Metabolomics

Submission status
Open
Submission deadline

Volumes of metabolomics data have been rapidly expanding in recent years, driven by advances in instrumentation, data analysis, and the development of repositories. Even so, the rate of data generation has not kept up with demand, with potential applications in drug discovery, personalised medicine, nutrition, agriculture, analytical chemistry and more all expanding the use case for more information. This collection presents a series of articles describing metabolomics datasets, covering data from any organism type, collected via any valid metabolomic technique, and for any application. All open datasets are presented without hypotheses or significant analyses to support re-use in the aforementioned fields, as per the scope of a Scientific Data Descriptor.

Editors

This Collection welcomes submissions of Data Descriptors (full information on content types can be found here). Papers will be published in Scientific Data as soon as they are accepted and then collected together and promoted on the Collection homepage. All Guest Edited Collections are associated with a call for papers and are managed by one or more of our Editorial Board Members and the journal's Editors.

This Collection welcomes submissions from all authors – and not by invitation only – on the condition that the manuscripts fall within the scope of the Collection and of Scientific Data more generally. See our editorial process page for more details.

All submissions are subject to the same peer review process and editorial standards as regular Scientific Data articles, including the journal’s policy on competing interests. The peer review of any submissions for which the Guest Editors have competing interests is handled by another Editorial Board Member who has no competing interests. See our Collections guidelines for more details.
