Journal Guide

Criminal Behaviour & Mental Health - CBMH - aims to publish original material on any aspect of the relationship between mental state and criminal behaviour. Thus, we are interested in mental mechanisms associated with offending, regardless of whether the individual concerned has a mental disorder or not. We are interested in factors that influence such relationships, and particularly welcome studies about pathways into and out of crime. These will include studies of normal and abnormal development, of mental disorder and how that may lead to offending for a subgroup of sufferers, together with information about factors which mediate such a relationship. We are particularly keen to attract treatment studies and studies evaluating the impact of a range of interventions and new services designed to increase public safety as well as the safety and well-being of the perpetrators of crime and their victims. CBMH welcomes a wide range of methodologies and formats. Both qualitative and quantitative research is welcomed, from both laboratory and field conditions, as are systematic reviews. Case histories are not excluded, but have to be presented with the same theoretical and methodological rigour as any other research considered acceptable for publication. Potential authors are referred to the guidance for authors for further information about requirements on length, style, format and ethical issues. CBMH should be of interest to clinical and non-clinical practitioners working with offenders with and without identified mental disorder. University students and researchers in clinical disciplines and in non-clinical disciplines such as criminology and law should find the material particularly useful. CBMH would also be useful for policy makers and government departments.

Criminology is devoted to crime and deviant behavior. Disciplines covered include sociology, psychology, design, systems analysis, and decision theory. Major emphasis is placed on empirical research and scientific methodology. The journal's content also includes articles which review the literature or deal with theoretical issues stated in the literature as well as suggestions for the types of investigation which might be carried out in the future.

Critical Care Research and Practice is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes original research articles, review articles, and clinical studies in all areas of critical care medicine.

The journal addresses the whole range of cultural forms so that discussions of, for example, cinema and television can appear alongside analyses of the accepted literary canon. It is a necessary condition of debate in these areas that it should involve as many and as varied voices as possible, and Critical Quarterly welcomes submissions from new researchers and writers as well as more established contributors.

Current Gerontology and Geriatrics Research aims at scientists, geriatricians, health professionals interested in molecular, cellular, organismal aspects of gerontological research and in diagnosis, treatment, evaluation and educational aspects of geriatrics research. The journal also highlights new discoveries, approaches as well as technical developments in basic, clinical and discovery driven translational research.The main feature of the journal is to provide an international forum where researchers, clinicians, health professionals, and health care providers can publish their work, raise awareness to issues of broad interest in the field of aging, and debate on controversial issues. The scope of the journal includes papers on physiological and molecular mechanisms that encompass the process of aging, as well as on pathological aspects and mechanisms that encompass the diseases associated with aging. Subject areas covered by the journal include all aspects of biological gerontology and clinical geriatrics research. These subject areas include (but are not limited to):Key biological processes such as cell cycle, DNA repair, free radical biology, apoptosis, angiogenesis, cell signalling, immune response, inflammation, stem cell research, and cell communicationEmerging technologies applied to the aging research: genomics, proteomics, functional genomics, metabolomic, lipidomic, tissues arrays, and model systemsBiomarkers of aging: usefulness, diagnosis, prognosis, and stratificationAging and longevity genetics, epigentics, and genomic instabilityMolecular pathology of age-related diseases including atherosclerosis, neuro-degeneration, cancer, immunosenescence, arthrosis, osteoporosis, and inflammationDiagnosis, approach, evaluation and treatment of major age-related diseases including Fall, delirium, cardiovascular diseases, infections, tumours, auto-immune diseases, dementia, and gait disordersClinical pharmacologyEpidemiology and prevention in elderlyInnovative therapies for age-related diseases including special clinical trials in elderlyRehabilitation medicine in the elderlyClinical nutritionTheories of aging.

Cytometry, Part A embraces the study of the cytome, covering all aspects of molecular analysis of cellular systems in the following areas: cytomics (studies linking the genome and proteome to cell regulation and function), flow cytometry, image cytometry, molecular array technologies, as well as other cell-based spectroscopic analyses and associated bioinformatics/computational methodologies. The research featured in the journal encompasses not only the development of the techniques and reagents needed to measure cell features and cellular constituents, but also investigations that primarily employ these techniques for characterization in order to provide an understanding of function and regulation in the context of the cell, organ, and organism. Cytometry, Part A publishes original research articles, in-depth reviews, rapid communications of new, novel 'hot' topics, and technical innovation articles. Topical coverage includes:
