Developing World Bioethics provides long needed case studies, teaching materials, news in brief, and legal backgrounds to bioethics scholars and students in developing and developed countries alike. This companion journal to Bioethics also features high-quality peer reviewed original articles. It is edited by well-known bioethicists who are working in developing countries, yet it will also be open to contributions and commentary from developed countries' authors. Developing World Bioethics is the only journal in the field dedicated exclusively to developing countries' bioethics issues. The journal is an essential resource for all those concerned about bioethical issues in the developing world. Members of Ethics Committees in developing countries will highly value a special section dedicated to their work. For information about Blackwell Publication Ethics, click here.
The journal provides a focus for communication among neuroscientists, geneticists, neurodevelopmental pediatricians, and behavioral scientists interested in clinical or basic science research in aspects of brain development and function. The journal is an international forum for the exchange of novel and significant information on broad aspects of developmental disabilties. The journal offers timely publication of scientific reviews, as well as editorial commentaries and other items of general interest to its readers. As the field of developmental disabilities represents a multi-disciplinary research arena, the reviews, commentaries, and other editorial text must be written in clear, authoritative, yet accessible and jargon-free prose. The journal is intended for scientists and clinical practitioners in such areas as clinical, developmental, and rehabilitation psychology; developmental neurobiology; human, medical, and molecular genetics; molecular biology; neurology; pediatrics; pharmacology; physical medicine and rehabilitation; and psychiatry. Each issue is topicoriented. Future topics are listed in sufficient time to permit letters of inquiry about proposed articles. Although most articles are invited research reviews by leaders in the field, unsolicited proposals will be considered.
For over 50 years, Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology (DMCN) has defined the field of paediatric neurology and neurodisability and is one of the world's leading journals in the whole field of paediatrics. DMCN disseminates a range of information worldwide to improve the lives of disabled children and their families. DMCN aims to enhance the care of children by worldwide dissemination of clinical research into the wide range of neurological conditions and disabilities that affect children. The breadth of DMCN includes:
Developmental Neurorehabilitation aims to enhance recovery and rehabilitation in children with brain injury and neurological disorders.It focuses on a truly developmental perspective: the longitudinal consequences of neurological insult during childhood and the impact of such injury in later life. It covers childhood neurological disorders and treatment, encompassing factors of lifespan, neurological recovery and intervention at experimental, clinical and theoretical levels.In order to best serve clinicians and researchers, we seek to include an equal representation of basic and clinical research on development, recovery and rehabilitation. With a focus on translational research, we wish to actively pursue the interchange of ideas, and problems connecting basic and clinical scientists.Contributions are welcomed in the following formats: * ORIGINAL RESEARCH - empirical investigations from clinical and animal research * SUBJECT REVIEWS - topical reviews to increase awareness and discussion of future research and practice * PEER COMMENTARY - different perspectives on published reviews * VOICES FROM THE PAST - children, disability and rehabilitation in history * CASE STUDIES - the value of single case methodology in elucidating impairments and treatment efficacy * ETHICAL AND LEGAL PERSPECTIVES - implications of change in the law and of new research.
Presenting research that bears on important conceptual issues in developmental psychology, Developmental Review: Perspectives in Behavior and Cognition provides child and developmental, child clinical, and educational psychologists with authoritative articles that reflect current thinking and cover significant scientific developments. The journal emphasizes human developmental processes and gives particular attention to issues relevant to child developmental psychology. The research concerns issues with important implications for the fields of pediatrics, psychiatry, and education, and increases the understanding of socialization processes.Features:• Analyses of method and design• Analyses of social policy as it affects human development• Essays on major books• Historical analyses• Integrated collections of papers on a single theme• Provocative empirical findings of particular importance for developmental theory• Reviews of the literature• Summaries of programmatic research• Theoretical statementsBenefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Diabetes publishes original research about the physiology and pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus. Submitted manuscripts can report any aspect of laboratory, animal, or human research. Emphasis is on investigative reports focusing on areas such as the pathogenesis of diabetes and its complications, normal and pathologic pancreatic islet function and intermediary metabolism, pharmacological mechanisms of drug and hormone action, and biochemical and molecular aspects of normal and abnormal biological processes. Studies in the areas of diabetes education or the application of accepted therapeutic and diagnostic approaches to patients with diabetes mellitus are not published.
The aims and objectives of Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome: Clinical Research and Reviews are to increase knowledge, provide guidelines and policies, stimulate research about the physiology and pathophysiology, and to promote better management of the metabolic diseases, using peer-reviewed original articles and expert comments. It encourages the publication of original basic/original research articles, reviews, short communication, case reports and letters. Reviews or mini-reviews are especially welcomed for those areas within endocrinology undergoing rapid changes. Short communications should contain concise definitive information.
