Journal of Lipid Research

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Lipid Research (JLR) publishes original articles and reviews in the broadly defined area of biological lipids.

We encourage the submission of manuscripts relating to lipids, including those addressing problems in biochemistry, molecular biology, structural biology, cell biology, genetics, molecular medicine, clinical medicine and metabolism.

Major criteria for acceptance of articles are new insights into mechanisms of lipid function and metabolism and/or genes regulating lipid metabolism along with sound primary experimental data.

Interpretation of the data is the authors’ responsibility, and speculation should be labeled as such.

Manuscripts that provide new ways of purifying, identifying and quantifying lipids are invited for the Methods section of the Journal.

JLR encourages contributions from investigators in all countries, but articles must be submitted in clear and concise English.
