Manuscript Categories

Original Research Articles

Full-length manuscripts presenting novel findings with comprehensive experimental data. Research articles should provide sufficient methodological detail for reproducibility and include appropriate statistical analysis. Typical research articles range from 4,000 to 8,000 words.

Review Articles

Comprehensive reviews synthesizing current knowledge on significant topics in genetic engineering. Reviews should provide critical analysis rather than simple literature surveys. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses are particularly welcome. Prospective review authors are encouraged to contact the editorial office before submission.

Short Communications

Brief reports presenting significant preliminary findings, novel methodologies, or results of particular timeliness. Limited to 3,000 words with maximum 4 figures and expedited review process.

Benefits of Publishing with JGE

Rapid Review: Average time from submission to first decision is 21 days. We prioritize efficient peer review without sacrificing rigor or quality assessment of genetic engineering research.

Global Visibility: Open-access publication ensures your research is freely available to researchers, clinicians, and industry professionals worldwide. Articles are indexed in major databases for maximum discoverability.

Professional Production: Expert copyediting, typesetting, and figure optimization by editors familiar with genetic engineering conventions. DOI assignment and CrossRef registration for permanent citability.

Author Support: Responsive editorial team providing guidance throughout the submission and review process. Language editing services available for non-native English speakers.

Submission Deadline: JGE accepts submissions on a rolling basis with no deadline restrictions. Manuscripts are processed immediately upon receipt, ensuring timely publication of your genetic engineering discoveries.

Detailed Topic Areas

CRISPR and Gene Editing Technologies

We welcome research on novel CRISPR-Cas systems including Cas9, Cas12, Cas13 variants and their applications. Studies exploring base editing, prime editing, epigenome editing, and improvements in specificity and efficiency are of particular interest. Research on delivery mechanisms, off-target analysis, and clinical translation advances the field significantly.

Gene Therapy and Therapeutic Applications

Manuscripts addressing viral vector development including AAV, lentiviral, and adenoviral platforms are encouraged. Non-viral delivery systems, ex vivo cell modification, in vivo gene correction, and therapeutic applications for genetic disorders represent priority areas for publication.

Synthetic Biology and Metabolic Engineering

Research on genetic circuit design, programmable gene regulation, biosensor development, and engineered biological systems advances our coverage. Metabolic pathway engineering for bioproduction, cell-free systems, and computational design tools are welcome topics.

Submission Guidelines

Prepare your manuscript according to JGE author guidelines. Original research articles should follow standard IMRAD structure. Include structured abstracts of 250-300 words for research articles. Ensure all figures are high resolution and clearly labeled. Submit supplementary data through our online portal.

JGE particularly encourages submissions presenting innovative methodologies, interdisciplinary approaches combining computational and experimental techniques, and research bridging fundamental discovery with clinical or biotechnological applications. Collaborative research spanning multiple institutions and international teams are welcome to submit their work.
