Environmental Evidence facilitates rapid publication of systematic reviews and evidence syntheses on the effectiveness of environmental management interventions and on the impact of human activities on the environment.Environmental management is now a mainstream political activity with major resources being committed to growing challenges related to climate change, natural resources, ecosystem services and human wellbeing. Despite the large and rapidly increasing amounts of primary environmental research, the potential of the data to address questions of concern to policy makers and managers has not been fully realised. The Collaboration for Environmental Evidence (CEE) promotes and facilitates the conduct of systematic reviews and synthesis of evidence, and seeks to make this information more accessible to all.Environmental Evidence facilitates rapid publication of systematic reviews and evidence syntheses on the effectiveness of environmental management interventions and on the impact of human activities on the environment. Objective use of science to inform policy is a major aim and to that end we also publish policy briefs based on systematic reviews and systematic mapping of evidence. We also wish to encourage improvements in evidence synthesis methodology and encourage submissions that promise advances in this field.Our scope covers all forms of environmental management and environmental impacts and therefore spans the natural and social sciences.

Environmental Health is ready to receive manuscripts on all aspects of environmental and occupational medicine and related studies in toxicology and epidemiology.

Environmental Health and Preventive Medicine (EHPM), published bimonthly, is the official journal of the Japanese Society for Hygiene. The journal is devoted to the publication of definitive studies on human health sciences, including regular articles, short communications, and review articles. The journal brings a comprehensive approach to prevention and environmental health related to medical, biological, molecular biological, genetic, physical, psychosocial, chemical, and other environmental factors. EHPM provides comprehensive and unique information to a worldwide readership. A large number of eminent professors and researchers from all over the world serve as guest reviewers for EHPM. The journal is cited in several academic databases, including Biological Abstracts, BIOSIS Previews, Google Scholar, Japana Centra Revuo Medicina, and Scopus. The full text of all articles in EHPM can be accessed at SpringerLink. The guidelines of this journal are essentially in accordance with the 'Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals' (the complete document appears at http://www.icmje.org).

Epigenetics & Chromatin welcomes all high-quality articles that provide novel insights into epigenetic inheritance and chromatin-based interactions. Topics include, but are not limited to, gene silencing and imprinting, cellular reprogramming, nucleosome modification assembly and remodeling, DNA methylation, chromatin structure and dynamics, chromosomal maintenance elements, dosage compensation, interchromosomal interactions and prion inheritance.

EvoDevo publishes articles on a broad range of topics associated with the translation of genotype to phenotype in a phylogenetic context. Understanding the history of life, the evolution of novelty and the generation of form, whether through embryogenesis, budding, or regeneration are amongst the greatest challenges in biology. We support the understanding of these processes through the many complementary approaches that characterize the field of evo-devo. The focus of the journal is on research that promotes understanding of the pattern and process of morphological evolution.

Experimental Hematology & Oncology is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal that encompasses all aspects of hematology and oncology with emphasis on preclinical, basic, patient-oriented and translational research. The journal acts as an international platform for sharing laboratory findings in these areas and makes a deliberate effort to publish clinical trials with 'negative' results and basic science studies with provocative findings.Experimental Hematology & Oncology aims to publish original work, hypothesis, commentaries and timely reviews in the closely related fields of hematology and oncology.With open access, rapid turnaround time from submission to publication and online live comments from readers, Experimental Hematology & Oncology will strive to be the hub for disseminating new knowledge and discussing controversial topics for both basic scientists and busy clinicians in the field of hematology and oncology.
