Journal Guide

Oncology and hematology professionals are continuously charged with staying on the cutting–edge of new medical treatments and technologies to foster better cancer patient care and practice management. To that end, The Oncologist® is dedicated to translating the latest research developments into best multimodality practice.Established by oncologists for oncologists, the Journal is committed to helping physicians excel in a challenging and ever-changing environment; to ensure their patients’ rights to the highest level of care from screening and prevention to diagnosis, treatment and management of the disease.Designed specifically for the busy practitioner, The Oncologist is devoted to medical and practice issues for surgical, radiation, and medical oncologists. With emphasis on clear, concise interpretation, rather than data, the Journal's articles are meant to impact the practice of oncology and to facilitate significant communication in the introduction and application of new advancements.The Oncologist'sSenior Editors believe that the various oncology subspecialists should share the same information base and read the same journal. It is up to us, as leaders in this field, to defend the patient's needs and rights and to assure that the patient has an advocate. In order to do so, we have to be united and fully informed. We pledge to put the best and latest information on cancer management before our readership, to help prepare them for the future, and to do their best as a team to improve outcomes and quality of life for every patient.Manuscripts are reviewed by two or more field experts and, when accepted, are published expeditiously—generally within 12 weeks. When a contribution is of such relevance as to significantly impact public health, authors may request Fast Track Review for a Rapid Communication, in which case an editorial decision will be made within 2 weeks of submission.The Oncologist challenges its readers to understand what is new and better, to glimpse the future, not only in terms of research, but also in terms of new team approaches to disease management. In short, we want our readers to explore how cancer medicine could be and will be practiced now and throughout the 21st century.CORRESPONDENCEEditorial correspondence, including submissions for publication or letters to the Editor, should be addressed to the Executive Editor.

The World Bank Economic Review is one of the most widely read scholarly economic journals in the world. It is the only journal of its kind that specializes in quantitative development policy analysis. Subject to strict refereeing, articles examine policy choices and therefore emphasize policy relevance rather than theory or methodology. Readers include economists and other social scientists in government, business, international agencies, universities, and research institutions. The WBER seeks to provide the most current and best research in the field of economic development.

The World Bank journals enjoy the largest circulation of any economics title; the Research Observer is freely distributed to more than 9,100 subscribers in non-OECD countries.The World Bank Research Observer seeks to inform nonspecialist readers about research being undertaken within the Bank and outside the Bank in areas of economics relevant for development policy. Requiring only a minimal background in economic analysis, its surveys and overviews of key issues in development economics research are intended for policymakers, project officers, journalists keeping up to date, and teachers and students of development economics and related disciplines. Papers for the Observer are not sent out to referees, but all articles published are assessed and approved by the Editorial Board, which includes three to four distinguished economists from outside the Bank. The Observer has nearly 1,500 subscribers in OECD countries and nearly 10,000 subscribers in developing countries.The journal has an impact factor of 1.700 and is ranked 16/191 in the Economics category, and 3/38 in the Planning and Development category of the ISI Journal Citation Reports (2008).
