Journal Guide

The Journal of Cellular Physiology publishes reports of high biological significance in areas of eukaryotic cell biology and physiology, focusing on those articles that adopt a molecular mechanistic approach to investigate cell structure and function. There is appreciation for the application of cellular, biochemical, molecular and in vivo genetic approaches, as well as the power of genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics and systems biology. In particular, the Journal encourages submission of high-interest papers investigating the genetic and epigenetic regulation of proliferation and phenotype as well as cell fate and lineage commitment by growth factors, cytokines and their cognate receptors and signal transduction pathways that influence the expression, integration and activities of these physiological mediators. Similarly, the Journal encourages submission of manuscripts exploring the regulation of growth and differentiation by cell adhesion molecules in addition to the interplay between these processes and those induced by growth factors and cytokines. Studies on the genes and processes that regulate cell cycle progression and phase transition in eukaryotic cells, and the mechanisms that determine whether cells enter quiescence, proliferate or undergo apoptosis are also welcomed. Submission of papers that address contributions of the extracellular matrix to cellular phenotypes and physiological control as well as regulatory mechanisms governing fertilization, embryogenesis, gametogenesis, cell fate, lineage commitment, differentiation, development and dynamic parameters of cell motility are encouraged. Finally, the investigation of stem cells and changes that differentiate cancer cells from normal cells including studies on the properties and functions of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes will remain as one of the major interests of the Journal.

The Journal of Cellular Plastics is a fully peer reviewed international journal that publishes original research and review articles covering the latest advances in foamed plastics technology.Original articles provide current information that help tailor foamed plastics to specific product and market requirements. Diagrams, flowcharts and photographs illustrate new processing steps and machinery.All types of foamed plastics are examined: · flexible · rigid · microcellular · reinforced · elastomeric · composites.

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine is an international journal publishing peer-reviewed articles dedicated to original research and concepts in all fields of cellular and molecular medicine.

Social change within the countries of Central Europe has brought major changes in agriculture. The abandonment of central planning and the introduction of the open market have created a need for the quickest possible exchange of knowledge. All countries in transition have similar problems; so a logical step is to create a shared journal. The beginning of a new millennium and the spreading of new electronic technologies creates new fields of publishing and easier access to knowledge from remote places. Besides a need for knowledge, there is a need to share problems and solutions with our neighbours but it is also equally important to keep and develop our national languages and identities. We have tried to combine such contradictory problems in one unifying electronic agricultural journal for Central and Eastern Europe. Not less important intention is to ease the demand on the present West European journals in agriculture, and to give opportunity and encouragement to Central European scientists to publish faster. The multilingual strategy of the journal accepts the world intention to preserve and support the development of national languages. The Journal publishes original articles, rapid communication of information and proceedings of scientific meetings in English, Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Hungarian, Romanian, Slovak and Slovenian.

The Journal mainly publishes original academic papers which represent the latest research achievements in such fields as materials science and engineering, metallurgical science and engineering, mineral processing, geology and mining, chemical engineering, and mechanical, electronic and information engineering.

The Journal of Cereal Science was established in 1983 to provide an International forum for the publication of original research papers of high standing covering all aspects of cereal science related to the functional and nutritional quality of cereal grains and their products.The journal also publishes concise and critical review articles appraising the status and future directions of specific areas of cereal science and short rapid communications that present news of important advances in research. The journal aims at topicality and at providing comprehensive coverage of progress in the field.Papers submitted to Journal of Cereal Science should not be purely descriptive or confirmatory in nature, but should be innovative and offer new insights into cereal science research.Research Areas Include:• Composition and analysis of cereal grains in relation to quality in end use• Morphology, biochemistry, and biophysics of cereal grains relevant to functional and nutritional characteristics• Structure and physicochemical properties of functionally and nutritionally important components of cereal grains such as polysaccharides, proteins, oils, enzymes, vitamins, and minerals• Storage of cereal grains and derivatives and effects on nutritional and functional quality• Genetics, agronomy, and pathology of cereal crops if there is a substantive relationship to end-use properties of cereal grains• Functional and nutritional aspects of cereal-based foods and beverages, whether baked, fermented, or extruded• Industrial products (e.g., starch derivatives, syrups, protein concentrates, and isolates) from cereal grains, and their technology• functional genomics as it relates to end-use quality.Database coverage includes AGRICOLA, Biological Abstracts (BIOSIS), Chemical Abstracts, Current Contents, Food Science and Technology Abstracts, Maize Abstracts, Research Abstracts, and Science Citation Index.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
