Journal Guide

Biostatics & Epidemiology is the official publication of the International Biometric Society – Chinese Region. The journal provides a platform for the dissemination of new statistical methods and the promotion of good analytical practices in biomedical investigation and epidemiology.

The journal has four main sections:

• Method and Theory – Papers should contain new statistical methods and theory that are motivated by real clinical applications.
• Applications – Papers should provide comprehensive examples from biomedical sciences and epidemiology and clearly articulate the appropriateness of the chosen statistical methods in addressing significant clinical or research questions.
• Software and Computing – Papers should highlight the utilization of software/computing algorithms in statistical methods related to biomedical science and epidemiology.
• Tutorials – Papers should be educational pieces or critical reviews of statistical methods in important and emerging areas of biomedical science and epidemiology.

Case studies of substantial scientific and methodological importance are also welcomed.

Proposals for special issues are encouraged, and should be discussed with the Editor-in-Chief.

Peer Review Policy

All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal (by the Editor-in-Chief) and peer review (by independent, anonymous expert referees), if found suitable for further consideration. All peer review is double blind and submission is online via Editorial Manager®.

Queries regarding submissions can be made by contacting the Editor-in-Chief, whose decision is final.

Our ambition and goal is to become the leading science publisher in Central and Eastern Europe. We publish science journals based in Central and Eastern Europe. Most of them are co-published with Springer and distributed worldwide by Springer.We are unique in a sense that we not only focus on Central and Eastern Europe, but we also work hard to excel other publishers by being faster, more active and more online in everything we do.

BGER is a well established hardcover annual reviews series from the National Centre for Macromolecular Hydrodynamics and published by Nottingham University Press. It benefits from the longstanding relationship of the NCMH with the Biotechnology Industry. Each volume contains approximately 13-17 original, major invited review articles covering important developments in industrial, agricultural and medical applications of Biotechnology (widest sense). Following requests from authors and readers, and to celebrate 25 years of the volume we have now moved to a Journal format.

Bird Study concentrates on birds that occur in the Western Palearctic. This includes research on their biology outside of the Western Palearctic, for example on wintering grounds in Africa. Bird Study also welcomes papers from any part of the world if they are of general interest to the broad areas of investigation outlined above. Bird Study publishes the following types of articles: * Original research papers of any length * Short original research papers (less then 2500 words in length) * Scientific reviews * Forum articles covering general ornithological issues, including non-scientific ones * Short feedback articles that make scientific criticisms of papers published recently in the Journal. Visit Bird Study's sister journal Ringing & Migration on the BTO website or on Taylor & Francis' website. The British Trust for Ornithology handle all permissions requests for the journal.

For outstanding coverage of the latest advances in hypertension research, turn to Blood Pressure, a primary source for authoritative and timely information on all aspects of hypertension research and management.

 Features include:

• Physiology and pathophysiology of blood pressure regulation
• Primary and secondary hypertension
• Cerebrovascular and cardiovascular complications of hypertension
• Detection, treatment and follow-up of hypertension
• Non pharmacological and pharmacological management
• Large outcome trials in hypertension

Blood Pressure is endorsed by the European Society of Hypertension (ESH).

Blood Pressure is open for submission of the following types of articles: Original Research Articles, Review Articles, Letters to the Editor and Case Reports. Editorials are in most cases written by the Editors or otherwise by invitation only. However, traditionally a special feature has been Personal Views, in which distinguished scientists present thoughts, views, debates and reviews that address important topics of great current interest; these may be submitted as Review Article with “Personal View” clearly marked as subtitle and in the cover letter. Blood Pressure has also published announcements of important hypertension meetings and occasionally short reports from Hypertension Societies world-wide; these may be submitted as Letters to the Editor. Other articles requiring extensive space, such as monographs, doctoral theses and congress transactions, may be published as supplements.

Acta Botanica Gallica: Botany Letters is an international scientific journal, published by the French botanical Society (Société botanique de France) in partnership with Taylor & Francis. The title was created in 1993, continuing more than a century of renowned publications of the Société Botanique de France. It publishes innovative peer-reviewed research articles on a wide range of botany subjects, including:Taxonomy, systematics, phylogeny and evolution; Morphology, phenology, physiology and ecology; Floristic, phytogeography, and distribution of populations, species and ecosystems; General and population genetics, biology of conservation; Biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology and plant biotechnology; Plant - animal or plant - microbial interactions; Palynology; Paleobotany and plant paleoecology; History of botany and plant sciences, and historical botany (including interactions between human beings and environment, ethnobotany, and archaeobotany. Acta Botanica Gallica: Botany Letters accepts articles dealing with all photosynthetic organisms, or any taxa described in their interactions with photosynthetic organisms.
