Aims and scope

Accounts of Peptide Science Japan is an open access journal established through the integration of Peptide Science and Peptide Newsletter Japan. It is dedicated to sharing the scholarship of the Japanese Peptide Society with a global audience. The journal centers on the article type Account – articles in which authors present an integrative account of their own research on a single theme, encompassing background, methodology, findings, significance, and future perspectives.
