Database: The Journal of Biological Databases and Curation

Publisher: Oxford University Press

Huge volumes of primary data are currently archived in numerous open-access
databases, and with new generation technologies becoming more common in
laboratories, large datasets will become even more prevalent than today. The
archiving, curation, analysis and understanding of all of this data is a
challenge. 

Database: The Journal of Biological Databases and Curation provides a
platform for the presentation of novel ideas in database research
surrounding biological information, and aims to help strengthen the bridge
between database developers and users.

The journal will publish:

* Detailed descriptions of databases, and database tools, in the broad arena
of biology - authors are strongly encouraged to include a biological
discovery or a 'testable' hypothesis in their paper
* Shorter papers describing significant updates to established databases
* Objective reviews of complementary and ancillary databases and database
tools 
* User tutorials 
* Methodology and technical notes on database development

Descriptions of databases in all areas of biology are welcomed, including
biological chemistry, genomics, proteomics, glycomics, molecular biology,
biomedicine, physiology, ecology, zoology, and taxonomy.
