Effective with the 2011 volume, this journal will be published in an online-only format. Complexity is a bi-monthly, cross-disciplinary journal focusing on the rapidly expanding science of complex adaptive systems. The purpose of the journal is to advance the science of complexity. Articles may deal with such methodological themes as chaos, genetic algorithms, cellular automata, neural networks, and evolutionary game theory. Papers treating applications in any area of natural science or human endeavor are welcome, and especially encouraged are papers integrating conceptual themes and applications that cross traditional disciplinary boundaries. Complexity is not meant to serve as a forum for speculation and vague analogies between words like 'chaos,' 'self-organization,' and 'emergence' that are often used in completely different ways in science and in daily life.

Concepts in Magnetic Resonance consolidates the lore of magnetic resonance into effective and easily understandable presentations for practitioners. The journal provides a forum for researchers to discuss fundamental aspects of magnetic resonance, both old and new, that relate to their research, but are difficult to include in a research paper. Such articles are clearly valuable to the larger magnetic resonance community in conveying an understanding of basic principles and are expected to be useful for instruction in research settings. Articles are expected to maintain the highest standards of scientific and educational rigor and substance. The target audience consists of advanced undergraduate and graduate students, laboratory technical personnel, scientists new to magnetic resonance, and to more experienced scientists who wish to broaden their comprehension of magnetic resonance concepts as the field grows and expands. Each article must not only be scientifically sound but must also have a pedagogical delivery.

Magnetic Resonance Engineering (MRE) is an international journal devoted to the publication of original investigations concerned with the hardware and software of the engineering and physics aspects of magnetic resonance instrumentation. Articles concerned with both clinical and analytical systems are within the scope of the journal. The target audience is those professionally concerned with signal transduction in magnetic resonance. This includes researchers from the academic, industrial, governmental and medical communities, who are involved in building new equipment or in modifying existing devices. Although the majority of the articles are likely to be related to medical applications, submission of articles containing non-medical or analytical applications is encouraged. When appropriate, a reasonable attempt should be made to make the articles comprehensible to engineers in other fields; for example, acoustic engineers and those engaged in all forms of communications.

An exciting new journal in the area of contrast agents and molecular imaging, covering all areas of imaging technologies with a special emphasis on MRI! Contrast Media & Molecular Imaging [CMMI] is a new journal providing an international forum for the expeditious publication of original scientific papers, reviews, highlights, surveys, and letters to the editors in the booming areas of contrast media and molecular imaging. The Journal is aimed at the academic, medical, and industrial communities, at the developers and users of these emerging and rapidly developing technologies, mainly in the areas of Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy, but also embracing all other in vivo imaging technologies such as x-Ray, PET/CT, etc. Molecular imaging articles will concentrate on the potential role played by MR Imaging and MR Spectroscopy at visualizing, at the molecular or cellular level, the physiology and physio-pathological processes in humans and in animals. Contrast Media articles will cover innovative work on all aspects of this field, such as the development of more sensitive agents, comparison of MR Imaging with other imaging modalities, and prompting of multi-modality approaches. Contrast Media & Molecular Imaging will devote particular attention to the following fields: synthesis, characterization, and applications of new magnetic reporters, search for new vectors, coupling strategies, in vitro as well in vivo evaluation of new methodologies and applications.

The journal publishes original research findings (and reviews solicited by the Editor) on the subject of the identification of markers associated with the disease processes whether or not they are an integral part of the pathological lesion.

This journal is designed to provide a forum for publications dealing with original observations in this developing field on any aspect of the general topic including: * Identification of new genetic or non-genetic markers (e.g., cell-surface antigens, serum proteins, intra- and extra-cellular enzymes, cytogenic markers and DNA-sequences) * Population studies of new and existing markers, designed to elucidate information on their normal distribution as well as that in disease states * Amplification of knowledge about existing markers * Family studies of markers in disease * New techniques for identification and/or isolation of important marker molecules * Use of monoclonal antibodies for the definition of molecular structures associated with disease markers * Identification of disease-associated abnormalities in DNA using recombinant DNA techniques, gene-cloning and DNA restriction enzyme fragment polymorphisms * Identification of markers identifying malignantly transformed neoplastic cells.
