The Ikemi Award in BioPsychoSocial MedicineTo stimulate research in psychosomatic medicine and to enhance the submission of high quality manuscripts, BioPsychoSocial Medicine annually sponsors 'The Ikemi Award', which is presented to the recipient at the general assembly of the Japanese Society of Psychosomatic Medicine each year.

BIOLOGICAL RESEARCH (former title, "Archivos de Biología y Medicina Experimentales") is the official journal of the Chilean Biology Society. This journal, founded in 1964 and renamed in 1992, is a quarterly publication that covers the broad spectrum of experimental biological research.BIOLOGICAL RESEARCH is an open access journal which publishes original articles and invited reviews in the diverse fields of experimental biology such as biochemistry, cell biology, developmental biology, genetics, genomics, immunology, marine biology, molecular biology, plant biology, physiology, and systems biology. Upon special requests to the Editor, manuscripts outside of these fields may also be considered for publication, Manuscripts should be presented as full-length papers, short communications, or review articles (invited by the editors).In an attempt to continually improve the impact and competitively of this journal, manuscripts will receive immediate attention upon their arrival. The entire editorial board of Biological Research is committed to processing manuscripts rapidly. Submitted manuscripts will be critically refereed by at least two independent reviewers who are either members of the Editorial Board or ad hoc referees. Reviewers, experts in the area to which the manuscript pertains, will critically analyze the manuscript in a timely manner. Acceptance is based upon scientific content, originality and presentation of the material. Accepted manuscripts will be published within 3 months of their final approval date.The official abbreviation of Biological Research is Biol Res., and it should be used in bibliographies, footnotes, references and bibliographic strips. .

Biology Direct considers original research articles, hypotheses, comments, discovery notes and reviews in selected subject areas, and will eventually cover the full spectrum of biology. Subject areas already launched include: Genomics, Bioinformatics and Systems Biology - Edited by Eugene Koonin, Laura Landweber, & David Lipman Immunology - Edited by Neil S Greenspan & David R Kaplan Mathematical Biology - Edited by Marek Kimmel

Biology of Sex Differences, the official journal of the Organization for the Study of Sex Differences, considers manuscripts on all aspects of the effects of sex on biology and disease.
