Journal Guide

Doklady Biochemistry and Biophysics presents English translations of current Russian research from the biochemistry and biophysics sections of the Doklady akademii nauk (Proceedings of the Russian Academy of Sciences). The Proceedings appear 36 times per year; articles on biochemistry and biophysics are collected, translated, and published in 6 issues per year. Doklady Biochemistry and Biophysics publishes the most significant new research in biochemistry and biophysics being done in Russia today, thus ensuring its scientific priority. Since 2001, the journals Doklady Biochemistry and Doklady Biophysics have been combined.

The Journal of Chemical Sciences publishes original articles and rapid communications by Indian and other researchers, spanning topics in the chemical sciences. It was originally part of the Proceedings of the Indian Academy of Sciences – Part A, founded by the Nobel Laureate Professor C.V. Raman in 1934. It was renamed Journal of Chemical Sciences, matching its present-day focus, in 2004. The journal presents original research articles and rapid communications, covering all areas of chemical sciences. A significant feature is its special issues, brought out from time to time, devoted to conference symposia/proceedings in frontier areas of the subject, held not only in India but also in other countries. It is published bi-monthly by the Indian Academy of Sciences.

The Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science advances the understanding of both the fundamentals of engineering science and its application to the solution of challenges and problems in engineering.'The Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science is dedicated to the publication of high quality papers on all aspects of mechanical engineering science. It represents one of the oldest parts of the Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, the first issue being published under the guidance of a distinguished Editorial Board in June 1959.The international Editorial Board ensures that significant developments in mechanical engineering science from around the world are reflected in the Journal.'.

Science & Justice provides a forum to promote communication and publication of original articles, reviews and correspondence on subjects that spark debates within the Forensic Science Community and the criminal justice sector. The journal provides a medium whereby all aspects of applying science to legal proceedings can be debated and progressed. Science & Justice is published six times a year, and will be of interest primarily to practising forensic scientists and their colleagues in related fields. It is chiefly concerned with the publication of formal scientific papers, in keeping with its international learned status, but will not accept any article describing experimentation on animals which does not meet strict ethical standards.Aims and ScopePromote communication and informed debate within the Forensic Science Community and the criminal justice sector.To promote the publication of learned and original research findings from all areas of the forensic sciences and by so doing to advance the profession.To promote the publication of case based material by way of case reviews.To promote the publication of conference proceedings which are of interest to the forensic science community.Scope:To provide a medium whereby all aspects of applying science to legal proceedings can be debated and progressed.To appeal to all those with an interest in the forensic sciences.
