Journal Guide

The Canadian Journal of Human Sexuality (CJHS), published since 1992, is the scholarly, peer reviewed journal of the Sex Information and Education Council of Canada (SIECCAN). The journal publishes articles from a variety of disciplines related to the study of human sexuality. The journal prioritizes the publication of scholarship addressing the sexuality and sexual and reproductive health of Canadians. However, articles from other countries are also welcomed.

The Journal of Parasitology is the official journal of the American Society of Parasitologists (ASP). The Journal is nonprofit and dues of the membership support the cost of publication. Manuscripts in English are accepted from investigators in any country regardless of whether they are members of the Society. The Journal publishes official business of the ASP and results of new original research, primarily on parasitic animals.

Brain-Computer Interfaces ( BCI) publishes high quality, original research articles encompassing analysis of theoretical and practical advances in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology.  Articles should expand upon novel and innovative research where the methods, analysis and conclusions are robust and of the highest standard.

• scientific investigation of patterns of brain activity that can, or show promise to be able to, be used to drive BCI applications.
• development and evaluation of signal processing methods that extract signal features, classify them, and otherwise translate brain signals into device commands.
• new invasive and noninvasive methods to monitor and acquire brain signals.
• applications of BCI technology to understand human perception, affect, action, and various aspects of cognition and behavior.
• ethical and sociological implications of BCI applications.
• human factors and human-computer interaction (HCI) concerns in the design, development and evaluation of BCIs.
• clinical trials and individual case studies of the experimental therapeutic application of BCIs.
• behavioral studies of BCI use in humans and animals.
• studies of neurosurgical techniques relevant to BCIs.
• proposal, review and analysis of standards for BCI hardware, software and protocols.

International Journal of Otolaryngology is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes original research articles, review articles, and clinical studies in all areas of otolaryngology.

The Journal of Micro-Bio Robotics is the synergistic integration of micro- and biotechnologies with Robotics. Strong research efforts are being focussed on development of micro/nanoscale or miniature robotic systems, which are biologically inspired, integrated with biological entities, or used for biological or biomedical applications.  This new journal aims to report the significant progress in these new research efforts.The Journal of Micro-Bio Robotics, a quarterly journal, is devoted to the theory, experiments,  and applications of micro- and biotechnologies and robotics. The Journal promotes both theoretical and practical engineering research based on the analysis and synthesis from the micro level to the bio level of robotics. The journal includes survey papers, technical papers, and short papers in the field of Micro and Bio Robotics.Potential authors are invited to submit original research articles for publication consideration.  Reviews and short communications may also be considered. All submissions will be peer reviewed subject to the standards of the journal. Manuscripts based on previously published conference papers must be extended substantially. Electronic submissions must be in PDF format and should be prepared according to the journal guidelines. The submissions should be performed through the journal submission system.

The Journal of Phycology was founded in 1965 by the Phycological Society of America. The Journal is a leading international journal and publishes research from all over the world. All aspects of basic and applied research on algae are included to provide a common medium for the ecologist, physiologist, cell biologist, molecular biologist, morphologist, oceanographer, acquaculturist, systematist, geneticist, and biochemist. The Journal also welcomes research that emphasizes algal interactions with other organisms and the roles of algae as components of natural ecosystems. Papers are accepted on the basis of their original and meritorious data and ideas; our focus is on research articles but mini-reviews and reviews are solicited on especially important and timely subjects. Comments, which are reviewed, may describe methods or equipment, discuss papers previously published in the Journal, or discuss other topics of interest to our readership. Other features include Algae Highlights, which draws attention to some of the important papers being published in each issue of the Journal or elsewhere, and Book Reviews. The Luigi Provasoli Award, named in honor of the founding Editor of the Journal, is presented annually by the Editorial Board to the authors who in the Board's judgment have published the best research paper in the previous year in the Journal.
