Journal Title：Biochemical Systematics And Ecology

Biochemical Systematics and Ecology is devoted to the publication of original papers and reviews, both submitted and invited, in two subject areas: I) the application of biochemistry to problems relating to systematic biology of organisms (biochemical systematics); II) the role of biochemistry in interactions between organisms or between an organism and its environment (biochemical ecology).

In the Biochemical Systematics subject area, comparative studies of the distribution of (secondary) metabolites within a wider taxon (e.g. genus or family) are welcome. Comparative studies, encompassing multiple accessions of each of the taxa within their distribution are particularly encouraged. Welcome are also studies combining classical chemosystematic studies (such as comparative HPLC-MS or GC-MS investigations) with (macro-) molecular phylogenetic studies. Studies that involve the comparative use of compounds to help differentiate among species such as adulterants or substitutes that illustrate the applied use of chemosystematics are welcome. In contrast, studies solely employing macromolecular phylogenetic techniques (gene sequences, RAPD studies etc.) will be considered out of scope. Discouraged are manuscripts that report known or new compounds from a single source taxon without addressing a systematic hypothesis. Also considered out of scope are studies using outdated and hard to reproduce macromolecular techniques such as RAPDs in combination with standard chemosystematic techniques such as GC-FID and GC-MS.

《生化系統學和生態學》致力于發表原創論文和評論，包括提交的和受邀的，涉及兩個主題領域：I）生物化學在生物系統生物學相關問題中的應用（生化系統學）；II）生物化學在生物之間或生物與其環境之間的相互作用中的作用（生化生態學）。

在生化系統學主題領域，歡迎對更廣泛分類單元（例如屬或科）內（次級）代謝物的分布進行比較研究。特別鼓勵比較研究，涵蓋其分布范圍內每個分類單元的多個種屬。還歡迎將經典化學系統學研究（如比較 HPLC-MS 或 GC-MS 研究）與（宏觀）分子系統發育研究相結合的研究。歡迎涉及比較使用化合物來幫助區分物種（例如摻假物或替代品）的研究，這些研究說明了化學系統學的應用。相反，僅采用大分子系統發育技術（基因序列、RAPD 研究等）的研究將被視為超出范圍。不鼓勵報告來自單一來源分類群的已知或新化合物而不解決系統假設的稿件。使用過時且難以復制的大分子技術（如 RAPD）與標準化學系統技術（如 GC-FID 和 GC-MS）相結合的研究也被認為超出范圍。

Biochemical Systematics And Ecology創刊于1974年，由Elsevier Ltd出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋生物 - 進化生物學全領域，此期刊水平偏中等偏靠后，在所屬細分領域中專業影響力一般，過審相對較易，如果您文章質量佳，選擇此期刊，發表機率較高。平均審稿速度 約3.8個月 約8.5周，影響因子指數1.4，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。
