology. |
| • |
The Open Access Journals are those which are freely available and accessible online to the reader. They neither have financial nor legal barriers. The proteomics & bioinformatics publication under the open access category ensures the peer-reviewed biomedical research. |
| • |
Journal of Proteomics & Bioinformatics (JPB) furnishes all aspects of global protein analysis and function between the physical and life sciences to understand the biological processes. These types of journals call for a substantial effort to mine and interpret the data. The journals are specifically provoked in manuscripts that integrate functional or structural proteomic analysis using bioinformatics concepts and intramural views. This supports the journals which publishes original research articles in all areas of experiment and applied proteome bioinformatics. In past years JPB has been showing tremendous citations and articles focusing the most advanced research trends. |
| • |
This journal in the open access category is expected to have voluminous impact on the areas of scientific and engineering globally. Proteomics and bioinformatics are fast emerging as an important discipline for academic research and industrial applications. The functional analysis and interpretation of large-scale proteomics and gene expression data require effective use of bioinformatics tools and public knowledge resources coupled with expert’s research. Journal of Proteomics & Bioinformatics invigorate the innovative developments, research issues and solutions in the field of proteomics and bioinformatics with their applications. |
| • |
The main objective is to promote and develop the coordination between the sciences for the practice of proteomics “in and with” bioinformatics. This helps to introduce new algorithms to handle large and heterogeneous biological data sets and to improve the content in it. |

JPB is using online manuscript submission, review and tracking systems of Editorial Manager® for quality and quick review processing. Review processing is performed by the editorial board members of JPB or outside experts; at least two independent reviewers approval followed by editor approval is required for acceptance of any citable manuscript. |
| • |
The JPB under the open access category is much more improved than the traditional publications. It allows the free, faster and unconstrained access to the scientific research and their results. The scientists, who needs change (or) are excited about the changes, now prefer the open access journals/publications than the routine to magnify and pass around their knowledge. JPB encourages and also depends upon data interpretation, efforts and analysis of proteome data using the bioinformatics solutions (tools and inbuilt concepts) and conceptual advances in protein biology. |

OMICS Publishing Group is ardent to open access. We strongly believe that removing barriers to research published online will greatly aid to the progress in OMICS scientific and technical disciplines. |
| • |
JPB will keep up to date with latest advances in the field and papers published in JPB will reach the readers directly by email for free of cost. |
| • |
Distributed widely through the Internet. |
| • |
Archived online in the transactions of the OMICS Publishing Group, which provides the international scientific community with immediate and permanent access to individual papers. |
| • |
JPB accepts online letters to the editors, brief comments that contribute to the previously published articles or other relevant findings in OMICS field. |
| • |
Open Access is a publication model that enables the dissemination of research articles to the global community without restriction usually through the internet. Thus, all articles published under open access can be accessed by anyone with internet connection. JPB strongly supports the Open Access initiative. Abstracts and full texts (HTML, PDF and XML format) of all articles published by JPB are freely accessible to everyone immediately after publication. |

Definition of Open Access Publication |
| • |
An Open Access Publication is one that meets the following two conditions: |
| 1 |
The author(s) and copyright holder(s) grant(s) to all users a free, irrevocable, worldwide, perpetual right of access to, and a license to copy, use, distribute, transmit and display the work publicly and to make and distribute derivative works, in any digital medium for any responsible purpose, subject to proper attribution of authorship, as well as the right to make small numbers of printed copies for their personal use. |
| 2 |
A complete version of the work and all supplemental materials, including a copy of the permission as stated above, in a suitable standard electronic format is deposited immediately upon initial publication in at least one online repository that is supported by an academic institution, scholarly society, government agency, or other well-established organization that seeks to enable open access, unrestricted distribution, interoperability, and long-term archiving (for the biomedical sciences, PubMed Central is such a repository). |
|
Notes: |
| • |
Open access is a property of individual works! |
| • |
Community standards, rather than copyright law, will continue to provide the mechanism for enforcement of proper attribution and responsible use of the published work, as they do now. |
