Journal Guide

Preventive Medicine Reports is the sister journal to http://www.journals.elsevier.com/preventive-medicinePreventive Medicine, the well-established medical journal founded by Ernst Wynder in 1972.

Preventive Veterinary Medicine is one of the leading international resources for scientific reports on animal health programs and preventive veterinary medicine. The journal follows the guidelines for standardizing and strengthening the reporting of biomedical research which are available from the CONSORT, MOOSE, PRISMA, REFLECT, STARD, and STROBE statements. The journal focuses on:Epidemiology of health events relevant to domestic and wild animals;Economic impacts of epidemic and endemic animal and zoonotic diseases;Latest methods and approaches in veterinary epidemiology;Disease and infection control or eradication measures;The "One Health" concept and the relationships between veterinary medicine, human health, animal-production systems, and the environment;Development of new techniques in surveillance systems and diagnosis;Evaluation and control of diseases in animal populations.The journal encourages the submission of clinical and field-trial studies, particularly those related to new vaccines and other preventive measures. These studies, however, should follow the Consort Statement (http://www.consort-statement.org) or Reflect Statement (http://reflect-statement.org).Prevalence studies may be considered for publication, but only if the results are likely to be of international interest (i.e. it must be possible to generalize the findings using scientifically based approaches). For these studies, key considerations in the review process will include (but are not limited to): consideration of both animal-level and herd-level demographics in the sampling design; the study population's relevance to the authors' described target population; the potential for confounding; and how well the sample-size justification assures high precision. The sensitivity and specificity of non-perfect tests used must be declared; the true rather than the apparent prevalence must be presented.Submissions of reviews of relevant topics are also encouraged, but these should follow the systematic-review process addressed by the guidelines in the following two websites: http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/reprint/283/15/2008; http://prisma-statement.org.Preventive Veterinary Medicine does not publish studies on experimental development of diagnostic assays without the appropriate field evaluation. Guidelines for the evaluation of diagnostic assays are followed in the review process (http://www.stard-statement.org)).Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Primary Care: Clinics in Office Practice updates you on the latest trends in patient management, keeps you up to date on the newest advances, and provides a sound basis for choosing treatment options. Each quarterly issue (March, June, September, and December) focuses on a single topic in primary care. Topics covered include allergy and immunology, cardiology, adolescent health, endocrinology, ENT, gastroenterology, geriatrics, hematology/oncology, infectious disease, gynecology and women's health, nephrology, neurology, orthopedics/sports medicine, pediatrics, preventive medicine, psychiatry, rheumatology, and urology.

This journal provides a forum for scholarly work dealing primarily with probabilistic and statistical approaches to contemporary solid/structural and fluid mechanics problems encountered in diverse technical disciplines such as aerospace, civil, marine, mechanical, and nuclear engineering. The journal aims to maintain a healthy balance between general solution techniques and problem-specific results, encouraging a fruitful exchange of ideas among disparate engineering specialities.From time to time, review papers will be published to provide research and development oriented readers with state-of-the-art analyses of various areas of current interest. In addition, occasional papers of tutorial nature help enhance practice oriented readers' knowledge of the basic probabilistic and statistical techniques that are essential in present-day engineering practice design.In consultation with the editors, distinguished members of the probabilistic mechanics community may serve as guest editors for a special issue dedicated to a particular theme.Fields Covered:Aerospace engineering:• Damage-tolerant and durability design of aircraft• Load spectra characterisation• Random vibration of aerospace structuresCivil engineering:• Geotechnical applications• Natural hazards such as earthquakes, hurricanes, and waves• Stochastic fluid mechanics/hydrology• Structural response/control under natural hazardsMarine engineering:• Offshore structures response to wind-induced waves• Ship motion in a random seaMechanical engineering:• Fatigue design• Mechanical systems response/control• Vehicle vibration• Vibration isolationNuclear engineering:• Probabilistic risk assessment• Structural and equipment response to accidental loadsCommon to all disciplines:• Composite materials• Damage mechanics• Monte Carlo simulation• Random fields• Stochastic finite elements• Stochastic optimization• System reliability.
