《肽科學(xué)雜志》是約翰威利父子有限公司和歐洲肽學(xué)會為促進(jìn)國際肽科學(xué)的發(fā)展而發(fā)起的一項合作項目，通過發(fā)表最初的研究結(jié)果和評論。有兩種類型的原創(chuàng)文章被接受全文和快速溝通。該期刊大部分的論文都是關(guān)于該領(lǐng)域已經(jīng)成熟的大量實驗性（或偶爾理論性）研究的權(quán)威報告。它們是傳統(tǒng)類型，包括適當(dāng)長度的結(jié)果討論和評估以及實驗細(xì)節(jié)。如果編輯認(rèn)為必要，完整的論文將被視為加速出版。兩到四頁印刷品的快速交流，要么是緊急出版的重要工作的初步報告，要么是關(guān)于具體問題的簡明明確報告。評論通常是邀請的，但我們歡迎任何人的建議，特別是潛在貢獻(xiàn)者的建議，他們應(yīng)該在開始工作之前聯(lián)系總編輯或其中一位編輯。該雜志的范圍涵蓋了肽化學(xué)和生物學(xué)的整個范圍：天然肽的分離特征、合成特性（化學(xué)物理構(gòu)象、藥理、內(nèi)分泌和免疫）和應(yīng)用；其類似物的研究，包括肽組學(xué)；肽抗生素和其他肽受體。復(fù)雜天然產(chǎn)物；肽和肽相關(guān)藥物的設(shè)計與開發(fā)；肽材料科學(xué)；組合肽研究；蛋白質(zhì)的化學(xué)體系；以及所有這些領(lǐng)域的方法學(xué)進(jìn)展。歐洲-美洲和日本肽學(xué)會的定期國際研討會的出版記錄充分說明了這一興趣范圍。

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.
