The birth of the Journal of Robotic Surgery is perfectly timed as the field of robotics has evolved past its infancy and has proven itself to be a useful and lasting innovation. The use of robotics in surgery is now broad-based across multiple surgical specialties and will undoubtedly expand over the next decades as new technical innovation and techniques increase the applicability of its use. Currently, there is unprecedented enthusiasm worldwide for the application of robotics in surgery. However, there does seem to be a void in literary resources supporting the growth of this new field of surgery. Robotic articles are published in a variety of broad surgical journals, but none is seen as the leading resource for robotic surgical education. The aim of the Journal is to become the leading worldwide journal for publications of articles related to robotic surgery, encompassing surgical simulation and integrated imaging techniques. The journal provides a centralized, focused resource for physicians wishing to publish their experience or those wishing to educate themselves of the most up to date findings. The scope includes: Adult and pediatric urology: prostate cancer, bladder cancer, renal cancer, pyeloplasty, bladder reconstruction General surgery: esophageal, gastric, bariatric, liver, pancreatic, colon Cardiac: bypass, valves, anomalies Gynecology: perinatal, oncologic (ovarian, uterine) , benign (myomas, bladder suspension) ENT: cancer Orthopedics: reconstruction Neurosurgery: spine, brain Structure/ Content Reviews Original articles Techniques Tricks of the trade Video library resource Section focusing on private sector Review of meetings and books Current opinion Robotic survey Training and Education Simulat, ion and imaging

The Journal of Physical Chemistry A: Molecules, Clusters, and Aerosols; New Tools and Methods in Experiment and Theory
The Journal of Physical Chemistry A (JPC A) publishes experimental, theoretical, and computational research on the physical chemistry of molecules, ions, radicals, clusters, and aerosols. JPC A emphasizes applications in the areas of atmospheric and environmental chemistry, aerosol processes, molecular geochemistry, combustion, astrochemistry, plasmas, cold molecules, catalysis, and energetic materials, among others. JPC A also publishes manuscripts that describe new tools or methods that are of broad interest to the physical chemistry community.
An essential criterion for acceptance of research articles in the Journal is that they provide new physical insight. Please refer to this Collection on what constitutes new physical insight. Manuscripts that are essentially reporting data or applications of data are, in general, not suitable for publication in JPC A. However, section A4 includes articles on New Tools and Methods in Experiment and Theory where the requirement for new physical insights is relaxed.
Sections:
If you are unsure about whether your manuscript fits within the scope of JPC A, please contact the Editor-in-Chief (eic@jpc.acs.org). This Collection provides tips for creating high impact experimental and theory/computational manuscripts. Editorials with guidelines on computational and theory research can be found below:
The Lancet HIV launched in September 2014 as an exclusively online journal, publishing original research, expert commentary, informative editorials, and timely correspondence. The monthly journal provides readers with context and insight into the clinical advances and practice-changing research shaping the study of HIV/AIDS today.
Now is a critical moment in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Despite the world view that the end of AIDS may be within reach, the job of controlling this epidemic is certainly not done. As HIV disease evolves to become a chronic infection, the interaction of the virus with other chronic conditions will present a host of new challenges.The Lancet HIV is a journal for a new era in the history of HIV/AIDS.
The Lancet HIV builds onThe Lancet journals' reputation for publishing HIV/AIDS research to provide a reliable foundation for advocacy and for programmatic and political change. We will consider clinical, epidemiological, operational, and implementation research, unifying these disciplines across a single vision for the health of those living with HIV.
Following inThe Lancet tradition, the journal is stringently edited and peer-reviewed to ensure scientific merit and clinical relevance. All original research is Fast Track peer reviewed for online publication within 8 weeks of submission and receives global exposure to the medical HIV/AIDS community via our online platforms thelancet.com and ScienceDirect. For selected high-impact research, the journal has a dedicated press office to facilitate worldwide media coverage, ensuring extensive global exposure of your research.

Included in the Thomson Reuters Arts & Humanaities Citation IndexThird Text is an international scholarly journal dedicated to providing critical perspectives on art and visual culture. The journal examines the theoretical and historical ground by which the West legitimises its position as the ultimate arbiter of what is significant within this field. Established in 1987, the journal provides a forum for the discussion and (re)appraisal of theory and practice of art, art history and criticism, and the work of artists hitherto marginalised through racial, gender, religious and cultural differences. Dealing with diversity of art practices - visual arts, sculpture, installation, performance, photography, video and film - Third Text addresses the complex cultural realities that emerge when different worldviews meet, and the challenge this poses to Eurocentrism and ethnocentric aesthetic criteria. The journal aims to develop new discourses and radical interdisciplinary scholarships that go beyond the confines of eurocentricity.Peer Review Policy:All research articles published in this journal have undergone peer review based on initial editorial screening.Disclaimer for scientific, technical and social science publications:Taylor & Francis and Third Text makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.
