Biomarker Insights is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal that supports the field of biomarker research. Biomarker Insights supports the rapid communication of advances in biomarker identification and their clinical application, as well as improvements in the conduct, reporting and overall quality of biomarker research. Biomarker Insights will also welcome the submission of manuscripts that aim to improve the conduct, reporting and overall quality of biomarker research, including manuscripts that directly examine causes of biomarker failure and research waste. Please see the Aims and Scope tab for further information.

Biomarker Insights is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal that aims to support those engaged in biomarker research. It supports the communication of the latest advances in the identification of biomarkers, their application towards the discovery of new knowledge and their clinical application. Such an integrative multidisciplinary approach provides readers with the opportunity obtain up to date information from a wide array of topics in a single journal. All articles are listed on PubMed and are freely available via PubMed Central.

The field of biomarkers in disease is an expanding area of research. Advances in the identification of disease biomarkers, coupled with new technology platforms, offer state-of-the art approaches to improve the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of disease. Identifying those patients who respond either positively or adversely to therapy is critical to ensure that drugs are used safely and effectively. Having effective biomarkers can be the difference between success and failure in the drug development pipeline.

At the same time, biomarkers can show poor rates of reproducibility between individual studies, translating to low numbers of biomarkers that have been approved for clinical use. The many factors contributing to low rates of biomarker reproducibility and translation are therefore collectively impeding the capacity of biomarker research to improve patient care. Biomarker Insights therefore welcomes the submission of manuscripts that aim to improve the conduct, reporting and overall quality of biomarker research, including manuscripts that directly examine causes of biomarker failure and research waste.

Biomarker Insights invites original research and review articles from across the health sciences and welcomes unsolicited article proposals. Topics covered include, but are not limited to:

  • Identification of biomarkers (genetic, transcript, non-coding RNA, protein, metabolomic)
  • Diagnostic biomarkers
  • Predictive biomarkers
  • Prognostic biomarkers
  • Companion biomarkers
  • Theranostic biomarkers
  • Therapeutic biomarkers
  • Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic biomarkers
  • Immunotherapeutic biomarkers
  • Biomarkers in stem cell research
  • Biomarker technology platforms
  • Biomarker development and clinical validation
  • Biomarker pathway analysis
  • Integration of biomarkers into mathematical models and algorithms
  • Integration of biomarkers into clinical practice guidelines and clinical decision support systems

Our goal is to publish novel research, even if it represents only an incremental advance. While our primary focus is to ensure we follow sound scientific practices (including adherence to ethical standards and the use of robust, transparent, and reproducible methodologies) we recognize the value of incremental stepwise contributions to the field. We care more about the quality and reliability of the contribution an article makes than we do the size of that contribution. Biomarker Insights evaluates manuscripts based on how the research was conducted and reported.
