CRITICAL REVIEWS IN EUKARYOTIC GENE EXPRESSION

Critical Reviews in Eukaryotic Gene Expression (ISSN 1045-4403) is a quarterly peer-reviewed journal published by Begell House in the United States, dedicated to advancing the understanding of gene expression mechanisms in eukaryotic organisms. The journal primarily features comprehensive review articles that synthesize current knowledge and highlight recent breakthroughs in the molecular biology, regulation, and functional significance of eukaryotic gene expression, with a particular emphasis on interdisciplinary applications in health and disease. While it is indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI) and maintains a stable editorial quality, it is not currently an open-access publication and typically occupies a lower tier in the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) journal ranking, often classified within Zone 3 or 4 of the biology or genetics categories. Consequently, although the journal offers a moderate submission difficulty and serves as a reputable venue for scholars seeking to disseminate high-quality synthetic reviews, its impact factor fluctuates annually and generally remains lower than that of top-tier journals, making it a suitable option for researchers prioritizing the publication of in-depth analytical perspectives over high-impact metrics.
