Journals in Life sciences general
Providing a broad overview of biological systems, ecology, evolution, and molecular biology, this selection supports researchers, educators, and students across life sciences. It features foundational concepts, recent advances, and interdisciplinary approaches that promote comprehensive understanding and innovative research in the biological sciences.
Cell Host & Microbe
Cell Host & Microbe was launched in March 2007. The journal's mission is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and concepts between scientists studying the microbe with those studying the host immune, cell biological, and molecular response upon colonization or infection by a microbe.Cell Host & Microbe will publish novel findings related to microbes (which includes bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses) from molecular and cellular biology to translational studies with particular emphasis on the interface between the microbe and its host (vertebrate, invertebrate, or plant; unicellular or multicellular). The unifying theme is the integrated study of microbes (pathogenic, non-pathogenic, and commensal) in conjunction and communication with each other, their host, and the cellular environment they inhabit. Work published in Cell Host & Microbe is expected not only to be of exceptional significance within its field, but also of interest to researchers outside the immediate area. In addition to primary research manuscripts, Cell Host & Microbe will publish expert analysis, commentary, and reviews on topics of current interest in the field.Topics covered include Molecular and cell biology of microbes, Microbial pathogenesis, Host cellular and immune response to microbes, Immune evasion, Therapeutics, Evolution, epidemiology, and natural history of microbes, Vaccine design, development and trials, Emerging pathogensVisit the Cell Press website for more information about Cell Host & Microbe http://www.cell.com/...- ISSN: 1931-3128
Cell Systems
Cell Systems was established in 2015 to provide a home at Cell Press for elegant work that addresses fundamental questions in systems biology. "Systems biology," as we broadly define it, is work that develops a rigorous understanding of any biological phenomenon where one plus one does not apparently equal two. Disciplines in the physical sciences have met this challenge for a long time, and we've found that our strongest papers tend to apply quantitative, inference-based approaches taken in physics, engineering, mathematics, and computer science to salient biological questions.We believe it's our responsibility to ensure that the next generation of scientists can begin their work on solid ground. Accordingly, we focus our review process on validity and scientific acuity, rather than more subjective feelings and opinions. We also believe that scientific transparency is of paramount importance. A study's structure and presentation should be candid and forthright (e.g. it should ensure fair comparisons; it should either use non-arbitrary cut-offs or clearly explained arbitrary cut-offs that do not affect outcomes; its data visualization choices should promote objective understanding; its limitations should not be obscured). Fundamentally good scientific practice also demands that studies be repeatable. We encourage authors to make their code and data FAIR, that is findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable, as defined by the NIH data commons. Although it is too early to formally require that all studies we publish be FAIR, we consider that requirement annually.As editors, we hold ourselves to the same standards of transparency but also recognize that living up to those standards requires constant effort. Like all journals, Cell Systems is a work in progress. A collection of editorials that document our thoughts and their evolution can be found here. We are always happy to talk to you.- ISSN: 2405-4712

Journal of Aging Studies
The Journal of Aging Studies features scholarly articles offering theoretically engaged interpretations that challenge existing theory and empirical work. Articles need not deal with the field of aging as a whole, but with any defensibly relevant topic pertinent to the aging experience and related to the broad concerns and subject matter of the social and behavioral sciences and the humanities. The journal emphasizes innovation and critique - new directions in general - regardless of theoretical or methodological orientation or academic discipline. Potential contributors are strongly advised to consult recent issues of the Journal for examples of articles that fit this mission.Further information for authors. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in both higher rates of submissions to JAS and much lower reviewer acceptance rates. In light of this, we ask two things of the community. First, patience with the longer lag time from submission to notification and reviewer comments. Second, if you submit a manuscript for consideration, then we hope you will do your part if asked to review for us in the future. Thank you for your understanding and help in ensuring the peer-review process continues as efficiently and robustly as possible in these trying times.- ISSN: 0890-4065
Geriatric Nursing
Geriatric Nursing is the official journal of American Assisted Living Nurses Association (AALNA) and Nurses Improving Care for Healthsystems Elders (NICHE).Geriatric Nursing is a comprehensive source for timely, evidence-based, and high-quality information related to the care of older adults. The journal’s peer reviewed articles report the latest research, education, clinical practices, and innovations that contribute to improving the health, well-being, and care of older adults across the care continuum.Geriatric Nursing addresses current research, education, clinical practice, and policy issues that contribute to optimizing healthy aging, achieving person-centered goals, improving the health and quality of life of older adults in all settings.
