Video Journal and Encyclopedia of GI Endoscopy
Gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy is developing rapidly: Modern endoscopic imaging offers a plethora of detailed visual information and endoscopic procedures are becoming increasingly sophisticated and complex. Therefore endoscopists need a new appropriate tool for visual transmission of proceedings in endoscopy. The innovative Video Journal and Encyclopedia of GI Endoscopy takes these developments into account and aims to be the premium and first choice international reference for endoscopic findings and procedures. The focus on high-quality video demonstrations of endoscopic findings and procedures offers a completely new way of presenting the work of GI experts and allows for easy comprehension of information. Additional concise manuscripts to each video detail the procedures and the findings in a bullet point style. All articles are peer-reviewed and available both online and on mobile devices. The unique format of the Video Journal and Encyclopedia of GI Endoscopy provides two elements:• An EXPERT VIDEO ENCYCLOPEDIA as a reference tool with systematic step-by-step demonstrations of common and rare GI pathologies and up-to-date endoscopic procedures. The video sequences in this section are of high educational impact and allow endoscopists and other health care providers to recognize a wide array of pathological findings, review existing techniques, and acquire new endoscopic techniques for implementation in their own clinical work.• A SCIENTIFIC VIDEO JOURNAL and premium reference for findings and techniques, demonstrating cutting edge endoscopic techniques and scientific results as well as clinical cases.

Vision Research
1. Vision Research is a journal devoted to the functional aspects of human, vertebrate and invertebrate vision and publishes experimental and observational studies, reviews, and theoretical papers firmly based upon the current facts of visual science. Vision Research also accepts experimental studies in which clinical material has been used to address an issue of basic research interest, or where basic research methods have been used to address an issue of clinical importance, or where basic research may have, as yet unapplied, clinical relevance, as far as mechanisms of function or dysfunction of the visual system are concerned. The words clinical and vision sciences should be interpreted in the broadest sense, as represented by the areas of expertise of the members of the Editorial Board. Papers reporting detailed investigations are encouraged and authors should be advised to include enough background material in the introduction of their papers so that they are comprehensible to the non-specialist. The purpose of theoretical papers is to give a higher sense of order to the facts as they are presently known, or to point to new observations which can be verified experimentally. Papers dealing with questions in the history of visual science should lay stress upon the history of ideas in this field. Vision Research has always welcomed the broadest interpretation of visual science.2. Vision Research also welcomes mini reviews. A mini review is not intended to be a comprehensive history of the subject, but rather a survey of recent developments in fast-growing and active areas of vision research covering only the last few years.3. Letters to the Editor: If in response to a published article a letter to the Editor is received, this letter will be sent out for review and at the same time be forwarded to the author(s) tackled. If the letter is accepted, the author(s) of the initial paper will be invited to write a reply within a short period of time, and the reviewers of the letter will be asked to review the reply.4. Obituaries: Vision Research has a restrictive Obituary policy. Obituaries should be submitted to the appropriate Section Editor and the Chairman, and should not exceed a length of one printed page including photograph.5. Special non-recurrent symposia may be published in Vision Research. Symposium organizers are requested to contact the Chairman. The decision is made by the Editorial Board of Vision Research at the annual meeting during ARVO.6. Sponsored Articles: Vision Research offers authors the option to sponsor non-subscriber access to their articles on Elsevier's electronic publishing platforms.

Waste Management
Waste Management is an international journal devoted to the presentation and discussion of information on the generation, prevention, characterization, monitoring, treatment, handling, reuse and ultimate residual disposition of solid wastes, both in industrialized and in economically developing countries. The journal addresses various types of solid wastes including municipal (e.g., residential, institutional, commercial, light industrial), agricultural, and special (e.g., C and D, health care, household hazardous wastes, sewage sludge).Waste Management is designed for scientists, engineers, and managers, regardless of their discipline, who are involved in scientific, technical and other issues related to solid waste management. Emphasis is placed on integrated approaches. These approaches require the blending of technical and non-technical factors. Although the dissemination and application of innovative technical information is extremely important, the implementation of sustainable waste management practices also requires a thorough understanding of the pertinent legal, social, economic, and regulatory issues involved.The journal strives to present a mix of subject matter that will best serve to help the reader understand the breadth of issues related to solid waste management. The following are some of the major areas in which papers are solicited:• Generation and characterization• Minimization• Recycling and reuse• Storage, collection, transport, and transfer• Treatment (mechanical, biological, chemical, thermal, other)• Landfill disposal (including design, monitoring, remediation of old sites)• Environmental considerations• Financial and marketing aspects• Policy and regulations• Education and training• Planning and implementation.

Water Resources and Rural Development
Much of the water diverted from streams and reservoirs, or pumped from aquifers, worldwide, is used in agriculture. And much of humanity earns its living through some connection with agriculture - either directly as a farmer or farm worker, or indirectly in one of the many endeavours that support farming activities. Thus, water plays a critical role in providing livelihood opportunities and sustaining the health and welfare of rural families around the world.Water resources and rural development publishes papers describing the role of water resources in supporting livelihood activities in rural areas. Our primary interest is in the impacts of water resources policy and management on rural livelihoods and household welfare. Thus, we welcome analyses of natural resource policies and other policies, outside the direct scope of natural resources, which influence the ways in which land, water, and other resources are allocated and used. We welcome also analyses of the importance of water resources in agriculture and in efforts to sustain or enhance environmental amenities. We recognize and encourage discussion also of the many ways in which water resources enhance rural livelihoods outside the scope of agriculture. For example, we welcome papers that describe issues pertaining to water's role in alleviating poverty and enhancing food security, drinking water supply, water quality, health impacts, wastewater reuse, multiple use systems, and other topics, provided there is an evident link to livelihoods.
