The international journal Synergy is dedicated to the understanding, development and application of the principle of "synergy" at the molecular, cellular and organismic levels and its application in the prevention and treatment of disease.Multimodal treatments or multitarget approaches are increasingly applied to treat complex diseases in different disciplines of medicine – mainly based on empirical knowledge. There is a need to elucidate and define further the combinatory actions in the context of the theoretical basis, experimental design and quantification of synergy at different dose and effect levels, including optimal combination ratios or sequences and the prevention of potential adverse events.The journal Synergy aims to serve as an international platform for the dissemination, exchange and discourse of innovative research on the systematic development of combination therapies based on synergistic effects and the quantification and quantitative simulation of synergistic and/or antagonistic modes of action. Preclinical and clinical research results are invited from the fields of medicine, molecular and cellular biology, toxicology, pharmacology, pharmacy, and bioinformatics.Synergy publishes research on combinations of single and multicomponent drugs of synthetic or of natural origin. Its scope includes "Omic" approaches, which contribute to the understanding of complex disease traits and bring them into the context of system biology.Synergy welcomes relevant contributions in the forms of original research papers, reviews, rapid communications, perspectives and letters to the editor. Commentaries are by invitation only.

Systematic Reviews encompasses all aspects of the design, conduct and reporting of systematic reviews. The journal aims to publish high quality systematic review products including systematic review protocols, systematic reviews related to a very broad definition of health, rapid reviews, updates of already completed systematic reviews, and methods research related to the science of systematic reviews, such as decision modeling.

Systems Biology in Reproductive Medicine, SBiRM, publishes Research Articles, Communications, Applications Notes that include protocols a Clinical Corner that includes case reports, Review Articles and Hypotheses and Letters to the Editor on human and animal reproduction. The journal will highlight the use of systems approaches including genomic, cellular, proteomic, metabolomic, bioinformatic, molecular, and biochemical, to address fundamental questions in reproductive biology, reproductive medicine, and translational research. The journal publishes research involving human and animal gametes, stem cells, developmental biology and toxicology, and clinical care in reproductive medicine. Specific areas of interest to the journal include: male factor infertility and germ cell biology, reproductive technologies (gamete micro-manipulation and cryopreservation, in vitro fertilization/embryo transfer (IVF/ET) and contraception. Research that is directed towards developing new or enhanced technologies for clinical medicine or scientific research in reproduction is of significant interest to the Journal.
