The journal publishes both original research articles and reviews of historical accounts, latest progresses, and future directions in this rapidly advancing field. Papers deal with such topics as:

• transport and interactions of electrons, phonons, photons, and spins in solids
• interfacial energy transport and phase change processes
• microscale and nanoscale fluid and mass transport and chemical reaction
• molecular-level energy transport, storage, conversion, reaction, and phase transition

The aim of Natural Product Research is to publish important contributions in the field of natural product chemistry. The journal covers all aspects of research in the chemistry and biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds.The communications include coverage of work on natural substances of land and sea and of plants, microbes and animals. Discussions of structure elucidation, synthesis and experimental biosynthesis of natural products as well as developments of methods in these areas are welcomed in the journal. Finally, research papers in fields on the chemistry-biology boundary, eg. fermentation chemistry, plant tissue culture investigations etc., are accepted into the journal.Natural Product Research issues will be subtitled either "Part A - Synthesis and Structure" or "Part B - Bioactive Natural Products". for details on this , see the forthcoming articles section.All published research articles in Natural Product Research have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by expert referees.DisclaimerTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the "Content") contained in its publications.

Neotropical Biodiversity is an open-access, international, peer-reviewed journal that publishes original research articles and reviews of exceptional significance for biodiversity within the Neotropics. The journal covers all scales of biodiversity, including molecules, genes, populations, species, and ecosystems. General areas include, but are not restricted to, the following: anatomy, biogeography, computational biology, evolutionary developmental biology, molecular biology, biotechnology, conservation biology, ecology, evolution, landscape genomics, phylogenetic, paleontology, population biology, and taxonomy.

The main criteria for acceptance of reviews and research papers are originality, scientific rigour and appeal to an international readership.   Neotropical Biodiversity also publishes occasional monographs that clearly represent substantial contributions in a particular field. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is double blind. 

Neotropical Biodiversity es una revista científica de acceso abierto, internacional y revisada por pares. La revista publica artículos de investigación inéditos y artículos de revisión que tengan excepcional importancia para la biodiversidad de las regiones neotropicales. La revista abarca todos los niveles de biodiversidad, incluyendo mol éculas, genes, poblaciones, especies y ecosistemas. Las áreas generales incluyen, pero no se limitan, a las siguientes: anatomía, biogeografía, biología computacional, biología de la conservación, biología evolutiva del desarrollo, biología molecular, biología de poblaciones, biotecnología, ecología, evolución, genómica de paisaje, filogenética, paleontología y taxonomía.

Los principales criterios para la aceptación artículos de investigación y de revisión son la originalidad, el rigor científico y su relevancia para una audiencia internacional. Neotropical Biodiversity también publica monografías de manera esporádica, aunque únicamente se considerarán aquellas que claramente representen aportaciones significativas en un campo del conocimiento determinado. Todos los manuscritos enviados son objeto de una evaluación inicial por parte del editor y, si son considerados apropiados para una evaluación posterior, se someten a una revisión por pares expertos, independientes y anónimos. Todas las revisiones se llevan a cabo mediante el sistema doble ciego (double-blind review).

The Journal provides a forum for integrating theoretical and experimental findings in computational neuroscience across relevant interdisciplinary boundaries. Rapidly accumulating empirical data in the neurobiological, psychological and cognitive domains provide important constraints for new theoretical models. The Journal aims to present such theoretical results, and make them accessible to neurobiologists, psychologists and cognitive scientists.
