The Journal of Organizational Computing and Electronic Commerce publishes original research articles concerned with the impacts of computer and communication technology on organizational design, operations, and performance. It serves as a forum for stimulating and disseminating research as to the implications of these technologies for organizational structure and dynamics, the technological advances needed to keep pace with organizational changes, and the emerging technological possibilities for improving organizational performance. The journal's focus is not on computing as it relates to individuals. Theoretical, experimental, and survey research are all appropriate to the Journal of Organizational Computing and Electronic Commerce. The journal's major editorial areas are enterprise systems, computer-supported cooperative work, groupware, computer-aided coordination, supply chain technologies, interorganizational systems, collaborative commerce, e-commerce, economics of organizational computing, technologies for organizational learning, and behavioral aspects of organizational computing. The refereeing of papers in each of these areas is directed by the Editor-in-Chief, a Senior Editor, or an Associate Editor. The journal also publishes relevant book reviews, meeting announcements, brief notes, and software reviews. JOCEC is not a computer science journal.Bibliometric study of the actual publishing behaviors exhibited by tenured IS faculty members at leading public research universities in the U.S. reveals: As a group, these senior scholars have published more articles in JOCEC than in any other information systems journal, with only five exceptions (i.e., it ranks 6th among all of the >>100 journals devoted to IS).Among specialty journals devoted to IS, JOCEC ranks 1st on this same criterion. In addition, a larger percentage of these senior scholars have published in JOCEC than in any other information systems journal, with only five exceptions (i.e., again, it ranks 6th among all of the >>100 journals devoted to IS).Among specialty journals devoted to IS, JOCEC ranks 1st on this same criterion. A follow-up study shows that these results for JOCEC are robust, regardless of whether the actual publishing behaviors are those for leading public or private research universities.

The Journal of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry (JTCC) is an international interdisciplinary journal, aimed at providing comprehensive coverage on the latest developments of research in the ever-expanding area of theoretical and computational chemistry and their applications to broad scientific fields spanning physics, chemistry, biology, materials, and so on.With the proliferation of sub-fields in the application of theoretical chemistry and the explosion of applications in various scientific fields, it is difficult these days for us to keep up with all the new research developments in these cross-disciplinary fields. We hope this journal will serve as a major single source of information on the latest research that can be broadly defined to be in the general area of theoretical and computational chemistry.The journal publishes original contributions on broad aspects: from both the development of fundamental theoretical methodology and computational algorithm to extensive numerical applications to specific scientific problems ranging from gas-phase to condensed phase, and to biological systems. It covers general research areas broadly defined as quantum chemistry, chemical dynamics, statistical mechanics, and chemical biology.

Mathematics in Computer Science (MCS) publishes high-quality original research papers on the development of theories and methods for computer and information sciences, the design, implementation, and analysis of algorithms and software tools for mathematical computation and reasoning, and the integration of mathematics and computer science for scientific and engineering applications.

Molecular systems biology is an integrative discipline that seeks to explain the properties and behaviour of complex biological systems in terms of their molecular components and their interactions.Molecular Systems Biology is a peer-reviewed author-pays online journal that publishes full-length papers and accompanying synopses describing original research in the field of molecular systems biology and which focuses on the analysis, integration and modeling of molecular and cellular phenomena. Since molecular systems biology relies on a variety of computational and high-throughput technologies, the journal makes full use of the online to allow reader interaction with data and models presented in the published articles.Topics falling within the scope of the journal include, but are not limited to:* Proteomics* Metabolomics* Functional genomics* Structural genomics* Transcriptomics* Computational biology* Bioinformatics* Theoretical biology* Synthetic biologyMolecular Systems Biology aims to provide:The most integrative coverage: Molecular Systems Biology facilitates the integration of the individual subject areas that make up the overall field of molecular systems biology by ensuring that all research papers are accessible to all readers. This is done in three main ways:* All papers have a brief 'synopsis', which explains the findings and significance of the research. These will be written by the authors, with help from in-house editorial staff* Many papers are covered by News and Views articles. These are written by experts in the field and aim to place the research in a broader context* Rich linking from papers allows readers access to related databases and other web resourcesA forum for setting standards: The world-class Senior Editors and editorial board of Molecular Systems Biology will enable the journal to become a forum for the publication of papers that set the standards in this emerging field. Papers that aim to do this will be given special consideration, and readers will be encouraged to comment on the journal's 'feedback forum'.Unparalleled editorial support: No other journal in the field of systems biology offers the same level of editorial support as Molecular Systems Biology. Our in-house PhD-qualified editorial staff will work with the authors of all research papers to ensure that the synopses and manuscripts are as accessible and readable as possible, and they will commission accompanying 'News & Views' and review articles.The latest technological developments: Molecular Systems Biology is first journal from the Nature Publishing Group stable to accept data in the systems biology mark-up language (SBML) format.
