Journal Guide

Launched in 1995, Genome Research is an international, continuously published, peer-reviewed journal that focuses on research that provides novel insights into the genome biology of all organisms, including advances in genomic medicine.Among the topics considered by the journal are genome structure and function, comparative genomics, molecular evolution, genome-scale quantitative and population genetics, proteomics, epigenomics, and systems biology. The journal also features exciting gene discoveries and reports of cutting-edge computational biology and high-throughput methodologies.New data in these areas are published as research papers, or methods and resource reports that provide novel information on technologies or tools that will be of interest to a broad readership. Complete data sets are presented electronically on the journal's web site where appropriate. The journal also provides Reviews, Perspectives, and Insight/Outlook articles, which present commentary on the latest advances published both here and elsewhere, placing such progress in its broader biological context.

Analytical and computational models based on solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, or thermomechanics and their interactions are strongly emphasized. In addition, the journal encourages reports on new experimental methods that expand measurement capabilities and new mathematical methods that facilitate analysis.

Body, Space & Technology (BST) is a leading journal of contemporary artistic practice and research
and joined the OLH platform in Summer 2017. Since it launched in 2000, BST has built a strong
reputation for scholarly quality and innovation, as well as fostering a global academic community
around its published content. BST publishes research into artistic practice that engages with digital
technologies, particularly as these relate to bodily interaction and creativity, and in multi-disciplinary
perspectives. The journal is led by an Editorial Board of international experts.
At BST we are responsive to new artistic developments guided by artists’ own reflections on events
and the directions they choose to take. The Journal welcomes international readership and
contributions from artists and academics from all over the world. We remain committed to being an
open access publication and support innovation and experimentation in the Arts, in whatever form it
takes or processes from which it arises. We invite readers to be stimulated by the Journal and hope it
encourages submissions that will surprise and perhaps even lead to unexpected instances of research
and creativity.

The language of the CEJP is English.Distinguished physicists sit on the Editorial Board, e.g. Ingolf Lindau, John H. Weaver, Vladimir Zakharov (the former head of the Landau Institute) and Frank Wilczek (2004 Nobel Prize laureate). Profe

ChemistrySelect is the latest journal from ChemPubSoc Europe, an organization of 16 continental European chemical societies, and complements the existing titles published in collaboration with Wiley-VCH. The steady increase in submissions to the top titles is forcing them to become increasingly selective, and as such, often good research articles are failing to find a home within the ChemPubSoc Europe family of journals. To fill this considerable need, ChemPubSoc Europe decided to launch ChemistrySelect. A sister journal to Chemistry—A European Journal, ChemPlusChem and ChemistryOpen, ChemistrySelect offers researchers around the world a quality society-owned journal in which to publish their work.

Intended to cover, in the broadest sense, all areas of chemistry and adjacent fields, ChemistrySelect offers authors diverse scope and broad dissemination of their latest research. ChemistrySelect publishes Reviews, Full Papers and Communications covering all areas of the chemical sciences, from biochemistry and chemical biology, through to physical chemistry and materials sciences.
