Journals in Agricultural and biological sciences
The Agricultural and Biological Sciences collection advances science-based knowledge for the improvement of animal and plant life and for secure food systems that produce nutritious, novel, sustainable foods with minimal environmental impact. Food Science titles include not only those products from agriculture but all other aspects from food production to nutrition, health and safety, chemistry to security, policy, law and regulation. Biological Sciences address animal behaviour and biodiversity, organismal and evolutionary biology, entomology, marine biology and aquaculture, plant science and forestry.
Fish & Shellfish Immunology
The official journal of the International Society of Fish and Shellfish Immunology (ISFSI)Fish and Shellfish Immunology rapidly publishes high-quality, peer-refereed contributions in the expanding fields of fish and shellfish immunology. It presents studies on the basic mechanisms of both the specific and non-specific defense systems, the cells, tissues, and humoral factors involved, their dependence on environmental and intrinsic factors, response to pathogens, response to vaccination, and applied studies on the development of specific vaccines for use in the aquaculture industry.Database coverage includes Biological Abstracts (BIOSIS); Current Contents; SciSearch and Research Alert. Science Citation Index and Focus on: Veterinary Science and Medicine.Fish and Shellfish Immunology is the companion title to the open access journal Comparative Immunology Reports.- ISSN: 1050-4648
Journal of Equine Veterinary Science
An Official Publication of the Equine Science Society and the Official Journal of the International Symposium on Equine ReproductionJournal of Equine Veterinary Science (JEVS) is an international publication designed for the practicing equine veterinarian, equine researcher, and other equine health care experts. Published monthly, each issue of JEVS includes original research, reviews, case reports/series and short communications, covering such topics as reproduction, infectious disease, parasitology, behavior, internal medicine, surgery, podiatry, nutrition and exercise physiology. JEVS is also an official publication of the Equine Science Society and of the International Symposium on Equine Reproduction.- ISSN: 0737-0806
Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology
An International Journal of Comparative ImmunologyThe journal reports basic, comparative and clinical immunology as they pertain to the animal species designated here: livestock, poultry, and fish species that are major food animals and companion animals such as cats, dogs, horses and camels, and wildlife species that act as reservoirs for food, companion or human infectious diseases, or as models for human disease.Rodent models of infectious diseases that are of importance in the animal species indicated above,when the disease requires a level of containment that is not readily available for larger animal experimentation (ABSL3), will be considered. Papers on rabbits, lizards, guinea pigs, badgers, armadillos, elephants, antelope, and buffalo will be reviewed if the research advances our fundamental understanding of immunology, or if they act as a reservoir of infectious disease for the primary animal species designated above, or for humans. Manuscripts employing other species will be reviewed if justified as fitting into the categories above.The following topics are appropriate: biology of cells and mechanisms of the immune system, immunochemistry, immunodeficiencies, immunodiagnosis, immunogenetics, immunopathology, immunology of infectious disease and tumors, immunoprophylaxis including vaccine development and delivery, immunological aspects of pregnancy including passive immunity, autoimmuity, neuroimmunology, and transplanatation immunology. Manuscripts that describe new genes and development of tools such as monoclonal antibodies are also of interest when part of a larger biological study. Studies employing extracts or constituents (plant extracts, feed additives or microbiome) must be sufficiently defined to be reproduced in other laboratories and also provide evidence for possible mechanisms and not simply show an effect on the immune system.Ideas and suggestions for Special Issues are also welcome. These may focus on a planned conference/symposium for which a selection of the best papers could be published together (after peer review). Alternatively, they could consist of a group of invited papers which together present an up-to-date overview on an important immunological topic.- ISSN: 0165-2427
Plant Physiology and Biochemistry
Integrating molecular, cellular, and organismal plant biologyPlant Physiology and Biochemistry publishes original theoretical, experimental and technical contributions in the various fields of plant physiology (biochemistry, physiology, structure, genetics, plant-microbe interactions, etc.) at diverse levels of integration (molecular, subcellular, cellular, organ, whole plant, environmental). Opinions expressed in the journal are the sole responsibility of the authors and publication does not imply the agreement.Manuscript... describing molecular-genetic and/or gene expression data that are not integrated with biochemical analysis and/or actual measurements of plant physiological processes are not suitable for PPB. Also "Omics" studies (transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, etc.) reporting descriptive analysis without an element of functional validation assays of investigated genes (DEGs), will not be considered. Similarly, applied agronomic or phytochemical studies that generate no new, fundamental insights in plant physiological and/or biochemical processes are not suitable for publication in PPB. Plant Physiology and Biochemistry publishes several types of articles: Reviews, Papers and Short Papers. Authors interested in writing a review article should contact one of the review editors in advance by submitting a summary of the intended manuscript. The editor may then send an official letter of invitation with further instructions. Reviews should not exceed 40 typewritten pages and Short Papers no more than approximately 8 typewritten pages. The fundamental character of Plant Physiology and Biochemistry remains that of a journal for original results.- ISSN: 0981-9428
Journal of Food Composition and Analysis
The Journal of Food Composition and Analysis publishes high-quality research on the chemical composition, analytical methodologies, and data management of human foods. It welcomes original research, reviews, and methodological papers that contribute to the development, validation, and application of food composition data.Research areas include:- New methods for the chemical analysis of food, including advances in analytical techniques, instrumentation, and validation procedures to accurately determine food components.- Nutrient, bioactive non-nutrient, and anti-nutrient components in food, focusing on the identification, quantification, and characterization of these components.- Flavor and taste components in food, including the analysis of volatile and non-volatile compounds that contribute to sensory properties and consumer acceptance.- Food composition database development, management, and utilization, encompassing data collection, standardization, quality assurance, and applications in research and industry.The journal does not consider papers that primarily focus on:Microbiological, or antimicrobial assays.Sensory analysis, organoleptic characteristics, or physical and technological properties and engineering aspects of foods unrelated to composition.Food formulated in the laboratory, kitchen or pilot plant. Clinical, pharmacological, or therapeutic studies.Natural medicines or herbal extracts, nutraceuticals, and supplements.Food waste materials or by-products.Meta-ana... and systematic reviews.Non-targeted metabolomics studies lacking quantitative analytical data.Emerging food processing technologies lacking quantitative analytical data.Consumer sciences.Development of analytical methods to detect food microbes.Non-specifi... colorimetric assays, such as in-vitro antioxidant assays, total phenolic content and total flavonoid content.Please also note the following additional requirements when preparing your paper: Newly developed analytical methods must be validated, with performance metrics (LOD, LOQ, analysis time, etc.) compared to existing methods, ideally in a table within the discussion.New methods should be validated against reference techniques like LC–MS.Food sample sizes should be large enough to be representative; analysing only one sample per food type is insufficient.Tentati... GC-MS identifications require confirmation with reference standards, especially for key compounds. Ion mobility spectrometry is not an acceptable means of identification.Calcu... of odor activity values (OAVs) based on semi-quantitative headspace data are not valid.The journal no longer publishes papers where the chemical, sensory, functional and/or health-promoting properties of individual food components (or groups of components) are the main topic studied.- ISSN: 0889-1575
Microbes and Infection
As of the end of 2025, Elsevier will no longer publish the journal on behalf of the Institut Pasteur. We would like to express our sincere thanks to the authors, referees, and editors who contributed to the journal over past years. Published papers will remain available on ScienceDirect.A Journal on Infectious Agents and Host Defenses A publication of the Institut PasteurMicrobes and Infection publishes 8 peer-reviewed issues per year in all fields of infection and immunity, covering the different levels of host-microbe interactions, and in particular:the molecular biology and cell biology of the crosstalk between hosts (human and model organisms) and microbes (viruses, bacteria, parasites and fungi), including molecular virulence and evasion mechanisms.the immune response to infection, including pathogenesis and host susceptibility.emerg... human infectious diseases.systems immunology.molecular epidemiology/genetic... of host pathogen interactions.microbi... and host "interactions".vacci... development, including novel strategies and adjuvants.Clinical studies, accounts of clinical trials and biomarker studies in infectious diseases, unless purely descriptive, are within the scope of the journal.Microbes and Infection publishes articles on human pathogens or pathogens of model systems. However, articles on other microbes can be published if they contribute to our understanding of basic mechanisms of host-pathogen interactions. Purely descriptive and preliminary studies are discouraged.Reviews of a major topic of current interest must be commissioned by a Microbes and Infection editor. Unsolicited contributions and presubmission enquiries will not be considered.Special issues focus on the present knowledge of a virulent microbe and the disease it causes, the immune response in infectious disease, or on critical issues relevant to the scope of the journal.- ISSN: 1286-4579
Cell
Cell publishes findings of unusual significance in any area of experimental biology, including but not limited to cell biology, molecular biology, neuroscience, immunology, virology and microbiology, cancer, human genetics, systems biology, signaling, and disease mechanisms and therapeutics. The basic criterion for considering papers is whether the results provide significant conceptual advances into, or raise provocative questions and hypotheses regarding, an interesting and important biological question. In addition to primary research articles in four formats, Cell features review and opinion articles on recent research advances and issues of interest to its broad readership in the leading edge section.Visit the Cell Press website for more information about Cell - http://www.cell.com/...- ISSN: 0092-8674
