From its first volume in 1960, British Poultry Science has been a leading international journal for poultry scientists and advisers to the poultry industry throughout the world.Over 60% of the independently refereed papers published originate outside the UK. Most typically they report the results of biological studies with an experimental approach which either make an original contribution to fundamental science or are of obvious application to the industry. Subjects which are covered include: anatomy, embryology, biochemistry, biophysics, physiology, reproduction and genetics, behaviour, microbiology, endocrinology, nutrition, environmental science, food science, feeding stuffs and feeding, management and housing welfare, breeding, hatching, poultry meat and egg yields and quality.Papers that adopt a modelling approach or describe the scientific background to new equipment or apparatus directly relevant to the industry are also published. The journal also features rapid publication of Short Communications. Summaries of papers presented at the Spring Meeting of the UK Branch of the WPSA are now published in British Poultry Abstracts.

Le Bulletin de la Société de pathologie exotique (Bull. Soc. Pathol. Exot.) et la société savante (SPE) dont il est la vitrine ont été créés en 1908 par Alphonse Laveran, lauréat du prix Nobel de médecine l'année précédente pour ses travaux sur les protozoaires et la découverte de l’agent du paludisme. Destiné, dans un premier temps, à servir de support à la publication des travaux des sociétaires présentés en séance sous forme de communication ou de mémoire, ce périodique est devenu, au fil du temps, une revue internationale francophone multidisciplinaire, ouverte à tous les médecins, vétérinaires, anthropologues et chercheurs travaillant dans le domaine de la médecine tropicale humaine et animale et de la santé publique dans les pays en voie de développement. Le Bulletin de la SPE leur offre la possibilité de faire connaître leurs travaux sous forme d'articles ou de courtes notes, après acceptation par un comité de rédaction rigoureux appuyé par un comité de lecture constitué de spécialistes reconnus sur le plan international. L'intégralité des analyses et des critiques des lecteurs étant renvoyée aux auteurs, le bulletin joue également un rôle dans la formation universitaire et post-universitaire. Lorsque les auteurs de l'article ne sont pas francophones, les textes en anglais sont acceptés. Le Bulletin de la SPE (5 numéros par an), organe de liaison des professionnels de santé tropicale francophones, publie régulièrement, sous forme de résumés, les communications présentées aux réunions décentralisées de la SPE et à celles d'autres sociétés savantes, nationales et internationales impliquées dans la recherche en médecine tropicale. Les rubriques proposées vont de la virologie à l’anthropologie médicale en passant, entre autres, par la bactériologie, la mycologie, la parasitologie, la clinique, l'épidémiologie, la santé publique, la thérapeutique, l'entomologie, médicale… Dix-huit mois après leur parution, tous les articles sont accessibles gratuitement sur le site Internet de la SPE.

The Bulletin of the World Health Organization is published monthly in English, with French and Spanish summaries for each article by the World Health Organization (WHO). Established for more than 50 years as a leading research journal, the Bulletin of the World Health Organization was expanded in 1999. In line with sweeping changes preparing WHO for the new century, the Bulletin quickened its pace of publication and extended its editorial scope. Contributions from the social and behavioural sciences added to extend the journal's traditional coverage of biomedical and scientific research. Support from a prestigious Editorial Board, as well as from an extensive group of reviewers, has raised the standards of manuscript appraisal and acceptance even higher. By placing research findings and policy-relevant discussions side by side, the Bulletin aims to stimulate debate on public health policy and practice based on the best evidence available, while also encouraging closer links between scientific investigation and the challenge of helping populations to lead healthier lives. In selecting articles for publication, the editors continue to give priority to original findings that advance understanding of health problems - and ways to solve them - in a world where health concerns every country, and diseases respect no boundaries. Its abbreviated title, Bull World Health Organ, should be used in bibliographies, footnotes and bibliographical references and strips.
