About the journal
|
BAMBED is a publication aimed at promoting quality biochemistry and molecular biology education, and education in related fields such as microbiology and cell biology, worldwide. BAMBED includes articles on:
- Teaching techniques and practices
- Methods of assessment of the effectiveness of new educational approaches
- Research in biochemistry and molecular biology education
- Short reviews on key areas of biochemical knowledge from workers, active in the field and intended to provide background material for the preparation of lectures, seminars, student presentations, dissertations, etc.

Instructions to Authors
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education is an international journal devoted to the publication of news, reviews and original papers with the object of improving the teaching of biochemistry and molecular biology to students at all levels of education. Manuscripts (three copies) containing new ideas concerning any aspect of the teaching of biochemistry or molecular biology, including laboratory class experiments, are welcomed and should be sent to Professor Donald Voet, Chemistry Department, University of Pennsylvania, 231 South 34th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104-6323, USA. Tel: + 1 215 898 6457:Fax: + 1 215 898 5747; E-mail: voet@sas.upenn.edu. Authors may now submit manuscripts as E-maill attachments or on 3.5 disks. Email submissions and Disks should be clearly marked with the following information (where appropriate): operating system, disk format (e.g. DS/DD), word-processor package used including version number, authors' names, short title of article. Two copies of the final version should be submitted along with the disk.
Contributions should be written concisely in English and should be typed on 8.5x11 inch or A4 paper (approx. 210 x 300 mm) using double-spacing with 30-40 mm margins. All articles should include a brief, informative abstract or summary that will be printed at the beginning of the paper. Three or four keywords should also be included for searching purposes, as well as a running title of less than 60 characters. Brief articles are likely to be published more rapidly than longer ones because the number of printed pages per year is fixed. Authors should familiarize themselves with the style of articles by perusing a recent issue of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education. Several types of article are published. General Articles on all aspects of biochemistry and molecular biology education are published: Articles are welcomed on innovative teaching techniques and practice in all areas related to these fields, and on methods of assessment of the effectiveness of new educational approaches. Articles are also encouraged on research in biochemistry and molecular biology education. Short reviews will be accepted or solicited from time to time on key areas of biochemical knowledge from workers active in the field. Such reviews are intended to provide background material for the preparation of lectures. They should preferably not exceed 3000-5000 words with 3-5 diagrams or tables, and references listed should be representative rather than comprehensive. Articles providing details of simple, tried and tested, laboratory experiments are especially encouraged. Accounts of experiments should give adequate experimental detail, and it is expected that the experiments will have been 'tried and tested'. Comments on student reaction are helpful, as are 'study questions'. See below for more detailed instructions for submission of laboratory experiments. Those interested in secondary school outreach may submit papers aimed at increasing awareness of college and university faculty toward possibilities for contributing to the ongoing education of secondary school teachers. Articles correcting textbook errors and articles on computer assisted learning are also accepted. Simple experiments requiring inexpensive equipment and materials are required by many teachers and articles detailing these are encouraged. In addition, a fully accessible website is being developed that will be updated frequently and will accept and review multimedia materials such as computer graphics-based tutorials on macromolecular structure and Java- and Shockwavebased tutorials on most aspects of biochemistry and molecular biology.
Although every effort is made by the publisher and editorial board to see that no inaccurate or misleading data, opinion or statement appear in this journal, they wish to make it clear that the data and opinions appearing in the articles and advertisements herein are the sole responsibility of the contributor or advertiser concerned. Accordingly, the publishers, the editorial board and editors and their respective employees, officers and agents accept no responsibility or liability whatsoever for the consequences of any such inaccurate or misleading data, opinion or statement.
Abbreviations such as those used in the Biochemical Journal(http://www.biochemj.org/bj/329/bj3290001.htm#table1) may be used without definition: other abbreviations should be defined. Figures will be reproduced directly and line drawings are preferred. Color figures are encouraged where educationally valuable. Photographs are acceptable and must be original, glossy, contrast prints. Color prints are encouraged where educationally valuable. The printer will generally reduce figures and authors should take account of this in their preparation. Legends should be typed on separate sheets.
References should be cited in the text in numerical order in square brackets (e.g. [1] or [1-3]). If a reference is cited more than once the same number should be used each time. The references should be listed at the end of the article in numerical order in the following form [NOTE: This is a change of format (January 1, 2002)]:

Detailed Instructions for Submissions of Laboratory Experiments Authors submitting manuscripts for consideration that describe laboratory experiments should in addition to the general authors guidelines, adhere to the following:
1. Experiments should be described in full detail including background theory, any pre-laboratory preparation by the student such as a discussion of appropriate background laboratory skills or problem sets, expected data analysis and discussion, and expected data presentation[including suggested worksheets etc] and write-up by the students. Authors should explain how the experiment serves as a teaching tool including the pedagogical reasons for using it. The description of the experiment should clearly indicate the allotted time or number of time blocks required to conduct the experiment.
2. The authors must submit sample data obtained by a) a student or student team, and b) the instructor. If the experiment requires a student team appropriate distribution of labor should be discussed.
3. The authors should include some discussion as to typical student pitfalls that might be encountered in the laboratory.
4. The authors should include Set Up sheets with sufficient detail to allow a technician to set up the reagents and equipment required for the laboratory.
5. The authors should include a list of relevant web sites that provide either simulations of the protocols or equipment used or detail useful to the experiment.
6. The authors should include one or two references to the scientific literature where the technique or principles illustrated by the laboratory are used in a research setting. It is also appropriate to discuss how the experiment might be used in a linked series of laboratories to more appropriately mimic a "research" environment.
7. Authors should outline safety issues including hazadous reagents or conditions and describe disposal of reagents and products.
