Biofilm is a multidisciplinary, gold open access journal focused on hypothesis- or discovery-driven studies on microbial biofilms (i.e. multicellular communities, including surface-attached biofilms and suspended aggregates). The journal will cover biofilms in all (micro)environments, including clinical and industrial settings and the natural environment. We accept articles that describe the basic biology of single or mixed-species biofilms (irrespective of the organism), manuscripts dealing with applied/translational aspects of biofilms, as well as manuscripts describing innovative biofilm methods. Biofilm aims to bring together different disciplines to significantly advance the knowledge of microbial communities, and encourages exploring the interfaces between these disciplines.

The Official Scientific Journal of EUROSPINE and EANSBrain and Spine, the official scientific journal of the Spine Society of Europe (EUROSPINE) and European Association of Neurosurgical Societies (EANS), is a peer reviewed open access journal for scientific manuscripts concerned with pathophysiology, diagnostics, prevention, surgical and non-surgical interventions for structural pathological-anatomical alterations of the nervous system and axial skeleton.Brain and Spine accepts high quality papers from a wide variety of research areas, such as basic science at a molecular level, translational research and clinical epidemiology through to population health at a societal level. More specifically, the journal publishes papers that emphasize the fast growing biomedical fields of genomics, molecular sciences, biomechanical engineering, computer navigation and 3-D reconstruction techniques, experimental clinical research, as well as papers from the growing public health fields of clinical epidemiology, medical decision analysis, psychology, bio-ethics and prediction modelling at a population level.Although both scientific societies have a European origin, the journal's Editorial Team consists of experts from across the globe, with acclaimed knowledge in structural diseases of the nervous system and axial skeleton.In the biomedical arena of structural brain and spinal disorders Brain and Spine offers authors of all disciplines with brain and spine specialization, the possibility to submit manuscripts, describing original scientific studies, systematic reviews and "rare" case illustrations with the goal to add value to brain and spine patients care in near future.

First Nations* Health and Wellbeing - The Lowitja Journal is the official journal of the Lowitja Institute, Australia's first community-controlled research institute. It is a community-controlled, international, community member, inter- and multi-disciplinary peer-reviewed open access journal that is dedicated to expanding access to First Nations research and improve the health and wellbeing of First Nations communities around the world. We focus on primary research papers, systematic reviews, and informed short reports and community contributions on all aspects of the science, culture, philosophy and practice regarding health and wellbeing for First Nations communities.All papers must include substantive contributions of First Nations authors and will be peer reviewed by experts in the field of the submitted work. While we are based in Australia and governed by the Australian National Indigenous Health Leadership Alliance, our Editorial Board is international and we welcome papers from First Nations researchers from all over the world, reflecting our global perspective and reach.We recognise that structured knowledge systems of First Nations Peoples, developed over millennia to underpin thriving and healthy communities, offer solutions to the survival and flourishing of our people. Despite targeted settler-colonial policies and practices to dismantle control or eliminate First Nations knowledge, leaving a legacy of entrenched disadvantage and health inequities, we are resisting colonisation. The resurgence of First Nations knowledge of health and wellbeing is best placed in journals that are led by, and determined by First Nations Peoples and their communities.Specific topic areas include: social and cultural determinants of health, medicine, epidemiology, medical anthropology and sociology, medical history, Indigenous data governance, healthcare delivery, evaluation of programs, maternal and child health, diseases and infections, Closing the Gap and policy directions in health, poverty, racism, disabilities, LGBTQI+, Two Spirit, Takatãpui; climate change, decolonisation, capacity building and training, addictions, alcohol and substance abuse, suicide and self-harm, intimate-partner violence, sexual violence, child protection issues and stolen generations. This is not an exhaustive list, and the editors will consider articles on any issue relating to First Nations wellbeing.Our readers include community members, academics, educators, practitioners/clinicians, policy-makers, decision-makers and researchers with an interest in the health and wellbeing of First Nations communities.*We use the term ‘First Nations’ to refer to any Indigenous or ‘First People's’ inhabiting or existing in a land from the earliest of times or before the arrival of colonists. This was chosen by consensus of the representative Australian National Indigenous Health Leadership Alliance Board, and is used with the deepest respect for the autonomy and diversity of nations represented within this broadly inclusive term.

If this journal is a good fit for your invention, design or software, you can find out more via the Guide for Authors and are invited to submit your manuscript using the relevant Invention Disclosure template:Software based solution templateAll other inventions templateInvention Disclosure is an open access journal that provides an outlet for inventors, researchers, and technology transfer professionals to easily share and advertise (patentable) inventions and software based solutions.The journal aims to publish articles that:Thoroughly but in easy wording describe the invention and its intended use or application potentialMake inventions easier to find by potential investors, collaborators, licensing experts, opening up doors for new collaborationsIncrease traffic towards associated research articles and data, leading to more citationsBridge the gap between the scientific discovery process and the commercialisation of research.Invention Disclosure welcomes submissions that disclose inventions and software based solutions from all research areas and with relevance for all industries.We define an invention as an innovation that either has recently been patented, or could have been patented, in which case the inventor has decided to create prior art and prevent the invention from being patented or an innovative software based solution (which is not always patentable). This journal discloses inventions using a specific short format, also known to the industry as an Executive Summary, (Technology) Marketing Sheet, Non-confidential information deck, Tech Pitch or a Technology Flyer.In case of unpatented or defensive disclosure the author must realise that submitting an invention to the journal constitutes 'prior art' under most jurisdictions and therefore prevents successful patenting. Elsevier will not be liable if this happens unintentionally or against the wishes of patent owners.
