Molecular systems biology is an integrative discipline that seeks to explain the properties and behaviour of complex biological systems in terms of their molecular components and their interactions.Molecular Systems Biology is a peer-reviewed author-pays online journal that publishes full-length papers and accompanying synopses describing original research in the field of molecular systems biology and which focuses on the analysis, integration and modeling of molecular and cellular phenomena. Since molecular systems biology relies on a variety of computational and high-throughput technologies, the journal makes full use of the online to allow reader interaction with data and models presented in the published articles.Topics falling within the scope of the journal include, but are not limited to:* Proteomics* Metabolomics* Functional genomics* Structural genomics* Transcriptomics* Computational biology* Bioinformatics* Theoretical biology* Synthetic biologyMolecular Systems Biology aims to provide:The most integrative coverage: Molecular Systems Biology facilitates the integration of the individual subject areas that make up the overall field of molecular systems biology by ensuring that all research papers are accessible to all readers. This is done in three main ways:* All papers have a brief 'synopsis', which explains the findings and significance of the research. These will be written by the authors, with help from in-house editorial staff* Many papers are covered by News and Views articles. These are written by experts in the field and aim to place the research in a broader context* Rich linking from papers allows readers access to related databases and other web resourcesA forum for setting standards: The world-class Senior Editors and editorial board of Molecular Systems Biology will enable the journal to become a forum for the publication of papers that set the standards in this emerging field. Papers that aim to do this will be given special consideration, and readers will be encouraged to comment on the journal's 'feedback forum'.Unparalleled editorial support: No other journal in the field of systems biology offers the same level of editorial support as Molecular Systems Biology. Our in-house PhD-qualified editorial staff will work with the authors of all research papers to ensure that the synopses and manuscripts are as accessible and readable as possible, and they will commission accompanying 'News & Views' and review articles.The latest technological developments: Molecular Systems Biology is first journal from the Nature Publishing Group stable to accept data in the systems biology mark-up language (SBML) format. The journal also features:* RSS alerts for instant notification when new papers are published.

The focus of this multidisciplinary journal is the synthesis of research and application to promote positive development across the life span and across the globe. The journal publishes research that generates descriptive and explanatory knowledge about dynamic and reciprocal person-environment interactions essential to informed public dialogue, social policy, and preventive and development optimizing interventions. This includes research relevant to the development of individuals and social systems across the life span -- including the wide range of familial, biological, societal, cultural, physical, ecological, political and historical settings of human development.The applied developmental science orientation is defined by three conjoint emphases. The applied aspect reflects its direct implication for what individuals, families, practitioners, and policymakers do. The developmental aspect emphasizes a focus on systematic and successive changes within individual and social systems that occur across the life span. This assumption stresses the importance of understanding normative and atypical processes as they emerge within different developmental periods and across diverse biological, physical, social, cultural and political settings. The science aspect underscores the need to utilize a range of research methods to collect reliable and objective information in a systematic manner to test the validity of theory and application. The convergence of these three aspects leads to a fostering of a reciprocal relationship between theory and application as a cornerstone of applied developmental science, one wherein empirically based, developmental theory not only guides intervention strategies and social policy, but is influenced by the outcome of these activities. Furthermore, the convergence calls for a multidisciplinary perspective aimed at integrating information and skills drawn from relevant biological, medical, social, and behavioral science disciplines. Given this multidisciplinary orientation, the journal publishes hypothesis-generating as well as hypothesis-testing research employing any of a diverse array of rigorous qualitative as well as quantitative methodologies - multivariate-longitudinal studies, demographic analyses, secondary analyses of large data sets, evaluation research, intensive measurement studies, ethnographic interpretations, laboratory experiments, analyses of policy and/or policy engagement studies, or animal comparative studies - when they have important implications for the application of developmental science across the human life span. Manuscripts pertinent to the diversity of development throughout the life span -- cross-national and cross-cultural studies, systematic studies of psychopathology, and studies pertinent to gender, ethnic, and racial diversity -- are particularly welcome. The journal does not typically publish pilot studies. Where appropriate, authors should be sure to include in their manuscript the power analysis or other analytic techniques that support the sample size and the nature of the sample selected for each study described in the article.Peer Review Policy: All research artilces in this journal have undergone editorial screening and peer review.

For over sixty-five years, the Review of Social Economy has published high-quality peer-reviewed work on the many relationships between social values and economics. The field of social economics discusses how the economy and social justice relate, and what this implies for economic theory and policy. Papers published range from conceptual work on aligning economic institutions and policies with given ethical principles, to theoretical representations of individual behaviour that allow for both self-interested and 'pro-social' motives, and to original empirical work on persistent social issues such as poverty, inequality, and discrimination. In promoting discourse on social-economic themes, and unifying and invigorating scholarship around them, the journal is centrally concerned with these core research areas. The Review is a journal specialized in and a premier outlet for scholarly research at the intersection of social values and economics, and encourages researchers engaged in high-quality work in these areas. Implications for social programs and policies may be discussed in regular articles or in a Speakers' Corner contribution. The Review provides a platform for established social-economics research, but also for research from other branches of economics and the social sciences, when the goal of developing better understandings of the role of social values in economic life is pursued.
