Journal Guide

Chemometrics and Intelligent Laboratory Systems publishes original research papers, short communications, reviews, tutorials and software descriptions reporting on novel developments in techniques for chemistry and related disciplines that are characterised by the application of statistical and computer methods.Chemometrics is the chemical discipline that uses mathematical and statistical methods to design or select optimal procedures and experiments, and to provide maximum chemical information by analysing chemical data.The journal deals with the following topics:1) Development of new statistical, mathematical and chemometrical methods for Chemistry and related fields (Environmental Chemistry, Biochemistry, Toxicology, System Biology etc.)2) Novel applications of chemometrics to all branches of Chemistry and related fields (typical domains of interest are: process control, experimental design, data mining, signal processing, supervised modelling, decision making, robust statistics, mixture analysis, multivariate calibration etc.) Routine applications of established chemometrical techniques will not be considered.3) Development of new software4) Well characterized data sets to test performance for the new methods and software.The journal complies with International Committee of Medical Journal Editors' Uniform requirements for manuscripts.

Chemosensors (ISSN 2227-9040) provides an advanced forum for the science and technology of chemical sensors. It publishes reviews, regular research papers and communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. All aspects of chemosensing are welcomed from theoretical concepts to education and training. We also welcome manuscripts on classic chemical sensing – be it wet chemistry or biological sensing using enzymes or cells and other model organisms. Drug testing and medical/diagnostic testing are also included under this umbrella. We welcome results of field testing or assay validation as well, whether it be at the research level or from commercial pretesting. We also ask for perspectives from people working in the field or editorials that concern prominent issues related to chemosensing. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. There are, in addition, several unique features of this journal: Manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas will be particularly welcomed. Electronic files and software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material. We also accept manuscripts communicating to a broader audience with regard to research projects financed with public funds.

Chemosensory Perception publishes original research and review papers covering the connection between chemical, sensory, and neurological sciences. It features interdisciplinary work that links these areas together. Coverage in Chemosensory Perception includes animal work with implications for human phenomena and explores the following areas:

Identification of chemicals producing sensory response Identification of sensory response associated with chemicals Human in vivo response to chemical stimuli Human in vitro response to chemical stimuli Neuroimaging of chemosensory function Neurological processing of chemoreception Chemoreception mechanisms Psychophysics of chemoperception Trigeminal function Multisensory perception Contextual effect on chemo-perception Behavioral response to chemical stimuli Physiological factors effecting and contributing to chemo-perception Flavor and hedonics Memory and chemo-perception

Chemosphere is an international journal designed for the publication of original communications as well as review articles. Chemosphere, as a multidisciplinary journal, offers maximum dissemination of investigations related to all aspects of environmental science. Chemosphere will publish: • Original communications describing important new discoveries or further developments in important fields of investigation related to the environment and human health • Reviews, mainly of new developing areas of environmental science • Special, themed issues on relevant topics.

Chemotherapy publishes original research articles and state-of-the-art reviews on all aspects of antimicrobial and antitumor chemotherapy. The results of experimental and clinical investigations into the microbiological and pharmacological properties of antibacterial, antiviral, and antitumor compounds are major topics of publication. Papers selected for the journal offer data concerning the efficacy, toxicology, and interactions of new drugs in single or combined applications. Studies designed to determine the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of similar preparations and comparing their efficacy are also included. Special emphasis is given to the development of drug resistance, an increasing problem worldwide.
