             Established   in 1972, Chemical Society Reviews is a monthly journal published by the Royal   Society of Chemistry (UK). It publishes accessible, succinct and   reader-friendly articles on topics of current interest in the chemical   sciences as well as tutorials and critical reviews. Tutorial reviews are   written to be of relevance both to the general research chemist who is new to   the field, as well as the expert, and are accessible to advanced   undergraduates and beyond. On the other hand, Critical reviews provide a   deeper understanding of the topic in hand, yet retain their accessibility   through an introduction written for the general reader.

             Founded in   1934, The Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series B (Statistical   Methodology), aims to publish high quality papers on the methodological   aspects of statistics. The objective of papers should be to contribute to the   understanding of statistical methodology and/or to develop and improve   statistical methods; any mathematical theory should be directed towards these   aims. The kinds of contribution considered include descriptions of new   methods of collecting or analysing data, with the underlying theory, an   indication of the scope of application and preferably a real example. Also   considered are comparisons, critical evaluations and new applications of existing   methods, contributions to probability theory which have a clear practical   bearing (including the formulation and analysis of stochastic models),   statistical computation or simulation where original methodology is involved   and original contributions to the foundations of statistical science. Reviews   of methodological techniques are also considered.

             Established   in 1959, Biometrical Journal publishes papers on statistical methods and   their applications in life sciences including medicine, environmental   sciences and agriculture. Methodological developments should be motivated by   an interesting and relevant problem from these areas. Ideally the manuscript   should include a description of the problem and a section detailing the   application of the new methodology to the problem. Case studies, review   articles and letters to the editors are also welcome. Papers containing only   extensive mathematical theory are not suitable for publication in Biometrical   Journal. The jounal is published every two months.

             Established   in 1966, Earth-Science Reviews publishes review papers of all aspects of   Earth Sciences or treatises on an expanding Earth Sciences subject. Covering   a much wider field than the usual specialist journals, it allows the reader   to see his particular interest related to the earth sciences as a whole.   Because of the breadth and depth of its approach to subjects of current   interest, the journal is an important vehicle of information gathering for   instructors; students; research scientists; government agencies involved in   programme support and management and in environmental assessment and control;   private industries concerned with planetary resources and the independent   consultant. The Journal is published twice a month.

             Quaternary   Science Reviews caters for all aspects of Quaternary science, and includes,   for example, geology, geomorphology, geography, archaeology, soil science,   palaeobotany, palaeontology, palaeoclimatology and the full range of   applicable dating methods. The dividing line between what constitutes the   review paper and one which contains new original data is not easy to   establish, so QSR also publishes papers with new data especially if these   perform a review function. All the Quaternary sciences are changing rapidly   and subject to re-evaluation as the pace of discovery quickens; thus the   eclectic and comprehensive role of Quaternary Science Reviews keeps readers   abreast of the wider issues relating to new developments in the field.

             Established   in 1974, Precambrian Research publishes studies on all aspects of the early   stages of the composition, structure and evolution of the Earth and its   planetary neighbours. It covers, but is not restricted to, subjects such as: 
            (1) chemical, biological, biochemical and cosmochemical evolution; the origin of life; the evolution of the oceans and atmosphere; the early fossil record; palaeobiology; (2) geochronology and isotope and elemental geochemistry; (3) Precambrian mineral deposits; (4) geophysical aspects of the early Earth and Precambrian terrains; (5) nature and evolution of the Precambrian lithosphere and mantle including magmatic, depositional, metamorphic and tectonic processes. In addition, the editors particularly welcome integrated process-oriented studies that involve a combination of the above fields and comparative studies that demonstrate the effect of Precambrian evolution on Phanerozoic earth system processes.  |

             Established   in 1966, Earth and Planetary Science Letters has consistently published   concise, highly cited articles on research of significance to the broad earth   and planetary sciences community. Extensive data sets are included as   electronic supplements to help meet length limits. Appropriate subject matter   includes physical, chemical and mechanical processes and properties of the   earth and planets from the deep interior to the atmosphere. Articles are   evaluated on scientific importance and originality, topicality and wide geo-   and planetary sciences impact. Articles on topics of regional or specialist   interest suitable for more focused journals will not be considered for   review.

             Established   in 1988, the Journal of Climate is published semimonthly by the American Meteorological   Society. The journal covers climate research and, therefore, welcomes   manuscripts concerned with large-scale variability of the atmosphere, oceans,   and land surface, including the cryosphere; past, present, and projected   future changes in the climate system (including those caused by human   activities); and climate simulation and prediction. Occasionally the Journal   of Climate will publish review articles on particularly topical areas. Such   reviews must be approved by the Chief Editor prior to submission.

             Quarterly   journal published by the Paleontological Society (USA). publishes original   articles that emphasize biological or paleobiological processes and patterns   including: speciation, extinction, development of individuals and colonies,   natural selection, evolution, and patterns of variation, abundance and   distribution of organisms in space and time. Papers concerning recent   organisms ans systems are also included if they aid in understanding the   fossil record and the history of life. In addition to research articles of   moderate length, Paleobiology provides an outlet for shorter and longer   pieces. The Matters of the Record section features succinct, up-to-date   discussions of new discoveries, reviews of recent conceptual advances, and   brief syntheses of important topics. Paleobiology also publishes short book   essays in its Book Review section. In 1999, Paleobiology began publication of   an occasional series, Paleobiology Memoirs, which provides an outlet for   longer works on the same topics covered in regular research articles.

             Established   in 1923, Biological Reviews covers the entire range of the biological   sciences, presenting several review articles per issue. Although scholarly   and with extensive bibliographies, the articles are aimed at non-specialist   biologists as well as researchers in the field. Authors are specifically   instructed to be aware of this fact in their writing, and the resulting   reviews serve as extensive introductions to particular fields, defining the   state of the art, and drawing attention to gaps in knowledge. Articles are up   to 20,000 words long and each contains an abstract, a thorough introduction   and statement of conclusions.

             Established   in 1926, The Quarterly Review of Biology is a quarterly journal publishing   articles in all areas of biology but with a traditional emphasis on evolution,   ecology, and organismal biology. QRB papers do not merely summarize a topic,   but offer important new ideas, concepts, and syntheses. They often shape the   course of future research within a field. In addition, the book review   section of the QRB is the most comprehensive in biology.

             Established   in 1961, The Journal of Theoretical Biology is a forum for theoretical papers   that give insight into biological processes. It covers a very wide range of   topics and is of interest to biologists in many areas of research. Many of   the papers make use of mathematics, and an effort is made to make the papers   intelligible to biologists as a whole. Experimental material bearing on   theory is acceptable. Comment on theoretical issues or on papers published in   the journal is welcomed in the form of Letters to the Editors. Research Areas   Include: 
            • Cell Biology and Development • Developmental Biology • Ecology • Evolution • Immunology • Infectious Diseases • Mathematical Modeling, Statistics, and Data Bases • Medical Sciences and Plant Pathology • Microbiology, Molecular Biology, and Biochemistry • Physiology  |

             Established   in 1969, Optics Communications covers various fields of modern optics.   Manuscripts may discuss fundamental or applied issues, and should offer clear   evidence of novelty and significance. Papers devoted, for the most part, to   mathematical and computational issues, with limited direct connection to   current trends of optics research, are generally not suitable for publication   in the Journal. Similarly, small technical advances, or papers concerned only   with engineering applications or issues of materials science may not be   considered favourably. The journal is published twice a month.

             Begun in 1895   by George E. Hale and James E. Keeler, The Astrophysical Journal is the   foremost research journal in the world devoted to recent developments,   discoveries, and theories in astronomy and astrophysics. Many of the classic   discoveries of the twentieth century have first been reported in the Journal,   which has also presented much of the important recent work on quasars,   pulsars, neutron stars, black holes, solar and stellar magnetic fields,   X-rays, and interstellar matter. In addition, videos that complement specific   issues are periodically available.
