Journal Guide

The primary goal of Experimental Eye Research is to publish original research papers on all aspects of experimental biology of the eye and ocular tissues that seek to define the mechanisms of normal function and/or disease. Studies of ocular tissues that encompass the disciplines of cell biology, developmental biology, genetics, molecular biology, physiology, biochemistry, biophysics, immunology or microbiology are most welcomed. Manuscripts that are purely clinical or in a surgical area of ophthalmology are not appropriate for submission to Experimental Eye Research and if received will be returned without review.Most manuscripts published are original articles describing new research findings. For review purposes the journal is divided into four sections: Aqueous Humor and Blood Flow; Cornea and Ocular Surface; Lens; and Retina and Choroid, each with their own section editors and a roster of Executive Editors that have expertise in these specialized areas.The Journal also publishes review articles, short communications, letters-to-the-editor, and methods papers. Full descriptions of each of these types of articles are detailed in the Guide for Authors.Research areas include:Production and circulation of ocular fluids and the dysfunction of these pathways underlying ocular diseaseAngiogenesis, neovascularization and regulation of blood flow in the eye in health and diseaseCell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, and biophysics of the eye or eye tissueDevelopmental and regenerative biology of the eyeHuman and molecular genetics studies of inherited eye diseasesGene therapy and neuroprotection targeted at preventing inherited ocular diseasesNeural and general physiology of the visual process

Experimental Neurology, a Journal of Neuroscience Research, publishes original research in neuroscience with a particular emphasis on novel findings in neural development, regeneration, plasticity and transplantation. The journal has focused on research concerning basic mechanisms underlying neurological disorders.US National Institutes of Health (NIH) voluntary posting ("Public Access") policyExperimental Neurology and Elsevier facilitate the author's response to the NIH Public Access Policy.

Expert Review of Neurotherapeutics (ISSN 1473-7175) provides expert reviews on the use of drugs and medicines in clinical neurology and neuropsychiatry. Coverage includes disease management, new medicines and drugs in neurology, therapeutic indications, diagnostics, medical treatment guidelines and neurological diseases such as stroke, epilepsy, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.Comprehensive coverage in each review is complemented by the unique Expert Review format and includes the following sections:

Eye is the official journal of The Royal College of Ophthalmologists. It aims to provide the practising ophthalmologist with information on the latest clinical and laboratory based research. Whilst principally aimed at the practising clinician, the journal contains material of interest to a wider readership including optometrists, orthoptists, other health care professionals and research workers in all aspects of the field of visual science.

Fluids and Barriers of the CNS is an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal that considers manuscripts on all CNS fluids and barrier systems in health and disease. Title changed from Cerebrospinal Fluid Research on 1/1/2011.

Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities (FOCUS) offers practical educational and treatment suggestions for teachers, trainers, and parents of persons with autism or other pervasive developmental disabilities. FOCUS offers original research reports, position papers reflecting diverse philosophical and theoretical positions, effective intervention procedures, descriptions of successful programs, and media reviews.

Frontiers in Neuroendocrinology, an official journal of the International Society of Neuroendocrinology and has built a reputation for topical authoritative reviews. Frontiers is at the top of both neuroscience and endocrine journals in terms of citations and Impact Factor. This prestigious publication reviews the exciting, rapidly moving, and in some instance, controversial aspects of the broad field of brain-endocrine interactions.Frontiers in Neuroendocrinology is comprised of comprehensive review articles. Most of the reviews are invited and we welcome unsolicited reviews and proposals provided they will meet the quality threshold of the journal. We also encourage authors to submit proposals for commentaries which succinctly raise new ideas or provide additional analysis to further explore ramifications of an article published in Frontiers in Neuroendocrinology. Areas of interest include:• Integrative cellular and molecular aspects of hormonally active peptides• Neurotransmitters that regulate the secretion of hypothalamic hormones• Comparative and clinical neuroendocrinology• Interactions between the nervous system and the immune system
