Journal Guide

Tropical Plant Biology covers the most rapidly advancing aspects of tropical plant biology including physiology, evolution, development, cellular and molecular biology, genetics, genomics, genomic ecology, and molecular breeding. It publishes articles of original research, but it also accepts review articles and publishes occasional special issues focused on a single tropical crop species or breakthrough. Information published in this journal guides effort to increase the productivity and quality of tropical plants and preserve the world’s plant diversity. The journal serves as the primary source of newly published information for researchers and professionals in all of the aforementioned areas of tropical science.

'Tumor Biology' is the Official Journal of the International Society of Oncology and BioMarkers (ISOBM), an international journal publishing original research, mini-reviews and research commentaries on experimental and clinical cancer research. The Journal places special emphasis on articles covering all aspects of tumor markers and tumor targeting, but studies in other areas of clinical and translational cancer research are considered. The Editors also welcome proposals for 'Mini-Reviews' and 'Research Commentaries'. Manuscript categories include Editorials, Research Articles, Reviews, Research Commentaries, and Workshop Reports.

Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (UMB) is the official journal of the World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology. The journal publishes original contributions on significant advances in clinical diagnostic, interventional and therapeutic applications, new and improved clinical techniques, the physics, engineering and technology of ultrasound in medicine and biology, and the interactions between ultrasound and biological materials, including bioeffects. Extended reviews of subjects of contemporary interest in the field are also published, in addition to occasional editorial articles, clinical and technical notes, letters to the editor and a calendar of forthcoming meetings. It is the aim of the journal fully to meet the information and publication requirements of the clinicians, scientists, engineers and other professionals who constitute the biomedical ultrasonic community.Visit the web site of the World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology at: http://www.wfumb.org/ for more information, including affiliated organizations, congresses, newsletters and reports.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Viral Immunology is a peer-reviewed journal centralizing on the growing body of research in viral immunology, with papers on clinical, veterinary, and laboratory research. This journal is essential for virologists, immunologists, microbiologists, infectious disease specialists, research and development scientists, epidemiologists, veterinary researchers, and other professionals who need to be kept up to date on all aspects of viral immunology. Topics covered include: • Human and animal viral immunology • Research and development of viral vaccines, including field trials • Immunological characterization of viral components • Virus-based immunological diseases, including autoimmune syndromes • Pathogenic mechanisms • Viral diagnostics • Tumor and cancer immunology with virus as the primary factor • Viral immunology methods .

Official Journal of the European Society of Pathology 'Virchows Archiv' is a medium for the publication of fundamental morphological research on disease in the widest sense and on human pathology in particular. Articles concerned with surgical pathology, experimental morphology, ultrastructural research, immunocytochemical analysis, and molecular biology are published, provided they illuminate some facet of human pathology. Consideration will be given to reports of work in other fields relevant to the understanding of human pathology. Papers on the application of new methods and techniques in pathology are also published

VIRUS GENES publishesstudies on analysis of virus genes, gene products and functions, regulation of virus gene function, cell biology of virus infectionfunctional studies of genes and gene families, encoded by eukaryotic,  prokaryotic and archaeal viruses, viroids, as well as unconventional and novel infectious agentsphylogenetic and evolutionary data from all virus genera and familiessystems biology of virus-host interactionsnext generation sequencing of complex infectious samples for genomic, transcriptomic, and metagenomic studiesthe role of virus genes in studies on antivirals affecting specific virus or host gene functionsPublications are in the form of Original work (Full papers), Short reports, (Mini-) Reviews, Correspondence (letters to editor), and Editorials.

Virus Research provides a means of fast publication for original papers on fundamental research in virology. Contributions on new developments concerning virusstructure, replication, pathogenesis and evolution are encouraged. These include reports describing virus morphology, the function and antigenic analysis of virus structural components, virus genome structure and expression, analysis on virus replication processes, virus evolution in connection with antiviral interventions, effects of viruses on their host cells, particularly on the immune system, and the pathogenesis of virus infections, including oncogene activation and transduction. The journal also publishes review articles on topics of current interest, special issues focused on a defined subject, and occasional book reviews and meeting reports.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
