Gathering original research reports and short communications from all over the world, Human Heredity is devoted to methodological and applied research on the genetics of human populations, association and linkage analysis, genetic mechanisms of disease, and new methods for statistical genetics, for example, analysis of rare variants and results from next-generation sequencing. The value of this information to many branches of medicine is shown by the number of citations the journal receives in fields ranging from immunology and hematology to epidemiology and public health planning. Special issues on methodological topics (such as “Consanguinity and Genomics” in 2014; “Integration of Omics Data in Genetic Epidemiology” in 2015) or reviews of advances in particular fields (“Genetic Diversity in European Populations: Evolutionary Evidence and Medical Implications” in 2014; “Genes and the Environment in Obesity” in 2013) are published every year. Renowned experts in the field are invited

Human Immunology publishes full-length original articles, brief communications and reviews covering a wide range of subjects including immunogenetics, innate and adaptive immunity, transplantation immunology, autoimmunity, infections diseases and tumor immunology. The scope of the journal is to disseminate information that may contribute to understanding the mechanisms involved in the genetic control of organ and tissue allograft rejection, alloimmunity, chronic infections and progression of malignant diseases.Research areas include:1. Immunogenetic studies on structure and function of molecules involved of immune responses; immunogenetic markers including polymorphism of immunogenetics markers such as HLA, minor histocompatability antigens, immune receptors (KIR, NK, Toll-like, ILT, MICA/B, PAMPs, etc); population frequencies and disease association studies.2. Cellular Immunology and Immune Regulation covering the broad areas of in vitro and in vivo studies of innate and adaptive immunity in health and disease.3. Clinical Immunology including transplantation, cancer immunology, autoimmunity, delayed-type-hypersensivity, immunological deficiencies, immunologic monitoring, immunotherapy, and immunomodulation.4. Biotechnological innovations for detection of new genes and gene products including genomics and proteomics strategies.Manuscript Typesa) Full-Length Articles Limit 4000 words excluding references, tables, and figures Abstract 200 words maximum References up to 50b) Brief Communications Limit 2500 words Abstract 150 words References up to 30c) Review Articles Limit 5000 words, excluding references, tables, and figures Abstract 200 words maximum References up to 80

Human Molecular Genetics concentrates on full-length research papers covering a wide range of topics in all aspects of human molecular genetics. These include: * the molecular basis of human genetic disease * developmental genetics * cancer genetics * neurogenetics * chromosome and genome structure and function * therapy of genetic disease * stem cells in human genetic disease and therapy, including the application of iPS cells * genome-wide association studies * mouse and other models of human diseases * functional genomics * computational genomics In addition, the journal also publishes research on other model systems for the analysis of genes, especially when there is an obvious relevance to human genetics.Key features of the journal include: * Articles - comprehensive reports and definitive research findings of interest to a broad audience of human molecular geneticists. We encourage inclusion of full experimental details, with as many display items (figures and tables) as required to tell the complete story. * Review Issues - Human Molecular Genetics publishes two special review issues each year, including a themed review issue in April.

Human Movement Science provides a forum for presenting, and bringing together, psychological, neurophysiological and biomechanical/biophysical research on human movement. Animal studies, insofar as their significance to human movement is made clear, are equally acceptable. The nature of the research to be reported may vary from fundamental studies of motor control and learning, including the perceptual support of movement, to more applied studies in the fields of, for example, sport, dance and rehabilitation, with the proviso that also the latter studies have a distinct theoretical bearing.Human Movement Science contains: (a) reports of empirical work on human movement; (b) theoretical (overview) articles on human movement, including its modelling; (c) letters to the editor containing a critical commentary on a published paper. In addition to regular issues, special issues addressing a single theme will be published. Special issues may also contain articles based on papers presented at conferences and workshops or consist of a `target articles' followed by peer commentaries.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Human Mutation is a peer-reviewed journal that offers publication of original Research Articles, Methods, Mutation Updates, Reviews, Database Articles, Mutations in Brief (MIBs), Rapid Communications, and Letters on broad aspects of mutation research in humans. Reports of novel DNA variations and their phenotypic consequences, reports of SNPs demonstrated as valuable for genomic analysis, descriptions of new molecular detection methods, and novel approaches to clinical diagnosis are welcomed. Novel reports of gene organization at the genomic level, reported in the context of mutation investigation, may be considered. The journal provides a unique forum for the exchange of ideas, methods, and applications of interest to molecular, human, and medical geneticists in academic, industrial, and clinical research settings worldwide.

Human Nature is dedicated to advancing the interdisciplinary investigation of the biological, social, and environmental factors that underlie human behavior. It focuses primarily on the functional unity in which these factors are continuously and mutually interactive. These include the evolutionary, biological, and sociological processes as they interact with human social behavior; the biological and demographic consequences of human history; the cross-cultural, cross-species, and historical perspectives on human behavior; and the relevance of a biosocial perspective to scientific, social, and policy issues.
