Journal Guide

The Journal of Oral Biosciences is the official journal of the Japanese Association for Oral Biology, and is published quarterly in addition to a supplementary issue for the Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Japanese Association for Oral Biology. The Journal is devoted to the advancement and dissemination of fundamental knowledge concerning every aspect of oral biosciences including cariology research, craniofacial biology, dental materials, implant biology, geriatric oral biology, microbiology/immunology and infection control, mineralized tissue, neuroscience, oral oncology, periodontal research, pharmacology, pulp biology, salivary research, and other fields.

The official publication of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry and of the American Academy of Implant Prosthodontics, is dedicated to providing valuable information to general dentists, oral surgeons, prosthodontists, periodontists, scientists, clinicians, laboratory owners and technicians, manufacturers, and educators. Implant basics, prosthetics, pharmaceuticals, the latest research in implantology, implant surgery, and advanced implant procedures are just some of the topics covered.

The aim of the Journal of Oral Pathology & Medicine is to publish manuscripts of high scientific quality representing original clinical, diagnostic or experimental work in oral pathology and oral medicine. Papers advancing the science or practice of these disciplines will be welcomed, especially those which bring new knowledge and observations from the application of techniques within the spheres of light and electron microscopy, tissue and organ culture, immunology, histochemistry and immunocytochemistry, microbiology, genetics and biochemistry. Review papers on topical and relevant subjects will receive a high priority. Original research material requiring rapid publication because of their significance and timeliness will be included as Brief Reports. They should not exceed three pages. All submitted manuscripts falling within the overall scope of the Journal will be assessed by at least two suitably qualified referees. Rapid publication.

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation aims to be the most prestigious journal of dental research within all aspects of oral rehabilitation and applied oral physiology. It covers all diagnostic and clinical management aspects necessary to re-establish a subjective and objective harmonious oral function. Oral rehabilitation may become necessary as a result of developmental or acquired disturbances in the orofacial region, orofacial traumas, or a variety of dental and oral diseases (primarily dental caries and periodontal diseases) and orofacial pain conditions. As such, oral rehabilitation in the twenty-first century is a matter of skilful diagnosis and minimal, appropriate intervention, the nature of which is intimately linked to a profound knowledge of oral physiology, oral biology, and dental and oral pathology. The scientific content of the journal therefore strives to reflect the best of evidence-based clinical dentistry. Modern clinical management should be based on solid scientific evidence gathered about diagnostic procedures and the properties and efficacy of the chosen intervention (e.g. material science, biological, toxicological, pharmacological or psychological aspects). The content of the journal also reflects documentation of the possible side-effects of rehabilitation, and includes prognostic perspectives of the treatment modalities chosen.Basic sciences are developing rapidly in contemporary society, but it may take some time before important new knowledge finds its way into daily clinical practice. Good clinical science deals with the diagnosis and appropriate treatment of individual patients. We need well-educated dentists to identify the numerous unsolved questions relevant to oral rehabilitation, in order to stimulate clinical and basic sciences to provide scientifically documented answers. It is the intention of the journal to stimulate contributions, which may help to bridge the gap between relevant basic sciences and clinical dentistry.The focus for the journal is to present original research findings; to generate critical reviews and relevant case stories, and to stimulate commentaries and professional debates in Letters to the Editor. We will invite relevant commercial interests to engage in the journal in order to make it the international forum for debate between dental clinical dental clinical sciences and industry, which share a common goal: to improve the quality of oral rehabilitation.

This monthly journal offers comprehensive coverage of new techniques, important developments and innovative ideas in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Practice-applicable articles help develop the methods used to handle dentoalveolar surgery, facial injuries and deformities, TMJ disorders, oral cancer, jaw reconstruction, anesthesia and analgesia. The journal also includes specifics on new instruments and diagnostic equipment and modern therapeutic drugs and devices. Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is recommended for first or priority subscription by the Dental Section of the Medical Library Association.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

The Journal will publish papers of highly scientific value primarily related to oral and maxillofacial surgery, medicine, and pathology. It will also cover the wide scope of oral and maxillofacial sciences, including oral oncology, oral radiology, and oral biology. The Journal will publish original research papers, review articles, technical notes, case reports, book reviews, and letters to the editor in subjects relating to clinical practice and research into the three main fields of interest to the publication. We welcome papers not only from Asia, but also from all regions throughout the world.

Journal of Organic Semiconductors is a multi-disciplinary Open Access journal whose focus is the science and technology of organic semiconducting materials. The journal publishes original articles on all aspects of organic semiconducting materials, including molecular design and synthesis, processing, optoelectronic properties of organic materials, thin film growth, and characterisation and electronic applications of organic semiconductors.

Research Areas include:

• Optical, electrical, morphological characterization techniques and parameter extraction
• Applications of organic electronics, including theory and device design
• Fabrication of organic semiconductor devices such as organic light emitting diodes, thin film transistors, photovoltaic cells, and metal/semiconductor diode sensors
• Nanoscale electronic and optoelectronic devices, sensors, and alternative electronic materials

The Journal of Organizational Behavior aims to publish empirical reports and theoretical reviews of research in the field of organizational behavior, wherever in the world that work is conducted. The journal will focus on research and theory in all topics associated with organizational behavior within and across individual, group and organizational levels of analysis, including:

The Journal of Organizational Behavior Management--the official journal of the OBM Network--is a periodical devoted specifically to scientific principles to improve organizational performance through behavioral change. The journal publishes research and review articles, reports from the field, discussions, and book reviews on the topics that are critical to today's organization development practitioners, operations managers, and human resource professionals. Journal of Organizational Behavior Management focuses on specific topics such as: * Applied Behavior Analysis Concepts and Principles * Performance Management * Behavioral Systems Analysis * Performance Measurement and Evidence-Based Management * Goal Setting, Feedback, and Incentive Programs * Performance Based Instruction * Contingency Assessment * Human Resource issues (absenteeism, tardiness, and turnover) * Operational issues (shrink, productivity, and quality) The Journal of Organizational Behavior Management occasionally produces thematic issues that concentrate on a single, highly relevant topic. Thematic issues focus on Behavioral Economics, Behavioral Safety, Behavioral System Analysis, and Statistical Process Control. Peer Review Policy: All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous blind peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by 3-4 anonymous referees. Invited articles and book reviews undergo editorial review. Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.
