Journal Guide

Future Internet (ISSN 1999-5903) is a scholarly open access journal which provides an advanced forum for scientific studies related to Internet technologies and the information society. It publishes regular research papers, reviews and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers or the use of color figures. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. There are, in addition, unique features of this journal: manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas will be particularly welcomed electronic files or software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material we also accept manuscripts communicating to a broader audience with regard to research projects financed with public funds

Specifically, the journal publishes original researches in all fields that interest Pharmacists as drug absorption & metabolism, pharmacokinetics & dynamics, drug delivery including gene delivery, drug targeting and nano-technology, Pharmacotherapeutics, community and hospital pharmacy as well as Pharmaceutical and hospital management. The scope will also cover researches in toxicology, cell and molecular biology, biomedical research, basic & clinical and pharmaceutical microbiology, pharmaceutical biotechnology, medicinal chemistry, phytochemistry and nutraceuticals.

Proceedings of scientific meetings may be published as special issues or supplements to the Journal. Manuscripts submitted to the Journal are only accepted on the understanding that: they are subject to editorial review (generally by two independent referees); they have not been, and will not be, published in whole or in part in any other journal.

Medicinal chemistry has evolved rapidly into a highly interdisciplinary field, enriched by the collaborative efforts of experts from a wide spectrum of specialist areas, from chemoinformaticians and physical chemists to molecular biologists and pharmacologists. Future Medicinal Chemistry provides a monthly point of access to commentary and debate for this ever-expanding and diversifying community. The journal showcases milestones in pharmaceutical R&D and features expert analysis of emerging research, from the identification of targets, through to the discovery, design, synthesis and evaluation of bioactive agents.

Future Microbiology has inevitably been impacted by the genomic revolution. Research into the extreme diversity of microbial organisms will lead to the elucidation of new biologic pathways and gene products, and thus potential therapeutic strategies to combat or prevent infection. The availability of both human and microbial genome sequences will enable scientists to better understand exactly how microbes interact with the hosts they infect, and how an individual’s genetic make-up influences their susceptibility to pathogens. Future Microbiology delivers essential information. Key advances in the field are reported and analyzed by international experts, providing an authoritative, but accessible, forum for this increasingly important and vast area of research

The neurological landscape is changing rapidly. From the technological perspective, advanced molecular approaches and imaging modalities have greatly increased our understanding of neurological disease, with enhanced prospects for effective treatments in common but very serious disorders. Future Neurology aims to provide an interactive platform to better collate and disseminate basic and clinical research for the wide-ranging neurobiology field. Coverage spans all neurological diseases and disorders but focuses on how recent preclinical research has, and will, benefit the ever-advancing clinical arena through reviews, research updates and perspective pieces that address areas of current controversy. Future Neurology delivers this essential information in concise, at-a-glance article formats – vital in delivering information to an increasingly time-constrained community

Future Oncology takes a forward-looking stance toward the scientific and clinical issues, together with the economic and policy issues that confront us in a new era of cancer care. The journal includes news and views, literature awareness regarding new biomarkers, concise commentary and analysis, reports from the conference circuit and full review articles. Accessible ‘at-a-glance’ formats are important in an increasingly time-constrained clinical community. The article structure has been optimized to make information immediately understandable and accessible.

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.

The Future of Children is a biannual publication of The Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University and The Brookings Institution. It seeks to promote effective policies and programs for children by providing policymakers, service providers, and the media with timely, objective information based on the best available research.
