ISSN 0003-486X · EMIS Electronic EditionEdited by:Charles Fefferman, Princeton UniversityPhillip Griffiths, The Institute for Advanced StudyRobert MacPherson, The Institute for Advanced StudyJohn N. Mather, Princeton UniversityPeter Sarnak, Princeton UniversityAndrew Wiles, Princeton UniversityThe Annals of Mathematics is published bimonthly with the cooperation of Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study. Founded in 1884 by Ormond Stone of the University of Virginia, the journal was transferred in 1899 to Harvard University, and in 1911 to Princeton University. Since 1933, the Annals has been edited jointly by Princeton University and The Institute for Advanced Study.

Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence presents a range of topics of concern to scholars applying quantitative, combinatorial, logical, algebraic and algorithmic methods to diverse areas of Artificial Intelligence, from decision support, automated deduction, and reasoning, to knowledge-based systems, machine learning, computer vision, robotics and planning. The journal features collections of papers appearing either in volumes (400 pages) or in separate issues (100-300 pages), which focus on one topic and have one or more guest editors. Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence hopes to influence the spawning of new areas of applied mathematics and strengthen the scientific underpinnings of Artificial Intelligence.

Now published by Elsevier, Annals of Medicine and Surgery is an online-only, peer-reviewed open access journal with a global outlook and focus on those training in medicine and surgery (postgraduate and undergraduate). AMS contains a mix of original clinical and basic science research, reviews, editorials, commentary, perspectives, debate, opinion, case reports and journal club reports.

The journal crosses the whole disease spectrum of medicine and surgery but does also have a special focus on the following areas:

• Patient safety
• Human factors, teamwork, communication and professionalism
• Quality improvement science and practice
• Evidence based medicine
• Implementation science – clinical evidence into practice
• Leadership and management
• Medical education, teaching, and training
• Public and global health
• Healthcare policy, delivery, commissioning, and resource management
• Use of technology and health informatics
• Clinical ethics and medical law
• Research and innovation – bedside to bench and back again – including applications like personalised medicine

The journal uses an author-pays model and charges a fee per article accepted for publication. Following payment of this fee, the article is made universally available to all on http://www.sciencedirect.comwww.sciencedirect.com and http://www.annalsjournal.comwww.annalsjournal.com.

Mathematical and Computational Applications (ISSN 2297-8747; ISSN 1300-686X for printed edition) is an international peer-reviewed open access journal on the applications of the mathematical and/or computational techniques published quarterly online by MDPI from Volume 21 Issue 1 (2016). 

Annals of Neurology publishes articles of broad interest with potential for high impact in understanding the mechanisms and treatment of diseases of the human nervous system. All areas of clinical and basic neuroscience, including new technologies, cellular and molecular neurobiology, population sciences, and studies of behavior, addiction, and psychiatric diseases are of interest to the journal. Topics covered include: • ALS • Ataxia • Atrophy • Autism • Basic Neuroscience • Brain Development and Child Neurology • Demyelinating Diseases • Epilepsy • Genetics • Lysosomal Storage Disease • Mitochondrial Dysfunction • Molecular Medicine • Movement Disorders • Multiple Sclerosis • Myopathy • Neurodegenerative Diseases (including Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, Motor Neuron Disease, and Dementia) • Neuroimmunology • Pain • Sleep Disorders • Seizures • Stroke • Translational Research, and more… Three new sections, NerveCenter, Discoveries in Neuroscience, and Open Forum and one new feature, Medical Hypotheses debuted in Annals of Neurology in 2006. NerveCenter is a lively and topical forum covering a wide variety of timely and important issues in the clinical neurosciences of interest to the clinical and academic audiences of Annals. Topics featured include: • NIH or government news • Changes in academic neurology around the country • New medically important discoveries • Biographies • Interviews • Coverage of educational issues Discoveries in Neuroscience highlights recent and important discoveries in basic neuroscience, and the implications of these findings for the Annals readership. The section will provide a brief synopsis of important publications selected by the editors from the general neuroscience literature. Advances in the understanding of genes, molecules, pathways, and systems that control fundamental nervous system functions will be highlighted, with an emphasis on those that are particularly significant, novel, or relevant to human disease. Open Forum provides a home for letters that respond to published articles in Annals (or elsewhere). Medical Hypotheses, the new feature, provides a forum for novel hypotheses. The editors encourage authors who wish to submit reviews or hypotheses to contact the editorial office in advance of submission. Reviews, currently published as Neurological Progress, have been extremely well received by the readership in the past. The editors plan to increase the number of Neurological Progress articles by striving for at least one overview article of this type each month.
