Journal Guide

Acta Parasitologica publishes reports on new investigations in all areas of basic and applied parasitology. It encourages the submission of articles on studies describing most recent findings in the field of immunology, molecular biology, systematics and phylogeny of parasites.Acta Parasitologica was founded in 1953 by the Polish Parasitological Society, and since 1992 it is published by the W. Stefanski Institute of Parasitology in Warsaw, Poland.The journal publishes articles and short communications of interest to a broad range of life sciences researchers beyond the immediate field, as well as book reviews and invited review articles on recent advances of interest to its audience. The Editor-in-chief is Anna Puciłowska, Institute of Parasitology, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland.

Acta Physiologiae Plantarum is an international journal established in 1978 that publishes peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of plant physiology. The coverage ranges across this research field at various levels of biological organization, from relevant aspects in molecular and cell biology to biochemistry.The coverage is global in scope, offering articles of interest from experts around the world. The range of topics includes measuring effects of environmental pollution on crop species; analysis of genomic organization; effects of drought and climatic conditions on plants; studies of photosynthesis in ornamental plants, and more.Under Editor-In-Chief Przemyslaw Wojtaszek, the journal is published on behalf of the Franciszek Górski Institute of Plant Physiology, Polish Academy of Sciences, Kraków, in cooperation with Warsaw University of Life Sciences - SGGW, Department of Plant Physiology. 5-Year Impact Factor: 1.530 (2012)*

acta ethologica publishes empirical and theoretical research papers, short communications, commentaries, reviews and book reviews in the field of ethology and related disciplines, with a strong concentration on the behavior biology of humans and other animals. The journal places special emphasis on studies integrating proximate (mechanisms, development) and ultimate (function, evolution) levels in the analysis of behavior. Aspects of particular interest include: adaptive plasticity of behavior, inter-individual and geographic variations in behavior, mechanisms underlying behavior, evolutionary processes and functions of behavior, and many other topics. acta ethologica is a journal of the Instituto Superior de Psicologia Aplicada (ISPA), with the co-operation of the Portuguese Ethological Society (SPE) and the Spanish Society of Ethology (SEE).

Administration and Policy in Mental Health and Mental Health Services Research aims to improve the effectiveness of mental health and related human service programs by advancing research on services and the practice and process of administration in the mental health setting. This journal publishes peer-reviewed, original empirical research articles and administrative and policy notes, which are commentaries, observations, and/or opinions that are briefer and less research-oriented than articles. 5 Year Impact Factor: 1.005 (2007)Section 'Public, Environmental & Occupational Health': Rank 43 out of 70

The journal Adsorption provides authoritative information on adsorption and allied fields to scientists, engineers, and technologists throughout the world. The information takes the form of peer-reviewed articles, R&D notes, topical review papers, tutorial papers, book reviews, meeting announcements, and news.Coverage includes fundamental and practical aspects of adsorption: mathematics, thermodynamics, chemistry, and physics, as well as processes, applications, models engineering, and equipment design. Among the topics are Adsorbents: new materials, new synthesis techniques, characterization of structure and properties, and applications; Equilibria: novel theories or semi-empirical models, experimental data, and new measurement methods; Kinetics: new models, experimental data, and measurement methods. Processes: chemical, biochemical, environmental, and other applications, purification or bulk separation, fixed bed or moving bed systems, simulations, experiments, and design procedures.

Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, launched in 1984, offers rapid publication of original scientific papers on the dynamics, physics and chemistry of the atmosphere and ocean. It reports on the latest achievements and developments in the atmospheric sciences, including marine meteorology and meteorology-associated geophysics, as well as the theoretical and practical aspects of these disciplines. The coverage includes weather systems, numerical weather prediction, climate dynamics and variability, satellite meteorology, remote sensing, air chemistry and the boundary layer, clouds and weather modification, can be found in the journal. Papers describing the application of new mathematics or new instruments are also collected here. Advances in Atmospheric Sciences is sponsored by The Chinese Committee for International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences (IAMAS), and the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Advances in Computational Mathematics aims to publish high quality, accessible and original articles at the forefront of applied mathematics, with the potential for impact across the sciences. The journal places a particular emphasis on numerical methods, modeling, and simulation.

The main focus of Advances in Gerontology are biomedical aspects of aging. The journal also publishes original articles and reviews on progress in the following research areas: demography of aging: molecular and physiological mechanisms of aging, clinical gerontology and geriatrics, prevention of premature aging, medico-social aspects of gerontology, behavior and psychology of the elderly. The journal was founded in 1997.

Advances in Health Sciences Education is a forum for scholarly and state-of-the art research into all aspects of health sciences education. It will publish empirical studies as well as discussions of theoretical issues and practical implications. The primary focus of the Journal is linking theory to practice, thus priority will be given to papers that have a sound theoretical basis and strong methodology.

The Journal will accept articles on topics such as admissions, problem-based and self-directed learning, faculty development, achievement testing, motivation, curriculum development, curricular comparisons, program evaluation, expertise development, clinical reasoning, continuing education, community-based education, and communication skills (the list is intended as illustrative, not exhaustive). All rigorous methodologies, both quantitative and qualitative, are encouraged. It is aimed at all those committed to the improvement of health professions education: researchers and educators in the fields of me
