The Journal of Lipid Research is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal that was established in 1959. Since 2000, it is published by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.[1] It covers research in: "...the science of lipids in health and disease. The Journal emphasizes lipid function and the biochemical and genetic regulation of lipid metabolism. In addition, it publishes articles on patient-oriented and epidemiological research relating to altered lipid metabolism, including modification of dietary lipids."[2]
The journal is published in print and online and its co-editors in chief are Edward A. Dennis and Joseph L. Witztum.[3] All articles are available for free one year after publication. In press articles are available free on its website immediately after acceptance.
The journal was established in response to the lack of published methodologies in lipid research as perceived by Edward H. Ahrens, Donald Zilversmit, and others, who founded Lipid Research Inc. to publish the journal.[4]
Prior to its current home at the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, the journal was based at Rockefeller University, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology.[5]
