Journal Guide

Biophysics covers a wide scope of problems related to the main physical mechanisms of processes taking place on different organization levels in biosystems. It includes structure and dynamics of molecules, cells and tissues: the influence of environment: energy transformation and transfer: thermodynamics: biological motility: population dynamics and cell differentiation modeling: biomechanics and tissue rheology: non-linear phenomena, mathematical cybernetics modeling of complex systems: computational biology. Biophysics exercises a multidisciplinary approach and presents the complete pattern of relevant basic research in former Soviet and Eastern European countries. The Letters to the Editor section is dedicated to rapid publications of special interest. Reviews and mini-reviews are devoted to problems of general interest. The size of manuscripts is not limited.

Biosensors and Biomolecular Electronics is dedicated to the dissemination of cutting-edge research and technological advancements in the field of biosensors, with a primary focus on their healthcare, diagnostic, and therapeutic applications. The journal aims to bridge the gap between laboratory innovation and clinical or commercial deployment, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and real-world impact. 

The journal serves as a global platform for scientists and innovators working at the intersection of bioengineering, life sciences, healthcare, and materials science, with a strong emphasis on the translation of biosensing technologies into clinical and real-world healthcare settings, including precision medicine, infectious diseases, environmental health, and toxicology. We particularly welcome contributions that advance the development and implementation of biosensors in precision medicine, enabling tailored diagnostics, monitoring, and treatment strategies.

The journal is the official publication of the Brazilian Society of Microbiology and currently publishes 4 issues per year.

There are no publications costs to authors, except when they wish to make their article open access (see "Open Choice" in the instructions for authors)

Founded in 1971, this journal presents current research from around the world.The scope of coverage is broad and highly varied, including topics such as Rotational Effects in the Lower Convective Region of the Sun; Structural Studies of Liquid Alkaline-earth Metals; Genetic transcriptional regulatory model driven by the time-correlated noises; Paramagnetic shimming for high-field MRI and more.Besides four regular issues per year, the journal presents special reviews focused on hot topics which are particularly well studied in Brazil.This is an official publication of the Sociedade Brasileira de Física (SBF).

This journal is devoted exclusively to publishing the transactions of various Russian Academy of Sciences congresses, conferences, symposia and school seminars across the fields of physics, thus providing access to a very large body of authoritative, advanced research results in pure and applied physics in Russia and the former Soviet Union. Articles presented here are usually complete and published nowhere else. In some cases, the papers are work-in-progress reports that may be published later in finished form in specialized journals. For the most part, the contributors are affiliated with Russian Academy of Sciences institutes, other leading physics research institutes throughout the former Soviet Union, and major Russian universities, sometimes with foreign collaborators. Comprising more than 2000 pages annually, the journal presents an enormous amount of information that cannot be obtained elsewhere.

The journal covers the following topical areas:

Analysis of specific industrial catalytic processes:
Production and use of catalysts in branches of industry: chemical, petrochemical, oil-refining, pharmaceutical, organic synthesis, fuel-energetic industries, environment protection, biocatalysis: technology of industrial catalytic processes (generalization of practical experience, improvements, and modernization): technology of catalysts production, raw materials and equipment: control of catalysts quality: starting, reduction, passivation, discharge, storage of catalysts: catalytic reactors.Theoretical foundations of industrial catalysis and technologies:
Research, studies, and concepts : search for and development of new catalysts and new types of supports, formation of active components, and mechanochemistry in catalysis: comprehensive studies of work-out catalysts and analysis of deactivation mechanisms: studies of the catalytic process at different scale levels (laboratory, pilot plant, industrial): kinetics of industrial and newly developed catalytic processes and development of kinetic models: nonlinear dynamics and nonlinear phenomena in catalysis: multiplicity of stationary states, stepwise changes in regimes, etc. Advances in catalysis:
Catalysis and gas chemistry: catalysis and new energy technologies: biocatalysis: nanocatalysis: catalysis and new construction materials.History of the development of industrial catalysis.

The journal publishes papers on vast aspects of cell research, including morphology, biochemistry, biophysics, genetics, molecular biology, immunology. The journal accepts original experimental studies, theoretical articles suggesting novel principles and approaches, presentations of new hypotheses, reviews highlighting major developments in cell biology, discussions. The main objective of the journal is to provide a competent representation and integration of research made on cells (animal and plant cells, both in vivo and in cell culture) offering insight into the structure and functions of live cells as a whole. Characteristically, the journal publishes articles on biology of free-living and parasitic protists, which, unlike Metazoa, are eukaryotic organisms at the cellular level of organization.

Based in Basel, Switzerland, the multidisciplinary journal Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences (CMLS) publishes research articles, reviews, multi-author reviews and visions & reflections articles covering the latest aspects of biological and biomedical research. The journal will consider contributions focusing on biochemistry and molecular biology, cell biology, molecular and cellular aspects of biomedicine, neuroscience, pharmacology and immunology. In addition, CMLS welcomes comments on any article published in CMLS. Publication Schedule

Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience (CABN) offers theoretical, review, and primary research articles on behavior and brain processes in humans. Coverage includes normal function as well as patients with injuries or processes that influence brain function: neurological disorders, including both healthy and disordered aging; and psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and depression. CABN is the leading vehicle for strongly psychologically motivated studies of brain–behavior relationships, through the presentation of papers that integrate psychological theory and the conduct and interpretation of the neuroscientific data. The range of topics includes perception, attention, memory, language, problem solving, reasoning, and decision-making; emotional processes, motivation, reward prediction, and affective states; and individual differences in relevant domains, including personality. Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience is a publication of the Psychonomic Society.
