Annual Review of Biochemistry Publication fee - 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.

《生物化学年度评论》自1932年出版以来，确立了生物学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及生物化学学子不可或缺的参考资料。该《生物化学年度评论》由斯坦福大学化学家及教授J. Murray Luck所创立。1930年，Luck为研究生开设了一门关于生物化学最新研究课程的课程。在设计该课程时，他坦言自己感到“深陷困境”，因为他相信自己在生物化学的少数领域内知识尚可。他认为研究量浩如烟海；当年《化学文摘》上发表了6,500篇关于生物化学的摘要。Luck询问了美国、英国和加拿大约50位生物化学家，询问他们是否需要一本关于生物化学研究的年度评论卷册，他收到了积极的回应。这些通信为他第一卷的潜在作者和主题提供了可能。斯坦福大学出版社同意在三年合同期内出版该期刊，并获得化学基金会的资助。1931年，斯坦福大学免费提供办公空间，以供编辑和业务运营之用。在此之前，Luck在出版业的唯一经验是在加拿大西部夏季担任图书销售员。第一卷于1932年7月出版，由来自九个不同国家的35位作者撰写的30篇评论组成，全书共724页。[4] Luck是该《生物化学年度评论》的创始编辑，并担任了35年的编辑职务。在完成与斯坦福大学出版社的合同后，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法律身份承担出版责任，同时保留斯坦福大学出版社作为印刷商。1934年12月12日，他们向加利福尼亚州州长提交了公司章程，以创建《生物化学年度评论》有限公司，该公司作为非营利组织成立。1938年2月，公司名称变更为《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年国际作者占比仅为25%。随着《年度评论》增加了生理学和植物生理学的新标题，每卷中的材料广度有所减少。
