Community, work and family are interconnected and central to everybody's life. The links between community, work and family have generated widespread interdisciplinary interest, which this journal draws together with a focus on theory, research, policy and practice. The Journal provides a forum for social scientists and practitioners to share experiences and ideas and debate current issues and controversies.The aims of Community, Work & Family are:to publish theoretical, research-based, policy and practical contributions in the growing area of community, work and family and their interfaceto provide an international forum for debate in the field and reflect the range of approaches to community, work and family in different contexts, by encouraging contributions from academics and practitioners from around the worldto foster the development of theory, research, policy and practiceto highlight the experiences of those members of communities, organisations and families whose voices are seldom heardto encourage critical examination of existing frameworks and practices to promote research which employs methods with the potential to lead to social action The Distinctive Nature of the JournalRecognises the contested nature of community, work and familyHighlights the perspectives of multiple stakeholders in communities, work organisations and familiesExplores dimensions of social and organisational changeIncludes voices which are often not heard and are 8216;hidden'Emphases research and practiceTargets academics and professionals and is interdisciplinary within the social sciencesReports research using diverse methods and with implications for policy and practiceEncourages new ways of thinking about diversity and equalityPromotes international debate and collaborationLegitimises reflexivity in research in practice Peer Review Policy:All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by two anonymous referees DisclaimerTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.

Part A: Molecular & Integrative Physiology of Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology deals with molecular, cellular, integrative, and ecological physiology. Topics include bioenergetics, circulation, development, excretion, ion regulation, endocrinology, neurobiology, nutrition, respiration, and thermal biology. Study on regulatory mechanisms at any level of organization such as signal transduction and cellular interaction and control of behavior are also published.The Journal receives editorial direction from all the major societies in the field (European Society for Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry,the Japanese Society for Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry, Canadian Society of Zoologists (CBP Section), the Society for Experimental Biology, the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology (formerly the American Society for Zoologists), the Australian and New Zealand Society for Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry, the South American Society for Comparative Physiology & Biochemistry, the Russian Physiological Society, and the Chinese Association for Physiological Sciences)Part B: Biochemistry & Molecular BiologyPart C: Toxicology & PharmacologyPart D: Genomics & Proteomics
Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology covers biochemical and molecular biology aspects of metabolism, enzymology, regulation, nutrition, signal transduction, promoters, gene structure and regulation, metabolite and cell constituents, macromolecular structures, adaptational mechanisms and evolutionary principles.The Journal receives editorial direction from all the major societies in the field (European Society for Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry,the Japanese Society for Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry, Canadian Society of Zoologists (CBP Section), the Society for Experimental Biology, the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology (formerly the American Society for Zoologists), the Australian and New Zealand Society for Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry, the South American Society for Comparative Physiology & Biochemistry, the Russian Physiological Society, and the Chinese Association for Physiological Sciences)Part A: Molecular & Integrative PhysiologyPart C: Toxicology & PharmacologyPart D: Genomics & Proteomics
Part C: Toxicology and Pharmacology is concerned with chemical and drug action at different levels of organization, biotransformation of xenobiotics, mechanisms of toxicity, including reactive oxygen species and carcinogenesis, endocrine disruptors, natural products chemistry, and signal transduction with a molecular approach to these fields.The Journal receives editorial direction from all the major societies in the field (European Society for Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry,the Japanese Society for Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry, Canadian Society of Zoologists (CBP Section), the Society for Experimental Biology, the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology (formerly the American Society for Zoologists), the Australian and New Zealand Society for Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry, the South American Society for Comparative Physiology & Biochemistry, the Russian Physiological Society, and the Chinese Association for Physiological Sciences)Part A: Molecular & Integrative PhysiologyPart B: Biochemistry & Molecular BiologyPart D: Genomics & Proteomics
Part D: Genomics and Proteomics. This section covers the broader comprehensive approaches to comparative biochemistry and physiology that can be generally termed as " -omics", e.g., genomics, functional genomics (transcriptomics), proteomics, metabolomics, and underlying bioinformatics. Papers dealing with fundamental aspects and hypotheses in comparative physiology and biochemistry are encouraged rather than studies whose main focus is purely technical or methodological.Comparative Biochemistry & Physiology, with its four sections, receives editorial direction from all the major societies in the field (European Society for Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry,the Japanese Society for Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry, Canadian Society of Zoologists (CBP Section), the Society for Experimental Biology, the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology (formerly the American Society for Zoologists), the Australian and New Zealand Society for Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry, the South American Society for Comparative Physiology & Biochemistry, the Russian Physiological Society, and the Chinese Association for Physiological Sciences)Part A: Molecular & Integrative PhysiologyPart B: Biochemistry & Molecular BiologyPart C: Toxicology & Pharmacology
Comparative Clinical Pathology (previously Comparative Haematology International) provides a source for the publication of reviews, research reports, technical notes and case histories covering all aspects of haematology and clinical chemistry in any species. The journal addresses itself to all scientists with an interest in the field of comparative clinical pathology: research institutes, toxicology and pathology laboratories, medical and veterinary colleges and practises, zoological institutes, universities and teaching hospitals. Comparative Clinical Pathology publishes papers encompassing the total spectrum of comparative clinical pathology including: classical haematology and clinical chemistry, cellular and organ physiology and function, toxicology, immunology, cell kinetics, haemostasis, haematopoietic and other malignancies, immunodeficiency states, molecular biology, immunophenotyping, bone marrow transplantation, enzymology, endocrinology, cytokines, haematopoietic growth factors, evolutionary medicine, cellular lineage, rheology, functional identification and biomarkers. Articles can incorporate: normal values, abnormal reactions, human, veterinary and zoological data, diagnostic and toxicological changes, experimental studies (both in vivo and in vitro) and new technology and its impact on diagnosis and disease control.
