About the journal
Aims and scope
Encompassing the broad spectrum of epigenetics research from basic research to innovations in therapeutic treatments, Clinical Epigenetics is a top tier, open access journal devoted to the study of epigenetic principles and mechanisms as applied to human development, disease, diagnosis and treatment. The journal particularly welcomes submissions involving clinical trials, translational research, new and innovative methodologies and model organisms providing mechanistic insights. The journal is divided into the following sections:
Aging and development epigenetics
Allergy, immunology, and pathogen epigenetics
Cancer epigenetics and diagnostics
Cardiovascular epigenetics
Endocrinology and metabolic epigenetics
Environmental epigenetics
Epigenetic biomarkers
Epigenetic technologies
Epigenetic drugs and clinical trials
Innovative therapies
Lifestyle epigenetics
Neurology and psychiatry epigenetics
Regenerative medicine
Reproductive and transgenerational epigenetics

Editorial Policy on Submissions Involving RNAs
Differential RNA expression levels (coding or non-coding) or RNA modifications cannot be considered as part of epigenetics, and this includes levels of the RNA modifying enzymes or readers.
The fact that non-coding RNAs might affect other genes at their RNA level classifies these molecules as post-transcriptional gene expression regulators. Although modification of RNAs resembles modifications of DNA or histone proteins, so do post-translational modifications of various proteins. As such, RNAs modifiers as a class of regulators are not different from protein-modifiers, which also are not considered part of epigenetics per se.
For manuscripts on non-coding RNAs to be considered for publication in Clinical Epigenetics, the authors must provide at least one of the following:
- data on the molecular epigenetic regulation of the expression of non-coding RNA (or its modifying enzymes); or
- insights on the mechanism of action of the non-coding RNA on the functioning of the DNA; or
- insights in mitotic stability of the RNA-induced effect.
Open access
All articles published by Clinical Epigenetics are made freely and permanently accessible online immediately upon publication, without subscription charges or registration barriers. Further information about open access can be found here.
As authors of articles published in Clinical Epigenetics you are the copyright holders of your article and have granted to any third party, in advance and in perpetuity, the right to use, reproduce or disseminate your article, according to the BMC license agreement.
For those of you who are US government employees or are prevented from being copyright holders for similar reasons, BMC can accommodate non-standard copyright lines. Please contact us if further information is needed.
Article-processing charges
Open access publishing is not without costs. Clinical Epigenetics therefore levies an article-processing charge of £2290.00/$3170.00/€2570.00 for each article accepted for publication, plus VAT or local taxes where applicable.
If the corresponding author's institution participates in our open access membership program, some or all of the publication cost may be covered (more details available on the membership page). We routinely waive charges for authors from low-income countries. For other countries, article-processing charge waivers or discounts are granted on a case-by-case basis to authors with insufficient funds. Authors can request a waiver or discount during the submission process. For further details, see our article-processing charge page.
BMC provides a free open access funding support service to help authors discover and apply for article processing charge funding. Visit our OA funding and policy support page to view our list of research funders and institutions that provide funding for APCs, and to learn more about our email support service.
