About the journal
Indexed/abstracted in: MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science
Scope
Molecular Omics publishes molecular level experimental and bioinformatics research in the -omics sciences. We welcome multi-omics studies combining different types of omics including genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics and metabolomics, alongside studies focussing on singular omics areas. Topics include:
- Omics studies to gain mechanistic insight into biological processes - for example, determining the mode of action of a drug, or the basis of a particular phenotype, such as drought tolerance
- Omics studies for clinical applications, with validation, such as finding biomarkers for diagnostics or potential new drug targets
- Omics studies looking at the sub-cellular make-up of cells - for example, the subcellular localisation of certain proteins or post-translational modifications, and new imaging techniques
- Studies presenting new tools to support omics studies, including new spectroscopic/chromatographic techniques, chip-based/array technologies and new classification/data analysis techniques
Molecular Omics only accepts articles which are of high importance and interest, providing significant new insight into important chemical or biological problems; either fundamental research which significantly increases understanding, or research which demonstrates clear functional benefits.
Papers reporting new results which could be routinely predicted, which do not show a significant improvement over known research, or which are of interest only to the specialist in the area are not suitable for publication in the journal.

Instructions to Authors
Journal specific guidelines
The following guidelines are journal specific. For general guidance on preparing an article please visit our Prepare your article page, the content of which is relevant to all of our journals.
Data requirements for submission
On submission of a manuscript authors should provide all data required to understand and verify the research presented in the article; these should be submitted in the following ways:
- All original raw datasets essential for the results and conclusion of the manuscript, especially X-Ray crystallographic data and macromolecular structure and sequence data, should be deposited in publicly available repositories (find list of recommended databases in the respective sections below), and accession numbers should be provided in the manuscript. As an alternative the datasets should be presented in the ESI in a machine-readable format (for example, spreadsheets instead of pdf); each manuscript should state data availability in a separate section in the manuscript.
- All other required data, for example, small molecule characterisation data, should be submitted as electronic supplementary information. See also our general RSC guidelines for experimental data for additional information.
Referees should be able to access those data during the peer-review process, and public release should be coordinated with publication of the manuscript.
The Royal Society of Chemistry believes that, where possible, all data associated with the research in a manuscript should be freely available in an accessible and usable format, enabling other researchers to replicate and build on that research. Therefore, in addition to providing the data required for submission (as detailed above) we encourage authors to deposit as much data as possible that is related to the research in their article.
Data submission information
Post-acquisition processing of data
All image acquisition and processing tools (including their settings) should be clearly stated in the manuscript. The amount of post-acquisition processing of data should be kept to a minimum. Any type of alteration such as image processing, cropping and groupings should be clearly stated in the figure caption and the ESI (clearly describing the process of alteration). Data manipulation (for example, normalisation or handling of missing values) should be given.
Image processing changes should be applied to the entire image as well as all other images it is compared to. Processed images should still represent all the original data (with no data missing) and touch-up tools should be avoided.
For each blot and gel, all positive and negative controls and molecular size markers (for example, protein ladder) should be shown (if not in the main figure at least in the ESI). Important bands should not be cropped in gels and cropped blots should retain at least six band widths above and below the band. If part of a gel is shown in the main text, the full picture of the same uncropped gel should be given in the ESI. High contrast gels and blots are not recommended to avoid masking of additional bands; a grey background is highly encouraged. Only results of comparable experiments should be compared.
Genuine and relevant signals in spectra must not be lost due to image enhancement.
Microscopy images of cells from multiple fields should not be compared but shown as single images (at least in the ESI).
Authors might be asked during peer review to provide the original unprocessed data to the editors/reviewers of the journal.
Guidelines on writing titles, abstracts & table of contents information
The title, abstract and graphical abstract are the first parts of your manuscript that editors, referees and potential readers will see, and once published they play a major part in a researcher’s decision to read your article. Therefore it’s important that these clearly and concisely show the main findings of your research and why they are important.
