Purpose and Intent of the JournalEvaluation and Program Planning is based on the principle that the techniques and methods of evaluation and planning transcend the boundaries of specific fields and that relevant contributions to these areas come from people representing many different positions, intellectual traditions, and interests. In order to further the development of evaluation and planning, we publish articles from the private and public sectors in a wide range of areas: organizational development and behavior, training, planning, human resource development, health and mental, social services, mental retardation, corrections, substance abuse, and education. The primary goals of the journal are to assist evaluators and planners to improve the practice of their professions, to develop their skills and to improve their knowledge base.Types of Articles PublishedWe publish articles, "special issues" (usually a section of an issue), and book reviews. Articles are of two types: 1) reports on specific evaluation or planning efforts, and 2) dicussions of issues relevant to the conduct of evaluation and planning.Reports on individual evaluations should include presentation of the evaluation setting, design, analysis and results. Because of our focus and philosophy, however, we also want a specific section devoted to "lessons learned". This section should contain advice to other evaluators about how you would have acted differently if you could do it all over again. The advice may involve methodology, how the evaluation was implemented or conducted, evaluation utilization tactics, or any other wisdom that you think could benefit your colleagues. More general articles should provide information relevant to the evaluator/planner's work. This might include theories in evaluation, literature reviews, critiques of instruments, or discussions of fiscal, legislative, legal or ethical issues affecting evaluation or planning.Special issues are groups of articles which cover a particular topic in depth. They are organized by "special issue editors" who are willing to conceptualize the topic, find contributors, set up a quality control process, and deliver the material. Often several editors share responsibility for these tasks. Suggestions for special issues are encouraged.Book reviews cover any area of social science or public policy which may interest evaluators and planners. As with special issues, suggestions for books and book reviewers are encouraged.

Evolution and Human Behavior is an interdisciplinary journal, presenting research reports and theory in which evolutionary perspectives are brought to bear on the study of human behavior. It is primarily a scientific journal, but submissions from scholars in the humanities are also encouraged. Papers reporting on theoretical and empirical work on other species will be welcome if their relevance to the human animal is apparent.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Experimental Cell Research promotes the understanding of cell biology by publishing experimental studies on the general organization and activity of cells. The scope of the journal includes all aspects of cell biology, from the molecular level to the level of cell interaction and differentiation.Experimental Cell Research publishes papers in the area of cell and molecular biology, and papers must provide novel and significant insights into important problems in these areas. Areas of interest include, but are not restricted to:- Apoptosis and programmed cell death- Cancer research- Cell cycle- Cell proliferation and differentiation- Cellular motility and migration- Cell-cell and cell-matrix interaction- Chromatin- Chromosome structure and dynamics- Cytoskeleton- Developmental biology- DNA repair- Epigenetics- Extracellular matrix- Gene regulation- Intracellular trafficking- Mammalian genetic models- Meiosis and mitosis- MicroRNA- Nuclear import-export- RNA processing- Signal transduction- Stem cell biology- Subcellular organizationExperimental Cell Research has partnered with Gastroenterologyhttp://www.gastrojournal.org/ to offer fast track review for certain articles. Articles rejected from Gastroenterology because of their strong biological focus may be directed to ECR for fast track review. Similarly, articles deemed too clinical for ECR and more appropriate for Gastroenterology may be fast tracked through Gastroenterology's review process. Both journals retain editorial independence and reserve the right to request additional changes, re-review, or reject manuscripts.

The primary goal of Experimental Eye Research is to publish original research papers on all aspects of experimental biology of the eye and ocular tissues that seek to define the mechanisms of normal function and/or disease. Studies of ocular tissues that encompass the disciplines of cell biology, developmental biology, genetics, molecular biology, physiology, biochemistry, biophysics, immunology or microbiology are most welcomed. Manuscripts that are purely clinical or in a surgical area of ophthalmology are not appropriate for submission to Experimental Eye Research and if received will be returned without review.Most manuscripts published are original articles describing new research findings. For review purposes the journal is divided into four sections: Aqueous Humor and Blood Flow; Cornea and Ocular Surface; Lens; and Retina and Choroid, each with their own section editors and a roster of Executive Editors that have expertise in these specialized areas.The Journal also publishes review articles, short communications, letters-to-the-editor, and methods papers. Full descriptions of each of these types of articles are detailed in the Guide for Authors.Research areas include:Production and circulation of ocular fluids and the dysfunction of these pathways underlying ocular diseaseAngiogenesis, neovascularization and regulation of blood flow in the eye in health and diseaseCell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, and biophysics of the eye or eye tissueDevelopmental and regenerative biology of the eyeHuman and molecular genetics studies of inherited eye diseasesGene therapy and neuroprotection targeted at preventing inherited ocular diseasesNeural and general physiology of the visual process

Experimental Gerontology is a multidisciplinary journal for the publication of work from all areas of biogerontology, with an emphasis on studies focused at the systems level of investigation, such as whole organisms (e.g. invertebrate genetic models), immune, endocrine and cellular systems, as well as whole population studies (e.g. epidemiology). The journal also publishes studies into the behavioural and cognitive consequences of aging, where a clear biological causal link is implicated.Studies aimed at bridging the gap between basic and clinical aspects of gerontology, such as papers on the basic aspects of age-related diseases, are welcomed, as is research orientated toward the modulation of the aging process.Manuscripts on social aspects of aging and reports on clinical studies do not fall within the scope of the journal.In addition to original research manuscripts, short reports, reviews, mini-reviews, commentaries, perspectives, meeting reports and opinions on controversial subjects are published."Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

The international multidisciplinary journal is devoted to the publication of studies covering the whole range of experimental research on disease processes and toxicology including cell biological investigations. Its aim is to support progress in the interdisciplinary cooperation of researchers working in pathobiology, toxicology, and cell biology independent of the methods applied. During the past decades increasing attention has been paid to the importance of toxic influence in the pathogenesis of human and animal diseases. This is why Experimental and Toxicologic Pathology meets the urgent need for an interdisciplinary journal felt by a wide variety of experts in medicine and biology, including pathologists, toxicologists, biologists, physicians, veterinary surgeons, pharmacists, and pharmacologists working in academic, industrial or clinical institutions.
