Journal Guide

Experiment, an annual journal devoted to Russian culture, focuses on the movements of the early twentieth century. These include both traditional and non-traditional avenues of academic enquiry, such as studio painting and graffiti, sculpture and ballroom dancing, architecture and commercial advertising. It is hoped that broader examination of such disciplines within critical discourse will provide a stronger and more precise definition of Russia's cultural accomplishment. Supervised by an editorial board of international stature, Experiment emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach, drawing upon archival sources while promoting and documenting the history of the Russian arts. The journal recognizes the achievements both of Imperial and Soviet Russia and of the diaspora.

Founded in 1966, Experimental Brain Research publishes original contributions on many aspects of experimental research of the central and peripheral nervous system. The focus is on molecular, physiology, behavior, neurochemistry, developmental, cellular and molecular neurobiology, and experimental pathology relevant to general problems of cerebral function. The journal publishes original papers, reviews, and mini-reviews.

Experimental Cell Research promotes the understanding of cell biology by publishing experimental studies on the general organization and activity of cells. The scope of the journal includes all aspects of cell biology, from the molecular level to the level of cell interaction and differentiation.Experimental Cell Research publishes papers in the area of cell and molecular biology, and papers must provide novel and significant insights into important problems in these areas. Areas of interest include, but are not restricted to:- Apoptosis and programmed cell death- Cancer research- Cell cycle- Cell proliferation and differentiation- Cellular motility and migration- Cell-cell and cell-matrix interaction- Chromatin- Chromosome structure and dynamics- Cytoskeleton- Developmental biology- DNA repair- Epigenetics- Extracellular matrix- Gene regulation- Intracellular trafficking- Mammalian genetic models- Meiosis and mitosis- MicroRNA- Nuclear import-export- RNA processing- Signal transduction- Stem cell biology- Subcellular organizationExperimental Cell Research has partnered with Gastroenterologyhttp://www.gastrojournal.org/ to offer fast track review for certain articles. Articles rejected from Gastroenterology because of their strong biological focus may be directed to ECR for fast track review. Similarly, articles deemed too clinical for ECR and more appropriate for Gastroenterology may be fast tracked through Gastroenterology's review process. Both journals retain editorial independence and reserve the right to request additional changes, re-review, or reject manuscripts.

Experimental Dermatology provides a vehicle for the rapid publication of innovative and definitive reports, letters to the editor and review articles covering all aspects of experimental dermatology. Preference is given to papers of immediate importance to other investigators, either by virtue of their new methodology, experimental data or new ideas. The essential criteria for publication are clarity, experimental soundness and novelty. Letters to the editor related to published reports may also be accepted, provided that they are short and scientifically relevant to the reports mentioned, in order to provide a continuing forum for discussion. Review articles represent a state-of-the-art overview and are invited by the editors. Colour illustrations will be accepted free of charge.

Experimental Economics, the official journal of the Economic Science Association, serves the growing group of economists around the world who use laboratory methods to study phenomena that are difficult to observe directly in naturally occurring economic contexts. The journal publishes high quality papers in any area of experimental research in economics and in related fields such as accounting, finance, political science, and the psychology of decision-making. Readers will also find state-of-the-art theoretical work and econometric work motivated by experimental data. Lastly, the journal publishes articles with a primary focus on methodology or replication of controversial findings. Experimental Economics provides a forum for interactive discussions of major issues by inviting papers and comments on broad topics. In addition to full-length research articles, the journal features a section devoted to short papers.Officially cited as: Exp Econ

The primary goal of Experimental Eye Research is to publish original research papers on all aspects of experimental biology of the eye and ocular tissues that seek to define the mechanisms of normal function and/or disease. Studies of ocular tissues that encompass the disciplines of cell biology, developmental biology, genetics, molecular biology, physiology, biochemistry, biophysics, immunology or microbiology are most welcomed. Manuscripts that are purely clinical or in a surgical area of ophthalmology are not appropriate for submission to Experimental Eye Research and if received will be returned without review.Most manuscripts published are original articles describing new research findings. For review purposes the journal is divided into four sections: Aqueous Humor and Blood Flow; Cornea and Ocular Surface; Lens; and Retina and Choroid, each with their own section editors and a roster of Executive Editors that have expertise in these specialized areas.The Journal also publishes review articles, short communications, letters-to-the-editor, and methods papers. Full descriptions of each of these types of articles are detailed in the Guide for Authors.Research areas include:Production and circulation of ocular fluids and the dysfunction of these pathways underlying ocular diseaseAngiogenesis, neovascularization and regulation of blood flow in the eye in health and diseaseCell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, and biophysics of the eye or eye tissueDevelopmental and regenerative biology of the eyeHuman and molecular genetics studies of inherited eye diseasesGene therapy and neuroprotection targeted at preventing inherited ocular diseasesNeural and general physiology of the visual process
