Editorial policy favours variety in both subject-matter and method, at a time when so many academic journals are increasingly specialised in scope, and sectarian in approach. They welcome articles or proposals from all perspectives and on all subjects pertaining to international relations: law, economics, ethics, strategy, philosophy, culture, environment, and so on, in addition to more mainstream conceptual work and policy analysis. They believe that such pluralism is in great demand by the academic and policy communities and the interested public. They welcome articles or proposals on all topics of interest to students of world politics. posted by Marcus Zillman | 4:16 AM  International Journal of Applied Chemistry (IJAC) http://www.ripublication.com/ijac.htm International Journal of Applied Chemistry (IJAC) publishes original research papers, comprehensive review articles, survey articles, book reviews, dissertation abstracts in all areas of applied chemistry and other related areas of chemistry.

[From The Scout Report, Copyright Internet Scout Project 1994-2006. http://scout.wisc.edu/] posted by Marcus Zillman | 4:02 AM Friday, May 26, 2006  World Medical Journal http://www.wma.net/e/publications/index.htm 2004 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the appearance of the World Medical Journal. It is therefore appropriate that with the appearance of Volume 50, the World Medical Journal should be made available on the Web. This also coincides with the arrival of a new Honorary Editor-in-Chief, and the move to a slightly enlarged quarterly publication. The arrangement of the contents has also been modified to enhance its reflection of the aims and activities of the WMA. It is not the function of the WMJ to publish new scientific medical research. This is clearly the function of the multitude of information available in either the broad-based or specialised journals. However, there is a place for publishing overviews of trends, new areas of medical progress which may not appear in the general run of medical journals and which can increase physicians' awareness of developments of which they may be unaware. The changed layout, which is notable by the prominence of a "Medical Ethics and Human Rights" section, is complemented by a section entitled Medical Science, Professional Practice and Education. The Secretary General's column has been reintroduced and in a section entitled Regional and National Medial Association (NMA) News, we will try to report on regional developments, and NMA initiatives or problems. All WMA news and important international developments, notably from WHO, will, of course, continue to appear.

It fosters the study of all aspects of cryptology -- technical as well as historical and cultural. The journal's articles have broken many new paths in intelligence history. They have told for the first time how a special agency prepared information from codebreaking for President Roosevelt, have described the ciphers of Lewis Carroll, revealed details of Hermann Goering's wiretapping agency, published memoirs - written for it -- of some World War II American codebreakers, disclosed how American codebreaking affected the structure of the United Nations, translated from the Arabic portions of the world's first texts on cryptanalysis and from the German a study of Nazi cryptanalysis, printed an archivally-based article on a hitherto-unknown area: German Western-Front codebreaking in World War I, reprinted Winston Churchill's 1920s pleading to be given intercepts, and many many others. The journal has published a speech by the head of the National Security Agency, the nation's codebreaking and codemaking organization that is larger than the CIA, and an analysis of the government-proposed national Data Encryption Standard. Technical articles analyzed the cryptosystems generated by cipher machines, including the famous Enigma, using algebra and have reported the solution of historical cryptograms. They have explained the linguistic basis of the Navajo language used by codetalkers in the Pacific and how digital communications can conceal illustrations or watermarks that authenticate the source. One article demonstrated the inadequacy of ciphers based on music. The journal carried the obituary of the premier bibliographer of cryptology. And it reviews the many new books on the wide spectrum of ideas in cryptology and its associated fields. posted by Marcus Zillman | 4:09 AM Library, Information Science & Technology Abstracts (LISTA) http://www.libraryresearch.com/ EBSCO Publishing is proud to provide the Library, Information Science & Technology Abstracts (LISTA) database as a free resource to anyone interested in libraries and information management.

This personal browser tool permits users to clip text, images, and links from the pages they're browsing, save them to an online "notebook" that is accessible from any computer, and share them with others. Google Notebook is an interactive scratch pad for every website a user visits, offering a single online location to collect web findings without having to leave the browser window. For example, if a user were planning a vacation, she could clip the most relevant materials on the pages she visits and add personal notes to help organize all of her research. Users can make their Google Notebook public and share the notes they've taken with others. As a result, the time and effort put into their research can be harnessed by the online community as a whole. This has been added to the tools section of Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog. posted by Marcus Zillman | 6:32 AM  Google Trends http://www.google.com/trends/ With Google Trends, you can compare the world's interest in your favorite topics. Enter up to five topics and see how often they've been searched for on Google over time. Google Trends also displays how frequently your topics have appeared in Google News stories, and which geographic regions have searched for them most often. Google Trends analyzes a portion of Google web searches to compute how many searches have been done for the terms you enter relative to the total number of searches done on Google over time. We then show you a graph with the results -- our search-volume graph. Located just beneath our search-volume graph is our news-volume graph. This graph shows you the number of times your topic appeared in Google News stories. When Google Trends detects a spike in the volume of news stories for a particular term, it labels the graph and displays the headline of an automatically selected Google News story written near the time of that spike. Currently, only English-language headlines are displayed, but we hope to support non-English headlines in the future. Below the search and news volume graphs, Google Trends displays the top cities, regions, and languages for the first term you entered.

Areas of interest include but are not limited to: algorithms for RNA and protein structure analysis, gene prediction and genome analysis, comparative sequence analysis and alignment, phylogeny, gene expression, machine learning, and combinatorial algorithms. Where appropriate, manuscripts should describe applications to real-world data. However, pure algorithm papers are also welcome if future applications to biological data are to be expected, or if they address complexity or approximation issues of novel computational problems in molecular biology. Articles about novel software tools will be considered for publication if they contain some algorithmically interesting aspects. Algorithms for Molecular Biology considers the following types of articles: * Research: reports of data from original research. * Book reports: short summaries of the strengths and weaknesses of a book. They should evaluate its overall usefulness to the intended audience and are usually about 400 words. * Commentaries: short, focused and opinionated articles on any subject within the journal's scope. These articles are usually related to a contemporary issue, such as recent research findings. * Debate articles: present an argument that is not essentially based on practical research. Debate articles can report on all aspects of the subject including sociological and ethical aspects. * Meeting report: a short description of a conference that the author has attended. It is usually best for the article to be published as soon after the meeting as possible, and should focus on the key developments presented and discussed at the meeting. * Short reports: brief reports of data from original research, usually about 1500 words. * Software articles: describe the source code for software applications, tools or algorithm implementations. Typically, an archive of the source code of the current version of the software should be included with the submitted manuscript as a supplementary file.

Emergency surgery is divided into traumatic emergency surgery and non-traumatic emergency surgery. Both specialties are a fundamental part of the surgeon's daily work. Emergency surgery includes general emergency surgery, vascular emergency surgery, thoracic emergency surgery but also urologic, cardiac, paediatric, musculoskeletal, gynaecological, transplant emergency surgery and all surgical specialties. World Journal of Emergency Surgery considers the following types of articles: * Research: reports of data from original research. * Reviews: comprehensive, authoritative, descriptions of any subject within the journal's scope. Opinion leaders that have been invited by the Editorial Board usually write these articles. They have an educational aim and are 2000-3000 words * Case reports: reports of clinical cases that can be educational, describe a diagnostic or therapeutic dilemma, suggest an association, or present an important adverse reaction. All case report articles should be accompanied by written and signed consent to publish the information from the patients or their guardians. * Commentaries: short, focused and opinionated articles on any subject within the journal's scope. These articles are usually related to a contemporary issue, such as recent research findings, and are often written by opinion leaders invited by the Editorial Board. They focus on specific issues and are about 800 words. * Letters to the Editor: they can take three forms: a substantial re-analysis of a previously published article, or a substantial response to such a re-analysis from the authors of the original publication, or an article that may not cover 'standard research' but that may be relevant to readers. * Methodology articles: present a new experimental method, test or procedure. The method described may either be completely new, or may offer a better version of an existing method. The article must describe a demonstrable advance on what is currently available. The method needs to have been well tested and ideally, but not necessarily, used in a way that proves its value. * Study protocol: describes proposed or ongoing research, providing a detailed account of the hypothesis, rationale, and methodology of the study.

The journal is designed to meet the scientific and public need for such a forum in order to process the accelerating acquisition of genomic data resultant from recent technological advances in and international programmatic commitments to this area of research. Particularly encouraged is the submission of papers with a translational connection to human cancer from basic science to ethical considerations related to the application of oncogenomic discoveries for diagnostic and prognostic purposes in clinical trials and for anti-cancer drug development. An important objective will be to contribute information published in this forum to comprehensive nternationally-accessible genomic databases in order to foster the identification of molecular targets for the therapy of specific cancers. The following topics of interest are structured on the premise that cancer is a highly heterogeneous disease involving elements in the host as well as in the tumor itself: * Constitutional cancer susceptibility factors * Polymorphic variants and linkage disequilibrium related to cancer risk * Somatic genetic and epigenetic events related to cancer initiation * Precancerous genetic and epigenetic alterations * Somatic genetic and epigenetic events related to cancer progression * Genetic and epigenetic events related to metastases * Genetic and epigenetic events related to tumor/normal cell/tissue interactions * Mutation identification in cancer * Gene copy number abnormalities in cancer * Gene rearrangements in cancer * Oncogene and suppressor gene discovery and characterization * MicroRNAs in cancer * Molecular pathway alterations related to genetic or epigenetic alterations * Genomic methylation effects on gene transcription profiles * Gene expression profiles related to cancer classification and progression * Gene transcript splicing variations related to cancer * Constitutional variations affecting anti-cancer drug efficacy and toxicity * Genetic or epigenetic alterations related to drug sensitivity or resistance * Gene expression profiles related to drug sensitivity or resistance * Genomic stratification and monitoring applications in clinical trials * Integration of genomic and clinical database information * Technological advances in genomics * Quality control and ethical issues related to applied oncogenomics Translational OncoGenomics will publish: Original Research papers; Short Communications; Application Notes; Reviews; and Letters.
