The Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine aims to set up an academic communicating platform for Chinese and scientists all over the world on tropical medicine and related sciences.The journal invites concise reports of original research in all areas of tropical medicine and related fields, both experimental and clinical, including modern, traditional and epidemiological studies, from any part of the world. Review articles based primarily on authors' own research on internationally important topics will be accepted. Short communications and letters to the editor are also welcome.

Complex Psychiatry is a peer-reviewed, rapid communication journal that focuses on the complexity of psychiatry and human behavior considering a wide range of methods – including genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, pharmacogenomics, bioinformatics, molecular neuropharmacology, neural circuits, neural stem cells, and systems neurobiology in humans, and in animal and cellular model systems. The journal publishes original research articles and reviews that shed light onto the biology of psychiatric illness and complex behavioral traits. Submitted papers will be subject to an editorial review, and a decision whether to further peer review will be made in approximately 5 business days. We aim to have an initial review decision within 1 month. Simultaneous BioRxiv submission is strongly encouraged.

CrystEngComm is the forum for the design and understanding of crystalline materials. It publishes studies on the investigation of molecular behaviour within crystals, control of nucleation and crystal growth, engineering of crystal structures, and construction of crystalline materials with tuneable properties and functions. All papers should involve the use or development of a design or optimisation strategy.

CURRENTLY NO ARTICLE PROCESSING FEESLife Sciences, Society and Policy, formerly Genomics, Society and Policy, is a peer-reviewed, Open Access journal devoted to fostering responsible innovation and sustainable development by providing an academic forum for engaged scholarship, interdisciplinary research, critical reflection and informed discussion concerning the ethical, social and legal dimensions of the life sciences, resulting in insights, tools and recommendations for civil society, policy, industry and education. Its aim is to analyze and assess the interrelatedness of emerging life sciences, society and policy.EDITORS IN CHIEFRuth Chadwick, Cardiff University, Wales, UKHub Zwart, Radboud University Nijmegen, The NetherlandsEDITORIAL BOARDVilhjálmur Arnason, University of Iceland, Iceland Massimiano Bucchi, Science and Technology University of Trento, Italy Anne Cambon-Thomsen, INSERM, France Jean-Jacques Cassiman, University of Leuven, Belgium David Castle, University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom Donald Chalmers, University of Tasmania, Australia Ellen W Clayton, Vanderbilt University, United States of America Harold Coward, University of Victoria, Canada Abdallah S Daar, University of Toronto, Canada John Dupré, University of Exeter, United Kingdom Ellen-Marie Forsberg, Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Sciences, Norway Juergen Hampel, University of Stuttgart, Germany Jane Kaye, University of Oxford, United Kingdom Bartha Maria Knoppers, McGill University, Canada Mairi Levitt, Lancaster University, United Kingdom Darryl Macer, Eubios Ethics Institute, Thailand Ruth McNally, Lancaster University, United Kingdom Rouven Porz, Bern University Hospital, Switzerland Christoph Rehmann-Sutter ,, University of Lübeck, Germany Emanuelle Rial-Sebagg, INSERM, France Søren Riis, Roskilde University, Denmark Arie Rip, University of Twente, The Netherlands Margit Suttrop, University of Tartu, Estonia Henk ten Have, Duquesne University, United States of America Gert-Jan van Ommen, Leiden University Medical Center, The Netherlands Fern Wickson, University of Tromsø, Norway Brian Wynne, Lancaster University, United Kingdom Steve Yearley, University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom Xiaomei Zhai, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, China

Machine Learning: Health is a multidisciplinary open access journal dedicated to the application of machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI) and data-driven computational methods across healthcare and the medical, biological, clinical, and health sciences. The journal also publishes research that presents methodological, theoretical, or conceptual advances in machine learning and AI with applications to medicine and health sciences.

Molecular engineering employs experimental, theoretical and computational approaches to establish new understanding of molecular properties and behaviours and uses this understanding to design and assemble better materials, systems, and processes to achieve specific functions. MSDE provides a hub for research into new understanding of molecular systems and the use of this understanding in applications of technological significance that help address global challenges.

NJC (New Journal of Chemistry) is a broad-based primary journal encompassing all branches of chemistry and its sub-disciplines. It publishes high-quality work that opens new directions in chemistry or in other scientific disciplines. Research must demonstrate that it will have an impact on areas of research other than that of the reported work.

At the heart of open access for the global chemistry community. RSC Advances publishes advances in chemistry, and in topics of interest to the chemistry community.

RSC Chemical Biology is a gold open access journal dedicated to publishing and disseminating exceptional, breakthrough research and high-quality reviews at the interface of chemistry and biology. We welcome contributions from across the breadth of the chemical biology field. This includes Sensing and Imaging, Bioorthogonal chemistry, Biosynthesis, Biomimetics and Bioengineering, Synthetic biology, Directed evolution, Drugs development and mechanism of action, Glycoscience, Natural products, Nucleic acids, Peptides, Phenotypic screening, Proteins (including protein-protein interactions, modifications, structure and function) We are particularly interested in reports on the application of chemical tools to probe, explore and visualize biological systems and processes to provide insights into molecular mechanisms in health and disease. We also encourage translational research that bridges chemistry and chemical biology to medicine.

Statistics in Biosciences (SIB) is published twice a year in print and electronic form. It aims at development and application of statistical methods and their interface with other quantitative methods, such as computational and mathematical methods, in biological and life science, health science, and biopharmaceutical and biotechnological science. SIB publishes scientific papers and review articles in four sections, with the first two sections as the primary sections. Original Articles publish novel statistical and quantitative methods in biosciences. The Bioscience Case Studies and Practice Articles publish papers that advance statistical practice in biosciences, such as case studies, innovative applications of existing methods that further understanding of subject-matter science, evaluation of existing methods and data sources. Review Articles publish papers that review an area of statistical and quantitative methodology, software, and data sources in biosciences. Commentaries provide perspectives of research topics or policy issues that are of current quantitative interest in biosciences, reactions to an article published in the journal, and scholarly essays. Substantive science is essential in motivating and demonstrating the methodological development and use for an article to be acceptable. Articles published in SIB share the goal of promoting evidence-based real world practice and policy making through effective and timely interaction and communication of statisticians and quantitative researchers with subject-matter scientists in biosciences.
