Journal Guide

The Comptes rendus Biologies publish monthly communications dealing with all biological and medical research fields (biological modelling, development and reproduction biology, cell biology, biochemistry, neurosciences, immunology, pharmacology, ecology, etc.).Articles are preferably written in English. Articles in French with an abstract in English are accepted.

Comptes rendus Geoscience (12 issues per year) cover all the domains of Earth Sciences: external geophysics, climate and environment, internal geophysics, geomaterials, geochemistry, surface geosciences, oceanography, stratigraphy, tectonics, geodynamics, history of sciences. The 'Perspective' heading gathers short articles written by scientists collaborating with the Editorial Board, specialists of the topic under consideration.Articles are preferably written in English, with a French Abstract. Articles in French including an abridged English version, at least one page long, are accepted.

The Comptes rendus Mathematique cover all fields of the discipline: Logic, Combinatorics, Number Theory, Group Theory, Mathematical Analysis, (Partial) Differential Equations, Geometry, Topology, Dynamical systems, Mathematical Physics, Mathematical Problems in Mechanics, Signal Theory, Mathematical Economics,...The articles published are short, original notes describing briefly an important discovery, or a new result. These can be in either English or in French, with an abstract in both languages. An abridged version of the main text in the second language may also be included.

Comptes Rendus Palevol is a fully electronic and peer-reviewed journal, with a continuous publication stream, devoted to palaeontology, prehistory and evolutionary sciences. It publishes original research results, in French or English, in the following domains: systematic and human palaeontology, prehistory, evolutionary biology and macroevolution, and history of sciences.

Comptes rendus Physique: thematic issues oriented towards a rapid, targeted diffusion of research results.The Comptes rendus Physique (10 issues per year) cover all fields of Physics and Astrophysics, and propose thematic issues. Because of this format, readers find, in each issue, the presentation of a field of research which is in particularly fast development. The authors are chosen among the most active in the domain, and the issue is coordinated by an Invited Editor, guaranteeing that the results are up-to-date, and are the most significant.The Comptes rendus Physique also publishes, preserving its historic vocation, short, original notes describing briefly an important discovery, or a new theory. These can be in either English or in French, with an abstract in both languages.

The journal Comptes rendus Chimie publishes original research (notes, short papers) and accounts (short reviews and historic chronicles) in all areas of chemistry (organic, inorganic, bioorganic, bioinorganic, organometallic, physical, solid state, theoretical).Articles are preferably written in English, but articles in French including an abstract in English are accepted.

A monthly publication, giving fresh news of recent innovations in Mechanics.The Comptes rendus Mecanique cover all fields of Mechanics: Dynamical Systems, Solid Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, Acoustics, Wave Motion, Control Theory, Signal Processing,...The articles published are short, original notes describing briefly an important discovery, or a new theory. Since this is a monthly publication, significant results are published rapidly, generally two to three months after being accepted. Articles can be in either English or in French, with an abstract in both languages. An abridged version of the main text in the second language may also be included.

Astronomy; Astrophysics and Cosmology, Computational Mathematics and Numerical Analysis, Numeric Computing

Computational Biology and Chemistry publishes original research papers and review articles in all areas of computational life sciences. High quality research contributions in the areas of nucleic acid and protein sequence research, molecular evolution, molecular genetics (functional genomics and proteomics), theory and practice of either biology-specific or chemical-biology-specific modeling, and structural biology of nucleic acids and proteins are particularly welcome. Exceptionally high quality research work in bioinformatics, systems biology, cybernetics, ecology, environmental sciences, computational pharmacology, metabolism, biomedical engineering, epidemiology, and statistical genetics will also be considered.Review articles will generally be commissioned by the editors and should not be submitted to the journal without explicit invitation. However prospective authors are welcome to send a brief (one to three pages) synopsis which will be evaluated by the editors.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

computational complexity presents outstanding research in computational complexity. Its subject is at the interface between mathematics and theoretical computer science, with a clear mathematical profile and strictly mathematical format. The central topics are: Models of computation, complexity bounds (with particular emphasis on lower bounds), complexity classes, trade-off results

for sequential and parallel computationfor 'general' (Boolean) and 'structured' computation (e.g. decision trees, arithmetic circuits)for deterministic, probabilistic, and nondeterministic computationworst case and average caseSpecific areas of concentration include:

Structure of complexity classes (reductions, relativization questions, degrees, derandomization)Algebraic complexity (bilinear complexity, computations for polynomials, groups, algebras, and representations)Cryptography, interactive proofs, pseudorandom generation

Complexity issues in:
learning theorynumber theorylogic (complexity of logical theories

Please note, this is an open access journal and for 2015 we arranged for 50% discount of the regular fee of USD 750, meaning the price for this year will be USD 375.
