Advances in Urology is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes state-of-the-art reviews and original research papers of wide interest in all fields of urology. The journal strives to provide publication of important manuscripts to the widest possible audience worldwide, without the constraints of expensive, hard-to-access, traditional bound journals. Advances in Urology is designed to improve publication access of both well-established urologic scientists and less well-established writers, by allowing interested scientists worldwide to participate fully.In general, the journal welcomes submission of:Urologic bench top research, especially taxpayer funded research which requires free, full text, open access publishingUrologic clinical research, both common topics and specialty topics of regional interestCarefully-designed Special Issues of particular importanceClinical and basic science reviews of urologic issues with a worldwide scope.Topics of interest include but are not limited to:Urologic Oncology (Cancer)Urologic ReconstructionUrologic TraumaInfertilityAndrologyImpotencePediatric UrologyNeurourologyFemale UrologyIncontinenceUrologic outcomesEpidemiologyUrologic Laparoscopy/RoboticsUrologic TransplantInfectious Diseases in UrologyTransexual surgeryAdrenal glandEmergencies in Urology.

Advances in Virology is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes original research articles as well as review articles in all areas of virology.

Advances in Water Resources provides a forum for the presentation of fundamental scientific advances in the understanding of water resources systems. The scope of Advances in Water Resources includes any combination of theoretical, computational, or experimental approaches used to advance fundamental understanding of surface or subsurface water resources systems or the interaction between these systems. Manuscripts involving applications or design, but not advancing fundamental understanding, are not appropriate for Advances in Water Resources.Examples of appropriate topical areas that will be considered include the following:• Surface and subsurface hydrology• Hydrodynamics and hydrometeorology• Multiphase transport phenomena• Modeling fluid flow and species transport and reaction processes• Mathematical and stochastic analysis of water resources systemsAdvances in Water Resources will be also be accepting Letters which are rapid communications providing short reports of significant fundamental research in all fields of hydrology. Contributions submitted as Letters should be not only fundamental and novel but also potentially transformative in impact by providing new observations, theories, or findings deserving of expedited review and publication. If a submission is deemed acceptable for consideration as a Letter contribution by the Editors, it will be reviewed by Editorial Advisory Board members for technical merits, impact, and broadness, with a review response expected to be within 15 days. Authors will be requested to respond to reviews within 10 days.
