Nature Cell Biology publishes papers of the highest quality from all areas of cell biology, encouraging those that shed light on the molecular mechanisms responsible for fundamental cell biological processes. The journal's scope is broad and includes the following areas (not listed in order of preference):Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to:* Cellular and molecular mechanisms of development* Stem cell biology* Membrane traffic, protein sorting and organelles* Cell adhesion and migration* Cytoskeletal dynamics* Autophagy* Cell cycle and cell growth* DNA replication and repair* Apoptosis and cell death* Signal transduction* Protein degradation* Organization of the nucleus and nuclear transport* Cellular and molecular mechanisms of human disease, including cancer (provided that the primary focus is on general processes of cell biology).

Environmental Development is a transdisciplinary journal for the publication and discussion of peer reviewed, original research on emerging issues and solutions for environmental and ecological problems, and the development of policies for environmental management within the framework of sustainable growth.Environmental Development places special emphasis on the practice and policy implications of research in relation to natural resource management, environmental feedbacks and global change. It also creates a forum for transnational communication, discussion and global action. Environmental Development is devoted to promoting the interaction between natural, social and behavioral sciences, to stimulate comparative, transnational and transboundary research and to close the gap between fundamental research and the knowledge and applications in innovative management and policy practices.Environmental Development particularly encourages young researchers and scientists from developing countries to submit their original research, reviews, communications and commentaries.The journal is open to Thematic Issues addressing exciting topics, as long as these consist of very coherent and high-quality contributions. Please contact the editor-in-chief for further information regarding Thematic Issues: t.a.m.beckers@tilburguniversity.edu.

It publishes accessible articles on research and industrial applications, new techniques and development trends.Production Planning & Control publishes keynote papers (by invitation), research papers with an applied bias, state-of-the-art reviews, tutorial reviews, case studies, reports on applications, conference reports and book reviews.To be published in Production Planning & Control, a paper will have been reviewed and accepted by at least two competent experts in the field. Reviewers are drawn from the Editorial Board and a list of occasional reviewers who have been nominated for their expertise. Reviewers' comments are based on relevance to the field, particularly applicability in industry, besides originality and scientific rigour.

Sustainability (ISSN 2071-1050) is an international and cross-disciplinary scholarly, open access journal of environmental, cultural, economic and social sustainability of human beings, which provides an advanced forum for studies related to sustainability and sustainable development. It publishes reviews, regular research papers, communications and short notes, and there is no restriction on the length of the papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research relating to natural sciences, social sciences and humanities in as much detail as possible in order to promote scientific predictions and impact assessments of global change and development. Full experimental and methodical details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. There are, in addition, unique features of this journal: manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas will be particularly welcomed electronic files or software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material we also accept manuscripts communicating to a broader audience with regard to research projects financed with public funds

The World Bank journals enjoy the largest circulation of any economics title; the Research Observer is freely distributed to more than 9,100 subscribers in non-OECD countries.The World Bank Research Observer seeks to inform nonspecialist readers about research being undertaken within the Bank and outside the Bank in areas of economics relevant for development policy. Requiring only a minimal background in economic analysis, its surveys and overviews of key issues in development economics research are intended for policymakers, project officers, journalists keeping up to date, and teachers and students of development economics and related disciplines. Papers for the Observer are not sent out to referees, but all articles published are assessed and approved by the Editorial Board, which includes three to four distinguished economists from outside the Bank. The Observer has nearly 1,500 subscribers in OECD countries and nearly 10,000 subscribers in developing countries.The journal has an impact factor of 1.700 and is ranked 16/191 in the Economics category, and 3/38 in the Planning and Development category of the ISI Journal Citation Reports (2008).
