Pediatric Research is essential reading for research-oriented pediatricians, scientists, faculty, and trainees whose interest is the investigation of developmental phenomena and the etiology of diseases in children. The journal presents the work of leading authorities whose translational research in pediatric investigation covers disciplines extending from molecular biology to epidemiology.Each monthly issue contains original, peer-reviewed articles on late-breaking investigations of the most challenging problems of childhood diseases. Selected by a panel of internationally distinguished physicians and scientists, these studies provide the reader with timely, accurate views of the latest advances in the broad spectrum of translational research.Impact Factor: 2.604 (2008 Journal Citation Reports174;, Thomson Reuters, 2009)Website: www.pedresearch.org.

The American Journal of Physiology-Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology publishes original articles pertaining to all aspects of research involving normal or abnormal function of the gastrointestinal tract, hepatobiliary system, and pancreas. Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts dealing with growth and development, digestion, secretion, absorption, metabolism, and motility relative to these organs, as well as research reports dealing with immune and inflammatory processes and with neural, endocrine, and circulatory control mechanisms that affect these organs. Reports of research utilizing molecular biological, cell biological, immunological, biochemical, and morphological approaches that contribute to knowledge of normal physiology or pathophysiology of these organs are especially welcomed. Research ranging from molecular and cellular events to whole animal studies and translational studies in human samples is appropriate.

Helminthologia publishes original peer-reviewed research, with the aim of contributing to the advancement of human and veterinary medicine as well as agronomy. It has been published by the Parasitological Institute of SAS since 1959; it is the only journal in Central Europe offering individual and collaborative research in veterinary medicine and natural science from international experts. The journal takes a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to current issues in helminthology, and is committed to rapid dissemination of the latest research to the academic community.
