The official Journal of the European Peptide Society EPS The Journal of Peptide Science is a cooperative venture of John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and the European Peptide Society, undertaken for the advancement of international peptide science by the publication of original research results and reviews. The Journal of Peptide Science publishes three types of articles: Research Articles, Rapid Communications and Reviews. The scope of the Journal embraces the whole range of peptide chemistry and biology: the isolation, characterisation, synthesis properties (chemical, physical, conformational, pharmacological, endocrine and immunological) and applications of natural peptides; studies of their analogues, including peptidomimetics; peptide antibiotics and other peptide-derived complex natural products; peptide and peptide-related drug design and development; peptide materials and nanomaterials science; combinatorial peptide research; the chemical synthesis of proteins; and methodological advances in all these areas. The spectrum of interests is well illustrated by the published proceedings of the regular international Symposia of the European, American, Japanese, Australian, Chinese and Indian Peptide Societies. The Journal of Peptide Science publishes the bi-annual EPS Newsletter and sponsors the EPS Website http://www.eurpepsoc.com.

Journal of Personalized Medicine (JPM; ISSN 2075-4426) is an international, open access journal aimed at bringing all aspects of personalized medicine to one platform. JPM publishes cutting edge, innovative preclinical and translational scientific research and technologies related to personalized medicine (e.g., pharmacogenomics/proteomics, systems biology). JPM recognizes that personalized medicine—the assessment of genetic, environmental and host factors that cause variability of individuals—is a challenging, transdisciplinary topic that requires discussions from a range of experts. For a comprehensive perspective of personalized medicine, JPM aims to integrate expertise from the molecular and translational sciences, therapeutics and diagnostics, as well as discussions of regulatory, social, ethical and policy aspects. We provide a forum to bring together academic and clinical researchers, biotechnology, diagnostic and pharmaceutical companies, health professionals, regulatory and ethical experts, and government and regulatory authorities.

Journal of Pharmaceutical Analysis (JPA) is a peer-reviewed open access journal for original research articles, short communication as well as review articles related to all aspects of Pharmaceutical Analysis. JPA was launched in 2011, and published bimonthly by Xi'an Jiaotong University, with cooperation of the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association.Current areas of interest include, but are not limited to:• The new technique and method in Pharmaceutical Analysis• Analysis of traditional Chinese medicine (medicinal materials, patent medicine, prescription, injection)• Pharmaceutical analysis of complex system• Quality control and methods of biotech drug• Action mechanism and study their metabolisms in body• Quantitative and qualitative analysis in the drug screening process• Tracer analysis in molecular pharmacology• Quantitative analysis in biopharmaceutics• Clinical laboratory and bioanalysisAnalysis studies on small drug molecules, pharmaceutical solid materials (including biomaterials, polymers and nanoparticles), biotechnology products (including genes, peptides, proteins and vaccines), and genetically engineered cells are also welcome.

Journal of Pharmaceutical Policy and Practice (formerly known as Southern Med Review) is an open access, peer-reviewed journal. It provides a platform for researchers to disseminate empirical research findings, with the aim that people everywhere have access to the medicines they need and use them rationally.Journal of Pharmaceutical Policy and Practice encompasses all aspects of pharmacy whether clinical, social, administrative or economic, and provides a platform to researchers, academics and practitioners from around the world to share new evidence, concerns and perspectives.

It is the mission of the Journal of Physical Activity & Health to be the primary global outlet for information relevant to the science and practice of physical activity as it relates to health and health outcomes. The Journal of Physical Activity & Health (JPAH) publishes original research and practice reports as well as review papers. Of interest is work studying the role of physical activity as it relates to health as well as reports of efforts to increase physical activity on individual and community levels. JPAH is an interdisciplinary journal published for researchers and practitioners in fields of disease and injury prevention and control where physical activity may play a vital role. JPAH also devotes attention to original research and reports on issues related to physical activity assessment, surveillance and practice.

The Journal of Physiology and Biochemistry publishes the results of original research articles and minireviews on the different topics of human normal or pathological physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology and related fields.All fields of the physiology are covered, from the molecular to the global organism level. Special emphasis is placed on the integration of those levels in the whole-organism, with the specific contribution of the nervous and endocrine systems.The Journal of Physiology and Biochemistry also welcomes articles on nutritional studies or works related to the genomic or proteomic bases of the physiological functions.
