About FJ Express

FJ Express is a new approach to the rapid publication of research communications in The FASEB Journal.

Manuscripts accepted for this format will be published online, in full text, in The FASEB Journal approximately one month after acceptance. These peer-reviewed, edited articles will be the version of record for citation purposes; fully searchable, and indexed in Index Medicus, Medline, PubMed, and other services.

In addition to the online version of the manuscript, a three-page summary of each article, written by the author, will be published in The FASEB Journal two months later in a section devoted to FJ Express summaries.

This summary will include a concise statement of the specific aims of the study, a description of the principal findings, and a discussion of their significance. It will also include one or two results figures, and a schematic diagram (see instructions). This summary, more focused than a full-length manuscript, and far more informative than the usual abstract will be seen as a valuable tool to obtain the essence of a manuscript. It is likely that review bodies, promotion committees and most readers will find a well-crafted summary more useful than either entire reprints or conventional abstracts.

Although the full-length version of the manuscript will not appear in the printed version of The FASEB Journal, the online version will be available in a standard PDF format. In addition to the ability to download and print as many copies of their manuscript as desired, authors will be provided with a URL address for their manuscript. This URL can be shared with others who wish to directly access the manuscript. When the printed Summary appears in the journal two months later, it will also appear online and will be linked to the full manuscript.
