Journal Guide

From 2011, Current Issues in Tourism will feature two new sections - CIT Letters and CIT Reviews. To find out more about these sections, including how to submit material, please click here. Current Issues in Tourism is a new type of tourism journal which encourages in-depth discussion and critique of key questions within the subject. It offers a readable format for extended peer-reviewed papers, commentaries, letters and reviews, all designed to spark off further reader response and debate. It contains both applied and theoretical work that addresses tourism inquiry, method and practice. Lively and rigorous, it welcomes contributions from the broad gamut of subjects which make up the stuff of tourism studies. Current Issues in Tourism is designed to be accessible to both new and experienced researchers and practitioners on a global basis. The principal aims of the journal are to: encourage the full disciplinary and interdisciplinary range of approaches which are available to the study of tourism; bring together researchers from different subject backgrounds for interdisciplinary debate; develop the theoretical base on which the study of tourism is built; provide a basis for the development of critical approaches to the study of tourism; disseminate new approaches, concepts, frameworks and models which may be developed in the study of tourism; promote new research; assist in the creation of new networks of researchers; encourage young researchers. One of the unique features of the journal is a 6-week response period following publication to allow both postal and e-mail comment on papers (CIT Interactive). Each issue contains at least two extended peer-reviewed papers of between 15,000 and 25,000 words in length. There are also Reports, Rejoinders and Commentary (on both current and past papers) of up to 3000 words, plus book review articles of up to 3000 words. Occasional special symposia issues will also be produced focusing on a special topic. Refereeing procedures Every article within the remit of the journal is peer reviewed by a minimum of two experts.

Recent Patents on Materials Science publishes review and research articles, and guest edited thematic issues on recent patents in all areas of materials science. A selection of important and recent patents on materials science is also included in the journal. The journal is essential reading for all researchers involved in materials science. The journal also covers recent research (where patents have been registered) in fast emerging areas of materials science, biomaterials, biological materials, magnetic materials, medical implant materials, nanomaterials, ceramics, plastics, polymers, semi-conductors, coatings, composites, paper, wood, textile, methods, design and techniques.

Current Mechanics and Advanced Materials is an international journal devoted to publishing peer-reviewed, high quality, original papers in the field of Materials science. The following article types are published: original research articles, reviews, thematic issues, editorials, letters, and conference reports.

Current Medical Imaging publishes frontier review articles, original research articles, case reports, drug clinical trial studies and guest edited thematic issues on all the latest advances on medical imaging dedicated to clinical research. All relevant areas are covered by the journal, including advances in the diagnosis, instrumentation and therapeutic applications related to all modern medical imaging techniques. The journal is essential reading for all clinicians and researchers involved in medical imaging and diagnosis.

Current Medicinal Chemistry covers all the latest and outstanding developments in medicinal chemistry and rational drug design. Each issue contains a series of timely in-depth reviews and guest edited thematic issues written by leaders in the field covering a range of the current topics in medicinal chemistry. Current Medicinal Chemistry is an essential journal for every medicinal chemist who wishes to be kept informed and up-to-date with the latest and most important developments.

The journal accepts original articles on clinical/laboratory research in the field of medicine, and review articles on topics of current interest. In addition, the journal features articles of educational value to postgraduate students such as "Research Methods" and "Technology Updates". CMRP aims at publishing articles with a special focus on health in developing countries, which highlight the common problems of the region and their possible solutions. Our aim is to stimulate high quality medical research and support evidence based medical practice in India and its neighboring countries. In the recent past we have published articles on Corruption in Indian Medicine which was extensively covered and discussed in both the national and international media. We also carried a retrospective 18 year survey on Burns in the Jammu region which highlighted the fact that women were overwhelmingly more affected than men and nearly three quarters of those admitted to hospital died.

The journal has a special section for postgraduate students where articles on recent CMEs along with special images are published.

The Editorial and Advisory Boards are composed of eminent doctors from India and abroad who have agreed to actively support the journals aims and objectives. Contributions are welcome from anywhere in the world.

Current Metabolomics and Systems Biology publishes full-length/mini reviews, original research articles, thematic issues, and technical notes covering all aspects of the recent advancements and applications of Omics technology to systems biology, disease diagnosis, personalized medicine, drug discovery, toxicity, nutrition and food, environmental studies, and functional genomics. While the journal emphasis metabolomics, manuscripts describing the application of other Omics technology (e.g., genomics, proteomics, and transcriptomics), especially in combination with metabolomics, to systems biology are also welcome. This includes the application of Omics technology to clinical studies. Manuscripts appropriate for Current Metabolomics and Systems Biology should emphasize the application, development or enhancement of OMICS technology.

Current Microbiology offers rapid publication of new research on all aspects of microbial cells including prokaryotes and eukaryotes and, where appropriate, viruses. The coverage spans general, medical, and applied microbiology and virology, drawing on physiology, biochemistry, genetics, biotechnology, morphology, taxonomy, diagnostic methods, and immunology as applied to microorganisms.

Current Microwave Chemistry is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes important contributions describing advances in the use of the microwave in the fields of chemistry, biology, medicine, biomedical science, and engineering. The journal covers microwave-assisted synthesis of novel organic, organometallic and inorganic molecules or complexes, kinetics and mechanistic studies of microwave-induced chemical reactions and potential use of microwave irradiation in the fields of drug discovery, green chemistry, catalysis and industrial process development. It is the premier source of microwave related information for chemists, biologists, pharmacologists and engineers in both industry and academia.

Current Molecular Medicine is an interdisciplinary journal focused on providing the readership with current and comprehensive reviews, original research articles, short communications/letters and drug clinical trial studies on fundamental molecular mechanisms of disease pathogenesis, the development of molecular-diagnosis and/or novel approaches to rational treatment. The reviews should be of significant interest to basic researchers and clinical investigators in molecular medicine. Periodically the journal invites guest editors to devote an issue on a basic research area that shows promise to advance our understanding of the molecular mechanism(s) of a disease or has potential for clinical applications.

Current Molecular Pharmacology aims to publish the latest developments in cellular and molecular pharmacology with a major emphasis on the mechanism of action of novel drugs under development, innovative pharmacological technologies, cell signaling, transduction pathway analysis, genomics, proteomics, and metabonomics applications to drug action. An additional focus will be the way in which normal biological function is illuminated by knowledge of the action of drugs at the cellular and molecular level. The journal publishes expert reviews , original research articles and thematic issues on molecular pharmacology.
