Journal of Biomedical Informatics
Endorsed by the American Medical Informatics AssociationThe Journal of Biomedical Informatics (JBI) is the premier methodology journal in the field of biomedical informatics. JBI publishes research on new methodologies and techniques that have general applicability and form the basis for the evolving science of biomedical informatics. Papers should focus on a real-world biomedical or clinical problem, develop a novel approach to address the problem, and evaluate its appropriateness in comparison to the current state-of-the-art (SoA) methods. Involvement of healthcare professionals in motivating the work and evaluation of results is expected.Focus Areas and Topics of InterestJBI seeks to publish papers that make a conceptual contribution to the field, typically by describing an innovation in methodology or technique or by discussing substantive generalizable lessons that have been learned in the context of an informatics project. When a methodological contribution has a theoretical basis, that theory is an appropriate emphasis for papers as well. Research papers may also present a novel "method of methods" explaining how to apply the existing methods to a space of biomedical problems that share unique characteristics influencing the choice of methods.JBI publishes papers on a wide range of informatics topics. However, across these topics, papers must build on deep understanding and utilization of medical domain knowledge and should consider pragmatic translation for clinical care or applications. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) clinical decision support, patient safety, natural language processing, artificial intelligence and machine learning, knowledge representation for healthcare, translational bioinformatics, clinical research informatics, and clinical informatics. Additional considerations for papers in the areas of translational bioinformatics, machine learning, security and privacy are provided below. Irrespective of the topic, papers must focus on novel informatics methods and its comparison to the current approaches.Manuscrip... can be submitted in the following categories: original research, methodological review (by-invitation only), commentaries (usually by-invitation), special communication, letters to the editor, and editorials (by-invitation only); (see additional details on each of these categories below). Given the international readership of JBI, country-specific health systems or approaches will be considered only if they offer generalizable lessons that are relevant to the broader readership, regardless of their country, language, culture, or health system.Specific considerations for manuscripts in certain topical areas have also been provided in recent editorials.If you are considering an article with a focus on translational bioinformatics , please read this editorial. Biologic discoveries based on the use of routine informatics techniques may be important biologic contributions, but are not suitable for JBI. In addition, please note that JBI publishes bioinformatics papers only if they deal with issues in translational (human) science (e.g., translational bioinformatics papers).If you are considering an article describing a new machine learning approach, please read this editorial. Machine learning papers would be considered only if the methods that are introduced demonstrate substantial novelty and advancement beyond the current SoA and their evaluation is sound and includes an assessment of the potential of the method to be used in clinical practice. For example, submissions reporting publishing marginally SoA findings without an in-depth analysis or discussion of how the methods are potentially generalizable (or applicable in a wider setting) would not be considered. Novel and important clinical problems addressed by existing machine learning methods may warrant Special Communication papers if their discussion includes novel insights or lessons learned for future research in such domains.Authors considering an article on biomedical privacy and security, please read this editorial. To be considered, the privacy and security methods that are introduced should demonstrate substantial novelty and advancement beyond the SoA, should be specific to the biomedical informatics domain, and their practical application and/or likely real-world usefulness in the biomedical domain.Please note that papers related to signal processing, imaging, medical devices, or communication networks are outside the scope of the journal unless they combine knowledge-intensive approaches involving ontologies.Please also consult the editorial that explains where to direct Artificial Intelligence in Medicine-related manuscripts for peer review and possible publication, considering the different scope of the three Elsevier medical informatics journals: JBI, Artificial Intelligence in Medicine, and Intelligence-based Medicine.- ISSN: 1532-0464

In addition, they provide short annotations to the papers that they consider to be most interesting from all those published in their topic over the 5 years. Original research papers and systematic reviews will not be considered. These can be submitted to the companion journal Current Research in Toxicology.Editorial Overview For invitation only sections, Section Editors write a short overview at the beginning of the section, to introduce the reviews and to draw the reader's attention to any particularly interesting developments.Ethics in Publishing: General Statement The Editors and the Publisher of this journal believe that there are fundamental principles underlying scholarly and professional publishing. While this may not amount to a formal 'code of conduct', these fundamental principles with respect to the authors' paper, are that the paper should: i) be the authors' own original work, which has not been previously published elsewhere, ii) reflect the authors' own research and analysis and do so in a truthful and complete manner, iii) properly credit the meaningful contributions of co-authors and co-researchers, iv) not be submitted to more than one journal for consideration, and v) be appropriately placed in the context of prior and existing research. Of equal importance are ethical guidelines dealing with research methods and research funding, including issues dealing with informed consent, research subject privacy rights, conflicts of interest, and sources of funding. While it may not be possible to draft a 'code' that applies adequately to all instances and circumstances, we believe it useful to outline our expectations of authors and procedures that the journal will employ in the event of questions concerning author conduct. With respect to conflicts of interest, the Publisher now requires authors to declare any conflicts of interest that relate to papers accepted for publication in this journal. A conflict of interest may exist when an author or the author's institution has a financial or other relationship with other people or organizations that may inappropriately influence the author's work. A conflict can be actual or potential and full disclosure to the journal is the safest course. All submissions to the journal must include disclosure of all relationships that could be viewed as presenting a potential conflict of interest. The journal may use such information as a basis for editorial decisions and may publish such disclosures, if they are believed to be important to readers in judging the manuscript. A decision may be made by the journal not to publish on the basis of the declared conflict.For more information, please refer to: https://www.elsevier...- ISSN: 2468-2020
Trends in Pharmacological Sciences
Trends in Pharmacological Sciences (TIPS) is a monthly peer-reviewed reviews journal that publishes reviews and opinions in fields broadly covering pharmacology, pharmacy, pharmaceutics and toxicology. Launched in 1979, every issue of TIPS contains succinct articles on the most exciting recent developments in pharmacology and therapeutics research.

Structure
Structure aims to publish papers of exceptional interest in the field of structural biology. The journal strives to be essential reading for structural biologists, as well as biologists and biochemists that are interested in macromolecular structure and function. Structure strongly encourages the submission of manuscripts that present structural and molecular insights into biological function and mechanism. Other reports that address fundamental questions in structural biology, such as structure-based examinations of protein evolution, folding, and/or design, will also be considered. We will consider the application of any method, experimental or computational, at high or low resolution, to conduct structural investigations, as long as the method is appropriate for the biological, functional, and mechanistic question(s) being addressed. Likewise, reports describing single-molecule analysis of biological mechanisms are welcome.In general, the editors encourage submission of experimental structural studies that are enriched by an analysis of structure-activity relationships and will not consider studies that solely report structural information unless the structure or analysis is of exceptional and broad interest. Studies reporting only homology models, de novo models, or molecular dynamics simulations are also discouraged unless the models are informed by or validated by novel experimental data; rationalization of a large body of existing experimental evidence and making testable predictions based on a model or simulation is often not considered sufficient.- ISSN: 0969-2126

Developmental Cell
Developmental Cell, launched in 2001, is a broad-interest journal covering the areas of cell biology and developmental biology. In addition to publishing work spanning all areas of cell biology and developmental biology, we have particular interest in how these fields interface with each other and with other disciplines in biology. The journal aims to showcase work that examines, through a cell biological lens, the fundamentals of how a cell works, how cells interact with one another and with the environment, how cells come together to form a tissue, organ, and ultimately a whole organism, and what happens when any of these processes go awry.Our PhD-trained scientific editors work with authors, reviewers, and editorial board members to publish 12 issues each year, filled with exciting research describing results of unusual significance. We also publish review and perspective articles tailored to the journal’s broad readership. With this wide coverage, Developmental Cell is a unique cross-disciplinary resource for researchers in cell biology and developmental biology and for the general scientific community.Developmental Cell will consider papers in any area of cell biology or developmental biology, as well as at the interface either of these fields make to any other areas in biology. Examples of these include signaling, cell proliferation, polarity, cell migration, cell lineage and fate specification, chromatin regulation and function, cancer cell biology, evo-devo, disease etiology, membrane traffic, metabolic regulation, morphogenesis and biomechanics, organ development, ncRNAs, stem cell biology, and regeneration. We are also interested in studies building on large datasets or developing new tools that could be good fits for our Resource or Technology formats. The primary criterion for publication in Developmental Cell, as for all Cell Press journals, is new biological insight. We are happy to consider any study that leads to important new conclusions about biological function.- ISSN: 1534-5807

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
Trends in Biotechnology
Trends in Biotechnology is a monthly journal that publishes innovative applications of biology as useful technologies. Our articles should describe biobased solutions to important problems and should emphasize how to engineer or adapt living systems for societal benefit. Specific application areas include human health and well-being, renewable energy, food and agriculture, natural resources, and production of bulk and fine chemicals. A Trends in Biotechnology article should not merely summarize lab-scale research; it should think carefully about implementation, scale-up, and “real world” implications. A key consideration is how to translate or commercialize experimental applied biology to products, industrial platforms, therapies, or devices.Scientific areas of interest include but are not limited to the following:Synthetic biologyGenome editingTissue engineering and biofabricationMetabo... engineeringCellular and microbial engineeringPlant trait improvement and agricultural engineeringBiomanufa... and bioelectronicsBiofue... bioenergy, microbial fuel cellsCellular agriculture and alternative nutrients/proteinsTr... in Biotechnology publishes review articles, opinions, research articles, and reports (or short research articles) on these topics. We also welcome shorter commentary articles on law and intellectual property, policy and regulation, bioethics, scientific communication, and the economics of biotechnology. Additionally, we consider resource articles describing novel approaches for developing biobased technologies. Trends in Biotechnology has a diverse audience that reflects its intentionally broad scope. Our readers include biologists, engineers, chemists, pharmacologists, computer scientists, and physicians, and they work in academic, clinical, industrial, NGO, and governmental settings. Therefore, we emphasize accessible articles that are easy to read, and we encourage authors to keep in mind that many readers may not be familiar with their field's specific terminology.- ISSN: 0167-7799

Introduction should identify, clearly, the new science or novel contribution to knowledge in the work, and how it differs from previous studies in the field. FBP has a strong engineering focus and the Discussion should indicate how the findings can be applied to other, related but different systems. Papers that are not likely to be published are those:That use experimental design techniques to obtain response surfaces but gain little insight from them, and do not compare results to established mechanistic models; Demonstrating the application of existing methods to particular materials without providing new insights or quantitative models that would allow the findings to be applied to other materials without extensive experimentation; That are empirical and ignore established mechanistic models, e.g., empirical drying curves; Concerning the extraction, encapsulation and/or antioxidant activity of a specific food or biological material without providing insight that could be applied to a similar but different material; Containing only chemical analyses of biological materials or foodstuffs; Primarily concerned with food formulation; That are primarily concerned about sensory evaluation and colourArtificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML)Studies employing AI/ML should clearly serve the above Aims and Scope.Examples of topics within AI/ML that are likely to be considered for publication include studies showcasing, for the first time, how feedstock and system properties and features (and their elucidation) can effectively serve process design, towards pursuing efficiency in the food, drink and bioproduct/biomanufa... sectors.Topics that are unlikely to be published include:Peripheral characterisation of size and morphology (e.g. via computer vision, feature extraction, pattern recognition) that does not address the stated goals.Feedstock and product attributes (and their approximation via AI/ML-based prediction). These are a means to an end, and must be explicitly shown to contribute (via theoretical, modelling, experimental, or combined studies) towards advancing the understanding and practice of food and bioproducts processing, under both substance and systems complexity.- ISSN: 0960-3085

Cell Stem Cell
Cell Stem Cell publishes bold advances in stem cell science, in vitro tissue modeling, the integration of biomaterials with living systems, and regenerative medicine. Founded in 2007 at the dawn of the human iPS era, our north star is the power of stem cell technologies to understand and improve human health. Rather than focusing on the cell biology and mechanisms of stem and progenitor cells, we prioritize studies that ground their findings in human biology, disease insights and physiological relevance, and that robustly characterize the function of novel stem cell derivatives and engineered tissues. We also look for work that establishes data-rich resources for benchmarking in vitro tissue models and interrogating disease and repair processes, or develops tools and new applications for furthering innovation in cell and gene therapies. Topics of interest include the fundamental science of stem cells in driving disease, aging, regeneration, wound healing, and fibrosis. We are highly interested in improved complexity and fidelity of in vitro human tissue models and their applications in therapeutic development and screening using organoids and assembloids as well as engineered systems such as organ-chips and bioprinted tissues. New approach methodologies (NAMs), including computational approaches that integrate artificial intelligence are also of strong interest. We seek studies that integrate biomaterials to improve stem cell culture, tissue engineering, and graft survival and function in vivo. In our view, regenerative medicine is bigger than stem cells alone, and encompasses living therapies more broadly. We are interested in innovations in cell and gene therapies using stem cells, primary cells, or immunotherapies, as well as engineered cells used as drugs or as delivery tools, and the methodological work that moves these therapies towards patients. Discussing and debating the scientific, ethical, and regulatory issues associated with this work is essential for responsible research, clinical translation and earning public trust, and our reviews and commentaries are geared towards current and future directions in these topics.At Cell Stem Cell, our approach to peer review is collaborative and constructive. We cross-consult among our reviewers to arrive at clear editorial decisions and invite discussions with authors to build revision plans that are focused and feasible. In doing so, Cell Stem Cell seeks to act as a steward for this still young field to help make the promise of stem cells a reality.- ISSN: 1934-5909
