The vigorous growth of astronomical and astrophysical science in China led to an increase in papers on astrophysics which Acta Astronomica Sinica could no longer absorb. Translations of papers from two new journals the Chinese Journal of Space Science and Acta Astrophysica Sinica are added to the translation of Acta Astronomica Sinica to form the new journal Chinese Astronomy and Astrophysics.Chinese Astronomy and Astrophysics brings English translations of notable articles to astronomers and astrophysicists outside China.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Chinese Optics Letters (COL), considered to be one of the most important journals in optics in China, has been published since January 2003. Before 2003, this journal is available as the Chinese Journal of Laser B, which is also a core journal in the fields of lasers and optics. The first issue of this journal appeared in 1982.COL is published monthly by the Chinese Optics Letters Manuscript Office and is sponsored by the Chinese Optical Society, undertaken by the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and is distributed by the Optical Society of America outside of the Chinese mainland.COL is one of the leading Chinese journals for optics in China.

Chinese Physics C covers research into the theory and experiment of particle physics, nuclear physics, particle and nuclear astrophysics, and cosmology.

Chinese Physics Letters provides rapid publication of short reports and important research in all fields of physics and is published by the Chinese Physical Society and hosted online by IOP Publishing.

Classical and Quantum Gravity welcomes original research articles on all branches of gravitational physics and the theory of spacetime. The readership of the journal is broad, comprising gravitational theorists and experimentalists in physics, mathematics and cosmology. All articles should be of interest to this broad readership and should contain a summary that places the findings in the wider context of gravitational physics.

Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces is an international journal devoted to fundamental and applied research on colloid and interfacial phenomena in relation to systems of biological origin, having particular relevance to the medical, pharmaceutical, biotechnological, food and cosmetic fields.Each Editor of Colloids and Surfaces B has specific fields of expertise. To ensure a smooth and rapid refereeing process, please submit your article to the Editor related to the topic of your research (you can select the correct editor in the drop down menu in our online submission system: http://ees.elsevier.com/colsub):John Brash•Interactions of biomolecules (proteins, enzymes, peptides, polysaccharides, DNA) at the solid-solution and air-solution interfaces;•Surface/interfacial interactions of tissue and blood; Biomaterials development and interfacial properties;•Drug delivery/controlled releaseHenk Busscher•Physico-chemical mechanisms of microbial adhesion, biofilm formation and tissue cell interaction to surfaces•Microbial adhesion and biofilm formation•Role of surface characteristics, surface modification and protein adsorption on microbial adhesion and biofilm formation•Physico-chemical mechanisms providing biolubrication to surfacesHong Chen•Surface modification including structured surfaces;•Biocompatible materials;•Anti-fouling materials;•Bio-detection/bio-imaging materials;•Interactions of biomolecules and cells at interfaces.Dganit Danino•Self-assembly and molecular assemblies (proteins, polymers, peptides, surfactants)•Structure of biological fluids•Drug delivery vehicles at nano and meso scales•1D structures - fibrils, ribbons, nanotubes•Milk proteinsSubmissions that: (1) deal solely with biological phenomena and do not describe the physico-chemical or colloid-chemical background and/or mechanism of the phenomena, and (2) deal solely with colloid/interfacial phenomena and do not have appropriate biological content or relevance, are outside the scope of the journal and will not be considered for publication.The journal publishes regular research papers, reviews, short communications and invited perspective articles, called BioInterface Perspectives. The BioInterface Perspective provide researchers the opportunity to review their own work, as well as provide insight into the work of others that inspired and influenced the author. Regular articles should have a maximum total length of 6,000 words. In addition, a (combined) maximum of 8 normal-sized figures and/or tables is allowed (so for instance 3 tables and 5 figures). For multiple-panel figures each set of two panels equates to one figure. Short communications should not exceed half of the above. It is required to give on the article cover page a short statistical summary of the article listing the total number of words and tables/figures.

Combustion Theory and Modelling is devoted to the application of mathematical modelling, numerical simulation and experimental techniques to the study of combustion. Experimental studies that are published in the Journal should be closely related to theoretical issues, by highlighting fundamental theoretical questions or by providing a sound basis for comparison with theory. Articles can cover a wide range of topics, such as: premixed laminar flames, laminar diffusion flames, turbulent combustion, fires, chemical kinetics, pollutant formation, microgravity, materials synthesis, vapour deposition, catalysis, droplet and spray combustion, detonation dynamics, thermal explosions, ignition, energetic materials and propellants, burners and engine combustion. A wide range of mathematical methods may also be used, including large scale numerical simulation, hybrid computational schemes, front tracking, adaptive mesh refinement, optimized parallel computation, asymptotic methods and singular perturbation techniques, bifurcation theory, optimization methods, dynamical systems theory, cellular automata and discrete methods and probabilistic and statistical methods.All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.DisclaimerTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.
