Ramazi O. Datiashvili (Editor-in-Chief), The State University of New Jersey
Mission:
To advance patient safety, improve surgical and procedural outcomes, and elevate the science of plastic and reconstructive surgery worldwide.
Vision:
APRS journal will function as a forum for clinicians and basic scientists to share information, communicate, and collaborate in search of solutions to significant clinical issues as well as be an exciting addition to the existing literature related to advances in plastic and reconstructive surgery.
Aims & Scope: Advances in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (APRS) is a bimonthly, international open access journal which publishes original high-quality research and reviews that highlight scientific and cutting edge technological advances in all areas of plastic and reconstructive surgery. APRS journal prioritizes publication of latest research, up-to-date and evidence-based information of basic plastic surgery knowledge in the light of innovations and new technologies as well as research approaches as applied to general plastic, hand surgery, peripheral nerve surgery, craniofacial surgery, microsurgery, breast surgery, aesthetic surgery, and reconstructive surgery.
APRS journal is dedicated to publishing high-quality peer-reviewed articles that cover a wide range of topics in reconstructive surgery such as functional impairments caused by burns; traumatic injuries, such as facial bone fractures and breaks; congenital abnormalities, such as cleft palates or cleft lips; developmental abnormalities; infection and disease; cancer or tumors and also addresses cosmetic core procedures including rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, facelift, cosmetic medicine; cosmetic breast surgery, to include breast reconstruction following mastectomy, breast augmentation, and breast reduction; body contouring and more new procedures and techniques.
The Journal will accept original clinical or laboratory research, operative procedures and comprehensive reviews on plastic surgery. Selected ideas and innovations, letters, techniques and case reports addressing the emerging trends in cosmetic surgery are considered as well. Significant papers on tissue engineering principles and stem cell applications in research and practice of plastic surgery as well as regenerative medicine and alternative medicine are also published.
We hope that strong criteria for the peer-review process, transparency of the editorial policy ensures the success of this journal, and we rely on continuing support of the scientific community in all aspects of the journal’s activity.

Investigative Forensic Sciences (IFS)

Peter de B. Harrington (Editor-in-Chief), Ohio University

Investigative Forensic Sciences is an international open access peer-reviewed scientific bimonthly journal which focuses on the broad spectrum of studies on basic and applied research methods, techniques, and technology that will advance forensic science pertaining to crime scene investigation. The journal emphasizes the notion of a contemporary approach to disseminating scientific and technical information and aspires to be a leading cutting edge medium that publishes latest research findings and current events shaping the field.

IFS journal aims at promoting forensic science research towards the development of highly discriminating, accurate, reliable, cost-effective, and rapid methods for the identification, analysis, and interpretation of physical evidence for criminal justice purposes.

Journal welcomes the submissions of all original research, Research articles; Review Articles: Technical Articles: Technical Note or Case Report; Short Communication: Letter to the Editor: rapid communications addressing the advanced and latest research developments in the field of forensic investigation.

Topics addressed include:
icon1Medicolegal death investigations, including forensic pathology
icon1Forensic psychology and psychiatry, including criminal profiling
icon1Forensic anthropology and the role of entomology in a death investigation
icon1Technology to detect and identify fingerprints, blood and body fluids, bloodstain pattern analysis
icon1Forensic analysis of questioned documents and computers
icon1Physical evidence collection and preservation techniques
icon1Firearm and ballistic, tool mark, tread impression, and trace evidence
icon1Contemporary case examples to demonstrate the application of forensic criminology
icon1Novel approaches to interpret forensic data

icon1Current forensic issues and their possible solutions

IFS journal encourages scientists, researchers, technicians all around the world to publish their work by providing a global open access platform for knowledge sharing by bringing evidence-based knowledge and upholding the high level of integrity and thus enhances the role in advancing public safety.
