Journal Guide

Aquatic Living Resources publishes original research papers, review articles and short notes dealing with all living resources in marine, brackish and freshwater environments.

A leading journal in its field, AME covers all aspects of aquatic microbial dynamics, in particular viruses, prokaryotes and eukaryotes -- planktonic and benthic, autotrophic and heterotophic -- in marine, limnetic and brackish habitats. As a companion journal to MEPS, it strives for the same quality criteria, quick publication and high technical standards.

Aquatic Procedia will publish papers from conferences and relevant research programs with an emphasis in the most relevant disciplines within aquatic sciences, such as water resources research and management, oceanography, marine and freshwater ecology and biological resources. Conferences should be relevant to an international audience, with a focused theme and cover timely topics. Copyright information
For authors publishing in Aquatic Procedia, accepted manuscript will be governed by CC BY-NC-ND. For further details see our copyright information.

How are conferences and research programs evaluated for inclusion in Aquatic Procedia?
Conference and research proceedings are accepted for publication in Aquatic Procedia based on suitability of scope and are required to meet certain criteria, including the assurance that all papers are original, will be subject to peer review and will not be published elsewhere. Elsevier will evaluate all proposals on the basis of key information related to the conference provided by the organizers, for example, the conference website, programme, supporting organization and contact details of the committee and keynote speakers. Elsevier may make contact with members of the committee and keynote speakers to obtain further information about the conference during the evaluation process.

What is the process for submitting conference proceedings to Aquatic Procedia?
Proposals should be prepared using the template http://cdn.elsevier.com/promis_misc/aqpro-proposal-template.dochere and sent to:

What does Aquatic Procedia offer authors and conferences organizers?
Aquatic Procedia offers a single, highly recognized platform where conference papers can be hosted and accessed by millions of researchers. Authors then know where to go to keep abreast of the latest developments in their field. All proceedings appear online, on ScienceDirect, within 6 weeks of acceptance of the final manuscripts via the conference organizer and are freely available to all users. Aquatic Procedia offers authors and conference organizers a fast and cost effective way to provide maximum exposure for their papers.

Templates (both LaTeX and Word) are provided to assist in the publication and the final online papers contain linked references, XML versions and DOI numbers.

Why should conference organizers choose Aquatic Procedia?
There is no limit to the amount of papers a Aquatic Procedia issue can contain and pricing is affordable, clear and transparent. Aquatic Procedia offers immediate access for all, with papers online within 6 weeks of acceptance, and open access providing maximum exposure for individual papers and the related conference. Organizers are being credited on the actual issue and are fully responsible for quality control, the review process and the content of individual conference papers.

What are the costs associated with Aquatic Procedia?
There is an agreed fee, based on the size of the proceedings, which includes online publication on ScienceDirect and free access after acceptance. In addition to the online version there is the possibility to purchase paper copies, CD-ROMs and USB sticks. Moreover, interactive media possibilities such as webcasts and web seminars can be acquired for extra exposure both before and after the conference.

Can Aquatic Procedia be sponsored?
We are open to discussing sponsoring possibilities at all times. Sponsors can include funding bodies, government agencies and/or industry. Benefits to sponsors include visibility amongst a scientific audience and the opportunity to communicate messages via a peer-reviewed platform. Benefits to authors and conference organizers are extra exposure of the conference and reduced costs to the overall conference budget.

Aquatic Sciences - Research Across Boundaries publishes original research, overviews, and reviews dealing with aquatic systems (wetlands, freshwater and marine systems) and their boundaries, including the impact of human activities on these systems. The coverage ranges from molecular-level mechanistic studies to investigations at the whole ecosystem scale, including fish ecology. Aquatic Sciences publishes articles presenting research across disciplinary and environmental boundaries, i.e. studies examining interactions among geological, microbial, biological, chemical, physical, hydrological, and societal processes, as well as studies assessing land-water, air-water, benthic-pelagic, river-ocean, lentic-lotic, and groundwater-surface water interactions.

Aquatic Toxicology publishes original scientific papers dealing with the mechanisms of toxicity and the responses to toxic agents in aquatic environments at the community, species, tissue, cellular, subcellular and molecular levels, including aspects of uptake, metabolism and excretion of toxicants.The aim of the journal is to increase our understanding of the impact of toxicants on aquatic organisms and ecosystems. Studies with aquatic model systems that provide fundamental mechanistic insight to toxic effects on organisms in general are also welcome. Both laboratory and field studies will be considered. The mechanistic focus includes genetic disturbances and adaptations to environmental perturbations, including the evolution of toxicant responses; biochemical, physiological and behavioural responses of organisms to toxicants; interactions of genetic and functional responses, and interactions between natural and toxicant-induced environmental changes. The bioaccumulation of contaminants is considered when studies address mechanisms influencing accumulation. Ecological investigations that address reasons, possibly also considering their genetic and physiological aspects, for toxicant-induced alterations of aquatic communities or populations are suitable.Reports on technique development or monitoring efforts are generally not within the scope of Aquatic Toxicology, except those concerning new methodologies for mechanistic research with an example of their application. Identification of toxicants or toxicologically relevant molecules in organisms will be considered only if the identification is a part of a more comprehensive mechanistic study. Whenever possible, information of exposure should be based on measured concentrations and not nominal or assumed ones. Manuscripts reporting acute toxicity data (lethal concentration, LC-50 or lethal dose, LD-50) as a major finding are usually not considered.

Esta revista nace como un medio de expresión de la Facultad de Enfermería y Rehabilitación de la Universidad de La Sabana, orientada hacia la promoción y el estímulo del desarrollo teórico de enfermería y de disciplinas afines, así como de los principios y valores que orientan la misión de la facultad. Aquichan será un órgano de divulgación que recoja, oriente e informe sobre las actividades académicas e investigativas de la facultad y, a la vez, un espacio que permita la expresión del pensamiento de docentes, estudiantes, egresados y colaboradores externos que deseen dar a conocer, a través de escritos científicos, filosóficos, revisiones bibliográficas, casos y experiencias profesionales, sus aportes al desarrollo de la profesión.

The Arab Economic and Business Journal results from common and tireless efforts that were undertaken by the Holy Spirit University of Kaslik (USEK), the Arab Society of Faculties of Business, Economic and Political Sciences (BEPS) and our Arab and International partners, notably the Association of Arab Universities. The journal aims to establish and spread communication among multicultural researchers, for we are truly convinced that science and research are the best tools for a bridge-building among civilizations. The journal focuses on original epistemological, theoretical, and methodological contexts. Our primary concern is to reflect upon, understand, and improve the development of knowledge and therefore implement practices in Arab organizations. We welcome submissions from a range of theoretical and methodological frameworks.

Arab Gulf Journal of Scientific Research is an academic, open access, peer reviewed journal owned by Arabian Gulf University, which welcomes both theoretical and empirical submissions in natural resources sciences, medical sciences, biotechnology, computer science and applications, innovation, entrepreneurship, and management sciences, and educational sciences
