As selection for the Paper of the Week, the Journal of Biological Chemistry notes, “ “Our editorial board members and associate editors have determined your paper is in the top 2 percent of manuscripts they will review in a year in significance and overall importance.  About 50 to 100 papers are selected from the more than 6,600 we publish each year.”
