Journal Guide

Cancer/radiothérapie se veut d'abord et avant tout un organe francophone de publication des travaux de recherche en radiothérapie. La revue a pour objectif de diffuser les informations majeures sur les travaux de recherche en cancérologie et tout ce qui touche de près ou de loin au traitement du cancer par les radiations : technologie, radiophysique, radiobiologie et radiothérapie clinique. La revue publie 6 numéros par an ainsi qu'un numéro spécial à l'occasion du congrès annuel de la SFRO.

Carbohydrate Polymers covers the study and exploitation of polymers of monosaccharides which have current or potential application in areas such as bioenergy, bioplastics, biomaterials, nanotechnology, biorefining, drug delivery, food, chemistry, packaging , paper, pharmaceuticals, medicine, oil recovery, textiles and wood.The role of the well-characterized carbohydrate polymer must be the major proportion of the work reported, not peripheral. At least one named carbohydrate polymer must be cited and be the main focus of the title of the paper, and of the paper itself. Research must be innovative and advance scientific knowledge. Where a polysaccharide is obtained from a supplier, essential structural information which will affect its behavior in the subsequent work should be given. For example, molecular size/viscosity information, mannuronate/glucoronate ration for alginates, degree of esterification for pectin, degree of deacetylation for chitosan. Editors are unlikely to send papers for formal review with a statement such as "sodium alginate was purchased from XXX Inc." unless additional information is supplied. To be acceptable, the paper must include some characterization of the polysaccharide (if not already known) in addition to the application studied. Purity and monosaccharide composition are essential; some molecular size and linkage information is highly desirable.Topics include:• structure and property relationships• analytical methods• chemical, enzymatic and physical modifications• biosynthesis• natural functions• interactions with other materialsExamples of papers which are not appropriate for Carbohydrate Polymers include:• papers which focus on biological, physiological and pharmacological aspects of non-carbohydrate molecules attached to, or mixed with, carbohydrate polymers.• papers on the materials science of biocomposites where there is no mention of any specific carbohydrate polymer, or the role of the carbohydrate polymer is not the major proportion of the study.• papers focusing on polyalkanoates, polylactic acid or lignin.• routine studies of extraction yields without characterisation of the extracted polysaccharide.• routine studies of complexation of a drug with a single cyclodextrin.• applications of new polysaccharides where the structure of the polysaccharide is unknown.• Papers on the production and isolation of enzymes which act on polysaccharides (studies on the mode of action of an enzyme on a polysaccharide are within the journal scope).• Papers where the degree of polymerization of the saccharide chain is less than four.

Carbohydrate Research publishes outstanding and timely research reports on molecular aspects of carbohydrate chemistry, biochemistry, chemical biology and glycobiology.Areas of interest include:• Sugars, glycosides and their derivatives; oligo- and poly-saccharides; glycoconjugates• Chemical and enzymatic synthesis of carbohydrate-containing molecules. • Isolation and structural characterization of novel carbohydrate-containing molecules• Experimental and theoretical studies on structure, dynamics and mechanism• Analytical chemistry and biochemistry, including molecular probes• Studies of carbohydrate-processing, including enzyme action, mechanism and inhibition• Glycobiology, glycan metabolism and biosynthesis• Glycomics and glycoinformatics• Molecular aspects of glycoimmunochemistry• Molecular aspects of glyconanoparticles and carbohydrate materialsThe journal includes full-length research papers, reviews and notes, all of which are subjected to rigorous peer review prior to acceptance. Molecular-level characterization of all materials under investigation is required.It is now possible to submit your paper online and benefit from considerably shorter review and publication times.

The journal Carbon is an international multidisciplinary forum for communicating scientific advances in the field of carbon materials and carbon nanomaterials. The journal reports significant new findings related to the formation, structure, properties, behaviors, and technological applications of carbons, which are a broad class of ordered or disordered solid phases composed primarily of elemental carbon. These materials can be either synthetic or of natural origin, and include, but are not limited to, graphene and graphene-oxide, carbon nanotubes, carbon fibers and filaments, graphite, porous carbons, pyrolytic carbon, glassy carbon, carbon black, diamond and diamond-like carbon, fullerenes, and chars. Papers on composites will be considered if the carbon component is a major focus of the paper's scientific content. Papers on organic substances may be considered if they are precursors for such carbon materials. Relevant application areas for carbon materials include, but are not limited to, electronic and photonic devices, structural and thermal applications, smart materials and systems, energy storage and conversion, catalysis, environmental protection, and biology and medicine.Carbon publishes comprehensive research articles, Letters to the Editor, and invited reviews by leading experts in the field. Papers will be selected that have high scientific merit, impart important new knowledge, and are of high interest to the international carbon materials community. The journal welcomes manuscripts on both bulk and nanoscale carbon materials and is particularly interested in manuscripts that help define and develop the basic science that applies to all carbons, including both established and emerging materials.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
