Trials in Vaccinology is a new peer-reviewed online-only journal that will guarantee direct public access to the results of vaccine trials in humans and target animals, especially those of whose scientific novelty is not exceptional, and thus increase the transparency of current supportive scientific research in the field of vaccines. It will also provide opportunities for those engaged in these trials to gain recognition for their work and for those who use or comment on the value of vaccines to gain additional evidence to further hone their understandings.The objective of this journal is to be inclusive and supportive, and not to select only those trials that make innovative contributions to the field of vaccinology; these latter papers will find their home in the journal "Vaccine"http://www.elsevier.com/locate/vaccineTrials in Vaccinology will provide a facility that will enable both vaccinologists and those interested in the use of vaccines to gain insights and understandings of the breadth and depth of evidence that is available for the appreciation of the properties of a vaccine and its place in the healthcare and animal husbandry systems that are used in different countries and with particular cohorts of vaccinees.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology is an international journal which publishes authoritative articles encompassing the development of innovative uses of underground space and the results of high quality research into improved, more cost-effective techniques for the planning, geo-investigation, design, construction, operation and maintenance of underground and earth-sheltered structures.The journal provides an effective vehicle for the improved worldwide exchange of information on developments in underground technology - and the experience gained from its use - and is strongly committed to publishing papers on the interdisciplinary aspects of creating, planning, and regulating underground space. Towards this end, up-to-date reports of the International Tunnelling Association (ITA) working groups and important papers from major conferences sponsored by the ITA and other bodies are a regular feature of the journal.Incorporation of Trenchless Technology Research, which provides an international forum for the presentation and discussion of the latest research and developments in all areas pertaining to trenchless technology, widened the scope of TUST to cover the installation, repair, and renewal of underground pipelines, ducts, and cables while eliminating the need for continuous surface excavation. The techniques include pipe jacking, microtunnelling, auger boring, pipe bursting, pipe splitting, pipe ramming, directional drilling and steerable and non-steerable moling, together with all methods of relining and rehabilitation. The performance of newly installed and rehabilitated pipes equally lies within the scope of the journal, while the influence of trenchless technology on the surrounding environment is central to the debate on the subject. Publication of research dealing with the relative direct and social costs of traditional and trenchless pipe laying, with novel geotechnical applications of trenchless technology, and with locating and mapping of the existing buried utility service infrastructure is equally encouraged.
