Aims and scope Environment, Development and Sustainability is an international and multidisciplinary journal covering all aspects of the environmental impacts of socio-economic development. It is also concerned with the complex interactions which occur between development and environment, and its purpose is to seek ways and means for achieving sustainability in all human activities aimed at such development. The subject matter of the journal includes the following and related issues: -mutual interactions among society, development and environment, and their implications for sustainable development -technical, economic, ethical and philosophical aspects of sustainable development -global sustainability - the obstacles and ways in which they could be overcome -local and regional sustainability initiatives, their practical implementation, and relevance for use in a wider context -development and application of indicators of sustainability -development, verification, implementation and monitoring of policies for sustainable development -sustainable use of land, water, energy and biological resources in development -impacts of agriculture and forestry activities on soil and aquatic ecosystems and biodiversity -effects of energy use and global climate change on development and sustainability -impacts of population growth and human activities on food and other essential resources for development -role of national and international agencies, and of international aid and trade arrangements in sustainable development -social and cultural contexts of sustainable development -role of education and public awareness in sustainable development -role of political and economic instruments in sustainable development -shortcomings of sustainable development and its alternatives. The journal welcomes scientific research papers, , review papers and discussion papers dealing with environmental sustainability issues from such fields as the biological sciences, agriculture, geology, meteorology, energy, food sciences, soil and water sciences, geography, nutrition, physical sciences, politics, economics, law, etc. The journal particularly welcomes papers that highlight more than one dimension of sustainable development.

Free Neuropathology is a non-commercial journal that is run by neuropathologists and other neuroscientists and publishes papers on human and experimental neuropathology. We define neuropathology as analysis of neurological disease using morphological or molecular techniques based on biospecimens (tissue, cells, biofluid etc). Papers on controversies, practice, history and education of neuropathology are also welcome. The journal is free for authors, free for readers, free from publishers, free from excessive formalities, and it encourages exchange of free opinions.

New Microbes and New Infections is an official publication of the https://www.escmid.org/European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID). It serves the field as a peer-reviewed, open access journal for rapid dissemination of the latest research, with a particular focus on new genomes, new microbes, and new technology applied to the diagnosis of infectious/tropical diseases. Article categories include first descriptions of a microbe in a country, first descriptions of resistance in a country, first case reports in a country and mini-reviews, as well as full length original articles. New Microbes and New Infections offers clinicians and researchers a rapid route to publication and the opportunity to publish in a highly visible global forum. The journal draws on the same expert panel of reviewers as http://www.journals.elsevier.com/clinical-microbiology-and-infection/Clinical Microbiology and Infection (CMI). This new journal’s emphasis on concise reports on specific topics distinguishes it from Clinical Microbiology and Infection, which will continue to publish manuscripts presenting basic and applied research in the fields of microbiology, infectious diseases, virology, parasitology, immunology and epidemiology. The open access format of New Microbes and New Infections ensures that accepted manuscripts will be rapidly published and fully accessible by interested professionals worldwide.
