Articles that emphasize the science and the outcomes that were enabled by the study are particularly welcomed. Authors are encouraged to include mainstream science in their papers, thereby producing manuscripts that are substantial scientific well-rounded contributions that appeal to a broad community of readers and increase the profile of the authors.

Acta Geologica Sinica (English Edition) is an academic quarterly of the Geological Society of China. It was established in 1922 and is one of the earliest scientific journals in China. Its predecessor was the Bulletin of the Geological Society of Chinaand published papers mainly in English, with some in German and French. With one volume a year, it carried the results of geological investigations of the members of the society and papers presented in annual meetings of the society.

After having published 31 volumes, the journal was renamed Acta Geologica Sinicain 1952 and released papers in Chinese instead of foreign languages, but it was continuously numbered and published by the Science Press of China and was distributed at home in China and abroad. With a 4-year break during 1967-1971, it has published 76 volumes. In March 1988, to meet the need for international exchange, Acta Geologica Sinica -English Edition resumed publication in English and carried the English translation of the papers of the Chinese edition.  Since 1997, Acta Geologica Sinica -English Edition has been numbered in the same way as the Chinese edition and not carried the full text translation of the Chinese edition in principle but directly carried the English originals.

Acta Geologica Sinica-English Edition mainly reports the latest and most important achievements in the theoretical and basic research in geological sciences, together with new technologies. Papers published involve various aspects of research concerning geosciences and related disciplines, such as stratigraphy, palaeontology, origin and history of the Earth, structural geology, tectonics, mineralogy, petrology, geochemistry, geophysics, geology of mineral deposits, hydrogeology, engineering geology, environmental geology, regional geology and new theories and technologies of geological exploration. Its readers include scientists of research institutions and teachers and students of institutions of higher learning. Sources of papers are plentiful and come from the world over. The ratio of papers published to those submitted is 20~30% and the journal enjoys free choice for better papers in a large number of papers submitted.

Acta Geologica Sinica-English Edition has always been regarded as an academic journal of the highest level in geological sciences of China by numerous domestic readers. It is one of the kernel periodicals of natural science of China. In recent years, it has been indexed in the Science Citation Index-Expanded. The journal was awarded the title of excellent scientific and technological periodicals of China by the Ministry of Science and Technology, General Administration of Press and Publishing and China Association for Science and Technology. In 2001, it was included in the National Periodical Array of China.

In the new century, the world enters a new stage in which science and technology become more and more important, economical and social demands on geoscientist are mounting and geological research serves the society in broader areas. As an important component of modern science and technology, geological science and technology are in need of greater and faster development. In the new era, Acta Geologica Sinica-English has much to do in promoting developments in geological sciences.

The aim of Aging Cell is to publish the highest quality, innovative research addressing fundamental issues in the biology of aging. For publication in Aging Cell, the work must provide a major new contribution to the understanding of aging and be of general interest to the community. Aging Cell seeks to cover all areas of geroscience, highlighting research that uncovers mechanistic aspects of the aging process, as well as the links between aging and age-related disease. Observations of novel aging processes without substantial mechanistic insight will be considered, but should be of especially high impact for the field. Topics including, but not limited to, nutrient-responsive signaling pathways, neuronal and endocrine signaling pathways, tissue interactions, genetic and epigenetic regulation and integrity, proteostasis, circadian rhythms, ROS and mitochondria, cellular senescence, stem cells, progerias and interventions that affect aging are encouraged. All experimental approaches, including plant models, are welcome. Papers that focus on the pathogenesis of a specific age-related pathology are also of interest, but should offer new insights into the fundamental links between aging and disease. Aims and Scope Aging Cell covers: Genetics and functional genomics: mutations affecting longevity; gene homologies; organismal and cellular aging; gene manipulation. Signaling and gene expression: mechanisms linking age-associated changes with phenotypes and physiology; intracellular signaling; interactions between cells and tissues; hormonal, immune, and inflammatory systems. Cell proliferation, aging and death: replicative senescence; apoptosis; telomere biology and other intrinsic and extrinsic influences; chronological cellular aging; phenotypes of aging cells. Cell stress and damage: extrinsic and intrinsic influences of free radicals on cells and tissues; free radical defense and damage; free radicals as signaling molecules; stress and aging. Stem cells and aging: effects of age on stem cell generation; migration and homeostasis; stem cell-niche interactions; regulatory mechanisms. Integrative physiology: outcomes of aging processes at organismal, cellular and molecular levels. Biodemography and comparative studies: population and cross-species comparative studies. New theories of aging and longevity: discussion at the broadest level of established and novel theories of aging and longevity. Aging Cell was launched in 2002 and is published bimonthly. Article types include: Novel, peer-reviewed research, concentrating in the areas described above. Reviews and minireviews assessing high-profile recent research. Commentaries evaluating especially important current papers in the Journal or other leading journals. Development and criticism of general theories of biological aging.
