Journal Guide

Hydrological Processes is an international journal devoted to the publication of original scientific and technical papers in hydrology. The objective of these communications is to improve our understanding of hydrological processes. The scope of the journal encompasses disciplines focussing on the physical, biogeochemical, mathematical and methodological aspects of hydrological processes together with research on instrumentation and techniques. The journal also publishes several issues annually, which relate to themes emergent from conferences, hydrological science societies and key research topics identified by editorial board members. Comments on previously published papers may be submitted to HP. The authors of the original work will be given the opportunity to submit a reply for simultaneous publication with the Comment. Comments and Replies will be subject to the normal journal review process. For publication of a Comment or a Reply, they must be judged by the referees to be scientifically significant. Comments should preferably be in the form of a short paper not exceeding the length of two printed journal pages. Publication will take place only when all parties have had an opportunity to respond appropriately. All papers for HP should be prepared in accordance with the notes for contributors . Submit papers to the Editor-in-Chief of HP or one of the Associate Editors HPToday is devoted to research and sources of information which are considered to be deserving of rapid dissemination to hydrologists. As such, it should be seen as a forum for rapid scientific communication and as a vehicle for up-to-date dialogues in hydrological sciences. HPToday includes invited commentaries, letters to the editor, and refereed scientific briefings. All papers for HPToday should be prepared in accordance with the notes for contributors . The journal to which you are submitting your manuscript employs a plagiarism detection system. By submitting your manuscript to this journal you accept that your manuscript may be screened for plagiarism against previously published works is devoted to research and sources of information. Please note: Effective from the start of the 2011 volume, this journal will be published online-only.

IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering (hereinafter called TEEE ) publishes 6 times per year as an official journal of the Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan (hereinafter 'IEEJ'). This peer-reviewed journal contains original research papers and review articles on the most important and latest technological advances in core areas of Electrical and Electronic Engineering and in related disciplines. The journal also publishes short communications reporting on the results of the latest research activities TEEE ) aims to provide a new forum for IEEJ members in Japan as well as fellow researchers in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from around the world to exchange ideas and research findings. To fully cover this wide field of study, IEEJ's five technical societies (subsidiary groups under IEEJ) take responsibility for editing one issue per year while additionally selecting issue topics and soliciting papers. Areas covered by the five technical societies are:

IJU Case Reports is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal that considers new observations of diseases, clinical findings or novel/unique treatment outcomes relevant to practitioners in urology.

As healthcare professionals, authors, and publishers ourselves, the IJU Case Reports editors believe in the value of case reports and know how hard they can be to write and publish.

IJU Case Reports accepts only cases of exceptional interest and novelty. All clinical cases should be reported in a way that provide evidence showing adequate steps have been taken to minimize harm, to avoid coercion or exploitation, to protect confidentiality, to minimize the risk of physical and psychological damage, and to respect autonomy.

Authors should kindly note that submission implies that the content has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere except as a brief abstract in the proceedings of a scientific meeting or symposium.

Ibis publishes original papers, reviews and short communications reflecting the forefront of research activity in ornithological science, but with special emphasis on the conservation, ecology, ethology and systematics of birds. Ibis aims to publish as rapidly as is consistent with the requirements of peer-review and normal publishing constraints.

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease is a peer-reviewed, open access, interdisciplinary journal providing rapid publication of research across the broad field of immunology. Immunity, Inflammation and Disease gives rapid consideration to papers in all areas of clinical and basic research. The journal is indexed in Medline and welcomes original work that enhances the understanding of immunology in areas including:

• cellular and molecular immunology 
• clinical immunology 
• allergy 
• immunochemistry 
• immunogenetics 
• immune signalling
• immune development 
• imaging
• mathematical modelling 
• autoimmunity
• transplantation immunology
• cancer immunology

Original research articles, methods papers, editorials and commentaries are published. Original research papers must report well-conducted research with conclusions supported by the data presented in the paper. Immunity, Inflammation and Disease considers for publication both papers submitted directly to the journal and those referred from a select group of prestigious journals published by Wiley-Blackwell. List available here.

In order for research to advance, negative results, which often make a valuable contribution to the field, should be published. However, articles containing negative or null results are frequently not considered for publication or rejected by journals. We welcome papers of this kind, where appropriate and valid power calculations are included that give confidence that a negative result can be relied upon.

Keywords: immunology, imaging, allergy, autoimmunity

While each volume of Immunological Reviews is devoted to a single topic of immunological research, collectively their aim is to provide a broad and continously updated survey of advances in basic immunology and their clinical applications.

mmunology & Cell Biology focuses on the general functioning of the immune system in its broadest sense, with a particular emphasis on its cell biology.Areas that are covered include but are not limited to: * Cellular immunology * Innate and adaptive immunity * Immune responses to pathogens * Tumour immunology * Immunopathology * Immunotherapy * Immunogenetics * Immunological studies in humans and model organisms (including mouse, rat, Drosophila etc)This leading journal has an established international reputation, built on more than 85 years of innovative publishing. The Journal publishes peer-reviewed Original Articles, Short Communications and Outstanding Observation Articles that describe new research results. Outstanding Observation Articles describe striking reproducible observations that have extremely important conceptual implications but do not necessarily include insights into the underlying molecular mechanism. This manuscript category allows publication of extraordinary findings soon after their discovery. Methodological papers or technical reports of high quality will also be considered for publication as Original Articles or Short Communications. Immunology & Cell Biology also publishes Reviews and News and Commentary articles, which provide succinct summaries of, respectively, an area or a specific research advance in immunology. Landmark articles are brief commentaries which highlight the historical significance of a particular piece of research relevant to the journal's scope. Editorial articles are brief comments written by the editor(s) of the journal or by guest editor(s) of Special Features (see below) based on the contents of the current issue or topical subjects that fall within the scope of the journal. Immunology & Cell Biology occasionally publishes Meeting Reports that briefly detail the discussions, presentations and events at a relevant recent meeting.
