Free Radical Research

Free Radical Research (Free Radic. Res.) is a journal of free radical and redox biology published by Taylor & Francis. Founded in 1985 as Free Radical Research Communications and under its present name since 1994, it concentrates on mechanistic research on free radicals, reactive species and redox signalling, and appears twelve times a year.《自由基研究》（Free Radical Research''''，缩写 Free Radic. Res.）是泰勒与弗朗西斯出版的自由基与氧化还原生物学刊物，1985 年创刊（创刊刊名为Free Radical Research Communications''），1994 年起启用现名。该刊以自由基、活性物种与氧化还原信号的机制研究为主，现为每年十二期。

Scope

The journal's editorial stance is that a paper must concern free radical and redox processes themselves: however clear the phenotype, it has to give mechanistic evidence about reactive species, oxidative damage or redox signalling. Coverage spans biological, clinical and environmental systems and concentrates on:本刊的取稿立场是「围绕自由基与氧化还原过程本身」：一篇论文不论表型多么明显，都要给出活性物种、氧化损伤或氧化还原信号的机制证据。收文覆盖生物、临床与环境三个体系，重点包括：

• Free radicals and reactive species: generation and removal of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, kinetics of radical reactions, metal-mediated oxidation, and detection of radicals in biological systems.自由基与活性物种： 活性氧与活性氮的生成与清除、自由基反应动力学、金属离子介导的氧化、生物体系中的自由基检测。

• Redox signalling: cysteine redox modification, redox-sensitive pathways, the glutathione and thioredoxin systems, and redox and signal transduction.氧化还原信号： 半胱氨酸氧化还原修饰、氧化还原敏感通路、谷胱甘肽与硫氧还蛋白体系、氧化还原与信号转导。

• Antioxidants and nutrition: dietary antioxidants, regulation of antioxidant enzymes, evaluation of evidence for antioxidant intervention, and nutrition and redox status.抗氧化剂与营养： 膳食来源抗氧化物质、抗氧化酶的调控、抗氧化干预的证据评价、营养与氧化还原状态。

• Mechanisms and measurement of oxidative damage: oxidative damage to lipids, proteins and DNA, detection and quantification of damage products, repair and degradation, and reliability of biomarkers.氧化损伤机制与测定： 脂质、蛋白质与 DNA 的氧化损伤、损伤产物的检测与定量、损伤修复与降解、生物标志物的可靠性。

• Chemical biology methods: probes and imaging, redox proteomics, reconstituted in vitro systems, and computational and kinetic modelling.化学生物学方法： 探针与成像方法、氧化还原蛋白组学、体外重建体系、计算与动力学建模。

• Disease and environmental systems: oxidative stress and disease mechanisms, environmentally and xenobiotically induced oxidation, ageing and oxidative damage, and exercise and oxidative stress.疾病与环境体系： 氧化应激与疾病机制、环境与外源物诱导的氧化、衰老与氧化损伤、运动与氧化应激。

The journal is hybrid with the Taylor & Francis Open Select open access option. A publisher editorial gives twenty-one days to first decision and no acceptance rate is published本刊为混合出版，采用（Taylor & Francis Open Select）开放获取选项；出版方社论载投稿至首次决定为二十一天，录用比例未公布（出版方的时效与录用率专栏在本次核查中被人机验证拦截）；本刊与（SFRR）亚洲分会及澳大利亚分会长期合作并资助其活动，但出版方页面未正式标注代表学会出版。 the publisher's speed and acceptance panel was blocked by bot verification during this check. The journal has long worked with and funded the Asian and Australian branches of SFRR, though the publisher's page does not formally state publication on behalf of a society.^[1]

History

• Founding and present name: the journal was founded in 1985 as Free Radical Research Communications and took its present name in 1994, continuing the volume numbering from volume 20, issue 1. The founding year is stated on two bases: a publisher editorial says the journal was first published in 1985, meaning the start of the whole line, while the NLM catalogue dates the present-name entity to 1994.创刊与现名启用： 1985 年创刊，创刊刊名为Free Radical Research Communications；1994 年启用现名并接续卷号（自第 20 卷第 1 期起）。关于创刊年存在口径差异 —— 出版方社论称本刊于 1985 年首次出版（指整个谱系起点），NLM 目录则以 1994 年为现名实体的起始年。^[2]

• Frequency: the journal ran at six issues per volume from 1994 and became bimonthly from 2004, and now appears twelve times a year. Print ceased after volume 47, issue 12, in 2013 and publication became electronic.刊期沿革： 1994 年起每卷六期，2004 年起改为双月刊，现为每年十二期；2013 年第 47 卷第 12 期之后停止印刷版，转为电子出版。

• Metrics and indexing: the journal is indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded, Scopus and MEDLINE. The impact factor and CiteScore could not be confirmed from the publisher's official pages or from the official JCR and Scopus sources in this check and are recorded as not published.指标与收录： 本刊被科学引文索引扩展版、Scopus 与 MEDLINE 收录；影响因子与引用分数在本次核查中未能从出版方官方页面或 JCR 与 Scopus 官方口径取到确认值，按未公布处理。

Editors

The present editor comes from the University of Tokyo and took up the post in 2019. The founding editor is not published by the publisher本刊现任主编来自东京大学，2019 年就任；首任主编出版方未予公布，可考的前任主编为其直接前任。 the traceable predecessor is his immediate predecessor.^[3]

• Present editor-in-chief: Koji Uchida of the Graduate School of Agricultural and Life Sciences at the University of Tokyo took up the post in 2019 and works on redox modification and lipid oxidation products.现任主编： （Koji Uchida）（内田浩二）供职于东京大学大学院农学生命科学研究科，2019 年就任，研究方向为氧化还原修饰与脂质氧化产物。

• Predecessor and founding editor: the predecessor was Michael J. Davies. The founding editor is not published and is recorded as not published.前任与首任： 前任主编为（Michael J. Davies）；首任主编出版方未公布，按未公布处理。

• Role in the field: the journal is one of the few titles devoted solely to free radical research, and its methodological papers on probes, detection and quantification are widely cited in oxidative stress research. Its long association with the SFRR regional branches also makes it a main channel for free radical researchers in the Asia-Pacific.学科角色： 本刊是自由基研究领域少数以该主题单独设刊的刊物，其方法学论文（探针、检测与定量）被氧化应激研究广泛引用；该刊与（SFRR）区域分会的长期合作也使其成为亚太地区自由基研究者的主要发表渠道之一。
