The development of drug-resistant mutants and the emergence of new viruses are adding additional burdens to the already time-constrained virology community. The need to move swiftly in the event of a new disease outbreak makes it essential for the virologist to keep up-to-date with all key advances. Future Virology delivers essential information in concise, at-a-glance article formats. Key advances in the field are reported and analyzed by international experts, providing an authoritative but accessible forum for this ever-expanding area of research.

2009 Impact Factor - 0.702.Five Year Impact Factor - 1.060.169;2010 Thomson Reuters, 2009 Journal Citation Reports174;History GFF was founded in 1872 by the then 8220;Geologiska F246;reningen i Stockholm8221; under the name of Geologiska F246;reningens i Stockholm F246;rhandlingar (8216;Transactions of the Geological Society in Stockholm'). It was issued under that name for 122 years i.e. 1872-1993, volumes 1-115 (ISSN 0016-786X). As from 1994, volume 116, the journal was formally renamed GFF, its nickname since 1963 (an acronym of its original name).Aims and ScopeGFF is the journal of the Geological Society of Sweden. It is an international scientific journal that publishes papers in English covering the whole field of geology and palaeontology, i.e. petrology, mineralogy, stratigraphy, systematic palaeontology, palaeogeography, historical geology and Quaternary geology. Systematic descriptions of fossils, minerals and rocks are an important part of GFF's publishing record. Papers on regional or local geology should deal with Balto-Scandian or Northern European geology, or with geologically related areas. Papers on geophysics, geochemistry, biogeochemistry, climatology and hydrology should have a geological context. Descriptions of new methods (analytical, instrumental or numerical), should be relevant to the broad scope of the journal. Review articles are welcome, and may be solicited occasionally. Thematic issues are also possible. The journal emphasizes high quality and informative illustration, in both line drawings and photographs.Please be advised that this journal no longer has page charges.

Articles deal with microbial transformations of materials composing the earth's crust, including oceans, seas, lakes, bottom sediments, soils, mineral deposits, and rocks, and the geological impact these transformations have to present or have had over geologic time. In this context, the functions of bacteria, yeasts, filamentous fungi, micro-algae, protoists, and related micro-organisms as geomechanical or geochemical agents are examined.Articles may stress the nature of specific micro-organisms and their activities in a geomicrobial context, or the geological consequences of geomicrobial activity. The journal covers basic topics such as: microbial weathering of rocks; microbial roles in formation and degradation of specific minerals; mineralization of organic matter; subsurface microbiology; biogeochemical cycling of elements; isotopic fractionation and paleomicrobiology. Applied topics such as bioleaching microbiology and petroleum geomicrobiological prospecting, and groundwater microbiology are also covered. Included are the application of new techniques such as molecular and nano- and microscale.Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

The underlying theme is that uncertainties associated with geomaterials (soils, rocks), geologic processes, and possible subsequent treatments, are usually large and complex and these uncertainties play an indispensable role in the risk assessment and management of engineered and natural systems. Significant theoretical and practical challenges remain on quantifying these uncertainties and developing defensible risk management methodologies that are acceptable to decision makers and stakeholders. The basic goal of this international peer-reviewed journal is to provide a multi-disciplinary scientific forum for cross fertilization of ideas between interested parties working on various aspects of georisk to advance the state-of-the-art and the state-of-the-practice. Besides acting as a focused forum and promoting integration between disciplines, other key features of this journal include:Foster dissemination of information between research and practice.Encourage practice-oriented papers.Encourage papers reporting actual statistics with supporting databases.Include occasional educational papers that would enhance the knowledge and understanding of the non-specialist.Include cross-disciplinary papers that illustrate how to reduce societal risk, involving the input/collaboration of social scientists. In consultation with the editors, distinguished members of the georisk community may be invited to serve as guest editors covering focused themes such as natural hazards, dam safety, offshore safety, seismic risk, environmental risk, reliability-based design, geostatistics and probabilistic site characterization, probabilistic finite element methods, case histories, GIS databases, and other related topics.All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.STARTaylor & Francis/Routledge are committed to the widest possible dissemination of its journals to non-profit institutions in developing countries.
