The aim of Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology is to serve as a forum for scientifically based information in community dentistry, with the intention of continually expanding the knowledge base in the field. The scope is therefore broad, ranging from original studies in epidemiology, behavioral sciences related to dentistry, and health services research through to methodological reports in program planning, implementation and evaluation. Reports dealing with people of all age groups are welcome. The journal encourages manuscripts which present methodologically detailed scientific research findings from original data collection or analysis of existing databases. Preference is given to new findings. Confirmations of previous findings can be of value, but the journal seeks to avoid needless repetition. It also encourages thoughtful, provocative commentaries on subjects ranging from research methods to public policies. Purely descriptive reports are not encouraged, nor are behavioral science reports with only marginal application to dentistry. The journal is published bimonthly.

Companion Animal Health and Genetics is an open access journal focused on advancing the health and welfare of domesticated animals/pets by providing new clinical, genetic, and epidemiological insights.

Companion Animal Health and Genetics accepts articles on the health and welfare of all companion animals, such as cats, dogs, horses, rodents, rabbits, birds, exotic pets, and fish. It welcomes clinical research articles, case reports, commentary, letters to the Editor, reviews, short reports on but not limited to the areas of internal medicine, emergency medicine and critical care, cardiology, oncology, neurology, dermatology, ophthalmology, pathology, diagnostic imaging, and clinical genetics. Additionally, the journal welcomes research on genetic and epidemiological studies that contribute to a better understanding of risk factors for diseases, disease patterns and the impact of breeding on animal health. Due to their relevance and close genetic link, these studies may also include wild ancestors of companion animals.

Edited by: Professor Jeffrey Haynes and Professor Gordon CrawfordDemocratization aims to promote a better understanding of democratization 8211; defined as the way democratic norms, institutions and practices evolve and are disseminated both within and across national and cultural boundaries. While the focus is on democratization viewed as a process, the journal also builds on the enduring interest in democracy itself and its analysis. The emphasis is contemporary and the approach comparative, with the publication of scholarly contributions about those areas where democratization is currently attracting considerable attention world-wide. There is special reference to democratization in the developing world and in post-communist societies, but not to the exclusion of other relevant areas such as North America, Australasia, and the European Union and its member states.The journal aims to encourage debate on the many aspects of democratization that are of interest to policy-makers, administrators and journalists, aid and development personnel, as well as to all those involved in education.Peer ReviewAll research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by anonymous referees.
