Journal Guide

 Malaria Journal is aimed at the scientific community interested in malaria in its broadest sense. It is the only journal that publishes exclusively articles on malaria and, as such, it aims to bring together knowledge from the different specialities involved in this very broad discipline, from the bench to the bedside and to the field. Malaria Journal offers a fast publication schedule while maintaining rigorous peer-review; this is achieved by managing the whole of the publication process electronically, from submission to peer-review.

Marine Biodiversity Records is a rapid peer-reviewed, online publication that complements the long-established Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom. Marine Biodiversity Records has been launched in response to the changing marine and coastal environment and an increasing demand for the documentation of marine organisms in locations where they have not formerly been recorded, as well as of species loss from habitats. Marine Biodiversity Records therefore welcomes original research articles which document and review changes in geographical ranges of marine species, including the effects of the introduction of novel or alien species to marine ecosystems, and of taxonomic studies relevant to these changes.

Microbial Cell Factories is ready to receive manuscripts on all aspects of the development, use and investigation of microbial cells as factories for production of both natural products and recombinant proteins.

Microbial Informatics and Experimentation is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal, collegial in tone, which publishes high-quality research related to the application of computational methods to data from microbial organisms and systems. The journal aims to be a resource for both computational and experimental scientists, in which computational methods inform experimentation, and vice versa.

The central purpose of Microbiome is to unite investigators conducting microbiome research in environmental, agricultural, and biomedical arenas.Topics broadly addressing the study of microbial communities, such as, microbial surveys, bioinformatics, meta-omics approaches and community/host interaction modeling will be considered for publication. Through this collection of literature Microbiome hopes to integrate researchers with common scientific objectives across a broad cross-section of sub-disciplines within microbial ecology.

Mobile DNA is an online, peer-reviewed open access journal that publishes articles providing novel insights into DNA rearrangements, ranging from transposition and other types of recombination mechanisms to patterns and processes of mobile element and host genome evolution. Manuscripts describing DNA rearrangements such as copy number variation and the application of new mobile element technologies are also welcome.

Molecular Autism is a peer-reviewed, online open access journal that publishes high-quality basic, translational and clinical research into the molecular basis of autism and related neurodevelopmental conditions. Molecular Autism considers studies that relate causal and risk factors with these conditions, including research into genetics, molecular neurobiology, neuropathology, imaging and biomarkers, with a focus on potential applications for intervention.

Molecular Brain encompasses all aspects of the nervous system at the molecular, cellular, and system levels. 

Molecular Cancer publishes high-quality original research and reviews that present or highlight significant advances in all areas of cancer-related biomedical science.

Molecular Cytogenetics encompasses all aspects of chromosome biology and the application of molecular cytogenetic techniques in all areas of biomedicine.

Molecular Medicine is the international, peer-reviewed, biomedical journal published by the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research (New York). Molecular Medicine strives to understand normal body functioning and disease pathogenesis at the molecular level, which may allow researchers and physician-scientists to use that knowledge in the design of specific molecular tools for disease diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and prevention. Manuscripts submitted to the journal should maintain this focus and describe the implications for human disease, at a level approachable by the broad readership of Molecular Medicine. The 2011 Journal Citation Report (JCR), showing impact factors calculated from citations of articles published in 2010 and 2009, lists Molecular Medicine with an impact factor of 3.757. JCR category rankings are as follows: Medicine, Research & Experimental 24/111, Cell Biology 72/180, Biochemistry & Molecular Biology 91/289. Molecular Medicine publishes work in the format of original research articles, review articles, editorials, commentaries and letters to the editor covering emerging concepts in the interdisciplinary field of molecular medicine.Molecular Medicine places high priority on rapid publication. All content is published free online, ahead of print, within an average of 8 days after acceptance on our Web site www.molmed.org. Following acceptance, papers are posted rapidly to PubMed, with an e-publication ahead of print citation. Molecular Medicine is an open access journal and does not embargo content.

Molecular Neurodegeneration is ready to receive manuscripts on all aspects of neurodegeneration research at the molecular and cellular levels.

molecular therapy, gene therapy, cell-based therapy, technology development, drug development

animal behaviour, biogeography, environmental sciences, evolutionary biology, mathematical ecology, organism movement

Neural Development welcomes manuscripts on all aspects of research that use molecular, cellular, physiological or behavioral methods to provide novel insights into the mechanisms that underlie the formation of the nervous system.
