The Journal of Stored Products Research provides an international medium for the publication of both reviews and original results from laboratory and field research on all aspects of the preservation and safety of stored products along the supply chain starting from production to the consumer. The scope covers both durable commodities, and fresh fruits, vegetables, and freshly manufactured foodstuffs. Durable commodities are characterized by having relatively low moisture content and include raw and semi-processed foods such as grains, dried fruits, and animal feed, and other stored products such as timber, rubber, resins, clothing, and museum artefacts that are generally suitable for long-term storage. Fresh fruits, vegetables, and freshly manufactured foodstuffs (eg. bakery, sausages), are characterized by having high moisture contents but are stored over short to medium-term storage.Manuscripts are welcomed on: the biology, ecology, physiology, behaviour, taxonomy, and genetics of vertebrates (eg. rodents and birds) and invertebrate pests (eg. insects, mites) and microbial spoilage agents (eg. fungi, mold, yeast, and bacteria)environmental factors influencing the life cycles of the above-listed storage pests and spoilage agentsthe physical, chemical, and biological control of pests and spoilage agents, including the use of biologically producing compounds as preservatives with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activitiessubmission of manuscripts containing research on plant materials/botanicals are encouraged only if significant applied aspects are undertaken demonstrating their detailed chemical composition and long-term efficacy in the laboratory, supported by field application and the use of suitable controls: both negative/blank and positive (i.e., a compound of known activity)development of biochemical or behavioural resistance in pests to control measures and their managementstorage biotechnology, integrated pest management, and decision support systemsthe effects of physical, chemical, and environmental control procedures on the physical and chemical nature, besides quality parameters of the stored commoditiesthe assessment, prevention, and control of physical losses and preservation of quality of commodities during storage, and waste managementregulatory, technological, and socio-economic subjects relevant to stored productsNovel approaches in postharvest food engineering and manufacturing technologies, (eg.

Meat Science

ISSN: 0309-1740
5 Year impact factor: 5.9
Impact factor: 5.7

Meat Science has been the leading journal in its field now for more than 40 years.The qualities of meat – its composition, nutritional value, wholesomeness and consumer acceptability – are largely determined by the events and conditions encountered by the embryo, the live animal and the postmortem musculature. The control of these qualities, and their further enhancement, are thus dependent on a fuller understanding of the commodity at all stages of its existence – from the initial conception, growth and development of the organism to the time of slaughter and to the ultimate processing, preparation, distribution, cooking and consumption of its meat.It is the purpose of Meat Science to provide an appropriate medium for the dissemination of interdisciplinary and international knowledge on all the factors which influence the properties of meat. The journal is predominantly concerned with the flesh of mammals; however, contributions on poultry will only be considered, if they demonstrate that they would increase the overall understanding of the relationship between the nature of muscle and the quality of the meat which muscles become post mortem. Papers on large birds (e.g. emus, ostriches) and wild capture mammals and crocodiles will be considered.Benefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

5 Year impact factor: 15.7
Impact factor: 14

Publishing Invited ReviewsThe importance of lipids as one of the fundamental classes of biological compounds is well established. The application of our of the biochemistry, chemistry and physiology of lipids to biotechnology, the fats and oils industry and medicine have continued to expand apace. In addition new dimensions such as lipid biophysics, especially with relevance to membranes and lipoproteins, and basic liposome research and applications have been added. To cope with all these advances in knowledge a journal is needed to review recent progress in particular fields and to set current research against its historical background. Progress in Lipid Research fulfils this role.Each volume contains up-to-date surveys of special aspects of lipid research. The invited reviews are comprehensive enough to provide sufficient overview but concentrate on reporting and critically appraising the most recent data. Subjects are chosen for their timeliness or because major developments have taken place in the last few years. They include methodological reviews as well as chemical, biochemical and medical articles. All lipid compounds and derivatives are covered, ranging from fatty acids and other simple molecules, through steroids, terpenoids and phospho- or glycolipids to complex structures such as lipoproteins and biological membranes. We hope that those whose main interest is in lipid biophysics and liposome research will join as new readers, benefiting from the journal's classical aspects of lipid metabolism, lipids in signal transduction and lipid enzymology, and that current readers will benefit from the exposure to top quality research on the new aspects.PLR solely publishes review articles and submissions are by invitation only. If you have not been invited, but would like to have a review article considered, please send your proposal to the Editorial Office (Ms. Carly Middendorp at [email protected]), thereby indicating which editor has the most appropriate expertise to handle the manuscript.Proposals must include a short abstract, proposed table of contents/chapters, a representative figure (if relevant) and list of key references. If possible please supply a timeline for submission of your article. After assessment of the proposal by the Editors, we will let you know whether it is suitable for inclusion in the journal.Editors and their expertise:Makoto Arita: Polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)-derived mediators; LC-MS/MS-based lipidomics; role of lipid mediators in inflammation and tissue homeostatis; eosinophils; cyclooxygenases, lipoxygenases, and cytochrome P450 monooxygenases.Kent Chapman: Plant lipid metabolism; plant lipid signaling; membranes; oilseeds; lipid storage; compartmentalization; organelle biogenesis; lipid analysis.John Harwood: Metabolism and function of acyl lipids; n-3 polyunsatruated fatty acids; oil accumulation in crops; algal lipids; regulation of metabolism; lipids in disease.Gabor Tigyi: Lysophospholipids, lysophosphatidic acid, sphingosine-1-phosphate, lipid signaling, radiation biology, drug discovery.Markus Wenk: Structure, function and metabolism of membrane lipids; application of lipidomics in drug and biomarker development; role of lipid metabolism in neurobiology.

The Journal for Radiation Physics, Radiation Chemistry and Radiation Processing A multidisciplinary journal linking science and industryRadiation Physics and Chemistry is a multidisciplinary journal that provides a medium for publication of substantial and original papers, reviews, and short communications which focus on research and developments involving ionizing radiation in radiation physics, radiation chemistry and radiation processing.Radiation Physics and Chemistry aims to publish articles with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and contributions to science. We expect that articles present new insight or hypothesis testing, that they focus on radiation effects or applications of ionizing radiation, provide uncertainties and statistical analysis where relevant, and present their findings in context with discussion of past and recent literature. The editors reserve the right to reject, with or without external review, articles which do not meet these criteria. This could include articles which are very similar to previous publications, except that target substrates, materials, analyzed sites or experimental methods have been changed.A fuller though not exhaustive list of topics that are considered for publication include:Radiation PhysicsFundamental processes in radiation physics • Interaction mechanisms for example scattering and absorption of photon and particle radiations • Attenuation coefficients • X-ray fluorescence • Cherenkov effect • Polarization • Effects of periodic structures (Bragg diffraction, channelling, parametric x-radiation, etc) • Mathematical methods in radiation physics, reference dataRadiation sources and detectors • Accelerator and radionuclide spectra and other properties • Radiation fields from point and extended sources • Detector response functions • Basic physics of Dosimetry • Radiation transport • Buildup factorsRadiation Chemistry• Ionizing radiation induced ionic and radical reactions • Kinetics and mechanism of radiolysis reactions • Pulse radiolysis technique and measurements • Nanoparticle production by ionizing radiation • Radiation induced chain reactions, polymerization • Irradiation effects on polymers • Dose and dose rate effects • LET effects on chemical reactions • Pollutant removal by ionizing radiation • Computational models on radiation chemical reactionsPapers on photochemistry, microwave chemistry and thermochemistry are believed to belong to the scope of RPC only if they have strong relevance to radiation chemistry. EPR papers will only be considered for publication when the method is used for clarifying radiation chemical processes, e.g. by determining the nature of the transient intermediates. Radiochemistry papers such as tracer technique, radon or other radionuclide measurements, isotopic constitutions fall outside the scope of the journal.Radiation ProcessingRadiation Sterilization • Microbiology • Toxicology • Biocompatibility • ValidationFood irradiation • Microbiological quality • Chemical effects • Nutrition • Detection induced radioactivityPolymers • Synthesis • Polymerization • Curing • Grafting • Crosslinking • Degradation • CompositesEnvironmental • Effluent gas • Waste water • Water purification • Toxin reduction • Sludge • Recycling of wastesRadiation effects • Semiconductors • Gemstones • Crystals • CeramicsDosimetry and process control • Dosimeter systems • Analytical instrumentation • Environmental influence • Measurement uncertaintyRadiation sources and facilities for radiation processing • Electron Accelerators • Gamma and x-ray facilities • Safety issues • Transport of radioisotopes
