Annual Review of Biochemistry Abbreviation ISO4 - ResearchHelpDesk -   The Annual Review of Biochemistry, in publication since 1932, sets the standard for review articles in biological chemistry and molecular biology. Since its inception, these volumes have served as an indispensable resource for both the practising biochemist and students of biochemistry. The Annual Review of Biochemistry was the creation of Stanford University chemist and professor J. Murray Luck. In 1930, Luck offered a course on current research in biochemistry to graduate students. In designing the course, he said he felt "knee-deep in trouble", as he believed he was sufficiently knowledgeable in only a few areas of biochemistry. He considered the volume of research to be overwhelming; there were 6,500 abstracts regarding biochemistry published in Chemical Abstracts that year. Luck asked about 50 biochemists in the US, United Kingdom, and Canada if an annual volume of critical reviews on biochemistry research would be useful, to which he received positive responses. This correspondence provided possible authors and topics for his first several volumes. Stanford University Press agreed to publish the journal on a three-year contract, with financial assistance from the Chemical Foundation. Stanford University gave the journal rent-free office space in 1931 for editorial and business operations. Prior to this, Luck's only experience in the publishing industry was working for a summer as a book salesman in Western Canada. Volume 1 was published in July 1932, consisting of 30 reviews from 35 authors of nine different countries; the volume was 724 pages.[4] Luck was the founding editor of the Annual Review of Biochemistry and held the editorship for thirty-five years. At the completion of the contract with Stanford University Press, the advisory committee of the journal, which included Carl L. Alsberg, Denis Hoagland, and Carl L. A. Schmidt, decided to assume a legal identity as the journal's publisher, though keeping Stanford University Press as the printer. On December 12, 1934, they submitted articles of incorporation with the California Secretary of State to create Annual Review of Biochemistry, Ltd., which was organized as a nonprofit. In February 1938, the name was changed to Annual Reviews, Inc. Prior to World War II, about half of all review articles published each volume were from authors outside the US. The war caused international scientific communication to drop off dramatically, with international authorship at 25% in 1947. The breadth of material within each volume lessened when Annual Reviews added new titles in physiology and plant physiology.

自1932年出版以来，《生物化学年度评论》便成为了生物化学与分子生物学综述文章的标杆。自创刊伊始，这些卷册便成为实践生物化学家和生物化学学生不可或缺的资源。该《生物化学年度评论》由斯坦福大学化学家及教授J. Murray Luck所创。1930年，Luck为研究生开设了一门关于生物化学当前研究的课程。在设计该课程时，他自诩处于‘深陷困境’之中，因为他认为自己对生物化学的若干领域尚有足够的知识。他认为研究量浩瀚无边；当年《化学文摘》中有关生物化学的摘要就达6500篇。Luck询问了美国、英国和加拿大约50位生物化学家，询问是否需要一年一度的生物化学研究评论集，得到的回答均为肯定。这些通信为他前几卷提供了可能的作者和主题。斯坦福大学出版社同意以三年合同出版该期刊，并得到了化学基金会资助。1931年，斯坦福大学免费提供了办公空间以供编辑和商业运营。在此之前，Luck在出版行业的唯一经验是曾在加拿大西部做了一夏的书商。第一卷于1932年7月出版，由来自九个不同国家的35位作者的30篇评论组成，全书共724页。[4] Luck是该《生物化学年度评论》的创刊编辑，并担任了35年的编辑职位。在斯坦福大学出版社合同到期后，该期刊的顾问委员会，包括Carl L. Alsberg、Denis Hoagland和Carl L. A. Schmidt，决定以期刊出版者的身份承担法律身份，尽管仍由斯坦福大学出版社负责印刷。1934年12月12日，他们向加利福尼亚州州务卿提交了成立《生物化学年度评论》有限公司的章程，该公司作为非营利组织成立。1938年2月，公司名称改为《年度评论》有限公司。第二次世界大战之前，每卷发表的评论文章中约有一半来自美国以外的作者。战争导致国际科学交流急剧下降，1947年国际作者的份额降至25%。随着《年度评论》增加了生理学和植物生理学等新标题，每卷的内容广度有所减少。
