Few other areas of orthopedic surgery and traumatology have undergone such a dramatic evolution in the last 10 years as knee surgery, arthroscopy and sports traumatology. Ranked among the top 33% of journals in both Orthopedics and Sports Sciences, the goal of this European journal is to publish papers about innovative knee surgery, sports trauma surgery and arthroscopy. Each issue features a series of peer-reviewed articles that deal with diagnosis and management and with basic research. Each issue also contains at least one review article about an important clinical problem. Case presentations or short notes about technical innovations are also accepted for publication.The articles cover all aspects of knee surgery and all types of sports trauma; in addition, epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment and prevention, and all types of arthroscopy (not only the knee but also the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, ankle, etc.) are addressed. Articles on new diagnostic techniques such as MRI and ultrasound and high-quality a

Language Sciences is a forum for debate, conducted so as to be of interest to the widest possible audience, on conceptual and theoretical issues in the various branches of general linguistics. The journal is also concerned with bringing to linguists' attention current thinking about language within disciplines other than linguistics itself; relevant contributions from anthropologists, philosophers, psychologists and sociologists, among others, will be warmly received. In addition, the Editor is particularly keen to encourage the submission of essays on topics in the history and philosophy of language studies, and review articles discussing the import of significant recent works on language and linguistics.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports publishes original research in all aspects of Biochemistry, Biophysics and related areas like Molecular and Cell Biology. The primary criteria for acceptance are that the work is original, scientifically and technically sound and provides valuable knowledge to life sciences research.

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports welcomes cutting-edge science and in-depth studies from authors seeking open access publishing. In addition, we welcome promising though more preliminary, descriptive and small scale results if they have potential to stimulate and/or contribute to future research. We also encourage research reports covering negative findings, as well as reanalyses of previous datasets and studies leading to new insights or hypothesis. We strongly believe all these results deserve to be published and documented for the advancement of science.

The journal offers a high-quality, impartial and constructive review process. Editors and Reviewers work with the Authors to ensure that accepted papers present sound results to be shared in a structured way with the life sciences community.

Bioresource Technology Reports is an online-only rapid-publication journal focused on the fundamentals, applications and management of bioresource technology. Like its sister journal, Bioresource Technology, Bioresource Technology Reports' mission is to advance and disseminate knowledge in all the related areas of bioenergy, biotransformations and bioresource systems analysis, and technologies associated with conversion or production.

Bioresource Technology Reports publishes original articles, review articles, case studies and short communications. Alongside welcoming direct submissions, the journal will benefit from an Article Transfer Service which will allow the author(s) to transfer their manuscript online from Bioresource Technology thus saving authors time and effort spent on formatting and resubmitting. Papers may be suggested for transfer from Bioresource Technology to Bioresource Technology Reportsif they have a very strong applied element or are more focussed on a particular area. Bioresource Technology Reports will also be more considerate of papers with preliminary findings at an earlier stage of the research cycle, but these papers must be considered important for the scientific literature, to improve the replicability and scalability of the fundamental research.

The field of cellular and molecular bioengineering seeks to understand, so that we may ultimately control, the mechanical, chemical, and electrical processes of the cell.  A key challenge in improving human health is to understand how cellular behavior arises from molecular-level interactions.  CBME, an official journal of the Biomedical Engineering Society, publishes original research and review papers in the following seven general areas:

Molecular: DNA-protein/RNA-protein interactions, protein folding and function, protein-protein and receptor-ligand interactions, lipids, polysaccharides, molecular motors, and the biophysics of macromolecules that function as therapeutics or engineered matrices, for example.

Cellular: Studies of how cells sense physicochemical events surrounding and within cells, and how cells transduce these events into biological responses.  Specific cell processes of interest include cell growth, differentiation, migration, signal transduction, protein secretion and

This review aims to compare approaches to medical ethics and bioethics in two forms, Anglo-Saxon (Ethics, Medicine and Public Health) and French (Ethique, Médecine et Politiques Publiques). Thus, in their native languages, the authors will present research on the legitimacy of the practice and appreciation of the consequences of acts towards patients as compared to the limits acceptable by the community, as illustrated by the democratic debate.

Cette revue a pour objectif de comparer les approches de l'éthique médicale et de la bioéthique sous deux formes, anglo-saxonne (Ethics, Medicine and Public Health) et francophone (Ethique, Médecine et Politiques Publiques). Ainsi, dans leurs langues maternelles respectives, les auteurs présenteront des recherches sur la légitimité des pratiques et l'appréciation des conséquences des actes autant vis-à-vis des patients que vis-à-vis de la société en terme de débats démocratiques sur les limites acceptables par la collectivité.

Journal of Discrete Algorithms will be discontinued after 2018. We would like to express our sincere thanks to the authors, referees, and editors who contributed to the journal over past years. Published papers will remain available on ScienceDirect.

Journal of Discrete Algorithms aimed to facilitate communication between researchers in theoretical computer science who were concerned with the design and analysis of discrete algorithms. The Journal of Discrete Algorithms welcomed original papers in all areas of finite and discrete algorithm design and analysis.

The purpose of this journal was to feature new algorithms and data structures, new analyses or comparisons of known algorithms, complexity studies and well-focused review articles of currently-active subject areas. Articles in other areas of theoretical computer science were also considered when there was a clear connection to computational issues.

The Journal of Discrete Algorithms has pledged to maintain high quality standards, an openness to all approaches to the subject, a transparent reviewing policy, and a minimal delay between submission and publication.
