The Nature Reviews Disease Primers editorial team commissions top researchers — comprising basic scientists and clinical researchers — to write the Primers, which are designed for use by early career researchers, medical students and principal investigators. In each Primer readers can expect sections on epidemiology; mechanisms and pathophysiology; diagnosis, screening and prevention; management; and patient quality of life. The Primers are forward-looking, always ending with an Outlook section that outlines unanswered questions and the anticipated research trajectory over the next several years. They are carefully edited and contain figures drawn by our in-house art editors, making them an essential resource for teaching and learning. We'll bring you a new topic to explore each week so come back often!

Military Medical Research is an open access, peer-reviewed journal publishing cutting-edge findings on basic medical science and clinical research that is related to military medicine. The journal aims to translate the basic science research into the clinical practice and combine advances in civilian and military medicine, with a special focus on the modern military medicine disciplines and the leading progress in precision medicine and translational medicine.

This journal aims to offer expert review articles on the most significant recent developments in the interdisciplinary field of obesity research. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the treatment and prevention of obesity and the related spectrum of cardiovascular, endocrinological, gynecological, oncological, psychological, respiratory, and rheumatological conditions.     We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas across the field. Section Editors select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An Editorial Board of more than 25 internationally diverse members reviews the annual table of contents, ensures that topics include emerging research, and suggests topics of special importance to their country/region. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field.

JAMA Network Open is an international, peer-reviewed, open access, general medical journal that publishes research on clinical care, innovation in health care, health policy, and global health across all health disciplines and countries for clinicians, investigators, and policy makers. JAMA Network Open is a member of the JAMA Network, a consortium of peer-reviewed, general medical and specialty publications.

Papers submitted to JCI Insight should present a focused line of investigation that provides meaningful and impactful contributions to the understanding of the biology of disease or new therapeutic opportunities. JCI Insight articles may build on existing paradigms in the field or provide hypothesis-generating findings (see editorial). Examples of studies suitable for JCI Insight include, but are not limited to, human genetics research, new mouse models of disease, in vivo studies of disease mechanisms, precision medicine, clinical and biomarker studies, and studies that provide new resources for the biomedical research community. Studies should include a relevant in vivo model system and/or a primary human cell or tissue model.

Biomedical Journal publishes 6 peer-reviewed issues per year in all fields of clinical and biomedical sciences for an internationally diverse authorship. Unlike most open access journals, which are free to readers but not authors, Biomedical Journal does not charge for subscription, submission, processing or publication of manuscripts, nor for color reproduction of photographs. Clinical studies, accounts of clinical trials, biomarker studies, and characterization of human pathogens are within the scope of the journal, as well as basic studies in model species such as Escherichia coli, Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster, and Mus musculus revealing the function of molecules, cells, and tissues relevant for human health. However, articles on other species can be published if they contribute to our understanding of basic mechanisms of biology. A highly-cited international editorial board assures timely publication of manuscripts. Reviews on recent progress in biomedical sciences are commissioned by the editors.

Established in 1980, Zoological Research (ZR) is a bimonthly publication produced by Kunming Institute of Zoology, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the China Zoological Society. It publishes peer-reviewed original research article/review/report/note/letter to the editor/editorial in English on Primates and Animal Models, Conservation and Utilization of Animal Resources, and Animal Diversity and Evolution.

Frontiers in Medicine publishes rigorously peer-reviewed research linking basic research to clinical practice and patient care, as well as translating scientific advances into new therapies and diagnostic tools. Led by an outstanding Editorial Board of international experts, this multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, clinicians and the public worldwide. In addition to papers that provide a link between basic research and clinical practice, a particular emphasis is given to studies that are directly relevant to patient care. In this spirit, the journal publishes the latest research results and medical knowledge that facilitate the translation of scientific advances into new therapies or diagnostic tools. The full listing of the Specialty Sections represented by Frontiers in Medicine is as listed below. As well as the established medical disciplines, Frontiers in Medicine is launching new sections that together will facilitate - the use of patient-reported outcomes under real world conditions - the exploitation of big data and the use of novel information and communication tools in the assessment of new medicines - the scientific bases for guidelines and decisions from regulatory authorities - access to medicinal products and medical devices worldwide - addressing the grand health challenges around the world
