Interview
1. How many years have you been practicing and/or performing research?
I have been performing research since 1983 as a graduate student. I am an independent investigator since 1999

2. What is the research topic you are working on now?
My research area is "Biochemistry" with emphasis on structure and function of proteins

3. What makes an article top quality?
An article with very interesting and ground breaking results and often that contradicts the prevailing notion supported by sound experiments and presented in a lucid manner is top quality for me. Of course, any new information or results that the field a step forward in our understanding of the secrets of Mother Nature is also top quality

4. What are the qualities you look for in an article?
Everything I wrote above: good work supported by sound well documented experiments and presented in a lucid manner (well written paper with great figures to explain results containing succinct conclusion at the end of the article

5. Do you have any research funding (NIH or other national funding) now?
Yes, I have from USDA (United States Department of Agriculture)

6. When did you become an editor of OMICS Journal?
In 2011

7. What is your greatest career accomplishment?
The great achievement is getting my very first grant proposal funded by a Federal Government Agency and being nominated by this agency and receiving Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers for this work

8. How does the research published percolate through to practitioners?
Well, the research must be disseminated through publication, presentation at conference and other Universities etc.

9. What is the purpose of serving as an editor?
Well, to serve the scientific community and to help scientists publish their work as quickly as possible without compromising in quality and accuracy of the work. The peer evaluation must be performed to hold up the integrity of science and ethics

10. Do you have any patents?
No

11. Have you contributed any editorials or papers (any types) to OMICS Journals in the past two years?
Yes, I have

12. Do you plan to contribute any editorials or papers to OMICS Journals in the next year?
Yes, I do

13. Do you have any trouble with OMICS Journals in the past?
As an editor of a special issue, I had some problems such as the latest revised article was not published. I caught it and corrected it. My own editorial had some mistakes which was not corrected despite my requests. But we are humans and we will have errors as long as we learn from it and fix it

14. Would you recommend OMICS to your friends or colleagues?
Yes

15. How do you differentiate Journal of Biochemistry and Physiology with other journals in the field?
Well, this is still a new journal and will need time to establish itself to attract very high quality papers for leaders in science
