Brain Research
Brain Research is dedicated to publishing the highest quality and greatest impact articles within the ever-evolving field of Neuroscience. We recognize how technology has changed the way scientific breakthroughs are communicated and Brain Research is committed to serving as a dynamic journal meeting the needs of the neuroscience research community. We now offer multiple formats for scientists to share their work with the community. These include Short Reports, Technology Developments, and Commentaries, in addition to standard research articles and reviews that the journal has published in its storied 50-year history.Brain Research is a broad-format journal accepting manuscripts from across the international neuroscience community that range in scope from issues in fundamental neurobiology to translational and clinical neuroscience, there are contemporary themes within neuroscience that our Editorial Board has identified that are of particular innovation and interest because of their innovation and importance, highlighted below. The journal is further committed to studies that investigate sex-differences as a powerful cross-cutting variable within these high-interest areas.

Publishing your research as a Registered Report will reduce the chances of publication bias, provide an opportunity for receiving early feedback on your study design, allow you to stake an early claim on your research hypothesis and align with the increasing demand for greater transparency and reproducibility.Subm... outside of the scope: Brain Research does not publish case reports, bibliometric analyses, or papers that use Mendelian Randomization as its only technique. If using Mendelian Randomization, the research needs to be hypothesis-driven and provide substantive insights into neural function, structure, disease mechanisms, or behavior.- ISSN: 0006-8993

This may include preclinical, clinical, service system and policy development research relevant to psychiatry and will highlight the socio-cultural diversity of the region as it pertains to mental health.The Asian Journal of Psychiatry publishes peer reviewed original research articles; review articles; commentaries on significant articles; synopses of current research highlights from Asia; and letters to the editor.Submit your vital research today!Follow us at X @PsychiatryAsian.- ISSN: 1876-2018
The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation
The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation (JHLT), the official publication of the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation, brings readers cutting-edge clinical, basic, and translational science in the fields of advanced heart and lung disease, cardio-pulmonary transplantation, mechanical and biological support of the failing heart, pulmonary vascular disease (pulmonary arterial hypertension and CTEPH), extracorporeal support of donor organs, and cell replacement therapy.- ISSN: 1053-2498
Sleep Medicine Reviews
Sleep Medicine Reviews provides in-depth and up-to-date clinical reviews of sleep disorders, their aetiology, diagnosis, treatment and implications for related conditions at an individual and public health level.Articles review the clinical information published in peer-reviewed journals devoted to the many disciplines involved in sleep medicine, including: pulmonology, psychiatry, psychology, physiology, otolaryngology, paediatrics, geriatrics, cardiology, dentistry, nursing, neurology and general medicine. The journal publishes narrative reviews, systematic reviews and editorials covering area of controversy and debate, as well as areas of future research.- ISSN: 1087-0792
Toxicology
Affiliated with the German Toxicology SocietyToxicology as a multidisciplinary, data-rich field has witnessed the availability of a cutting-edge technologies to investigate mechanisms underlying adverse consequences of exposures to xenobiotic chemicals, particularly as it relates to human health. Toxicology fully embraces these advancements by serving as a hub for exchange of information regarding state-of-the-art developments in the broad field of contemporary toxicology. Journal scope emphasis is on human-relevant and mechanistic research at all levels of biological organization, ranging from the molecular scale to the organismal level. The publication priority for Toxicology is on original high-quality research and review papers on any topic relevant to toxicology, in particular related to hazard identification, all that are subject to rigorous peer-review. The Toxicology target audience includes undergraduates to full professionals in academic, industrial and regulatory settings in any part of the world.Notes from the EditorsIn order to support interpretation of published findings to human health, the journal requires inclusion of specific statements within the ABSTRACT and METHODS sections of each submitted article:ABSTRACT:The experimental system (e.g., in vivo species, cell culture, etc.) including the exposure dose or concentration and duration that produces an effect, if an effect is observed, must be described in the ABSTRACT to the manuscript.MATERIALS AND METHODS:The relevance of the experimental system and exposure dose or concentration and duration in terms of potential human exposures must be described in the Materials and Methods section of the manuscript. Justification of the exposure cannot be based solely on previous publications, but rather the comparison must be to either estimated, anticipated, or measured human exposures.The authors must identify the chemicals by CAS number, their source and purity; the method of randomization for group sampling, the number of experimental sample replicates in each treatment group, and provide a proper description of the statistical analysis of data that was employed.Journal Policy:TOXICOLOGY does not publish results from exposures to uncharacterized chemical mixtures or extracts from natural products. All exposures must be fully characterized analytically. Justification for this policy is that it is near impossible for other investigators to replicate findings of a study wherein the chemical composition of the exposure is not completely characterized.TOXICO... does not publish purely descriptive safety studies or studies describing the therapeutic efficacy of cytotoxic agents without strong emphasis on end-points relating to a proposed mechanism of toxicity.- ISSN: 0300-483X
