ournal of Plant Registrations publishes cultivar, germplasm, parental line, genetic stock, and mapping population registration manuscripts. The journal is published online on an open-access basis. The print version of the journal ships three times a year to subscribers of Crop Science. The Journal of Plant Registrations will accept registrations of plant material with documented novel and unique characteristics compared to available accession sources of a particular species. Perspective or review papers on historical plant material, the registration process, or related topics may also be accepted with approval of the editor and after review.

Journal of Proteome Research is a monthly peer-reviewed journal dedicated to research across all aspects of global protein and metabolite analysis and function. The emphasis of the journal is on a multidisciplinary approach to the life sciences through the synergy between the different types of "omics".

Topics may include, but are not limited to:

• Proteomics (bulk and single cell)
• Metabolomics (bulk and single cell)
• Mass Spectrometry Imaging (proteins, peptides, and metabolites)
• Proteogenomics
• Metaproteomics
• Lipidomics
• Interactomics- Affinity purification MS, Crosslinking MS, Proximity Analysis, Two Hybrid Methods
• Protein Footprinting, 3D Proteomics
• Multi-omics system analysis
• Computational methods including bioinformatics, artificial intelligence and machine learning, or other software tools to aid in data analysis and analysis of experimental systems.
• Methods for multi-omics analyses
• Development of methods and application to new areas, including studies in paleobiology, archeology, rare species (e.g., Komodo dragon), and forensic science, to name a few.

Journal of Proteomics is an official journal of the European Proteomics Association (EuPA) and is aimed at both European and international protein scientists and analytical chemists in the field of proteomics, biomarker discovery, protein analytics, plant proteomics, microbial and animal proteomics, human studies, tissue imaging by mass spectrometry, non-conventional and non-model organism proteomics, and protein bioinformatics. The journal welcomes papers in new and upcoming areas such as metabolomics, genomics, systems biology, toxicogenomics, pharmacoproteomics.Journal of Proteomics unifies both fundamental scientists and clinicians, and includes translational research. Suggestions for reviews, webinars and thematic issues are welcome. All manuscripts are strictly peer reviewed and conform the highest ethical standards. Journal of Proteomics also publishes official EuPA reports and participates in the International Proteomics Tutorial Programme with HUPO and other partners.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

This widely respected journal presents the latest laboratory and clinical studies on biological receptors and associated signal transduction pathways for ligands involved in the regulation of central and peripheral tissues and cells, including the immune system, thus covering the field from neurotransmitters to peptides, steroids, growth factors, cytokines and drugs. The Journal of Receptors and Signal Transduction rapidly communicates important research results to the international scientific community in a variety of stimulating formats, including original and review papers, brief communications, solicited and unsolicited mini reviews, and symposia proceedings. The Journal of Receptors and Signal Transduction maintains a rigorous peer-review process that ensures the originality, timeliness, and significance of topics covered, such as: * pharmacology of receptors and channels * physicochemical and biophysical properties * modeling * molecular biology and genetics * structure and function of receptors and channels * signal transduction pathways * pathology of receptors and channels * molecular strategies for designing drugs acting on receptors * receptors in the diagnosis and therapy of disease and much more!.

Journal of Solution Chemistry offers a forum for research on the physical chemistry of liquid solutions in such fields as physical chemistry, chemical physics, molecular biology, statistical mechanics, biochemistry, and biophysics. The emphasis is on papers in which the solvent plays a dominant rather than incidental role. Featured topics include experimental investigations of the dielectric, spectroscopic, thermodynamic, transport, or relaxation properties of both electrolytes and nonelectrolytes in liquid solutions.

The editorial mission of the Journal of Sport Rehabilitation (JSR) is to advance the understanding of all aspects of sport rehabilitation, particularly in the areas of therapeutic exercise, therapeutic modalities, injury evaluation, and the psychological aspects of rehabilitation. JSR publishes original research, systematic reviews/meta-analyses, critically appraised topics (CATs), and case studies/series that directly affect the management and rehabilitation of injuries incurred during sport-related activities, irrespective of the individual’s age, gender, sport ability, level of fitness, or health status. The journal is intended to provide an international, multidisciplinary forum to serve the needs of all members of the sports medicine team, including athletic trainers/therapists, sport physical therapists/physiotherapists, sports medicine physicians, and other health care and medical professionals.

The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is devoted to new experimental and theoretical developments in areas related to steroids. The Journal publishes a variety of contributions, including original articles, general and focused reviews, and rapid communications (brief articles of particular interest and clear novelty). Selected cutting-edge topics will be addressed in Special Issues managed by Guest Editors. Special Issues will contain both commissioned reviews and invited original research to provide comprehensive coverage of specific topics, and all articles will undergo rigorous peer-review prior to publication. The JSBMB publishes experimental work, review articles and letters (commentaries).Manuscripts relating to unsolved issues in genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, structural biology, steroid chemistry, cell biology, molecular medicine, and clinical medicine, are encouraged. Both basic and clinical areas of research are within the scope of the Journal, provided they address mechanisms or yield a functional explanation of processes involving steroids. A further aim of the Journal is to provide steroid-related tools, synthesis and analysis methods, and reference data.Contributions on case studies or descriptions of new compounds should provide new functional data. Otherwise they will be not considered. Reports on translational research are encouraged.The aims of the Journal cover studies on steroid signal transduction pathways, functional annotation of genes and kinetics of metabolic pathways, as well as the creation of enduring and validated resources for metabolomics and systems biology analyses. Furthermore, the Journal also publishes results on lipid research, functional association studies or 'omics' that are instrumental in our understanding of common complex human diseases like metabolic syndrome, diabetes or obesity. Further aspects like steroid-related cancers or neurosteroids are within the scope of the Journal. The Journal aims to enhance our understanding, and the development of approaches to study, the interplay between the environment, genomes, metabolism and disease.Studies that are based on observations performed in a single cell line will not generally be viewed favourably for publication. The experiments should ideally include experiments with comparable cell lines to demonstrate generality or specificity of the effects or mechanisms.US National Institutes of Health (NIH) voluntary posting ("Public Access") policyJournal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and Elsevier facilitate the author's response to the NIH Public Access Policy.
