FASEB BioAdvances is an international open-access journal of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) published in partnership with John Wiley and Sons. Founded in 1912, FASEB is the nation’s largest federation of U.S. biomedical societies, representing more than 130,000 researchers worldwide.

FASEB BioAdvances serves the global bioscience community by providing a vehicle for publishing well-designed and executed original research, review, and hypothesis papers, as well as reports on the replication of other published work—regardless of perceived or anticipated citation “impact.” Published articles must be of credible design and sound science.

FEBS Letters is one of the world's leading journals in biochemistry and is renowned both for its quality of content and speed of production. Bringing together the most important developments in the molecular biosciences, FEBS Letters provides an international forum for Minireviews, hypotheses and research letters that merit urgent publication.FEBS Letters offers:• Faster publication: - Accepted articles are published online in 3 days - The print version of the article is published in 3 to 5 weeks after acceptance• Full-text article disclosure in HTML and PDF formats• Articles in Press are included in PubMed• Easy online manuscript submission system• Transparent online peer review and manuscript tracking system• No page charges• Free color figuresSubject Coverage:The subject area of FEBS Letters is broad. It covers biochemistry (including protein chemistry, enzymology, nucleic acid chemistry, metabolism, and immunochemistry), structural biology, biophysics, computational biology (genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics), molecular genetics, molecular biology and molecular cell biology (signal transduction, intracellular traffic, regulation of cellular proliferation, cell-cell interactions) and systems biology. Studies on microbes, plants and animals at the molecular level are within the scope of FEBS Letters.Submitting Authors:Manuscripts can be submitted to FEBS Letters at: http://ees.elsevier.com/febsletters/

FEBS Open Bio is an online-only Open Access journal for the rapid publication of research articles in molecular and cellular life sciences in both health and disease. The journal's peer review process focuses on the technical soundness of papers, leaving the assessment of their impact and importance to the scientific community. FEBS Open Bio is published by Elsevier on behalf of the Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS), a charity whose objectives are to promote research and education in the molecular life sciences. Any income from the journal will be used to support scientists through fellowships, courses, travel grants, prizes and other FEBS initiatives. FEBS Open Bio publishes experimental findings, critical analysis, methodological and technical innovations, and hypotheses. Novel or innovative work is encouraged, but papers describing sound science of a confirmatory nature in developing fields or extending knowledge of an important topic from one organism to another will also be considered. Articles originally submitted to other FEBS publications (FEBS Letters, FEBS Journal and Molecular Oncology) can be transferred for consideration by FEBS Open Bio with their original reviewer reports, without the need to resubmit or reformat the manuscript. FEBS Open Bio offers: Easy online manuscript submission and tracking system Fast and helpful peer review - median time to first decision 20 days Transfer service for articles from other FEBS journals, conserving peer reviews Fast publication Accepted articles published online within 5 days Author-corrected final version available within 20 days All articles are deposited in PubMed Central and indexed in PubMed

Family Process is an international, multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal committed to publishing original articles, including theory and practice, philosophical underpinnings, qualitative and quantitative clinical research, and training in couple and family therapy, family interaction, and family relationships with networks and larger systems.Since its inception over four decades ago, Family Process has become a major resource for mental health and social service professionals who are seeking cutting edge research and clinical ideas about family and systems theory and practice.The editorial advisory board comprises outstanding thinkers, researchers and practitioners drawn from an international arena, reflecting our intention and capacity to publish articles with world wide relevance.Articles are expected to be both scholarly and accessible, and written in jargon-free prose.The journal strives for a dynamic interaction between theory/practice and research, such that articles on theory and practice inform future research, and research articles contribute to the development of meaningful theory and practice.The Family Process Institute web site, www.familyprocess.org, promotes an open forum for interactive dialogue based on journal content.Guidelines for submissions to Family Process may be found by clicking on the 'For Authors' link on the left, as well as in every issue of the journal.

A premier, applied journal of family studies, Family Relations is mandatory reading for all professionals who work with families, including: family practitioners, educators, marriage and family therapists, researchers, and social policy specialists. The journal's content emphasizes family research with implications for intervention, education, and public policy, publishing:

Fatigue & Fracture of Engineering Materials & Structures encompasses the broad topic of structural integrity which is founded on the mechanics of fatigue and fracture, and is concerned with the reliability and effectiveness of structural components of any scale, geometry or material. The editors publish original contributions that will stimulate the intellectual innovation that generates elegant, effective, and economic engineering designs. The journal is interdisciplinary and includes papers from engineers, metallurgists, materials scientists, computer scientists, physicists, chemists, and mathematicians.

Feddes Repertorium - Journal of Botanical Taxonomy and Geobotany is one of the world's leading publications in theory and practice. Original research papers and reviews cover all groups of the plant world, including extant and fossil. Theory and principles of taxonomy, nomenclature, techniques and methodology, on evolution and phylogeny and descriptions of new taxa are considered as well. The reader will also find information on the history of flora and vegetation. All papers are internationally refereed by experts in their respective fields. Feddes Repertorium is indexed in CAB INTERNATIONAL, BIOBASE/Current Awareness in Biological Sciences. ISSN: 0014-8962 (print), 1522-239X (online) Volume 121. 4 Issues in 2010.
