Journal Title：Carbohydrate Research

Carbohydrate Research publishes reports of original research in the following areas of carbohydrate science: action of enzymes, analytical chemistry, biochemistry (biosynthesis, degradation, structural and functional biochemistry, conformation, molecular recognition, enzyme mechanisms, carbohydrate-processing enzymes, including glycosidases and glycosyltransferases), chemical synthesis, isolation of natural products, physicochemical studies, reactions and their mechanisms, the study of structures and stereochemistry, and technological aspects.

Papers on polysaccharides should have a "molecular" component; that is a paper on new or modified polysaccharides should include structural information and characterization in addition to the usual studies of rheological properties and the like. A paper on a new, naturally occurring polysaccharide should include structural information, defining monosaccharide components and linkage sequence.

Papers devoted wholly or partly to X-ray crystallographic studies, or to computational aspects (molecular mechanics or molecular orbital calculations, simulations via molecular dynamics), will be considered if they meet certain criteria. For computational papers the requirements are that the methods used be specified in sufficient detail to permit replication of the results, and that the conclusions be shown to have relevance to experimental observations - the authors' own data or data from the literature. Specific directions for the presentation of X-ray data are given below under Results and "discussion".

《碳水化合物研究》發表碳水化合物科學以下領域的原創研究報告：酶的作用、分析化學、生物化學（生物合成、降解、結構和功能生物化學、構象、分子識別、酶機制、碳水化合物加工酶，包括糖苷酶和糖基轉移酶）、化學合成、天然產物分離、物理化學研究、反應及其機制、結構和立體化學研究以及技術方面。

關于多糖的論文應該有一個“分子”部分；也就是說，關于新的或改良的多糖的論文除了通常的流變特性等研究外，還應該包括結構信息和特性。關于新天然多糖的論文應包括結構信息、單糖成分定義和連接序列。

如果論文完全或部分涉及 X 射線晶體學研究或計算方面（分子力學或分子軌道計算、通過分子動力學進行模擬），則將予以考慮，前提是它們符合某些標準。對于計算論文，要求使用的方法必須足夠詳細，以便能夠復制結果，并且結論必須與實驗觀察結果相關 - 作者自己的數據或來自文獻的數據。下文結果和“討論”部分給出了 X 射線數據呈現的具體說明。

Carbohydrate Research創刊于1965年，由Elsevier BV出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋化學 - 生化與分子生物學全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 約3.0個月 約3.6周，影響因子指數2.4，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
