Deep-Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers

ISSN: 0967-0637
5 Year impact factor: 2.6
Impact factor: 2.3

The journal is concerned with fundamental oceanography of the deep sea in the broadest sense. This includes, ocean physics including circulation, waves, turbulence, thermodynamics, optics, acoustics, mixing, or other process studies, atmosphere ocean coupling, primary production, organic carbon fluxes, chemistry, palaeoceanography, geophysics, sedimentology, all aspects of biology from microbes to marine mammals, physiology, ecology, biogeography, evolution, behaviour and anthropological impacts.The deep sea is interpreted to be the ocean beyond the continental shelf. Papers dealing exclusively with areas inshore of the shelf break are in general more appropriate to our companion journal Continental Shelf Research.Instruments and Methods papers can describe novel hardware, vehicles, research vessels, instrumentation, sensors (physical, chemical or biological), survey methods, analysis and calibration methods as well as software and novel data-analysis techniques but with the caveat of evidence of successful use in oceanography. We do not accept applied science/technology papers on deep-sea mining, drilling, bio-prospecting or management of fish stocks in which the aim is not oceanographic research. In biological papers, we welcome descriptions of new species but these should be in the context of advancing knowledge of ecology, evolution and biogeography in the deep sea; purely taxonomic papers should be submitted to a specialist journal.Deep-Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers, considers four types of paper: Research Papers: These should report results of original scientific research, including theoretical work of evident oceanographic applicability. To encourage full reporting of complex studies there is no formal length limit on research papers but editors and reviewers will discourage excessive verbosity and repetition.Instruments and Methods: These should report novel solutions of instrumental or methodological problems with evidence of successful use. There is no length limit.Short Communication: These can be reports of novel research or instruments and methods and should not contain more than 4,000 words and no more than 3 figures and 1 table.Reviews: The journal welcomes suggestions for reviews synthesising knowledge of any aspect of the deep sea. These reviews should be approximately 12,000 words in length and suggestions should be discussed with the Editors-in-Chief.Special Collections of papers: Proposals for special topic issues should be directed to our sister journal: Deep-Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography. However, this journal can publish collections of up to 5 papers that address a special topic that are insufficient to fill a whole journal volume. Proposals for special collections should be discussed with an Editor-in-Chief. The proponent of a special collection may be appointed as a Special Section Guest Editor. Papers can be submitted in any order and at any time and will be handled in the normal way by the guest editor or established editors. Each paper will be published on-line as soon as it is accepted. When the final paper in the collection is accepted then the entire collection will be assigned to a volume and authors may suggest a cover image. Papers in a collection should be numbered consecutively with a short main title and more extensive subtitle. E.g. Ocean carbon fluxes 1: xxxxxxx, Ocean fluxes 2: yyyyyyyyyy. Each paper in the collection should be a self-standing and can be a Research Paper, Instruments and methods paper, Short Communication or Review. Guest editors may add an editorial introducing the section.For all papers, supplemental matter, such as extensive data tables or graphs and multimedia content, may be published as electronic appendices. Deposition of data, gene sequences and type specimens:This journal encourages sharing of data (see section on research data below) and recommends that data be placed in appropriate repositories or included in the supplemental matter submitted with the paper. New gene sequences should be deposited in the DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank database. Type specimens should be deposited in the appropriate national or international public museum or collection. Accession numbers of gene sequences and type specimens must be included in the final version of the manuscript and cannot be added at the proof stage.

Deep-Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography

ISSN: 0967-0645
5 Year impact factor: 2.7
Impact factor: 2.3

Deep-Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography publishes topical issues from the many international and interdisciplinary projects which are undertaken in oceanography. Besides these special issues from projects, the journal publishes collections of papers presented at conferences. The special issues regularly have electronic annexes of non-text material (numerical data, images, images, video, etc.) which are published with the special issues in ScienceDirect. Deep-Sea Research Part II was split off as a separate journal devoted to topical issues in 1993. Its companion journal Deep-Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers, publishes the regular research papers in this area.AUTHORS PLEASE NOTE: the Editors cannot accept submissions that are not linked to a thematic issue. Please do not submit unsolicited papers.

Developmental Cell

ISSN: 1534-5807
5 Year impact factor: 11.5
Impact factor: 10.7

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 24 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.Access to all articles published in Developmental Cell is free from 12 months after publication.Visit the Cell Press website for more information about Developmental Cell - http://www.cell.com/developmental-cell/home

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.com/conflictsofinterestSubmission to Drug Discovery Today is by invitation only. If you are interested in submitting an article please first send us a proposal with a brief description of the main theme of the article (approx. 100 - 200 words), listing the article type and if possible some key references.
