Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy® features interdisciplinary studies that build our understanding of the underlying mechanisms and therapeutic applications of antimicrobial and antiparasitic agents and chemotherapy. The journal also publishes studies involving animal models, pharmacological characterization, and clinical trials.

The Journal International Economics and Economic Policy publishes empirical and theoretical contributions, especially papers which are relevant for economic policy. The main focus of the journal is on comparative economic policy, international political economy, including international organizations and policy cooperation, monetary and real/technological dynamics in open economies, globalization and regional integration, trade, migration, international investment, internet commerce and regulation. IEEP particularly offers contributions from the policy community and provides a forum for exchange for the academic and policy community.Officially cited as: Int Econ Econ Policy

International Security publishes lucid, well-documented essays on all aspects of the control and use of force. Its articles cover contemporary policy issues, and probe historical and theoretical questions behind them. Essays in International Security have defined the debate on American national security policy and have set the agenda for scholarship on international security affairs.

Journal of Medicinal Chemistry publishes studies that contribute to an understanding of the relationship between molecular structure and biological activity or mode of action.

Some specific areas that are appropriate include the following:

• Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel biologically active compounds, diagnostic agents, or labeled ligands employed as pharmacological tools.
• Molecular modifications of reported series that lead to a significantly improved understanding of their structure-activity relationships (SAR). Routine extensions of existing series that do not utilize novel chemical or biological approaches or do not add significantly to a basic understanding of the SAR of the series will normally not be accepted for publication.
• Structural biological studies (X-ray, NMR, etc.) of relevant ligands and targets with the aim of investigating molecular recognition processes in the action of biologically active compounds.
• Molecular biological studies (e.g., site-directed mutagenesis) of macromolecular targets that lead to an improved understanding of molecular recognition.
• Computational studies that provide fresh insight into the SAR of compound series that are of current general interest or analysis of other available data that subsequently advance medicinal chemistry knowledge.
• Substantially novel computational chemistry methods with demonstrated value for the identification, optimization, or target interaction analysis of bioactive molecules.
• Effect of molecular structure on the distribution, pharmacokinetics, and metabolic transformation of biologically active compounds. This may include design, synthesis, and evaluation of novel types of prodrugs.
• Novel methodology with broad application to medicinal chemistry, but only if the methods have been tested on relevant molecules.

The Journal of Surgical Research: Clinical and Laboratory Investigation publishes original articles concerned with clinical and laboratory investigations relevant to surgical practice and teaching. The journal emphasizes reports of clinical investigations or fundamental research bearing directly on surgical management that will be of general interest to a broad range of surgeons and surgical researchers. The articles presented need not have been the products of surgeons or of surgical laboratories.The Journal of Surgical Research also features review articles and special articles relating to educational, research, or social issues of interest to the academic surgical community.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

JBCS is a formal quarterly publication of the Brazilian Computer Society. It is a peer-reviewed international journal which aims to serve as a forum to disseminate innovative research in all fields of computer science and related subjects. Theoretical, practical and experimental papers reporting original research contributions are welcome, as well as high quality survey papers. The journal is open to contributions in all computer science topics, computer systems development or in formal and theoretical aspects of computing, as the list of topics below is not exhaustive. Contributions will be considered for publication in JBCS if they have not been published previously and are not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Topics of interest for paper submissions include, but are not restricted to: computer architecture high-performance computing database management and information retrieval computational biology computer graphics data visualization image and video processing VLSI design, software-hardware codesign embedded systems software engineering geoinformatics human computer interaction artificial intelligence games, entertainment and virtual reality programming languages algorithms and theory of computing natural language processing computer networks and distributed systems robotics collaborative systems multimedia and hypermedia systems secure and fault-tolerant systems mobile and ubiquitous computin, g computers and applications (e.g. health, education, agriculture and music)

Nature Reviews' clinical content is written by internationally renowned clinical academics and researchers and targeted towards readers in the medical sciences, from postgraduate level upwards. While intended to be read by practicing doctors, researchers and academics within a specialty, we aim to make all our articles accessible to readers working in any medical discipline.In-depth Reviews present authoritative, up-to-date information on a topic, placing it in the context of a field's history and development. Topical discussion and opinions are proffered in Perspectives and News & Views articles, and in the Research Highlights section we filter primary research from a range of specialty and general medical journals. Finally, Case Studies enable authors to present novel and interesting cases and discuss the most useful features to bear in mind for treating future cases.Subjects covered * Rheumatoid arthritis * Osteoarthritis * Metabolic bone disease (including osteoporosis, osteonecrosis and Paget disease of bone) * Connective tissue diseases (including systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, antiphospholipid syndrome, Sjögren disease and Raynaud phenomenon) * Spondyloarthropathies (including ankylosing spondylitis, reactive arthritis and psoriatic arthritis) * Acute inflammatory arthritis (including monoarthritis, oligoarthritis, polyarthritis, infectious/septic arthritis, crystal deposition diseases and Lyme disease) * The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (including polymyositis, dermatomyositis, juvenile dermatomyositis and inclusion body myositis) * Fibromyalgia * Polymyalgia rheumatica * Vasculitis syndromes (including systemic vasculitides, and large, medium and small vessel vasculitides) * Periarticular rheumatic disease (including bursitis and tendonitis) * Pediatric rheumatic disease * Miscellaneous rheumatic diseases * Therapy (including pharmacotherapy, physical therapy, surgery, splinting, and complementary and alternative treatments) * Pain management * Rehabilitation * Epidemiology * Genetics * Immunology * Inflammation * Health services, economics and outcomes research.
