Journal Guide

Among the important scientific developments of the 20th century is the explosive growth in statistical reasoning and methods for application to studies of human health. Examples include developments in likelihood methods for inference. epidemiologic statistics. clinical trials. survival analysis. and statistical genetics. Substantive problems in public health and biomedical research have fueled the development of statistical methods. which in turn have improved our ability to draw valid inferences from data. The objective ofBiostatisticsis to advance statistical science and its application to problems of human health and disease. with the ultimate goal of advancing the public"s health.

Biostatics & Epidemiology is the official publication of the International Biometric Society – Chinese Region. The journal provides a platform for the dissemination of new statistical methods and the promotion of good analytical practices in biomedical investigation and epidemiology.

The journal has four main sections:

• Method and Theory – Papers should contain new statistical methods and theory that are motivated by real clinical applications.
• Applications – Papers should provide comprehensive examples from biomedical sciences and epidemiology and clearly articulate the appropriateness of the chosen statistical methods in addressing significant clinical or research questions.
• Software and Computing – Papers should highlight the utilization of software/computing algorithms in statistical methods related to biomedical science and epidemiology.
• Tutorials – Papers should be educational pieces or critical reviews of statistical methods in important and emerging areas of biomedical science and epidemiology.

Case studies of substantial scientific and methodological importance are also welcomed.

Proposals for special issues are encouraged, and should be discussed with the Editor-in-Chief.

Peer Review Policy

All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal (by the Editor-in-Chief) and peer review (by independent, anonymous expert referees), if found suitable for further consideration. All peer review is double blind and submission is online via Editorial Manager®.

Queries regarding submissions can be made by contacting the Editor-in-Chief, whose decision is final.

Bio-surface and Bio-tribology, publishes high quality papers on the surface and tribology associated with bio-systems. The scope includes all aspects of tribology-based science and technology on natural bio-surfaces, natural organs and tissues, body fluids, bio-materials and coatings, interfaces between biological tissues and medical, sport devices or articles for daily use as well as bionic tribo-designs. Original research articles, topical reviews, case reports and short communications are welcome.

Biosystems Engineering publishes research in engineering and the physical sciences that represent advances in understanding or modelling of the performance of biological systems for sustainable developments in land use and the environment, agriculture and amenity, bioproduction processes and the food chain. The subject matter of the journal reflects the wide range and interdisciplinary nature of research in engineering for biological systems.Papers may report the results of experiments, theoretical analyses, design of, or innovations relating to, machines and mechanisation systems, processes or processing methods, equipment and buildings, experimental equipment, laboratory and analytical techniques and instrumentation.LIST OF REVIEWERS 2011Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Biotechnic & Histochemistry (formerly Stain technology) is the official publication of the Biological Stain Commission. The journal is published bimonthly in one volume on behalf of the Biological Stain Commission. Biotechnic & Histochemistry is an interdisciplinary journal embracing all aspects of histochemistry and microtechnic in all areas of the biological sciences from botany to cell biology to medicine. Papers concerning topics as diverse as in situ hybridization, cytochemical probes, autoradiography, light and electron microscopy, tissue culture, image analysis, cytogenetics and automation or computerization of investigative procedures are appropriate for publication. Papers reporting innovative technical methods and/or their applications are considered for publication regardless of their length. Letters to the Editor and review articles concerning topics of special and current interest also are published. Read More: http://informahealthcare.com/page/bih/Description.

Biotechnology is an international scientific journal which publishes papers from all areas related to Biotechnology. It covers from molecular biology and the chemistry of biological process to aquatic and earth environmental aspects, as well as computational applications, policy and ethical issues directly related to Biotechnology. Molecular biology, genetic engineering, microbial biotechnology, plant biotechnology, animal biotechnology, marine biotechnology, environmental biotechnology, biological processes, industrial applications, bioinformatics and others are some of the main subjects considered.

Biotechnology Advances is a review journal which considers all aspects of the multidisciplinary field. The scope includes biotechnology principles and applications in industry, agriculture, medicine, environmental concerns and regulatory issues. Authoritative articles on current developments and future trends in biotechnology are empathized. Submissions of appropriate manuscripts are invited. A wide audience of scientists, engineers and others is addressed: students, instructors, researchers, practitioners, managers, governments and related stakeholders. Special issues are published on selections of presentations at recent relevant conferences as arranged with the organizations.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Biotechnology Journal is the new, international resource for both biotechnology researchers and professionals in related disciplines. Fully comprehensive in its scope, the journal publishes strictly peer-reviewed papers covering novel aspects and methods in all areas of biotechnology. Special attention is also paid to the public, legal, ethical and cultural aspects of biotechnological research in the Forum section. Most issues are devoted to a special topic, providing the latest comprehensive information on the most crucial areas of research and technological advances. Alongside each highlighted topic, the journal contains original papers in the form of research articles, short communications and technical reports, illustrating the latest research results. BTJ welcomes submission of papers in areas including DNA/protein engineering, all -omics fields (genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, systems biology etc.), bioinformatics (algorithms and modeling), imaging, analytical biotech (sensors/detectors for analytes/macromolecules), plant/agricultural, food or environmental biotechnology, health and therapeutical biotechnology (including antisense/siRNAs, enzymes, peptides ...), regenerative medicine (stem cells, tissue engineering and biomaterials), translational immunology (antibody engineering, xenotransplantation, T-cell therapies), and biosafety or biosecurity. BTJ promotes a special emphasis on:

The leading authoritative journal since 1982 devoted to the evolving body of law and government regulation concerning biotechnology, particularly in the industries in which new products from these technologies are developing the most rapidly: pharmaceuticals, chemicals, agriculture, food processing, energy, mineral recovery, and waste treatment. All legal aspects are rapidly reported, and critical and often hard-to-obtain documents are reproduced.

The International Health Trends and Perspectives (IHTP) journal is an academic, double-blind peer reviewed scientific journal housed within the Public Knowledge Project Open Journal Systems at Toronto Metropolitan University (Recently renamed) in Toronto, Canada. The IHTP’s mission is to increase dialogue and dissemination of theoretical, empirical, and practical knowledge related to the key topics of health and wellness from around the world.
