This journal intends to provide clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, that review the most important, recently published clinical findings related to the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of hepatitis.

We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as complex issues, global perspectives, and therapeutics for hepatitis B and C. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.

Studies may involve animals or humans. In either case appropriate care must be taken to follow the Declaration of Helsinki for human subject or appropriate humane standards of animal care (e.g., the ARVO standards on Animal Care and Use).

Dynamics of Atmospheres and Oceans is an international journal for research related to the dynamical and physical processes governing atmospheres, oceans and climate.Authors are invited to submit articles, short contributions or scholarly reviews in the following areas:•Dynamic meteorology•Physical oceanography•Geophysical fluid dynamics•Climate variability and climate change•Atmosphere-ocean-biosphere-cryosphere interactions•Prediction and predictability•Scale interactionsPapers of theoretical, computational, experimental and observational investigations are invited, particularly those that explore the fundamental nature - or bring together the interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary aspects - of dynamical and physical processes at all scales. Papers that explore air-sea interactions and the coupling between atmospheres, oceans, and other components of the climate system are particularly welcome.

100% of editorial decisions are made within published limits and our average time from submission to first decision is currently 22 days. Ecology Letters is a forum for the very rapid publication of the most novel research in ecology. Manuscripts relating to the ecology of all taxa, in any biome and geographic area will be considered, and priority will be given to those papers exploring or testing clearly stated hypotheses. The journal publishes concise papers that merit urgent publication by virtue of their originality, general interest and their contribution to new developments in ecology. We discourage purely descriptive papers and those merely confirming or extending results of previous work.
