The main areas of interest include the innervation of blood vessels and viscera, autonomic ganglia, efferent and afferent autonomic pathways, and autonomic nuclei and pathways in the central nervous system.The Editors will consider papers that deal with any aspect of the autonomic nervous system, including structure, physiology, pharmacology, biochemistry, development, evolution, ageing, behavioural aspects, integrative role and influence on emotional and physical states of the body. Interdisciplinary studies will be encouraged. Studies dealing with human pathology will be also welcome.The journal publishes Special Issues in which leading experts are invited to serve as Guest Editors to compile a collection of reviews, and occasionally original articles, around a particular topical theme in neuroscience research. The list of recent Special Issues can be found here. Suggestions for Special Issues can be made directly to the Editor-in-Chief.
At present, the article publishing charge (APC) of the journal is covered by the sponsors, so authors do not need to pay an APC for articles accepted for publication in Avian Research.The contents of Volumes 5-12 of Avian Research published with BMC can be found here. (https://avianres.biomedcentral.com/articles) The journal was previously published under the title Chinese Birds (Volumes 1-4), and the contents can be found here.

Although the journal publishes other types like correspondences and short notes at times, direct submission of such types of manuscript is not advised.The rigorous peer-review helps raise the academic level of the journal and has led the journal being indexed in such databases as SCIE (Science Citation Index Expanded), Scopus, DOAJ, Zoological Record, and CSCD (Chinese Science Citation Database).As an open access journal, Avian Research benefits authors from publishing high quality contents on ScienceDirect that will be internationally accessible at no cost, quality peer-review, easy online submission and fast publication upon acceptance.Editorial Board
BBA Clinical is an open access biomedical journal dedicated to human research. It brings together clinical and biochemical human studies, providing a new venue for researchers using observational studies and clinical trials to understand the molecular and biochemical processes involved in human disease.All articles in BBA Clinical should describe, in part or entirely, studies using human patient samples or human cohorts. Manuscripts should emphasize the implications that biochemical mechanisms have for the observed clinical findings, and focus on describing how the data contribute to understanding and treatment of the clinical condition. Highly descriptive and method-development submissions may be declined without review.Clinical areas of particular interest include aging, cancer, cardiovascular-, metabolic-, neurological-, and immunological-based diseases; the interactions that may occur among these diseases and conditions; and studies that examine early or pre-symptomatic states. Cross-sectional and prospective studies from well-established cohorts, and studies involving imaging methodologies, are particularly encouraged.Invited reviews and editorials, focused on cutting-edge aspects of clinical research, will appear on a regular basis to complement regular research articles. Unsolicited review articles will be considered only in exceptional cases, and should be preceded by a letter of enquiry from the author, outlining the proposed review and compelling reasons why the subject is timely and important.BBA Clinical is the clinical complement to BBA Molecular Basis of Disease, which focuses on the molecular and biochemical basis of such conditions in pre-clinical studies, such as cell culture and animal models.
