Journal Guide

ARPHA Conference Abstracts (ACA) is an innovative open access, peer reviewed, human- and machine-readable journal-style platform designed to assist conference organisers and participants in submission, peer review, editorial management, production, publication and dissemination of conference abstracts in any field of science. The whole process takes place within a single online collaborative environment: ARPHA Writing Tool. Thus, ACA is recommended as a convenient abstract-submission portal to serve as such as soon as a conference’s call for abstracts is opened. 

ARPHA Proceedings is a novel, open access, human- and machine-readable platform designed to assist conference organisers in authoring, submission, peer review, editorial management, publication and dissemination of conference proceedings in any field of science, published with DOI in semantic HTML, XML and PDF.

ARPHA Proceedings allows for innovative publication of extended proceedings that may include figures, citations and data. Video recordings, posters and presentations can be uploaded in bulk after the conference.

ARPHA Proceedings is supported by the ARPHA journal publishing platform, which is the first workflow to support the full life cycle of a manuscript, from writing through submission, peer review, publication, dissemination and archiving within a single online collaborative environment.

African Invertebrates is an international peer-reviewed journal that covers the taxonomy, systematics, biology, biogeography, ecology, conservation and palaeontology of Afrotropical invertebrates, whether terrestrial, freshwater or marine, published jointly by the Council of the KwaZulu-Natal Museum and Pensoft Publishers. A printed version of the journal is produced twice a year. All contributions are published in English (British Standard), with an option to add an abstract in any other language that uses Latin or Cyrillic alphabet. When preparing manuscripts, authors are encouraged to make use of extensive holdings of the KwaZulu-Natal Museum and other South African museums and collections, and to deposit holotypes (paratypes) and voucher specimens in recognised South African institutions.

Atomic Layer Deposition, international journal – ALDJ- is a diamond open access journal, and publishes peer reviewed scientific articles in all aspects of Atomic Layer Deposition and related alternating vapor phase technologies, such as Molecular Layer Deposition, Vapor Phase Infiltration, Atomic Layer Etching and more. The journal is open to literature research publications from all over the world, submitted in the English language. Articles must be original and arising from the authors’ own research. Prior to publication, they must undergo an external double blind review process.

Biodiversity Information Science and Standards (BISS) is an innovative open access journal publishing abstracts related to biodiversity standards, methods, guidelines, models and applications in biodiversity informatics submitted to Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG) for presentation at annual meetings.

The journal also publishes conventional research articles. They will only be considered if they illustrate the development or application of new methods and approaches in biodiversity informatics in the form of case studies.

BISS is published on the ARPHA journal publishing platform, which is the first workflow to support the full life cycle of a manuscript, from writing through submission, peer review, publication and dissemination within a single online collaborative platform.

Bulgarian Cardiology is a peer-reviewed, open access journal first published in 1995 as a scientific body of the Bulgarian Society of Cardiology.

Since its launch the journal has been an important forum of the cardiological community in Bulgaria. Scientific achievements of Bulgarian medical specialists, important practical guidelines of the European Cardiology Society and other scientific publications are published. The high quality of scientific output is the journal’s priority.

Bulgarian Society of Medical Sciences Journal (BSMS) is a peer-reviewed, open-access, online and print, integrative journal of the Bulgarian Society of Medical Sciences, which aims to establish a tradition of meaningful writing that, seriously and unhurriedly, addresses ideas and researches important to the development of medicine. We beg the question how to think of medicine as a science without turning it into a politically-scientific vehicle for advancement and career development for its own sake. The material to be published should be useful to a wide range of professionals from different specialties. The journal has a special interest in history of medicine as a science, undeniably necessary to think properly about the future and the continuity of knowledge.

Check List is a peer-reviewed online journal, devoted to publishing biodiversity data related to species’ geographic distributions. Thus, our primary mission is to fill the so-called Wallacean shortfall (Lomolino 2004) and to improve our knowledge of how life is distributed on the planet in order to better preserve it. These data are essential for studies on biogeography and provide a baseline for the conservation of biodiversity. The first step to undertaking effective conservation action is to maintain records of the distribution of species.

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.

Founded in 1857 as Berliner Entomologische Zeitschrift, the journal Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift is an international journal of systematic entomology. It publishes original research papers in English on the systematics, taxonomy, phylogeny, comparative morphology, and biogeography of insects. Other arthropods are also considered where of relevance to the biology of insects. The geographical scope of the journal is worldwide. Priority is given to revisional work and comprehensive studies of phylogenetic, biological or zoogeographical relevance. We also invite review articles pertaining to the systematics and biology of insects. Impact Factor 0.400* * Thomson Reuters Citation Report 2009 Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift is dedicated to provide a high-quality forum to contribute to the documentation of insect species, their distribution, their properties, and their phylogenetic relationships. All submitted manuscripts are subject to peer-review by the leading specialists for the respective topic. Distinguished authorities form the international advisory board which guarantees the high scientific profile of the journal. This reflected by an outstanding print quality which is adept in conveying the valuable information contained in the often detailed line drawings and photographs of scientific illustrations. Authors are provided - without any page charge - 25 reprints and a high-resolution pdf of their article. For detailed information readers and authors are asked to refer to the following URL for the journal at Wiley Interscience and the Museum fur Naturkunde, respectively:.

Estuarine Management and Technologies is being established to facilitate the electronic publication of peer-reviewed papers encompassing all facets of estuarine management and technologies. The subjects suitable for publication cover a wide spectrum of disciplines, including physics, chemistry, geology, biology, and hydrology within this expansive system. We place a particular emphasis on papers that transcend individual technical domains, offering fresh and insightful perspectives on the attributes and management of this complex ecosystem

European Science Editing publishes original contributions related to scientific and scholarly editing and publishing (for example: research integrity, peer review, bibliometrics, open science, predatory publishing, statistics), writing, translation, and ethics. The aim of the journal is to provide a source of peer-reviewed information on all aspects of scholarly editing and publishing to help editors improve the quality and integrity of publications for which they are responsible.  We welcome manuscripts in the following categories: original research articles, reviews, viewpoints, and correspondence.
