The background information provided enables researchers to understand the principles underlying the methods; other helpful sections include comparisons of alternative methods giving the advantages and disadvantages of particular methods, guidance on avoiding potential pitfalls, and suggestions for troubleshooting.

《方法》專注于實驗生物學和醫學科學中快速發展的技術。

每個專題都由一位客座編輯組織，該編輯是所涵蓋領域的專家，僅包含受邀的專業作者撰寫的高質量文章，其中許多是評論。專題專門討論特定的技術方法，重點是清晰詳細的協議描述，以便于重現。提供的背景信息使研究人員能夠理解方法背后的原理；其他有用的部分包括替代方法的比較，給出了特定方法的優缺點，避免潛在陷阱的指導以及故障排除的建議。

Methods創刊于1990年，由Academic Press Inc.出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋生物 - 生化研究方法全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 一般,3-8周 約11.3周，影響因子指數4.2，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
