IDP publishes several types of articles including: Original Research Papers, Short Communications, Reviews (both comprehensive overviews and short puncta), Technical Papers (toolbox, protocol and resource), Commentaries and Views, Addenda, Perspectives, Hypothesis or Point-of-View. Reviews, Puncta, Commentaries and Views will generally be invited. We also anticipate special issues that are devoted to particular areas of research. Suggestions for appropriate specialized topics are welcome.
IDP has several goals:
• To provide a journal devoted to protein intrinsic disorder that publishes top quality papers on all aspects of this topic and promotes the field.
• To raise awareness about the biological importance and abundance of intrinsically disordered proteins.
• To define and build a worldwide community of scientists interested in intrinsically disordered proteins, and to facilitate communication among them.
• To provide a resource to enhance the effort of laboratories working on intrinsically disordered proteins.
