Journal Guide

Journal of Computational Biology is the leading journal covering the analysis, management, and visualization of cellular information at the molecular level. The Journal publishes peer-reviewed papers focusing on novel, cutting-edge methods in computational biology and bioinformatics. Topics include:• Genomics• Mathematical modeling and simulation• Distributed and parallel biological computing• Designing biological databases• Pattern matching and pattern detection• Linking disparate databases and data• New tools for computational biology• Relational and object-oriented database technology for bioinformatics• Biological expert system design and use• Reasoning by analogy, hypothesis formation, and testing by machine• Management of biological databases.

The Journal of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry (JTCC) is an international interdisciplinary journal, aimed at providing comprehensive coverage on the latest developments of research in the ever-expanding area of theoretical and computational chemistry and their applications to broad scientific fields spanning physics, chemistry, biology, materials, and so on.With the proliferation of sub-fields in the application of theoretical chemistry and the explosion of applications in various scientific fields, it is difficult these days for us to keep up with all the new research developments in these cross-disciplinary fields. We hope this journal will serve as a major single source of information on the latest research that can be broadly defined to be in the general area of theoretical and computational chemistry.The journal publishes original contributions on broad aspects: from both the development of fundamental theoretical methodology and computational algorithm to extensive numerical applications to specific scientific problems ranging from gas-phase to condensed phase, and to biological systems. It covers general research areas broadly defined as quantum chemistry, chemical dynamics, statistical mechanics, and chemical biology.

This distinguished journal publishes articles concerned with all aspects of computational chemistry: analytical, biological,inorganic, organic and physical. The Journal of Computational Chemistry presents original research, contemporary developments in theory and methodology, and state-of-the-art applications. Computational areas that are featured in the Journal include ab initio and semiempirical quantum mechanics, density functional theory, molecular mechanics, molecular dynamics, statistical mechanics, cheminformatics, biomolecular structure prediction, molecular design, and bioinformatics.

The Journal of Computational Electronics brings together research on the full spectrum of modeling and simulation of modern electronics. It addresses optical, electronic, mechanical, and quantum mechanical aspects of the field. Research into the underlying mathematical algorithms and computational details is also highlighted. In addition, the journal examines the related areas of molecular and biological systems in which the thrust is on transport, mechanical, and optical properties. Lastly, the journal draws special attention to the advances and challenges arising from applications in multiscale problems. Specific areas explored include semiconductor devices, optical devices, process simulation, nano-electro-mechanical systems, mathematical approaches, correlated areas, and open quantum systems.

The Journal of Computational Neuroscience provides a forum for papers that fit the interface between computational and experimental work in the neurosciences. The Journal of Computational Neuroscience publishes full length original papers, rapid communications and review articles describing theoretical and experimental work relevant to computations in the brain and nervous system. Papers that combine theoretical and experimental work are especially encouraged. Primarily, theoretical papers should deal with issues of obvious relevance to biological nervous systems. Experimental papers should have implications for the computational function of the nervous system, and may report results using any of a variety of approaches including anatomy, electrophysiology, biophysics, imaging, and molecular biology. Papers investigating the physiological mechanisms underlying pathologies of the nervous system, or papers that report novel technologies of interest to researchers in computational neuroscience, including

Journal of Computational Physics thoroughly treats the computational aspects of physical problems, presenting techniques for the numerical solution of mathematical equations arising in all areas of physics. The journal seeks to emphasize methods that cross disciplinary boundaries.The Journal of Computational Physics also publishes short notes of 4 pages or less (including figures, tables, and references but excluding title pages). Letters to the Editor commenting on articles already published in this Journal will also be considered. Neither notes nor letters should have an abstract.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
