About the journal
Process Biochemistry
|
Process Biochemistry is an industry-orientated research journal devoted to reporting advances in the science and technology of the application of living organisms to the production of materials for the benefit of mankind. Its main areas of interest are the biological process industries, including the food, drink, pharmaceutical, energy and waste and water treatment industries. |
 |
Topics covered include:
Immobilized cell and enzyme systems Industrial applications of enzymes Downstream processing Waste water reatment Processing of biological waste materials for novel product formation Expression of novel products in micro-organisms Solid state fermentations Physiological control of fermentation parameters [by-product recovery from food processing factories] Process enhancement, modelling and control.
In addition to its coverage of primary research in these areas, Process Biochemistry publishes:
Reviews of the literature Information on new products, plant and equipment New patents survey Book reviews Product and service finder Calendar of events Bibliography of process biochemistry
Instructions to Authors
Transfer of Copyright
All authors must sign the 'Transfer of Copyright' agreement before the article can be published. This transfer agreement enables Elsevier Science Ltd to protect the copyrighted material for the authors, but does not relinquish the author's proprietary rights. The copyright transfer covers the exclusive rights to reproduce and distribute the article, including reprints, photographic reproductions, microform or any other reproductions of similar nature and translations, and includes the right to adapt the article for use in conjunction with computer systems and programs, including reproduction or publication in machine-readable form and incorporation in retrieval systems. Authors are responsible for obtaining from the copyright holder permission to reproduce any figures for which copyright exists.
Submission of papers
Papers submitted to the journal must be original with clear definition of objectives, material used and methods applied and should not have been published or offered for publication elsewhere. Compactness of a paper together with consistency and precision in presentation will be considered as advantages for acceptance. All submissions will be reviewed by two referees. Three copies of the manuscript complete with copies of all figures and photographs should be submitted. Please also submit a disk with the manuscript. Below, authors will find instructions for the preparation of manuscripts. Strict adherence to these conventions of style will speed up the review and publication process.
In order to assist in a rapid review procedure, it is also possible to send the manuscript by e-mail to the Editor (processbiochemistry@blueyonder.co.uk), and advise the Editor by fax (+44 131 539 9031) of this submission.
All correspondence by e-mail to the Editors must contain the unique (PRBI) reference number in the subject line or "New paper submission". All correspondence which is not labelled as such will be deleted because of the potential presence of viruses.
Manuscripts preparation
Three copies should be provided,in double-spaced typing on pages of uniform size, with a wide margin at the left. Generally the size of the manuscript should be a minimum consistent with clarity. Each paper should be provided with an abstract of 100-150 words reporting concisely on the purposes and results of the paper, and also six keywords.
Authors should consult an issue of the journal for style and layout if possible. The Editors reserve the right to adjust style to certain standards of uniformity.
The title of the paper should unambiguously reflect its contents. Where the title exceeds 70 characters a suggestion for an abbreviated running title should be given.
The SI system should be used for all scientific and laboratory data: if, in certain instances, it is necessary to quote other units, these should be added in parentheses. Temperatures should be given in degrees Celsius. The unit 'billion' (109 in America, 1012 in Europe) is ambiguous and should not be used.
Abbreviations for units should follow the suggestions of the British Standards publication BS 1991. The full stop should not be included in abbreviations, e.g. m (not m.), ppm (not p.p.m.), ℅ and /' should be used in preference to 'per cent' and 'per'. Where abbreviations are likely to cause ambiguity or may not be readily understood by an international readership, units should be put in full.
Tables (numbered consecutively with arabic numerals), references and legends to illustrations should be typed on separate sheets and placed at the end of the paper.
Footnotes should be avoided especially if they contain information which could equally well be included in the text.
The use of proprietary names should be avoided. Papers essentially of an advertising nature will not be accepted.
Disks
For papers produced using a word-processor or TEX, please submit a disk with the manuscript. Please also submit a disk with any revised version and with the final revised version of the manuscript. The file on disk should correspond exactly to the hard copy. The operating system and the word-processor should be specified clearly.
Illustrations or chemicalstructures in electronic format may be supplied provided that the file format and the program used to produce them is clearly indicated and that a hard copy is also supplied.
More detailed guidelines and further information are available from the publisher.
References
References should be cited at the appropriate point in the text by a number in square brackets. A list of references, in numerical order, should appear at the end of the paper. All references in this list should be indicated at some point in the text and vice versa. Unpublished data or private communications should not appear in the list. Examples of layout of references are given below.

Illustrations
The original and two copies of each illustration should be provided. The copies may be of a reduced size, or photocopies. Line drawings should be in a form suitable for direct reproduction, in permanent black ink, with stencilled lettering (avoid using dry transfer or typewritten lettering). High-quality computer-generated line diagrams, or glossy prints, are also acceptable. The illustrations should preferably all require the same degree of reduction. The type area of the journal is 178 mm by 250 mm deep, in two columns per page, each 85 mm wide, and the lettering should therefore be large enough to be legible after reduction of the illustrations to fit the page width or column width. Photographs should be submitted as clear black-and-white prints on glossy paper. Each illustration must be clearly numbered and the title and author(s) of the paper written on the reverse side.
Proofs
The author (or the selected author where several are involved) will receive a set of proofs for checking. No new material may be inserted in the text at the time of proofreading unless accepted by the Editors.
All questions arising after the acceptance of manuscripts, especially those relating to proofs, should be directed to: Elsevier Sience Ireland Ltd., Elsevier House, Brookvale Plaza, East Park, Shannon, Co. Clare, Ireland. Phone (+353) 61-709-600; fax (+353) 61-709-111/113.
Page charges and offprints
There will be no page charges. Twenty-five offprints of each paper are supplied free of charge. Additional copies can be ordered at current printing prices.
