Axiomathes: Where Science Meets PhilosophyResearch in many fields confirms that science is changing its nature. Natural science, cognitive and social sciences, mathematics and philosophy (i.e., the set of tools developed to understand and model reality) exceed the conceptual framework introduced by Galileo and Descartes. Complexity and chaos: network dynamics: anticipatory systems: qualitative aspects of experience (intentionality, for example): emergent properties and objects: forward, upward, and downward causation: all portend a new scientific agenda.Axiomathes publishes studies of evolving ideas, perspectives, and methods in science, mathematics, and philosophy. Many aspects of this dawning are unknown: there will be startlingly good ideas, and many blind-alleys. We welcome this ferment. While Axiomathes’ scope is left open, scholarly depth, quality and precision of presentation remain prerequisites for publication.Axiomathes welcomes submissions, regardless of the tradition, school of thought, or disciplinary background from which they derive. The members of the journal’s editorial board reflect this approach in the diversity of their affiliations and interests. All submissions are subjected to double-blind peer review, the average peer review time is 3 months.Axiomathes publishes:·       Research articles, presenting original ideas and results.·       Review articles, which comprehensively synthesize and critically assess recent, original works or a selected collection of thematically related books.·       Commentaries, brief articles that comment on articles published previously.·       Book symposia, in which commentators are invited to debate an influential book with the author, who answers with a concluding reply.·       Special issues, in which an expert collaborates with the journal as a guest editor,, in order to identify an interesting topic in science, mathematics or philosophy, and interacts with the selected contributors, being in charge of a whole issue of the journal. Axiomathes invites potential guest-editors, who might be interested in collecting and editing such special issue, to contact the Editor in order to discuss the feasibility of the project.·       Focused debates, collecting submissions and invited articles around a particular theme, as part of a normal issue of the journal.·       Authors wishing to submit a reply article, or a proposal for a review article, a book symposium, a special issue or a focused debate, are invited to contact the Editor for further information.

Clinical Epigenetics, the official journal of the Clinical Epigenetics Society, is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that encompasses all aspects of epigenetic principles and mechanisms, as well as reports on defects of epigenetic regulation, in relation to human disease, diagnosis and therapy. Epigenetic research in disease model organisms is particularly welcome.Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:  Clinical epigenetic research Chromatin modification/Histone modification Epigenetics and disease  Epigenetics and aging Epigenetics in developmental processes Epigenomics and pharmacoepigenomics Non-coding RNA and gene silencing Epigenetics, environment, nutrition and evolution

Clinical Epigenetics studies epigenetic changes in normal and diseased cells in response to internal or external factors with the aim to translate basic epigenetic research into diagnosis, therapy and prevention.

Critical Ultrasound Journal is a peer-reviewed open access journal published under the brand SpringerOpen. It is the official publication of WINFOCUS (World Interactive Network Focused on Critical UltraSound), the world’s leading scientific organization committed to developing point-of-care ultrasound practice, research, education, technology and networking and addressing the global needs of patients, institutions, services and communities living in out-of-hospital and in-hospital critical scenarios.Critical Ultrasound Journal is an international, peer-reviewed journal designed for clinicians using point-of-care ultrasound in any environment or setting. The journal publishes editorials, reviews, original articles, short communications and case reports and is open for publication of supplements and abstracts of scientific meetings. By reaching audiences around the world, it plays a key role in bringing ultrasound to the patient’s bedside, where this technique can make the greatest difference. Requirements and guidelines for submission of papers can be obtained from the publisher.

Data Science for Transportation publishes high-quality original research and reviews in a wide range of topics related to Data Science for Transportation. This includes classical approaches when data sources are used to unravel underlying physical mechanisms leading to general laws and new modelling frameworks. It also includes new data-driven approaches when AI plays a central role.

The goal of the journal is to showcase the latest methodological advances and applications of data science methods in transportation and appropriate implications for policy making. The journal is also interested in the significant impact that these fields are beginning to have on other scientific disciplines as well as many aspects of society and industry. There are countless opportunities where big data intelligence can augment other methods in transportation systems planning, operations, freight, safety analysis, transit, safe and sustainable cities and emergency management. There are many emerging questions of relevance on ethical, social and privacy, that are also relevant in this domain. The focus is primarily on analytical data driven methods. High quality application based studies will also be considered.

Drugs in R&D is an international, peer reviewed, open access, online only journal, which provides timely information on emerging drug classes and new treatments for specific disorders in an ‘open access’ format for all to review.
