Journal Guide

Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine (TERM) publishes articles online and in print that report substantial and original findings on tissue engineering, medical biomaterials, cells and stem cells for tissue repair, preclinical and clinical studies, and regenerative medicine. The criteria for acceptance of manuscripts are scientific excellence, significance, and interest for the general readership in the tissue engineering and regenerative medicine field. Feature Articles and Editorials are invited only by the Editors.

Composed only of invited articles from leading authors, this journal documents today’s emerging and critical trends in all branches of catalysis. Each themed issue is organized by guest editors in collaboration with the Editors in Chief.  Proposals for new topics are welcome and should be submitted directly to the Editors-in-Chief. Uninvited contributions may be sent to Catalysis Letters.

The series Topics in Organometallic Chemistry presents critical overviews of research results in organometallic chemistry. As our understanding of organometallic structure, properties and mechanisms increases, new ways are opened for the design of organometallic compounds and reactions tailored to the needs of such diverse areas as organic synthesis, medical research, biology and materials science. Thus the scope of coverage includes a broad range of topics of pure and applied organometallic chemistry, where new breakthroughs are being achieved that are of significance to a larger scientific audience. The individual volumes of Topics in Organometallic Chemistry are thematic. Review articles are generally invited by the volume editors.

Topoi's main assumption is that philosophy is a lively, provocative, delightful activity, which constantly challenges our received views, relentlessly questions our inherited habits, painstakingly elaborates on how things could be different, in other stories, in counterfactual situations, in alternative possible worlds. Whatever its ideology, whether with the intent of uncovering a truer structure of reality or of soothing our anxiety, of exposing myths or of following them through, the outcome of philosophical activity is always the destabilizing, unsettling generation of doubts, of objections, of criticisms.

It follows that this activity is intrinsically a 'dialogue', that philosophy is first and foremost philosophical discussion, that it requires bringing out conflicting points of view, paying careful, sympathetic attention to their structure, and using this dialectic to articulate one's approach, to make it richer, more thoughtful, more open to variation and play. And it follows that the spirit which one brings to this activity must be one of tolerance, of always suspecting one's own blindness and consequently looking with unbiased eye in every corner, without fearing to pass a (fallible) judgment on what is there but also without failing to show interest and respect.

Topoi's structure is a direct expression of this view. To maximize discussion, we devote most or all of this issue to a single topic. And, since discussion is only interesting when it is conducted seriously and responsibly, we usually request the collaboration of a guest-editor, an expert who will identify contributors and interact with them in a constructive way. Because we do not feel tied to any definite philosophical theme (or set of them), we choose the topic with absolute freedom, looking for what is blossoming and thriving, occasionally betting on what might - partly through our attention - 'begin' to blossom and thrive. And because we do not want our structur, e to become our own straightjacket, we are open to contributions not fitting the 'topos', and do not rule out in principle the possibility of topic-less issues.

Transactions of Tianjin University is a bimonthly journal founded in 1995 and covers research within the framework of the thirteen national key disciplines, focusing on Biochemical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Optical Engineering, Measuring and Testing Technology and Instrumentation, Fluid Mechanics, Power Engineering, Industrial Catalysis, Electrical Engineering and Automation, Detecting Technology and Automatic Device, Port, Coastal and Offshore Engineering, Architecture, Management Science and Engineering More than half of the papers in Transactions of Tianjin University are supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the Doctoral Foundation of the Ministry of Education, the“973”Basic Research Program, and others.

Topics include: Lie groups and Lie algebras; Lie transformation groups and holomorphic transformation groups; Algebraic groups; Invariant theory; Geometry and topology of homogeneous spaces; Discrete subgroups of Lie groups; Quantum groups and enveloping algebras; Group aspects of conformal field theory; Kac-Moody groups and algebras; Lie supergroups and superalgebras. Transformation Groups will also publish surveys, written by order of the Editorial Board

Transgenic Research publishes research in transgenic higher organisms including their production, properties resulting from the transgenic state, use as experimental tools, exploitation and application, and environmental impact. The journal bridges the gap between fundamental and applied science in molecular biology and biotechnology.
Coverage includes studies on transgenic animals and plants in which insertion of transgenes including modification of endogenous genes, by any route or vehicle, has been used to confer novel metabolic or developmental properties on the organism. Investigations into the physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, development, genomics, genetics, behaviour and exploitation of such transgenic organisms are also covered. Transgenic Research provides a valuable forum for the cross-fertilization of ideas and techniques in all areas of transgenic technology from fungi to higher eukaryotic organisms.

Transition Metal Chemistry is an international journal dealing with all aspects of the preparation of transition metal-based compounds of all kinds, their structural, physical, kinetic and biological properties, their use in chemical synthesis as well as their application in the widest context, their role in naturally occurring systems and more.

Transition Studies Network was founded in 2002 as CEEUN-Central Eastern European
University Cooperation, with the aim to connect a group of experts and university faculty
in a program of cooperation devoted to research programs and specialized international
postgraduate and doctoral courses. The Network has grown fast and soon after the scientific
“voice” had been established with the Journal Transition Studies Review, published by Spring
Wien-New York. At the beginning, it was focusing on transition in Central and Southeast
Europe, interpreting CEEUN purely as European network. Soon later, the EU enlargement
of the aims and scope to Russia, Ukraine, Caucasus, the Black Sea and Mediterranean
regions was achieved. From 2005, a worldwide regional approach looking to Asia,
Latin America, Eurasia and Great Middle East has been implemented. To the previous
CEEUN, TSN-Transition Studies Network had been taking the heritage and the “aims and
scope” were recently better integrated.Transition Studies Network has progressively involved in the last ten years more than 400
internationally well known members and 95 university departments, institutes and research
centres and is engaged in many areas and programs. The scientifi c interests and fi elds are
covering: Europe and the World, future approach to EU enlargement, the global governance
economic, fi nancial and policy framework and impact, where it focuses especially on growth
theories, innovation and human capital, main advanced industrial sectors technologies,
investments, international affairs, foreign policy choices and security, monetary policy and
main currency areas, banking and insurance, development and area studies, social policies,
environment and climate, culture and society, juridical and law studies, regional approach to
global governance, peculiarities and critical challenges.The future, transition to open economy and institutional reforms, political and strategic issues
and challenges, governance, European, Mediterranean, Asia-Pacifi c, Middle Eastern, Latin
America and Africa perspectives are key topics of this highranking journal. The Transatlantic
and Asia-Pacifi c relations, security and international order represent, together with applied
regional studies, another cornerstone of the Network’s activity and of Transition Studies
Review’s contents, where two other Journals will dedicated: the Journal of Global Policy and
Governance, based in Shanghai and in Rome: the International Journal of Euro Mediterranean
Studies based in Portorož, Slovenia. The Network is deeply committed to a wide range of transition
issues related to quantitative modeling and tools to analyzing and researching economic,
fi nancial, strategic studies, social, cultural, environmental, juridical main issues.

Translational Neurodegeneration is a open access, peer-reviewed journal that covers research, therapeutics and education for all aspects of neurodegenerative diseases. It aims to provide an forum for international researchers and practitioners to discuss all areas of neurodegenerative diseases including epidemiology, etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, management and prevention, as well as their molecular, biochemical and physiological aspects. Our goal is to close the gap between basic research and clinical work in neurodegeneration.Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following areas of neurodegenerative diseases: Epidemiology and pathogenesisResearch into diagnosis and preventionResearch into the diease pathogenesis Development of new drugs and cell therapyDrug delivery RehabilitationBy offering a high-visibility forum for new insights and discussions, Translational Neurodegeneration aims to create a novel interface between the fields of basic medical research, translational research and clinical research into Parkinson's disease and movement disorders, Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, motor neuron disease, and other related neurodegenerative diseases. It offers the opportunity for basis scientists, clinicians and physician-scientists to publish their research and clinical trials in a journal which is applicable to their specific field.
