Rheumatic Disease Clinics of North America updates you on the latest trends in patient management, keeps you up to date on the newest advances, and provides a sound basis for choosing treatment options. Each issue (February, May, August, and November) focuses on a single topic in rheumatology and is presented under the direction of an experienced editor. Topics include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, crystal diseases, MSK exam, disorders of the bone, immunodeficiency states, lupus, neuromuscular disease, pain disorders, scleroderma, vasculitis, pediatrics, therapeutics, treatment guidelines, and treatment modalities.

We are beginning to understand how communications at the rhizosphere, with soil organisms and other plant species, affect root exudates and nutrient uptake. This rapidly evolving subject utilizes molecular biology and genomic tools, food web or community structure manipulations, high performance liquid chromatography, isotopic analysis, diverse spectroscopic analytics, tomography and other microscopy, complex statistical and modeling tools.

Field experiments, microcosm experiments, and soil-free research will be considered. Research papers, technical or method papers, reviews, and commentaries are welcome. Papers discussing informative negative results will also be considered.

Rice Science is an international research journal sponsored by China National Rice Research Institute.

ranslating Life Sciences Innovation: SLAS Technology explores ways in which scientists adapt advancements in technology for scientific exploration and experimentation.

SLAS Technology emphasizes scientific and technical advances that enable and improve life sciences research and development; drug-delivery; diagnostics; biomedical and molecular imaging; and personalized and precision medicine. This includes high-throughput and other laboratory automation technologies; micro/nanotechnologies; analytical, separation and quantitative techniques; synthetic chemistry and biology; informatics (data analysis, statistics, bio, genomic and chemoinformatics); and more.

SLAS Technology is of particular interest to those involved in automation, bioengineering, micro- and nanotechnology, nanomedicine, microfluidics, 3D printing, biotechnology, bioinformatics, analytical chemistry, biomedical optics, information technology, artificial intelligence, spectroscopy, clinical diagnostics, pharmacogenomics, molecular biology and biomedical sciences.

SLAS Technology is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and was published previously (1996-2016) as the Journal of Laboratory Automation (JALA).

SSM - Population Health

The new online only, open access, peer reviewed journal in all areas relating Social Science research to population health.

SSM - Population Healthshares the same Editors-in Chief and general approach to manuscripts as its sister journal,Social Science & Medicine. The journal takes a broad approach to the field especially welcoming interdisciplinary papers from across the Social Sciences and allied areas.

SSM - Population Health offers an alternative outlet for work which might not be considered, or is classed as 'out of scope' elsewhere, and prioritizes fast peer review and publication to the benefit of authors and readers.

The journal welcomes all types of paper from traditional primary research articles, replication studies, short communications, methodological studies, instrument validation, opinion pieces, literature reviews, etc. SSM - Population Health also offers the opportunity to publish special issues or sections to reflect current interest and research in topical or developing areas. The journal fully supports authors wanting to present their research in an innovative fashion though the use of multimedia formats.

Safety Science serves as an international medium for research in the science and technology of human safety. It extends from safety of people at work to other spheres, such as transport, leisure and home, as well as every other field of man's hazardous activities.Safety Science is multidisciplinary. Its contributors and its audience range from psychologists to chemical engineers. The journal covers the domain of safety in its general sense with a special focus on the interfaces between technology, people and organizations. Papers may address the physics and engineering of safety; its social, policy and organisational aspects; the management of risks; the effectiveness of control techniques for safety; standardization, legislation, inspection, insurance, costing aspects, human behaviour and safety and the like.Safety Science will enable academic researchers, engineers and decision-makers in companies, government agencies and international bodies, to augment their information level on the latest trends in the field, from policy makers and management scientists to engineers.The journal focuses primarily on original research papers across its whole scope, but also welcomes state-of-the-art review papers and first hand case histories on accidents and disasters of special significance. The emphasis is on safety risks, as distinct from health risks, but may include both.
