碳水化合物研究自1965年成立以來，以其高標準、廣泛的研究領域而聞名，涵蓋了碳水化合物化學和生物化學的各個方面。雜志上發表的文章包括糖及其衍生物（也包括環素和碳水化合物反應的模型化合物）、低聚糖和多糖、核苷、核苷酸和糖綴合物。從化學合成、結構和立體化學的研究、反應及其機理、天然產物的分離、物理化學研究、大分子動力學、分析化學、生物化學（生物合成、代謝、降解、結構和功能生物化學、生物化學和生物化學）等角度來考慮這些系統。酶機制、糖基轉移酶等）；—酶的作用；免疫化學；技術方面。該雜志包括正常長度的研究論文、筆記、初步通訊和書評，以及與碳水化合物有關的會議通知。該雜志的摘要現在可通過新的Elsevier科學獲得。抽象在線服務。這項服務對訂閱機構的所有讀者都是免費的，并通過全球網絡為所有全文提供出版前和出版后的內容列表和摘要。欲了解更多信息，請訪問碳水化合物研究摘要在線網站：http://www.elsevier.nl/locate/carabsonline

Since its inception in 1965, Carbohydrate Research has gained a reputation for its high standard and wide scope which includes all aspects of carbohydrate chemistry and biochemistry. Articles published in the journal cover sugars and their derivatives (also cyclitols, and model compounds for carbohydrate reactions), oligo- and polysaccharides, nucleosides, nucleotides, and glycoconjugates. These systems are considered from the viewpoints of:- chemical synthesis; the study of structures and stereochemistry; reactions and their mechanisms; isolation of natural products; physicochemical studies; macromolecular dynamics; analytical chemistry; biochemistry (biosynthesis, metabolism, degradation, structural and functional biochemistry, enzyme mechanisms, glycosyl transferases, etc.);- action of enzymes; immunochemistry; technological aspects.The journal includes normal length research papers, notes, preliminary communications and book reviews together with notices of meetings concerned with carbohydrates.The abstracts for this journal are now available via the new Elsevier Science Abstracts Online service. This service is complimentary to all readers at subscribing institutes and offers pre- and post-publication contents lists and abstracts for all full papers via the worldwide web.
