Neurogenetics includes Review Articles, Original Articles, Short Communications and Letters to the Editors.

The mission of Neuronal Signaling is to provide an interdisciplinary home for neuroscience covering all aspects of in vitro and in vivo signaling from cell to brain in health and disease. Relevant topics range from signaling pathways involved in nervous system development and normal physiology through to neurodegenerative, neurological and psychiatric disorders and other pathologies.
The Journal covers a number of areas of neuroscience, including (but not limited to):

Addiction, affective disorders and depression, aging, cellular and molecular mechanisms of behaviour, cognition, epilepsy, gene therapy, learning and memory, neurodegeneration, neuroendocrinology, neurogenesis, neuroimmunology, neurooncology, neuropharmacology and therapeutics, neurotoxicity, pain and analgesia, psychiatric disorders, stress and fear, stroke and cerebrovascular disease, technical developments and methodologies in neuroscience research.

The Journal will consider for publication original articles and reviews on both basic science and clinical research relevant to recovery from neural injury. Examples of appropriate topics include cortical remodeling, mechanisms of sprouting and regeneration, the development of cell lines for transplantation and trophic factor replacement, strategies to promote functional recovery in human patients, design of outcome measures in neurologic rehabilitation, the multidisciplinary management of neurologic disease, and bioengineering and assistive devices used in the management of neurologic impairment.

Nucleosides, Nucleotides & Nucleic Acids publishes research articles, short notices, and concise, critical reviews of related topics that focus on the chemistry and biology of nucleosides, nucleotides, and nucleic acids. Complete with experimental details, this all-inclusive journal emphasizes the synthesis, biological activities, new and improved synthetic methods, and significant observations related to new compounds.

The Times Higher Education Supplement Parliamentary History provides a forum for current research and general interest articles covering the history of parliamentary institutions in the British Isles (including the Scottish and Irish Parliaments) from the Middle Ages to the Twentieth Century. The journal also encompasses legislatures of British colonies before independence, their origin, development and historical importance. The first issue of each volume is dedicated to a specialist area and gives you an expert overview of a specific topic.

The aim of Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety is to provide an international forum for the communication and evaluation of data, methods and opinion in the discipline of pharmacoepidemiology. The Journal publishes peer-reviewed reports of original research, invited reviews and a variety of guest editorials and commentaries embracing scientific, medical, statistical, legal and economic aspects of pharmacoepidemiology and post-marketing surveillance of drug safety. Appropriate material in these categories may also be considered for publication as a Brief Communication. Particular areas of interest include:

Polymers (ISSN 2073-4360) is an international, open access journal of polymer science. It publishes research papers, short communications and review papers.
