CURRENTLY NO ARTICLE PROCESSING FEESLife Sciences, Society and Policy, formerly Genomics, Society and Policy, is a peer-reviewed, Open Access journal devoted to fostering responsible innovation and sustainable development by providing an academic forum for engaged scholarship, interdisciplinary research, critical reflection and informed discussion concerning the ethical, social and legal dimensions of the life sciences, resulting in insights, tools and recommendations for civil society, policy, industry and education. Its aim is to analyze and assess the interrelatedness of emerging life sciences, society and policy.EDITORS IN CHIEFRuth Chadwick, Cardiff University, Wales, UKHub Zwart, Radboud University Nijmegen, The NetherlandsEDITORIAL BOARDVilhjálmur Arnason, University of Iceland, Iceland Massimiano Bucchi, Science and Technology University of Trento, Italy Anne Cambon-Thomsen, INSERM, France Jean-Jacques Cassiman, University of Leuven, Belgium David Castle, University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom Donald Chalmers, University of Tasmania, Australia Ellen W Clayton, Vanderbilt University, United States of America Harold Coward, University of Victoria, Canada Abdallah S Daar, University of Toronto, Canada John Dupré, University of Exeter, United Kingdom Ellen-Marie Forsberg, Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Sciences, Norway Juergen Hampel, University of Stuttgart, Germany Jane Kaye, University of Oxford, United Kingdom Bartha Maria Knoppers, McGill University, Canada Mairi Levitt, Lancaster University, United Kingdom Darryl Macer, Eubios Ethics Institute, Thailand Ruth McNally, Lancaster University, United Kingdom Rouven Porz, Bern University Hospital, Switzerland Christoph Rehmann-Sutter ,, University of Lübeck, Germany Emanuelle Rial-Sebagg, INSERM, France Søren Riis, Roskilde University, Denmark Arie Rip, University of Twente, The Netherlands Margit Suttrop, University of Tartu, Estonia Henk ten Have, Duquesne University, United States of America Gert-Jan van Ommen, Leiden University Medical Center, The Netherlands Fern Wickson, University of Tromsø, Norway Brian Wynne, Lancaster University, United Kingdom Steve Yearley, University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom Xiaomei Zhai, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, China

Life Writing, one of the leading journals in the field of biography and autobiography, has the unique and unusual policy of carrying both scholarly articles and critically informed personal narrative. The journal has three sections: Academic Articles, 8220;Reflections8221; and Reviews. In the Reflections section, we hope to find the reflective/discursive voice leading the minor theme of the autobiographical. However, fiction, ficto-memoir and poetry are not accepted. Our editorial board comprises leaders in the field of life writing practice, such as Paul John Eakin, Sidonie Smith, Lila Abu-Lughod and Ruth Behar. Submissions The editor welcomes articles that consider any aspect of the contemporary meanings of life narrative, and is particularly interested in work that aims to incorporate interdisciplinary perspectives and broaden the geographical focus of life writing. Submissions of articles and reflections should be sent to Maureen.Perkins@curtin.edu.au. Peer Review Policy All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and blind refereeing by two anonymous referees.DisclaimerTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.

Lifestyle Genomics aims to provide a forum for highlighting new advances in the broad area of lifestyle-gene interactions and their influence on health and disease. The journal welcomes novel contributions that investigate how genetics may influence a person’s response to lifestyle factors, such as diet and nutrition, natural health products, physical activity, and sleep, amongst others. Additionally, contributions examining how lifestyle factors influence the expression/abundance of genes, proteins, and metabolites in cell and animal models as well as in humans are also of interest.
The journal will publish high-quality original research papers, brief research communications, reviews outlining timely advances in the field, and brief research methods pertaining to lifestyle genomics. It will also include a unique section under the heading “Market Place” presenting articles of companies active in the area of lifestyle genomics. Research articles will undergo rigorous scientific as well

Lifestyle Medicine Advances is dedicated to publishing high-quality, pragmatic research that shapes and strengthens the evidence base for lifestyle medicine. With an emphasis on the Six Pillars of Lifestyle Medicine, the journal seeks to turn evidence-based lifestyle principles into measurable health outcomes in practice.

Lifetime Data Analysis is the only journal dedicated to statistical methods and applications for lifetime data. The journal advances and promotes statistical science in various applied fields that deal with lifetime data, including actuarial science, economics, engineering, environmental sciences, management, medicine, operations research, public health, and social and behavioral sciences. A partial list of topics reflecting the broad range of interests covered in the journal includes accelerated failure time models, degradation processes, meta-analysis, models for multiple events, nonparametric estimation of survival functions, quality-of-life models, rank tests for comparing lifetime distributions, and reliability methods.Officially cited as: Lifetime Data Anal
