The American Epilepsy Society and Wiley-Blackwell are pleased to present Epilepsy Currents.

Epilepsy Currents surveys and comments on all important research and developments in a format that is easy to read and reference.

Epilepsy Research provides for publication of high quality articles in both experimental and clinical epilepsy research, with a special emphasis on translational research that ultimately relates to epilepsy as a human condition. The journal is intended to provide a forum for reporting the best and most rigorous epilepsy research from all disciplines ranging from biophysics and molecular biology to epidemiological and psychosocial research. As such the journal will publish original papers relevant to epilepsy from any scientific discipline and also studies of a multidisciplinary nature. Clinical and experimental research papers adopting fresh conceptual approaches to the study of epilepsy and its treatment are encouraged. The overriding criteria for publication are novelty, significant clinical or experimental relevance, and interest to a multidisciplinary audience in the broad arena of epilepsy. Review articles focused on any topic of epilepsy research will also be considered, but only if they present an exceptionally clear synthesis of current knowledge and future directions of a research area, based on a critical assessment of the available data or on hypotheses that are likely to stimulate more critical thinking and further advances in an area of epilepsy research.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

This review aims to compare approaches to medical ethics and bioethics in two forms, Anglo-Saxon (Ethics, Medicine and Public Health) and French (Ethique, Médecine et Politiques Publiques). Thus, in their native languages, the authors will present research on the legitimacy of the practice and appreciation of the consequences of acts towards patients as compared to the limits acceptable by the community, as illustrated by the democratic debate.

Cette revue a pour objectif de comparer les approches de l'éthique médicale et de la bioéthique sous deux formes, anglo-saxonne (Ethics, Medicine and Public Health) et francophone (Ethique, Médecine et Politiques Publiques). Ainsi, dans leurs langues maternelles respectives, les auteurs présenteront des recherches sur la légitimité des pratiques et l'appréciation des conséquences des actes autant vis-à-vis des patients que vis-à-vis de la société en terme de débats démocratiques sur les limites acceptables par la collectivité.

iOpenAccess option available for this journal Ethnicity & Health is an international academic journal designed to meet the world-wide interest in the health of ethnic groups.
