Journal Guide

Behavioural Neurology publishes original experimental papers and case reports dealing with disordered human behaviour and exceptional animal studies that have direct implications for understanding human behaviour or neural mechanisms of cognition. These embrace the field of cognitive neurology, biological psychiatry, neuropsychology, rehabilitation, and cognitive neuroscience. The emphasis of the approach is on lesion and imaging studies that explore abnormal human cognition and behaviour. The journal embraces matters of interest to clinicians, such as behavioural neurologists and neuropsychiatrists, and cognitive neuroscientists, neuropsychologists, neuropathologists, neurochemists, therapists, psychopharmacologists and metabolic scientists with a special interest in human neurological disorders. All papers are refereed. Reviews of an area of the literature, and commentaries in areas of current interest, will also be considered for publication. Reviews and commentaries in areas outside behavioural neurology, but of interest and importance to behavioural neurologists, will also be considered. A Clinical Notes section has been added for brief reports of clinical observations that may have important implications for understanding cognitive disorders. Behavioural Neurology also publishes Book Reviews and Short Communications.

The journal includes research reports, reviews, and rapid communications with a focus on biomolecular engineering advances.

As medical technology continues to develop, the subject of bioethics has an ever increasing practical relevance for all those working in philosophy, medicine, law, sociology, public policy, education and related fields.

Take a look at our spotlight on the Biology of the Cell Editor-in-Chief, Thierry Galli. Thierry talks about his life and work and the benefits of publishing in Biology of the Cell.Biology of the Cell publishes original research articles and reviews on all aspects of cellular and molecular biology, development and cell physiology. The Journal also publishes a specific discussion and general interest section called Scientiae Forum.

Biomedical Chromatography is devoted to the publication of original papers on the applications of chromatography and allied techniques in the biological and medical sciences. Research papers and review articles cover the methods and techniques relevant to the separation, identification and determination of substances in biochemistry, biotechnology, molecular biology, cell biology, clinical chemistry, pharmacology and related disciplines. These include the analysis of body fluids, cells and tissues, purification of biologically important compounds, pharmaco-kinetics and sequencing methods using HPLC, GC, HPLC-MS, TLC, paper chromatography, affinity chromatography, gel filtration, electrophoresis and related techniques. This journal, as well as reporting current research, also serves our community as a major resource for information on practical and instrumental methodology.

Aims and Scope Biometrical Journalpublishes papers on statistical methods and their applications in life sciences including medicine. environmental sciences and agriculture. Methodological developments should be motivated by an interesting and relevant problem from these areas. Ideally the manuscript should include a description of the problem and a section detailing the application of the new methodology to the problem. Case studies. review articles and letters to the editors are also welcome. Papers containing only extensive mathematical theory are not suitable for publication inBiometrical Journal. The Editors are supporting reproducible research. Authors are strongly encouraged to submit computer code and data sets used to illustrate new methods. These will be published as supporting information on the journal"s webpage once the paper was accepted for publication. Highlights in 2010 Special issue:Hans van Houwelingen. 40 Years in Biostatistics Highlights in 2011 Special issue: Clinical Epidemiology and Individualized Medicine.

Biopharmaceutics & Drug Dispositionpublishes original review articles, short communications, and reports in biopharmaceutics, drug disposition, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, especially those that have a direct relation to the drug discovery/development and the therapeutic use of drugs. These includes: * animal and human pharmacological studies that focus on therapeutic response. pharmacodynamics, and toxicity related to plasma and tissue concentrations of drugs and their metabolites, * in vitro and in vivo drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, transport, and excretion studies that facilitate investigations related to the use of drugs in man * studies on membrane transport and enzymes, including their regulation and the impact of pharmacogenomics on drug absorption and disposition, * simulation and modeling in drug discovery and development * theoretical treatises * includes themed issues and reviews and exclude manuscripts on * bioavailability studies reporting only on simple PK parameters such as Cmax, tmax and t1/2 without mechanistic interpretation * analytical methods Reports must contain current citation of the literature and convey new information. Biopharmaceutics & Drug Disposition is one of the top accessed and cited journals in the field, as a result of the high quality papers published in the journal, and is marketed by Wiley Blackwell across the world.

Biopolymers publishes original research papers and review articles in the general area of macromolecular structure and function, as well as biologically relevant model systems. Manuscripts should report on studies that examine biological macromolecules (naturally occurring and designed), their interactions, reactions, and macromolecular assemblies at structural, chemical, and physical levels. The Journal strives to publish high-impact papers that will significantly enhance our understanding of the chemistry and/or the biology of the systems under investigation. Reports describing techniques that could be applied to the study of biological macromolecules will be considered for publication only if they will have broad utility to the biochemical and biophysical research community. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:

Biotechnology Journal is the new, international resource for both biotechnology researchers and professionals in related disciplines.
