The journal is committed to high standards

Aims and Scope:Metabolic Engineering (MBE) is devoted to the publication of original research papers on the directed modulation of metabolic pathways for metabolite over production or the improvement of cellular properties. Papers describing native pathway engineering and synthesis of heterologous pathways for converting microorganisms into microbial cell factories are also welcome.Experimental, computational, and modelling approaches for the elucidation of metabolic pathways and their manipulation by genetic, media, or other environmental means are presented. Efficient probing of metabolic pathways requires the application of appropriate methods from molecular biology and biochemistry, along with modeling and data analysis techniques from engineering. MBE provides a forum for communicating such interdisciplinary research, as well as relevant results in the constituent areas of biochemistry, molecular biology, applied microbiology, cellular physiology, cellular nutrition in health and disease, and biochemical engineering.Types of papers:Original Research Papers, Review Papers.

Natural Language & Linguistic Theory provides a forum for the discussion of theoretical research that pays close attention to natural language data, offering a channel of communication between researchers of a variety of points of view. The journal actively seeks to bridge the gap between descriptive work and work of a highly theoretical, less empirically oriented nature. In attempting to strike this balance, the journal presents work that makes complex language data accessible to those unfamiliar with the language area being studied and work that makes complex theoretical positions more accessible to those working outside the theoretical framework under review. Natural Language & Linguistic Theory features: generative studies on the syntax, semantics, phonology and the lexicon of natural language surveys of recent theoretical developments that facilitate accessibility for a graduate student readership reactions/replies to recent papers book reviews of important linguistics titles special topic issu

The Journal of zoology is one of the series issued twice by the Egyptian Academic Journal of Biological Sciences . It is an important specialist journal covering the latest advances in that subject. The Journal of Zoology publishes high-quality papers of an original nature in areas of zoology that are novel and in particular are interdisciplinary. Zoology is a broad field that embraces many disciplines including anatomy, behaviors, ecology, physiology, genomics, developmental and systematic biology, and genetics including phylogenetics. The main objective of the Journal of Zoology is to publish research which explores the interface between these disciplines. Editors will be particularly looking for studies that explore this vision and manuscripts which cater for a narrow readership or of restricted interest are likely to be rejected at this early stage. The Journal of Zoology aims to maintain an effective and fair peer-review process that recognizes research's quality as a combination of the relevance, approach and execution of a research study. The journal also welcomes reviews and forum papers on current issues, particularly where topics of a complex or poorly understood field are synthesized. In addition to that, the journal promotes research on the impact of living organisms on their environment with emphasis on subjects such a resource, depletion, pollution, biodiversity, ecosystem…..etc.
