Aims and Scope

 
TIGG is an international, bilingual journal covering glycoscience and glycotechnology and issued bimonthly since 1989. Since then editors are elected from academia and companies who agree to participate in a volunteer basis for the duration of four years. 


TIGG is an official journal of the Japanese Society of Carbohydrate Research.

The journal covers the following categories.
MINIREVIEWS describe recent progress in the fields of glycoscience            and glycotechnology. Suggestions are always welcome in the form of a one-page synopsis (double spaced) addressed to the editor-in-chief.
GLYCOTOPICS are short commentaries on the latest papers describing outstanding findings with background.
GLYCODEBUTS introduce distinguished PhD theses or outstanding works of young scientists over the world in glycosciences and glycotechnologies.
GLYCOFORUM is for our readers who wish to submit comments on scientific or social matters related to glycoscience and glycotechnology.
LETTERS TO TIGG are for readers who wish to discuss contributions appearing in TIGG or matters related to FCCA.

Readers are encouraged to contribute to any of the above. Manuscripts should be written in English (and in Japanese for authors who are native to Japanese) and sent to the editor-in-chief. Due to limited space, not all manuscripts submitted for publication can be accepted. The editors hold the right to accept or reject and edit the manuscripts. All manuscripts accepted from non-Japanese contributors are translated into Japanese by our editorial staffs.
