The journal publishes:
- Detailed descriptions of databases, and database tools, in the broad arena of biology
- Shorter papers describing significant updates to established databases
- Objective reviews of complementary and ancillary databases and database tools
- User tutorials for database tools
- Methodology and technical notes on database development
- Improvements to automated prediction and annotation for biomedical datasets
- Detailed descriptions of the state and updating of the annotation of genomes
- Descriptions of the development and content of ontologies of relevance to the biomedical community and the tools specific to the use of these ontologies
- Articles relevant to the annotation process such as standards for curation, annotation best practices, annotation methodologies, the use of automated and semi-automated methods for annotation and the measures for annotation consistency
Database is the official journal of The International Society for Biocuration. Instructions to authors wishing to publish can be found on the journal’s website.
