• Cover Letter

Our journal is inviting authors but not required to provide a cover letter for their manuscript. Most of the information that typically is included in cover letters is now collected as part of the online submission process (i.e., whether any version of the manuscript has been submitted to JBC previously, whether any previous communications with a JBC editor or staff member has taken place regarding the manuscript, or recommendations of scientists with expertise appropriate to handle or evaluate the manuscript or exclusion of those who might have a conflict of interest from reviewing the work). However, if desired, authors may choose to reiterate any of this information or to include a brief description of the novelty and significance of the work in a separate cover letter.
