英文简介：

Autophagy is a highly selective peer-reviewed journal that publishes papers on all aspects of autophagic processes (i.e., the lysosome/vacuole dependent degradation of intracellular material). The field of autophagy has advanced tremendously, due in large part to the multiple connections between autophagy and various aspects of human health and disease including cancer, neurodegeneration, aging, diabetes, myopathies and heart disease. Our goal is to be the premiere journal in this field, publishing papers that you want read by the people in your research group. Autophagy publishes several types of papers including: Original research (basic science, translational and clinical), reviews (both comprehensive overviews and short puncta), technical papers (toolbox, protocol and resource), commentaries, and articles on science and art. Reviews, puncta and commentaries will generally be invited. We also anticipate special issues that are devoted to particular areas of research. Suggestions for appropriate specialized topics are welcome. We are interested in all experimental systems, from yeast to human. All submitted manuscripts are initially reviewed by the editors, and, if considered suitable for further consideration, are sent out for peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees; we generally seek a minimum of two reviews whenever possible. Accepted papers go through a rigorous editing process that results in very high-quality content.

自噬是一种高度选择性的同行评审期刊，发表关于自噬过程的所有方面的论文(即，溶酶体/液泡依赖于细胞内物质的降解)。自噬领域已经取得了巨大的进展，这在很大程度上是由于自噬与人类健康和疾病的各个方面，包括癌症、神经退化、衰老、糖尿病、肌病和心脏病之间的多重联系。我们的目标是成为这个领域的第一杂志，发表你想让你的研究小组的人读的论文。 自噬发表多种类型的论文，包括:原始研究(基础科学、翻译和临床)、综述(综合综述和简短的点状分析)、技术论文(工具箱、协议和资源)、评论以及关于科学和艺术的文章。一般将邀请评论、点播和评论。我们还期待专门讨论特定研究领域的特殊问题。欢迎就适当的专题提出建议。我们对所有的实验系统都感兴趣，从酵母到人类。 所有提交的稿件最初由编辑审阅，如果认为适合进一步审议，则由独立的、匿名的专家评审人员进行同行评审;我们通常在可能的情况下寻求至少两次评审。被接受的论文要经过严格的编辑过程，才能得到高质量的内容。
