How Time Flies: 25 Years of Circadian and Sleep Research
- Submission status
- Open
- Submission deadline
The last 25 years have seen profound changes in our understanding of circadian rhythms and sleep regulation. From the rise of transcriptional feedback loop models in eukaryotes to the mechanistic dissection of an entirely post-translational clock in Cyanobacteria; from the discovery of sleep in animals as diverse as flies and jellyfish, to the incredible uptake of sleep wearables, big data and machine learning. This collection of invited reviews will offer a series of personal perspectives from leaders in the field about the critical advances since 2000 and what the future holds for circadian and sleep research.

The Collection will publish original research Articles, and Commentary such as Reviews, Perspectives, and Comments (full details on content types can be found here). Papers will be published in npj Biological Timing and Sleep as soon as they are accepted and then collected together and promoted on the Collection homepage. All Guest Edited Collections are associated with a call for papers and are managed by one or more of our Editorial Board Members and the journal's Editors.
This Collection welcomes submissions from all authors – and not by invitation only – on the condition that the manuscripts fall within the scope of the Collection and of npj Biological Timing and Sleep more generally. See our editorial process page for more details.
All submissions are subject to the same peer review process and editorial standards as regular npj Biological Timing and Sleep articles, including the journal’s policy on competing interests. The Guest Editors have no competing interests with the submissions, which she handles through the peer-review process. The peer review of any submissions for which the Guest Editors have competing interests is handled by another Editorial Board Member who has no competing interests.
