Annual publications
The number of Amino Acids publications has been declining year after year, and the overall number of posts is very small, no more than 200. From 2018 to 2021, 145, 133, 126 and 182 articles were published.

The main research areas and directions of the article
Amino Acids' articles focus on the following areas:
Analysis, separation (proteomics), synthesis, biosynthesis, evolution, folding, structure, stability, kinetics, medicinal chemistry, catabolism, crosslinked amino acids, racemic/enantiomers, amino acid modifications such as phosphorylation, methylation, acetylation, hydroxylation, and glycosylation. The journal also welcomes papers on the novel role of amino acids and proteins in physiology and pathophysiology, biology, amino acid analogues, polyamines, labeled amino acids, peptides, stable and radioactive isotopes of amino acids, excitatory amino acids, abnormal amino acids and peptides.

Instructions for submission
According to Fawn, Amino Acids covers all aspects of amino acid and protein research.
Here are some of the experience posts that Fawn is looking for for you:
Netizen 1: This magazine is an old magazine, the submission is relatively smooth, one month after the notice of revision, after the modification is directly accepted!
Netizen 2:07-06 Submit with editor, 45 days a little movement to buy, sent a reminder letter, and did not use it indiscriminately, wait another 15 days, no news will be returned, no interesting, a good old magazine was played to death by this group of editors.
Netizen 3: The review was completed less than three months after submission. If you draw up your own manuscripts, some reviewers believe that the speed will be faster. A reviewer thought it was good and innovative, and suggested publication; Another offered significant revisions. The article is accepted 20 days after the revised draft is submitted.
