Organogenesis is a peer-reviewed journal, available in print and online, that publishes significant advances on all aspects of organ development. The journal covers organogenesis in all multi-cellular organisms and also include research into tissue engineering, artificial organs and organ substitutes.The overriding criteria for publication in Organogenesis are originality, scientific merit and general interest. The audience of the journal consists primarily of researchers and advanced students of anatomy, developmental biology and tissue engineering.The emphasis of the journal is on experimental papers (full-length and brief communications), but it will also publish reviews, hypotheses and commentaries. The Editors encourage the submission of addenda, which are essentially auto-commentaries on significant research recently published elsewhere with additional insights, new interpretations or speculations on a relevant topic. If you have interesting data or an original hypothesis about organ development or artificial organs, please send a pre-submission inquiry to the Editor-in-Chief. You will normally receive a reply within days. All manuscripts will be subjected to peer review, and accepted manuscripts will be posted to the electronic site of the journal immediately and will appear in print at the earliest opportunity thereafter.Advertisements.

PRIMUS: Problems, Resources, and Issues in Mathematics Undergraduate Studies is a refereed journal devoted to dialogue and exchange of ideas among those interested in teaching undergraduate mathematics. This includes those who prepare students for college level mathematics, those who teach college level mathematics, and those who receive students who have been taught college level mathematics.Each issue contains relevant and worthwhile material for those interested in collegiate mathematics education. While the primary interest is in first person descriptive and narrative articles about implemented teaching strategies and interesting mathematics, there is also opportunity for writing broad survey articles, formal studies of new teaching approaches, assessments of planned and in place strategies, and general discussion writing on teaching undergraduate mathematics.The journal motto, 8220;The lightning spark of the thought generated in the solitary mind awakens in another mind . . .8221; by the Scottish essayist Thomas Carlyle means that publishing in PRIMUS is a way of sharing ideas so that others can use and build upon the author's efforts. We welcome your ideas and experiences.

Palynology is an international journal, and covers all aspects of the science. We accept papers on both pre-Quaternary and Quaternary palynology and palaeobotany. Contributions on novel uses of palynology, review articles, book reviews, taxonomic studies and papers on methodology are all actively encouraged. The AASP Newsletter is available at http://www.palynology.org/pub.html#nl The image used in the cover of Palynology was obtained using the following process: 1. Fresh pollen from anthers were processed using acetolysis 2. infiltrated with 2,2'-thiodiethanol (TDE), a mounting medium for high-resolution microscopy 3. A 3-D image stack was acquired using an Olympus FV1000 laser scanning confocal microscope with a 100x/1.4 oil immersion objective (Excitation 488 nm, emission 500-600nm) 4. Imported the entire confocal stack into Osiri X 3D medical imaging software running on an iMac with 4GB of RAM. 5. Selected every fifth slice in the stack for rendering, in order to fit the stacks into the 4GB memory limit addressable by a 32-bit operating system 6. Perform 3D rendering using a color map optimized for bones and soft tissue 7. Adjusted the color map and transparency, in order to show both the exterior surface textures and the interior wall structures Work for this image was performed by Vaughn M.

Peace Review is a quarterly, multidisciplinary, transnational journal of research and analysis, focusing on the current issues and controversies that underlie the promotion of a more peaceful world. Social progress requires, among other things, sustained intellectual work, which should be pragmatic as well as analytical. The results of that work should be ingrained into everyday culture and political discourse. We define peace research very broadly to include peace, human rights, development, ecology, culture and related issues. The task of the journal is to present the results of this research and thinking in short, accessible and substantive essays. Each issue develops a particular theme, however, we run both on-theme and off-theme essays.Project Censored Award Winner 2000For the year 2000, Peace Review was awarded Project Censored's Top 25 Most Censored Stories for not merely one, but two of its essays. Both articles were rated in the Top 14 Stories, both of which appeared in the June 1999 issue:Ramsay Liem, "Famine in North Korea" and Yuh Ji-Yeon, "Dangerous Communists, Inscrutable Orientals, Starving Masses"Project Censored is a US media group, which for more than 20 years has been trying to highlight important national and international news stories that have either been ignored or intentionally marginalized in the mainstream media.For more information on Project Censored visit their website: www.projectcensored.org.Peer Review Policy:All review papers in this journal have undergone editorial screening and peer review.
