BMC Microbiology is an open access journal publishing original peer-reviewed research articles in analytical and functional studies of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms, viruses and small parasites, as well as host and therapeutic responses to them, and their interaction with the environment.

BEPAM is a CIB-recognised journal that provides a niche forum to address interfaces between project management and asset management of building and civil engineering infrastructure.

China Agricultural Economic review publishes quality research in the economics of agriculture, rural development, natural resources and the environment, providing an in-depth analysis of Chinese agricultural reform and practice.

Energy & Environmental Materials (EEM) is an international journal published by Zhengzhou University in collaboration with John Wiley & Sons, Inc. for the publication of high quality, agenda-setting research related to materials for energy harvesting, conversion, storage, and transport as well as cleaner environment. EEM publishes research work of significant general interest with high impact on society-relevant technological advances.

Management of Environmental Quality is an international forum designed to examine factors that impact the environment, their consequences, and how to manage them.

MABR is a peer-reviewed journal on maritime business environment, covering maritime business and uses multi-disciplinary approach. Published in association with Pacific Star Group Educational Foundation.

The Musicological Annual is a scientific journal that is primarily focused on publishing the most recent papers in the fields of historical and systematic musicology in the local and international environments. Special attention is devoted to researching Slovenian musical heritage, i.e. music that is in one way or another linked to the Slovenian cultural environment.

The RBPI publishes articles on themes related to International Relations (politics, economics, sociology, security, history, foreign policy, environment and other pressing matters of contemporary relevance), valuing inter-disciplinary approaches. The journal is receptive to a wide array of methodological traditions.

International Polymer Processing, the journal of the Polymer Processing Society, is a discussion forum for the world-wide community of engineers and scientists in the broad and innovative field of polymer processing.

The journal publishes papers of international significance relating to the science, economics, and policy of agricultural water management. In all cases, manuscripts must address implications and provide insight regarding agricultural water management.The primary topics that we consider are the following:• Farm-level and regional water management• Crop water relations, crop yields and water productivity • Irrigation, drainage, and salinity in cultivated areas• Salinity management and strategies for improving the use of saline water in agriculture• Rainwater harvesting and crop water management in rainfed areas• Use of wastewater and other low quality waters in agriculture • Groundwater management in agriculture and conjunctive use of groundwater and surface water• Implications of groundwater and surface water management on nutrient cycling• Exploitation and protection of agricultural water resources.Additional topics of interest include interactions between agricultural water management and the environment (flooding, soil erosion, nutrient loss and depletion, non-point source pollution, water quality, desertification, and the potential implications of global climate change for agricultural water management), and the institutional and regulatory aspects of agricultural water management (water pricing, allocation and competition).Papers in these categories must draw direct and practical linkages to agricultural water management. Manuscripts drawing generalised conclusions, such as that competition for water will increase in future, or that less water will be available for agriculture, are unlikely to be considered.Also, manuscripts describing basic soil-water-plant relationships, basic engineering and hydrology, or methods of estimating evapotranspiration will be considered only if the discussion is relevant to the active management of water in agriculture and the information enhances international literature.

The mission of Nanomedicine: Nanotechnology, Biology, and Medicine (Nanomedicine: NBM) is to promote the emerging interdisciplinary field of nanomedicine.Nanomedicine: NBM is an international, peer-reviewed journal presenting novel, significant, and interdisciplinary theoretical and experimental results related to nanoscience and nanotechnology in the life sciences. Content includes basic, translational, and clinical research addressing diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, prediction, and prevention of diseases. In addition to bimonthly issues, the journal website (http://www.nanomedjournal.com) also presents important nanomedicine-related information, such as future meetings, meeting summaries, funding opportunities, societal subjects, public health, and ethical issues of nanomedicine.The potential scope of nanomedicine is broad, and we expect it to eventually involve all aspects of medicine. Sub-categories include synthesis, bioavailability, and biodistribution of nanomedicines; delivery, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics of nanomedicines; imaging; diagnostics; improved therapeutics; innovative biomaterials; interactions of nanomaterials with cells, tissues, and living organisms; regenerative medicine; public health; toxicology; point of care monitoring; nutrition; nanomedical devices; prosthetics; biomimetics; and bioinformatics.Article formats include Communications, Original Articles, Reviews, Perspectives, Technical and Commercialization Notes, and Letters to the Editor. We invite authors to submit original manuscripts in these categories. The journal website (http://www.nanomedjournal.com) also presents important nanomedicine-related information, such as future meetings, meeting summaries, funding opportunities, societal subjects, public health, and ethical issues of nanomedicine.

Bulgarian Society of Medical Sciences Journal (BSMS) is a peer-reviewed, open-access, online and print, integrative journal of the Bulgarian Society of Medical Sciences, which aims to establish a tradition of meaningful writing that, seriously and unhurriedly, addresses ideas and researches important to the development of medicine. We beg the question how to think of medicine as a science without turning it into a politically-scientific vehicle for advancement and career development for its own sake. The material to be published should be useful to a wide range of professionals from different specialties. The journal has a special interest in history of medicine as a science, undeniably necessary to think properly about the future and the continuity of knowledge.

Annals of Plastic Surgery is the only independent journal devoted to general plastic and reconstructive surgery. It provides a forum for current scientific and clinical advances and a sounding board for ideas and perspectives on the future of plastic surgery. The journal publishes original, peer-reviewed articles, case reports, and notes on all topics of interest to the practicing plastic surgeon. Annals of Plastic Surgery also features historical and current reviews, descriptions of surgical techniques, and lively editorials and letters to the editor.
