Current understanding of autoimmune disease is being increasingly underpinned by the new molecular sciences. Progress in this area has been little short of spectacular, and all clinical specialities now recognise autoimmunity as a major component of the diseases with which they are involved. Autoimmunity is an international, peer reviewed journal that publishes articles of clinical and basic science on the pathogenesis, immunology, genetics, molecular biology, and treatment of autoimmune diseases. In addition to the basic mechanisms and elements of the immune system, the journal focuses on the autoimmune processes associated with systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren syndrome, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and other systemic and organ-specific autoimmune diseases. The journal is not restricted to any disease type or clinical speciality, but reflects the areas where scientific progress is most rapid and clinical applications significant and widespread. The journal is valuable to clinicians and researchers in immunology and molecular biology. Read More: http://informahealthcare.com/page/aut/Description.

Autophagy, is a unique peer-reviewed journal with an international audience that covers the following topics: macroautophagy, microautophagy, specific organelle degradation (e.g., pexophagy) and additional autophagic processes including chaperone-mediated autophagy; the molecular mechanism of autophagy including the characterization of structural proteins and structure/function relationships; signaling and autophagic regulation; the role of autophagy in diseases including cancer, neurodegeneration and myopathies; developmental roles of autophagy and its connection with aging; autophagy in microbial invasion and the immune response; and autophagy in cell death.Autophagy publishes several types of papers including: Original research (both basic science and translational), reviews (both comprehensive overviews and short puncta), technical papers (toolbox, protocol and resource), commentaries, and articles on science and art. Reviews, puncta and commentaries will generally be invited. We cover a wide range of topics in all experimental systems. We also anticipate special issues that are devoted to particular areas of research. Suggestions for appropriate specialized topics are welcome.Autophagy has several goals:*To provide a journal devoted to this research topic that publishes top quality papers on all aspects of autophagic research, and promotes the field.*To define and build a worldwide community of scientists interested in autophagy, and to facilitate communication among them.*To provide resources that enhance the effort of laboratories devoted to autophagy research.

Subject areas include pathology; diagnosis; detection and characterisation of pathogens; gene sequences; epidemiology; immune responses; vaccines; genetics in relation to disease; and physiological and biochemical changes that are in response to disease. Manuscripts reporting cases of naturally occurring disease must describe either new diseases or give significant new information about previously known diseases. The information should significantly enhance knowledge and understanding of the disease or pathogen.Papers on food-borne microorganisms acquired during or after processing are not appropriate. Manuscripts describing the occurrence or morphology of unicellular eukaryotes and multicellular organisms, or which are essentially catalogues of micro-organisms detected, are unlikely to be considered for publication unless they have a clear relationship to disease. First and subsequent reports of occurrence within a country of diseases well-recognized elsewhere will not be accepted unless they also include significant new information about the disease or pathogen. Manuscripts should report novel findings that are of interest to an international readership.

Basic and Applied Social Psychology (BASP) emphasizes the publication of outstanding research articles, but also considers literature reviews, criticism, and methodological or theoretical statements spanning the entire range of social psychological issues. The journal will publish basic work in areas of social psychology that can be applied to societal problems, as well as direct application of social psychology to such problems. The journal provides a venue for a broad range of specialty areas, including research on legal and political issues, environmental influences on behavior, organizations, aging, medical and health-related outcomes, sexuality, education and learning, the effects of mass media, gender issues, and population problems. This research should have important implications for basic social processes and often is some of the most exciting work in the field of social psychology. BASP aims to provide a forum for a rich mixture of experiments, non-experimental methods, field studies, and welcomes innovative design and analysis strategies. The journal aims to serve both as a resource for investigators interested in the application of complex human experimentation to various problems of health, environment, and society and to social psychologists committed to the advancement of theory and the understanding of basic social and social-cognitive processes. Peer Review Policy: All papers published in this journal have undergone rigorous editorial screening and anonymous peer review.

Behavioral Medicine: Relating Behavior and Health is an interdisciplinary journal of research and practice that deals with psychosocial influences on heatlh and behavior. It publishes original research studies, both experimental and clinical; evaluation studies; review articles; case reports; and book reviews. In addition, the journal welcomes three-part, coordinated submissions on a theme topic that deals in depth with (1) a review of the literature on a health problem that can be treated through the use of psychological or behavioral intervention; (2) the evidence from research for the value of the behavioral intervention; (3) an analysis of the policy implications of the therapy and means of introducing it into mainstream training and health practice. The economic impact of new or evolving therapies may be included in the discussion.

Terrorism as a tactic has been used by political and ideological groups for thousands of years. Behavioral Sciences of Terrorism and Political Aggression aims to address the complex causation and effects of terrorist activity by bringing together timely, consistently scientifically and theoretically sound papers addressing terrorism from a behavioral science perspective, (encompassing biological, evolutionary, developmental, ecological, personality, social, military, and neuroscience approaches to psychology). The journal is not intended as a forum for articles presenting policy or strategy analysis or those highly driven by opinion, but instead will publish empirical and theoretical papers, letters to the Editor and invited visionary pieces by leading experts in the field, which have a strong base in behavioral science research. The articles will also draw in insights from related disciplines, including anthropology, economics, history, political science, nonlinear dynamic systems, and sociology.In particular, the journal seeks to further the understanding of key questions within terrorism research, including:What are the conditions that lead to the use of terrorist tactics?How can future terrorist attacks be predicted?How can terrorist attacks be prevented, or at least reduced?How are terrorists recruited?How can would-be terrorists and potential supporters be diverted?How do societies move towards democracies that do not foster terrorism?What is the impact of terrorism on societies that have been attacked?What are the effects of counterterrorism efforts on societies where such efforts are ongoing?How can recovery from the effects of terrorism on individuals and groups be expedited? Peer Review IntegrityAll articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two independent referees.Disclaimer Taylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.
