Journal Guide

This journal is designed for the electrical engineering industry and publishes the latest research results on the design and utilization of new types of equipment for that industry and on ways of improving the efficiency of existing equipment.

The journal represents a selection of translated articles from two oldest Russian journals on Mechanical and Production Engineering – Vestnik Mashinostroeniya and STIN. The journal coverage is development of different branches of mechanical engineering, new technologies and tools for machine and materials design. A particular emphasis is placed on operations research and production-line layout, industrial robots and manipulators, quality control and process engineering, kinematic analysis of machine assemblies, and computerized integrated manufacturing systems.

The journal publishes original reports of theoretical and methodological nature in the fields of geology, geophysics, and geochemistry, which contain data on composition and structure of the Earth's crust and mantle, describes processes of formation and general regularities of commercial mineral occurrences, investigations on development and application of geological-geophysical methods for their revealing. As to works of regional nature, accelerated publication are available for original papers on a variety of problems of comparative geology taking into account specific character of Siberia, adjacent Asian countries and water areas. The journal will also publish reviews, critical articles, chronicle of the most important scientific events, and advertisements.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 Russian Journal of Applied Chemistry (Zhurnal Prikladnoi Khimii) covers all application problems of modern chemistry, including the structure of inorganic and organic compounds, kinetics and mechanisms of chemical reactions, problems of chemical processes and apparatus, borderline problems of chemistry and applied research. The journal was founded in 1928.

RUSSIAN JOURNAL OF BIOLOGICAL INVASIONS (RJBI) publishes original scientific papers dealing with biological invasions of alien species in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems for the following subjects: description of invasion process (theory, modeling, results of observations and experiments): invasion corridors, invasion vectors, invader species adaptations, vulnerability of aboriginal ecosystems: monitoring of invasion process (reports about findings of organisms out of the limits of natural range, propagule pressure assessment, settling dynamics, rates of naturalization): invasion risk assessment: genetic, evolutional, and ecological consequences of biological invasions of alien species: methods, means of hoarding, processing and presentation of applied research data (new developments, modeling, research results, data base) with factual and geoinformation system applications: use of the results of biological invasion research (methods and new basic results) under the study of marine, fresh-water and terrestrial species, populations, communities and ecosystems: control, rational use and eradication of the harmful alien species.

The Russian Journal of Bioorganic Chemistry (Bioorganicheskaya khimiya) publishes reviews and the results of original experimental and theoretical investigations on the structure, function, structure–activity relation, and synthesis of biopolymers, such as proteins, nucleic acids, polysaccharides, mixed biopolymers, and their complexes, and low-molecular-mass biologically active compounds (peptides, sugars, lipids, antibiotics, etc.). The journal also covers selected aspects of neuro- and immunochemistry, biotechnology, and ecology. The journal is intended for scientists, tutors and students in higher schools, and researchers in industrial, medical, agricultural, and environmental control laboratories.
