This journal serves as a central resource for the dissemination of information about fibromyalgia, myofascial pain, and other types of musculoskeletal pain. This includes: basic & clinical research; molecular biology; epidemiology; innovative opinion; psychology; anesthesiology; dentistry; neurology; orthopedics; pain management; neurophysiology; neuroanatomy; electrophysiology; therapeutics; medical biochemistry; pharmacology; physiatry; psychiatry; rehabilitation; rheumatology.

World Scientific is proud to announce the launch of a new online submission system, Editorial Manager (EM), for Journal of Musculoskeletal Research. One of the industry standard systems used by major academic publishers, EM provides a full online solution for manuscript submission, peer-review, and tracking. Authors can submit their LaTeX or MS-Word manuscript source files at the submission stage and check review progress from their web accounts Referees can submit reports easily through the easy-to-use web interface and have access to their assignments online anytime Editors can manage and monitor submissions, send reminders to referees and keep up-to-date via automatic email alerts The "Online Ready" section features articles which have been formatted, checked, and finalized. These articles are citable by their volume number, article ID, and DOI.

Journal of Nanobiotechnology is ready to receive manuscripts on all aspects of scientific and technological advances in the fields of medical, biological and nanoscale sciences.

The Journal of Natural Products invites and publishes papers that make substantial and scholarly contributions to the area of natural products research. Contributions may relate to the chemistry and/or biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds or the biology of living systems from which they are obtained. When new compounds are reported, manuscripts describing their biological activity are much preferred.

Topics may include, but are not limited to:

• Secondary metabolites of microorganisms, including antibiotics and mycotoxins
• Physiologically active compounds from terrestrial and marine plants and animals
• Biochemical studies, including biosynthesis and microbiological transformations
• Fermentation and plant tissue culture
• Isolation, structure elucidation, and chemical synthesis of novel compounds from nature
• Pharmacology of compounds of natural origin 

Manuscripts that focus on biological properties of chemically complex extracts, mixtures, or essential oils are outside the scope of the journal.

Journal of Nephrology is a bimonthly journal that considers publication of peer reviewed original manuscripts dealing with both clinical and laboratory investigations of relevance to the broad fields of Nephrology, Dialysis and Transplantation. It is the Official Journal of the Italian Society of Nephrology (SIN).

The investigation of basic mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of neurological and psychiatric disorders has deepened our knowledge of these disorders and their treatment. The Journal of Neural Transmission establishes an interface between basic sciences and clinical neurology and psychiatry and acts as a platform for translational research publications in neurosciences and associated clinical fields, thus bridging the gap between basic knowledge and clinical application.The journal is published monthly in three sections: 'Translational Neuroscience', 'Neurology and preclinical neurological studies' and 'Psychiatry and preclinical psychiatric studies'.

The Journal of Neuro-Oncology is a multi-disciplinary journal encompassing basic, applied, and clinical investigations in all research areas as they relate to cancer and the central nervous system. It provides a single forum for communication among neurologists, neurosurgeons, radiotherapists, medical oncologists, neuropathologists, neurodiagnosticians, and laboratory-based oncologists conducting relevant research. The Journal of Neuro-Oncology does not seek to isolate the field, but rather to focus the efforts of many disciplines in one publication through a format which pulls together these diverse interests. More than any other field of oncology, cancer of the central nervous system requires multi-disciplinary approaches. To alleviate having to scan literally dozens of journals of cell biology, pathology, laboratory and clinical endeavours, JNO is a periodical in which current, high-quality, relevant research in all aspects of neuro-oncology may be found.

The offical journal of the North American Neuro-Ophthalmology Society, Journal of Neuro-Ophthalmology keeps pace with important advances in all spheres of the neurologic and ophthalmologic sciences. Clinicians and researchers worldwide report on recent developments in diagnosing and treating ophthalmologic, neurologic, endocrine, inflammatory, and neoplastic conditions affecting the oculomotor and visual systems.Website: www.jneuro-ophthalmology.com.

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation is ready to receive manuscripts on all aspects of research that result from cross-fertilization of the fields of neuroscience, biomedical engineering, and physical medicine & rehabilitation.

The Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery (JNIS) aims to be the leading peer review journal for scientific research and literature pertaining to the field of neurointerventional surgery. The journal launch follows growing professional interest in neurointerventional techniques for the treatment of a range of neurological and neurovascular problems including stroke, aneurysms, vascular malformations, brain tumors, head and neck disorders, and spinal disease . Neurointerventional surgery deploys percutaneous techniques for intravascular, spinal, or direct puncture procedures, which minimize pain and the risk of complications, and enhance the speed of recovery.
