- In vitro, in vivo, and clinical antioxidant studies
- Mitochondrial oxidative stress and aging
- Antioxidant enzyme systems and regulation
- Analytical methods for antioxidant capacity
- Translational and therapeutic applications
Original Research
Validated experimental or clinical studies with clear antioxidant outcomes.
Systematic Reviews
Evidence synthesis on antioxidant mechanisms and applications.
Methods and Tools
Assay development or standardization with benchmark results.
- Short communications reporting high impact findings
- Technical notes on assay optimization or validation
- Perspective articles on antioxidant research directions
Successful submissions present a clear research question, validated antioxidant methods, and transparent statistical reporting. We value studies that demonstrate reproducibility and biological relevance.
Authors should explain novelty, describe assay controls, and connect findings to oxidative stress mechanisms or outcomes.
- Transparent assay conditions and reference standards
- Validation against established biomarkers or controls
- Clear interpretation of antioxidant outcomes
- Appropriate statistical methods and reporting
Open Access Visibility
Research is accessible to scientists, clinicians, and industry professionals worldwide.
Single Blind Peer Review
Expert reviewers evaluate rigor while maintaining editorial oversight.
Metadata and DOI Support
Structured metadata improves discoverability and citation tracking.
Editorial Guidance
Actionable feedback strengthens experimental reporting.
Submissions undergo editorial screening for scope fit, assay quality, and data transparency. Qualified manuscripts move to single blind peer review with subject matter experts.
| Stage | Typical Timing | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Initial Screening | 1 to 2 weeks | Scope fit and compliance checks |
| Peer Review | 3 to 6 weeks | Assay rigor, data quality, and impact |
| Revision | 2 to 4 weeks | Author responses and refinements |
| Production | 2 to 3 weeks | Copyediting, proofs, DOI registration |
