Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface
Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface is the preeminent journal in the area of neuromodulation, providing our readership with state of the art clinical, translational, and basic science research in the field. For clinicians, engineers, scientists, and members of the medical device industry alike, Neuromodulation provides timely and rigorously peer-reviewed articles on the technology, science, and clinical application of devices that interface with the nervous system to treat disease, alleviate symptoms, and improve function. Representing the needs of the broad neuromodulation community, the journal serves as an instrument for exchanging high-quality data, advancing science, and as a forum for debate and commentary. Neuromodulation covers an ever-expanding field including pain, headache, movement disorders, spasticity, paralysis, psychiatric and cognitive disorders, epilepsy, sensory deprivation, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary disorders among others. As the official journal of the International Neuromodulation Society (INS), it represents the international practice of neuromodulation, a growing, diverse multidisciplinary field responsible for the development and application of both invasive and non-invasive devices and techniques to benefit individuals by normalizing or augmenting function and reducing the impact of disease. In-depth reviews, original articles, national and international meeting abstracts, special focus editions, and web-based and social media educational offerings help the reader to expand their knowledge and understanding of the interface between electrical stimulation, chemical neuromodulation and the nervous system. Our updates on past and future news of events and activities of the INS and its membership keep the reader abreast of issues related to professional education and development in this dynamic field.- ISSN: 1094-7159

Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics
The Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (JAND) is the official research publication of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The purpose, expressed in the mission statement, is to be "the premier peer-reviewed journal in the field of food, nutrition, and dietetics." JAND is published in both print and electronic formats and publishes pre-proof and Articles in Press (articles posted on JAND's website before the print version). Submission to JAND is open to all individuals in the food, nutrition, and dietetics profession as well as allied health fields. JAND publishes manuscripts that advance knowledge across a wide range of research and practice issues in nutrition and dietetics. Evidence-based contributions of original research; focused meta-analyses of cohort and randomized clinical trials; systematic reviews; and innovative research applications are welcome. Topics include foods and nutrients and their implications in health and disease; dietary patterns and dietary interventions; nutritional science, nutrigenomics, and medical nutrition therapy; translational research; dietetics practice and public health; nutrition epidemiology and bio-statistical applications in nutrition research; foodservice systems; leadership and management in food and nutrition systems and application to public policy; and medical nutrition and dietetics education. Food science and biotechnology submissions are welcome providing there is application to human health with relevance for dietitians. International contributions on global topics of nutrition interest are also welcome, providing there is relevance to the largely US readership and findings are placed within that context. Major trends that impact research and practice in the fields of food, nutrition, and dietetics may also be considered if placed in appropriate contexts for JAND 's readership (eg, population demographic transitions, environmental trends, health care advancements). JAND does not publish market research studies; studies that lack testable hypotheses or measurable objectives; studies that use un-validated scientific methods; sections from theses or dissertations unless systematic and rigorous in their design. JAND does not publish animal studies, studies lacking scientific rigor and quality control, studies without a control group when indicated by study design, or studies with random findings or author opinions. Abstracts that were presented at a scientific meeting do not preclude a manuscript from consideration for publication. Reviewing and closely following the guidelines will facilitate the review of your manuscript and save time for authors and reviewers. JAND follows the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) recommendations for clinical trial registration and requires registration of all clinical trial studies that began after January 1, 2011. The ICMJE requires registration of clinical trials in a public trials registry at or before the time of first patient enrollment as a condition of consideration for publication. According to the ICMJE, a clinical trial is defined as "any research project that prospectively assigns people or a group of people to an intervention, with or without concurrent comparison or control groups, to study the cause-and-effect relationship between a health-related intervention and a health outcome. Health-related interventions are those used to modify a biomedical or health-related outcome; examples include drugs, surgical procedures, devices, behavioral treatments, educational programs, dietary interventions, quality improvement interventions, and process-of-care changes. Health outcomes are any biomedical or health-related measures obtained in patients or participants." See www.icmje.org/about-... for a list of acceptable ICMJE clinical trial registries. Secondary data analyses of primary (parent) clinical trials should not be registered as separate clinical trials, but instead reference the trial registration number of the primary trial in the manuscript text. Please report the trial registration number (TRN) and the website where the clinical trial is registered on the author page when submitting an article. In addition, the TRN should be included in the methods section of the manuscript.- ISSN: 2212-2672
