Virtual and Physical Prototyping is moving to online only in 2011. We welcome authors to submit supplementary data sets, colour images, animation and videos to publish with your articles to enhance the content experience of the journal. Virtual and Physical Prototyping provides an international forum for professionals and academics to exchange novel ideas and disseminate knowledge covering the full range of activities related to the multi-disciplinary area of virtual and rapid prototyping. Areas of focus include but are not limited to: • CAD and 3D data acquisition technologies: fast geometrical modelling schemes, 3D digitising, X-ray tomography, photogrammetry, image-based modelling systems • Virtual environments: virtual engineering and manufacturing, virtual enterprise engineering, Internet-based product development, rapid prototyping simulation and optimisation, new methods for virtual prototyping • Rapid prototyping: advances in rapid prototyping technologies, bio-inspired routes for novel bio-manufacturing strategies, computer modelling of rapid prototyping • Rapid tooling and manufacturing: advances on material removal and addition technologies, research on new rapid prototyping technologies, micromachining, nanofabrication, high speed machine technology, small batch production methods, systems for the direct manufacturing of metallic and ceramic components • Advanced rapid prototyping materials, biomaterials for medical applications • Concurrent engineering: concurrent engineering in virtual environment, frameworks for information sharing, collaborative decision-making in concurrent engineering, concurrent design and manufacture All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees. STAR Taylor & Francis/Routledge are committed to the widest possible dissemination of its journals to non-profit institutions in developing countries.

The aim of International Journal of Visualization in Engineering, a fully open access journal published under the brand SpringerOpen, is to disseminate original and high quality research results on the visualization paradigms, models, technologies, and applications that have significant contributions to the advancement of all aspects of design and engineering. The proposed journal is devoted to scholarly research on improving all aspects of design and engineering (including civil, mechanical, manufacturing, industrial, aerospace, etc.) through the applications of visualization technologies. The journal is particularly interested in research that adds to the scientific understanding of the impacts that visualization technologies can have on the stages along the entire life cycle of a particular industry, for example, planning, design, construction, maintenance, and operations of constructed facilities.
The proposed journal provides, for the first time, an international and interdisciplinary platform and forum for researchers to present their findings, latest developments, and perspectives on future trends in visualization in design and engineering, covering relevant advances in the areas of computing, management, human factors, education, and social sciences.
mSystems® is an open-access journal that publishes preeminent work that stems from applying technologies for high-throughput analyses to achieve insights into the metabolic and regulatory systems at the scale of both the single cell and microbial communities. The scope of mSystems encompasses all important biological and biochemical findings drawn from analyses of large data sets, as well as new computational approaches for deriving these insights. mSystems welcomes submissions from researchers who focus on the microbiome, genomics, metagenomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, proteomics, glycomics, bioinformatics, and computational microbiology. mSystems provides streamlined decisions, while carrying on ASM's tradition of rigorous peer review.
