Physics of Life Reviews

Physics of Life Reviews is an international journal appearing quarterly, that publishes review articles on physics of living systems, complex phenomena in biological systems, and related fields of artificial life, robotics, mathematical bio-semiotics, and artificial intelligent systems. This journal is a unifying force, going across the barriers between disciplines, addressing all living systems from molecules to populations and from genetics to mind and artificial systems modeling these phenomena. The journal invites reviews from actively working researchers, which are broad in scope, critical, accessible to our wide readership and addresses sometimes controversial accounts of recent progress and problems.Physics of Life Reviews intends to keep the active researcher abreast of developments on a wide range of topics by publishing timely reviews, which are more than mere literature surveys but normally less than a full monograph. Although most of the reviews will be of a specialist nature, each review should contain enough introductory material to make the main points intelligible to a non-specialist and to inspire and facilitate interdisciplinary research. "Physics" in the journal name refers to the methodology unifying all areas of physics: (1) elucidating fundamental principles, (2) developing a mathematical model, (3) making experimentally verifiable predictions. We seek reviews aspiring to this universal paradigm. The reviews should address in a clear way the most important conceptual issues in a field, review existing theories and methods with their achievements and drawbacks or difficulties versus the issues, unsolved problems addressed by a new theory, method, or approach, and why a significant progress is achieved or expected. Future research directions, remaining unsolved problems, and experimental confirmations or controversies should also be addressed.

Polymer Degradation and Stability

• ISSN: 0141-3910
• 5 Year impact factor: 5.9
• Impact factor: 6.3

Polymer Degradation and Stability publishes articles which enhance and develop our fundamental understanding of degradation reactions, their control or utilization for sustainability purposes including upcycling or recycling, and material performance optimization via polymer design. These are the major goals of practitioners of the many diverse aspects of modern polymer technology. In addition, PDST seeks comprehensive reviews and guiding opinions in this area of research and polymer applications. For high level impact, PDST focuses on the underlying polymer science and mechanistic understanding as the origin for material ageing, controlled depolymerization (or upcycling opportunities), and how to accomplish maximum performance or improved material lifetime predictions. Favored work for PDST should explain the correlation between the chemical structure and the resulting properties of polymers, paying particular attention to the chemical pathways that describe the decomposition phenomena, result in material weakness, or can be exploited to increase performance and/or reuse. Please note that PDST is not the journal of choice for material testing, screening studies of comparative performance evaluations, or the simple reporting of thermal decomposition observations.Deteriorative reactions occur during processing, when polymers are subjected to heat, oxygen and mechanical stress, and during the useful life of materials when oxygen and sunlight are the most important degradative initiators. In more specialized applications, degradation may be induced by high energy radiation, ozone, atmospheric pollutants, mechanical stress, biological action, hydrolysis and other influences including combined detrimental environments. The mechanisms of these reactions and stabilization processes must be understood if the technology and application of polymers are to continue to advance. Detailed investigations and in-depth novelty of this kind are therefore a major purpose of the PDST journal.In addition, there are also new developments in polymer technology in which degradation processes are positive for applications. For example, photodegradable plastics are now available, the recycling and upcycling of polymeric products will become increasingly important, degradation and combustion studies are involved in the definition of fire hazards associated with polymeric materials and the microelectronics industry is vitally dependent upon polymer degradation in the manufacture of its circuitry. Another growing area are biobased polymers and how they compare with traditional materials in their degradation features. Polymer properties may also be improved by processes like curing and grafting, the chemistry of which can be closely related to that which causes physical deterioration in other circumstances. Further, the field of network polymers (thermosets) including bond exchange vitrimers or self-healing materials have often intriguing aspects of polymer degradation science embedded in their features. Radiation of various kinds is used to initiate many of these modern technological processes meaning that polymer photochemistry has gained new relevance, and therefore also finds a major place in this journal.The study of all these processes makes extensive use of modern instrumental analytical methods and the various spectrometric, chromatographic, thermal analysis, degradation rate and performance monitoring techniques have been particularly prominent. With the current advances in DFT and molecular modeling, leading all the way to macroscopic 'models' focused on kinetics or spatial dependency, ideally any efforts that consider PDST as a publication medium will clearly demonstrate the outstanding mechanistic questions and how modeling can assist to resolve these. The benefit of modeling should be shown through a clear connection to novelty in degradation pathways or explanations for complex mechanisms and should ultimately close the loop with guidance for new experimental work.Our efforts will bridge between polymer physics, chemistry and materials science coupled with suitable diagnostics. Yet this also means that PDST is not the journal of choice for mostly empirical comparisons of materials performance, engineering testing of material samples or composites, or easy observations of thermally induced pyrolysis, as every polymer will degrade under some conditions. Instead, PDST wishes to assist with the why and how, thereby offering a comprehensive understanding and meaning of polymer degradation processes for better materials or closing the loop towards reuse and sustainability with a reduced carbon footprint. There is clearly a strong linkage between investigations in the various parts of this field. Polymer Degradation and Stability is a selective journal that provides a forum for publications of guiding nature and novelty, broad understanding, and high-level impact in this field.

Progress in Lipid Research

• ISSN: 0163-7827
• 5 Year impact factor: 15.7
• Impact factor: 14

Publishing Invited ReviewsThe importance of lipids as one of the fundamental classes of biological compounds is well established. The application of our of the biochemistry, chemistry and physiology of lipids to biotechnology, the fats and oils industry and medicine have continued to expand apace. In addition new dimensions such as lipid biophysics, especially with relevance to membranes and lipoproteins, and basic liposome research and applications have been added. To cope with all these advances in knowledge a journal is needed to review recent progress in particular fields and to set current research against its historical background. Progress in Lipid Research fulfils this role.Each volume contains up-to-date surveys of special aspects of lipid research. The invited reviews are comprehensive enough to provide sufficient overview but concentrate on reporting and critically appraising the most recent data. Subjects are chosen for their timeliness or because major developments have taken place in the last few years. They include methodological reviews as well as chemical, biochemical and medical articles. All lipid compounds and derivatives are covered, ranging from fatty acids and other simple molecules, through steroids, terpenoids and phospho- or glycolipids to complex structures such as lipoproteins and biological membranes. We hope that those whose main interest is in lipid biophysics and liposome research will join as new readers, benefiting from the journal's classical aspects of lipid metabolism, lipids in signal transduction and lipid enzymology, and that current readers will benefit from the exposure to top quality research on the new aspects.PLR solely publishes review articles and submissions are by invitation only.

Talanta

• ISSN: 0039-9140
• 5 Year impact factor: 5
• Impact factor: 5.6

The International Journal of Pure and Applied Analytical ChemistryTalanta provides a forum for the publication of original research papers, short communications, and critical reviews in all branches of pure and applied analytical chemistry. Papers are evaluated based on established guidelines, including the fundamental nature of the study, scientific novelty, substantial improvement or advantage over existing technology or methods, and demonstrated analytical applicability. Original research papers on fundamental studies, and on novel sensor and instrumentation developments, are encouraged. Novel or improved applications in areas such as clinical and biological chemistry, environmental analysis, geochemistry, materials science and engineering, and analytical platforms for omics development are welcome.Analytical performance of methods should be determined, including interference and matrix effects, and methods should be validated by comparison with a standard method, or analysis of a certified reference material. Simple spiking recoveries may not be sufficient. The developed method should especially comprise information on selectivity, sensitivity, detection limits, accuracy, and reliability. However, applying official validation or robustness studies to a routine method or technique does not necessarily constitute novelty. Proper statistical treatment of the data should be provided. Relevant literature should be cited, including related publications by the authors, and authors should discuss how their proposed methodology compares with previously reported methods.Talanta is the companion title to the open access journal Talanta Open.The name Talanta derives from the Greek word ταλαντα, used by Homer to mean a pair of scales. Such a balance was used for measuring talents or gold coins. See Talanta, 35(5)(1988)I-V for details. The symbol for the journal is a Greek balance taken from one of the Hope Vases.
