Part C: Toxicology and Pharmacology is concerned with chemical and drug action at different levels of organization, biotransformation of xenobiotics, mechanisms of toxicity, including reactive oxygen species and carcinogenesis, endocrine disruptors, natural products chemistry, and signal transduction with a molecular approach to these fields.The Journal receives editorial direction from all the major societies in the field (European Society for Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry,the Japanese Society for Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry, Canadian Society of Zoologists (CBP Section), the Society for Experimental Biology, the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology (formerly the American Society for Zoologists), the Australian and New Zealand Society for Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry, the South American Society for Comparative Physiology & Biochemistry, the Russian Physiological Society, and the Chinese Association for Physiological Sciences)Part A: Molecular & Integrative PhysiologyPart B: Biochemistry & Molecular BiologyPart D: Genomics & Proteomics

Part D: Genomics and Proteomics. This section covers the broader comprehensive approaches to comparative biochemistry and physiology that can be generally termed as " -omics", e.g., genomics, functional genomics (transcriptomics), proteomics, metabolomics, and underlying bioinformatics. Papers dealing with fundamental aspects and hypotheses in comparative physiology and biochemistry are encouraged rather than studies whose main focus is purely technical or methodological.Comparative Biochemistry & Physiology, with its four sections, receives editorial direction from all the major societies in the field (European Society for Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry,the Japanese Society for Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry, Canadian Society of Zoologists (CBP Section), the Society for Experimental Biology, the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology (formerly the American Society for Zoologists), the Australian and New Zealand Society for Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry, the South American Society for Comparative Physiology & Biochemistry, the Russian Physiological Society, and the Chinese Association for Physiological Sciences)Part A: Molecular & Integrative PhysiologyPart B: Biochemistry & Molecular BiologyPart C: Toxicology & Pharmacology

Comparative Clinical Pathology (previously Comparative Haematology International) provides a source for the publication of reviews, research reports, technical notes and case histories covering all aspects of haematology and clinical chemistry in any species. The journal addresses itself to all scientists with an interest in the field of comparative clinical pathology: research institutes, toxicology and pathology laboratories, medical and veterinary colleges and practises, zoological institutes, universities and teaching hospitals. Comparative Clinical Pathology publishes papers encompassing the total spectrum of comparative clinical pathology including: classical haematology and clinical chemistry, cellular and organ physiology and function, toxicology, immunology, cell kinetics, haemostasis, haematopoietic and other malignancies, immunodeficiency states, molecular biology, immunophenotyping, bone marrow transplantation, enzymology, endocrinology, cytokines, haematopoietic growth factors, evolutionary medicine, cellular lineage, rheology, functional identification and biomarkers. Articles can incorporate: normal values, abnormal reactions, human, veterinary and zoological data, diagnostic and toxicological changes, experimental studies (both in vivo and in vitro) and new technology and its impact on diagnosis and disease control.

Comparative Critical Studies covers literary theory and criticism; comparative and cultural studies; and interdisciplinary debate. It includes major plenary lectures given at BCLA conferences by well known speakers, commissioned articles relating to given themes, some creative writing, translations (including the winning entries in the annual BCLA/BCLT translation competition), discussions of translation, essay reviews, and special bibliographies on the theme for the year, or on individual writers.

The Journal of Comparative Cytogenetics is a peer-reviewed, open-access, rapid online journal launched to accelerate research on all aspects of plant and animal cytogenetics, karyosystematics, and molecular systematics.All published papers can be freely copied, downloaded, printed and distributed at no charge for the reader. Authors are thus encouraged to post the pdf files of published papers on their homepages or elsewhere to expedite distribution. There is no charge for color.

Listen to an interview with Michele Schweisfurth, Editor, of Comparative Education Comparative Education is an international peer-reviewed research journal which, since its inception in 1964, has contributed to the growing importance of comparative perspectives in the analysis of educational issues in national, international, and global contexts. The journal engages with theoretical, conceptual and methodological debates in the whole field of comparative education. It publishes rigorous analyses of educational phenomena, policies and developments that are of theoretical and practical importance and of relevance to scholars, policy-makers and practitioners alike. We are particularly interested in in-depth studies investigating the interplay of international and domestic forces in the shaping of educational ideologies, educational systems, and patterns of teaching and learning. Submissions are welcomed from scholars engaged in high quality comparative research in all fields and from all paradigmatic perspectives in the social and human sciences. Peer Review Policy: All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing.

Comparative Education Review investigates education throughout the world and the social, economic, and political forces that shape it. Founded in 1957 to advance knowledge and teaching in comparative education studies, the Review has since established itself as the most reliable source for the analysis of the place of education in countries other than the United States. CER is the official journal of the Comparative and International Education Society (CIES).

Comparative European Politics (CEP) arises out of a unique editorial partnership linking political scientists in Europe and North America. CEP defines its scope broadly to include the comparative politics and political economy of the whole of contemporary Europe within and beyond the European Union, the processes of European integration and enlargement and the place of Europe and European states within international/global political and economic dynamics. As the most regionally integrated political and economic space within the global system, Europe presents a particular opportunity to political scientists to explore the dynamic relationship between transnational, international and domestic processes and practices. The editors welcome original theoretical, empirical and theoretically-informed pieces which deal with these relationships. Such issues pose awkward questions about the limitations of existing disciplinary perspectives and theoretical conventions, requiring theoretical and methodological innovation and an ability to develop genuinely interdisciplinary approaches. CEP aims to publish exceptional work prepared to rise to this challenge. The journal is rigorously peer-reviewed. It neither reflects nor represents any particular school or approach, nor does it restrict itself to particular methodologies or theoretical perspectives. Rather, whilst promoting interdisciplinarity and a greater dialogue between the various sub-disciplines of European political analysis, Comparative European Politics publishes the best and most original work in the field. It publishes substantial articles marking either core empirical developments, theoretical innovation or, preferably, both. The journal particularly encourages pieces which seek to develop the link between substantive empirical investigations and theoretical elaboration and those which transcend the artificial separation of domestic, comparative and international analysis. The editors publish a limited number of debate pieces and review articles related to issues of contemporary theoretical and empirical controversy. Whether solicited or unsolicited these are exposed to the same exacting process of peer review.
