One of the greatest challenges in nursing today is how to integrate information from many basic disciplines—biology, physiology, chemistry, health policy, business, engineering, education, communication and the social sciences—into nursing research, theory and clinical practice. Biological Research for Nursing is the only publication that helps nurse researchers, educators, and practitioners meet this important challenge by focusing on biological and physiological changes in healthy and unhealthy populations from a nursing perspective.Published quarterly, this essential journal offers original peer-reviewed articles on: * Normal and abnormal biological phenomena, such as pain management and the effects of stress. * Improvements in health care techniques developed through biological and physiological research. * New methods, instruments, and techniques for biological and physiological health research. * Theoretical foundations that increase understanding of biological and physiological changes in health and illness. * Pathophysiology and the biological foundations of nursing practice.Biological Research for Nursing features research papers, empirical and theoretical articles, editorials, abstracts of recent dissertations, and conference summaries that relate to nursing care written by scientists and researchers in nursing and the basic sciences, such as:Pathophysiology* Biochemistry* Medicinal Chemistry* Medical Physics* Microbiology* Cell Biology* Developmental Biology *Genetics* Reproductive Biology* Molecular Biology* Neuroscience* Pharmacology* Infectious Disease* Oncology* Cardiovascular Disease* Pulmonary Function and Disease* Dermatology* Wound Healing* Immunology* Anesthesiology* Endocrinology* Gastroenterology* Hematology* Neonatology* Nephrology* Pathology* Physiology* Nutrition* Pain Management* Anatomy.

The effective translation of insights gained from biomedical research into improved human health is a global priority. To this end, Elsevier has looked to the leadership of its two leading brands, Cell and The Lancet, to guide the launch of a new comprehensive, online-only open access Elsevier journal, EBioMedicine, focused on forming a community that spans this interface and creates a valuable opportunity for dialogue and collaboration between their respective audiences.

As the communities that border this interface are large and diverse, the scope of EBioMedicine will cover the entire breadth of translational and clinical research within all disciplines of life and health sciences, ranging from basic science to clinical and public/global health science. The journal will also place a high priority on rapid publication. The journal seeks to publish a broad range of research study types, from experimental findings, critical analyses, methodological & technical innovations, and hypotheses to observational epidemiological studies, clinical trials, meta-analyses, and study protocols. In addition, EBioMedicine will publish commentaries, reviews, and viewpoints that enhance the accessibility and applicability of basic research findings for health professionals, and promote a better understanding of clinical challenges for biomedical researchers.

In leveraging the editorial leadership from Cell and The Lancet together with the publishing expertise of Elsevier to create a unique forum for the reputable and speedy publication of research in life and health sciences, we are committed to facilitating and incentivizing a robust and successful pipeline for improved human health globally.

The Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling (JCCS), the official publication of the International CCN Society (ICCNS), aims to serve as a forum for translational research. In particular, it wishes to publish papers discussing cell-cell and cell-matrix communication as well as intracellular signaling that are particularly important to understanding how cellular behavior is converted to pathological states. As well as primary research articles, JCCS also encourages the submission of commentaries discussing recent publications, key developments and controversies. We hope that JCCS will truly represent a novel forum for communication! In addition to Research reports of data from original research the Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling also welcomes the submission of: - Commentaries which are short, focused and opinionated articles on any subject within the journal's scope. These articles are usually related to a contemporary issue, such as recent research findings, and are often written by opinion leaders invited by the Editorial Board. - Comprehensive Reviews which constitute authoritative descriptions of any subject within the journal's scope. These articles are usually written by opinion leaders who have been invited by the Editorial Board. - Historical Reviews that report basic concepts and milestones in the discovery of key regulatory molecules. These articles are usually written by specialists who have been invited by the editorial board.

Founded by David Kraehenbuehl at Yale University in 1957, the Journal of Music Theory is the oldest music-theory journal now published in the United States. Originally a publication of the Yale School of Music, where it was officially housed for many years, JMT has always been edited by scholars associated with Yale's Department of Music, a relationship formalized in the last decade with JMT's move to the department. As the journal enters its second half century, the editors look forward to maintaining a tradition of publishing the best peer-reviewed research in the discipline. The Journal of Music Theory fosters conceptual and technical innovations in abstract, systematic musical thought and cultivates the historical study of musical concepts and compositional techniques. The journal publishes research with important and broad applications in the analysis of music and the history of music theory as well as theoretical or metatheoretical work that engages and stimulates ongoing discourse in the field. While remaining true to its original formalist outlook, the journal also addresses the influences of philosophy, mathematics, computer science, cognitive sciences, and anthropology on music theory. .
