Journal Guide

Molecular Imaging and Biology presents original research contributions on the utilization of molecular imaging in problems of relevance in biology and medicine. The primary objective of the journal is to provide a forum for the discovery of molecular mechanisms of health and disease through the use of imaging techniques. Among the topics covered are molecular imaging investigations of macromolecular targets involved in significant biological processes; design and evaluation of molecular probes used to investigate macromolecular targets and their functions; and study of in vivo animal models of disease for the development of new molecular diagnostics and therapeutics.The overall goal is to translate basic science discoveries into molecular imaging of disease in patients, both to investigate the biological nature of disease in actual patients and to establish new molecular imaging diagnostic procedures.Molecular Imaging and Biology is the official journal of the World Molecular Imaging Society and the Europea

Molecular Medicine is the international, peer-reviewed, biomedical journal published by the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research (New York). Molecular Medicine strives to understand normal body functioning and disease pathogenesis at the molecular level, which may allow researchers and physician-scientists to use that knowledge in the design of specific molecular tools for disease diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and prevention. Manuscripts submitted to the journal should maintain this focus and describe the implications for human disease, at a level approachable by the broad readership of Molecular Medicine. The 2011 Journal Citation Report (JCR), showing impact factors calculated from citations of articles published in 2010 and 2009, lists Molecular Medicine with an impact factor of 3.757. JCR category rankings are as follows: Medicine, Research & Experimental 24/111, Cell Biology 72/180, Biochemistry & Molecular Biology 91/289. Molecular Medicine publishes work in the format of original research articles, review articles, editorials, commentaries and letters to the editor covering emerging concepts in the interdisciplinary field of molecular medicine.Molecular Medicine places high priority on rapid publication. All content is published free online, ahead of print, within an average of 8 days after acceptance on our Web site www.molmed.org. Following acceptance, papers are posted rapidly to PubMed, with an e-publication ahead of print citation. Molecular Medicine is an open access journal and does not embargo content.

Molecular Microbiology, the leading primary journal in microbial sciences, publishes research articles reporting the results of molecular studies of eukaryotic microorganisms and of prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) and their viruses. Studies that include genetic, biochemical, biophysical, bioinformatic and structural analyses leading to a deeper understanding of the molecular principles underlying basic physiological processes or mechanisms are considered as potentially suitable for publication in the Journal. Topics that are considered appropriate include gene expression and regulation, pathogenicity and virulence, physiology and metabolism, synthesis of macromolecules (proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, polysaccharides, etc), cell biology and subcellular organization, membrane biogenesis and function, traffic and transport, cell-cell communication and signalling pathways, evolution and gene transfer. Molecular Microbiology also regularly commissions MicroReviews covering these areas of research, as well as occasional topical MicroCommentaries and other special interest articles. MicroMeeting Reports will also appear in forthcoming issues. These are personal accounts of the most recent and exciting developments in a particular aspect of microbial molecular biology, as presented at a recent symposium, workshop, colloquium or congress, written by one or more of the participants. Articles focused on host responses (cellular or immunological) to pathogens and on molecular aspects of microbial ecology should be directed to our sister journals Cellular Microbiology and Environmental Microbiology, respectively.
