About the journal
The Journal of Peptide Science is a cooperative venture of John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and the European Peptide Society, undertaken for the advancement of international peptide science by the publication of original research results and reviews.
Two types of original article are accepted, full papers and rapid communications. Full papers, which make up the greater part of the Journal are definitive reports on substantial experimental (or, occasionally, theoretical) investigations in the field which have reached maturity. They are of the traditional kind, comprising discussion and evaluation of the results at appropriate length, together with experimental detail. If deemed necessary by the Editors, full papers will be treated as accelerated publications. Rapid communications of two to four printed pages are either preliminary reports of important work meriting urgent publication, or concise definitive reports on specific points.
Reviews are usually by invitation, but we shall welcome suggestions from anyone and especially offers from potential contributors, who should contact the Editor-in-Chief or one of the Editors before starting work.
The scope of the Journal embraces the whole range of peptide chemistry and biology: the isolation, characterisation, synthesis properties (chemical, physical, conformational, pharmacological, endocrine and immunological) and applications of natural peptides; studies of their analogues, including peptidomimetics; peptide antibiotics and other peptide-derived complex natural products; peptide and peptide-related drug design and development; peptide materials science; combinatorial peptide research; the chemical sysnthesis of proteins; and methodological advances in all these areas. The spectrum of interests is well illustrated by the published Proceedings of the regular international Symposia of the European, American, and Japanese Peptide Societies.
Instructions to Authors
Initial manuscript submission. Submit four copies of the manuscript (including copies of tables and illustrations) to the nearest Editor or the Editor-in-Chief, taking into account the area of expertise and geographical convenience. The Journal publishes Original Articles, Review Articles and Rapid Communications.
Authors must also supply:
- an electronic copy of the final version (see section below),
- a Copyright Transfer Agreement with original signature(s) - without this we are unable to accept the submission, and
- permission grants - if the manuscript contains extracts, including illustrations, from other copyright works (including material from on-line or intranet sources) it is the author's responsibility to obtain written permission from the owners of the publishing rights to reproduce such extracts using the Wiley Permission Request Form. Permission grants should be submitted with the manuscript.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been previously published and should not be submitted for publication elsewhere while they are under consideration by Wiley. Submitted material will not be returned to the author unless specifically requested.
Electronic submission. The electronic copy of the final, revised manuscript must be sent to the Editor together with the paper copy. Disks should be PC or Mac formatted; write on the disk the software package used, the name of the author and the name of the journal. We are able to use most word processing packages, but prefer Word or WordPerfect.
Illustrations must be submitted in electronic format where possible. Save each figure as a separate file, in TIFF or EPS format preferably, and include the source file. Write on the disk the software package used to create them; we favour dedicated illustration packages over tools such as Excel or Powerpoint.
Manuscript style. The language of the journal is English. All submissions, including book reviews, must have a title, be printed on one side of the paper, be double-line spaced and have a margin of 3 cm all round. Illustrations and tables must be printed on separate sheets, and not be incorporated into the text.
- The title page must list the full title, short title of up to 70 characters, and names and affiliations of all authors. Give the full address, including e-mail, telephone and fax, of the author who is to check the proofs.
- Include the name(s) of any sponsor(s) of the research contained in the paper, along with grant number(s).
- Supply an abstract of up to 300 words for all articles, except book reviews. An abstract should be a concise summary of the whole paper, not just the conclusions, and should be understandable without reference to the rest of the paper.
- Include up to eight keywords that describe your paper for indexing purposes.
Organisation of manuscript. The text should be divided into the following sections: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion and References. The combination Results and Discussion is acceptable, however a further short paragraph Conclusions is required in this case. Alternatively a paper may be divided into an (unlabelled) Theoretical Part which combines introduction, results as well as discussion sections and an Experimental Part at the end. Hybrids of the two formats are not acceptable. Sufficient experimental detail must be provided to allow repetition of the work and for special materials and equipment the manufacturer’s name and location should be provided. New compounds should be adequately characterised.
Review Articles. With regard to Review Articles see the explanations given in ‘Aims and Scope? Contact the Editor-in-Chief or one of the Editors if you wish to submit contributions under this heading.
Rapid Communications of usually not more than 4 pages (see Aims and Scope) require an abstract and should be organised similarly to full-length papers. It is recommended to use the Theoretical Part/Experimental Part format. Rapid Communications may be submitted to an Editor or the Editor-in-Chief.
Nomenclature. For nomenclature, abbreviations, symbols and conventions the information should be used which can be found in J. Biological Chemistry 1985; 260: 16-42 or (identical) in European J. Biochemistry 1984; 138: 9-37.
Reference style. References should be cited as superscript numbers and listed at the end of the paper in the order in which they appear in the text. Authors should cite all available published work. Online citations should include date of access. If necessary, cite unpublished or personal work in the text but do not include them in the reference list. References should be listed in the following style:
- Cavallaro V, Thompson P, Hearn M. Solid Phase Synthesis of Cyclic Peptides: Model Studies involving i - (i +4) Side Chain-to-Side Chain Cyclisation. J. Peptide Sci. 1998; 4: 335-343.
- Saeed N. Magnetic resonance image segmentation using pattern recognition, and applied to image registration and quantitation. NMR Biomed. 1998; 11: 157-167.
Illustrations. Supply each illustration on a separate sheet, with the lead author’s name, figure number and orientation on the reverse. Supply original photographs; photocopies or previously printed material will not be used. Line artwork must be high-quality laser output (not photocopies). Use hatching, not tints; lettering must be of a reasonable size that would still be clearly legible in case of reduction, and consistent within each figure and set of figures. Supply artwork at the intended size for printing.
The cost of printing colour illustrations in the journal will be charged to the author. If colour illustrations are supplied electronically in either TIFF or EPS format, they may be used in the PDF of the article at no cost to the author, even if this illustration was printed in black and white in the journal. The PDF will appear on the Wiley InterScience website.
Chemical structures. Chemical structures should be prepared in either 80 mm (one column) or 168 mm (two column) widths. However, the one-column format should be used whenever possible as this allows greater flexibility in the layout of the manuscript. Chemical structures should be supplied at the same size as the intended printed version (so no enlargement or reduction is required).

Authors using different structural drawing programs should choose settings consistent with those above. Compound numbers should be bold, but not atom labels or captions.
Copyright. In order to enable the publisher to disseminate the author's work to the fullest extent, the author must sign a Copyright Transfer Agreement, transferring copyright in the article from the author to the publisher, and submit the original signed agreement with the article presented for publication. A copy of the agreement to be used (which may be photocopied) can be found in each volume of the Journal of Peptide Science. Copies may also be obtained from the journal editor or publisher, or may be printed from this website.
Further information. Typeset proofs will be sent to the author for checking. This stage is to be used only to correct errors that may have been introduced during the production process. Prompt return of the corrected proofs, preferably within two days of receipt, will minimise the risk of the paper being held over to a later issue. The 25 complimentary offprints will be provided to the author who checked the proofs, unless otherwise indicated. There is no page charge to authors. Although the Journal is the official journal of the European Peptide Society, it is equally open to all authors in the field.
Authors in Japan please note. Wiley-Japan can provide authors in Japan with a list of recommended services to check and improve the English of their papers before submission. Please contact Masayo Kobayashi in the Wiley-Japan office by e-mail (editorial@wiley.co.jp) or fax (03 3556 9763) for more information, stating which journal you are submitting to.
