Journal Guide

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene is an Official Journal of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene publishes original, peer-reviewed articles, and invited reviews across a broad range of topics relevant to the Society's goals, including: - clinical tropical medicine - infectious diseases - parasitology and entomology - microbiology and virology - epidemiology - chemotherapy - immunology - public health, including social science A key objective is to present the results of research that are broadly intelligible to workers from a range of disciplines. We welcome articles on translational research that may impact directly on clinical and public health practice in developing countries and those describing the application of new technologies in tropical medicine. Non-communicable diseases are of increasing importance in developing countries and we are keen to receive high quality papers in this field. We will invite regular reviews on important, topical or neglected topics and welcome updates on progress with major global partnership programmes. We will also publish peer-reviewed supplements from leading groups of experts. These supplements provide an opportunity for an in-depth review of available knowledge within a particular field and we are particulary suited to the detailed review of field trials of new vaccines and therapies or the progress of major disease control programmes. We publish articles from Fellows of the Society and non-Fellows alike and will continue to fulfil an important role as a vehicle for publication of original scientific papers presented at Society meetings. We also wish to encourage debate through letters to the Editor.

Established in 1942 by the American Society for Aesthetics, The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism publishes current research articles, symposia, special issues, and timely book reviews in aesthetics and the arts. The term aesthetics, in this connection, is understood to include all studies of the arts and related types of experience from a philosophic, scientific, or other theoretical standpoint. The arts are taken to include not only the traditional forms such as music, literature, landscape architecture, dance, painting, architecture, sculpture, and other visual arts, but also more recent additions such as photography, film, earthworks, performance and conceptual art, the crafts and decorative arts, contemporary digital innovations, and other cultural practices, including work and activities in the field of popular culture. The Journal takes a theoretical and interdisciplinary approach to the arts and aesthetic matters. Its authors include artists, writers, and academics in the fields of philosophy, English literature, comparative literature, art, music, theater and drama, art history, psychology, law, and related disciplines. The Journal and the American Society for Aesthetics also sponsor the biannual John Fisher Memorial Prize in Aesthetics in honor of John Fisher, editor of the Journal from 1973-1988. The Prize is offered to foster the development of new voices and talent in the field of aesthetics.

It aims to bring together international scientific and public health experts to publish research which will change medical practice and add informed analysis and opinion to scientific and policy debates. It is committed to advancing health for all people around the world. As such it will be an indispensable resource for all those with an interest in international health issues.We particularly welcome papers which relate to the development of health care systems world wide including:• Social and economic aspects of disease, both communicable and non-communicable• Evaluation of disease control programmes• Health systems research and policy• Management and economics of healthcare.

Memoirs is a series devoted to the publication of research in all areas of pure and applied mathematics. Manuscripts accepted for publication are similar in nature to those published in Transactions of the American Mathematical Society and meet the same editorial requirements. To be accepted by the editorial board, manuscripts must be correct, new, and significant. Further, they must be well written and of interest to a substantial number of mathematicians. Each issue contains either a single monograph or a group of related papers. A subscription consists of six mailings, each typically containing four or more numbers. Electronic and print formats.

Information Visualization is essential reading for researchers and practitioners of information visualization and is of interest to computer scientists and data analysts working on related specialisms. This journal is an international, peer-reviewed journal publishing articles on fundamental research and applications of information visualization.
