Welcome to an exciting new era in neurological care. Our upcoming Special Collection in SAGE Open Medicine, "Advances in Personalized Neurological Interventions: Bridging Transdisciplinary Insights," aims to be at the forefront of this evolution. We're at a unique point where advanced research intertwines with collaborative insights, and your contribution is crucial.
Read MoreWhile Sub-Saharan Africa has experienced impressive gains in economic growth in past decades, other aspects of the region’s development are lagging. Women and adolescents carry much of the burden as they experience critical gaps, particularly in the areas of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR).
Read MoreThe climate crisis is intensely emotional: many of us feel anxious about the future and frustrated at the lack of adequate political action. At the same time, we may be hopeful that we can avert the worst of the projected outcomes and maybe even feel excited at the prospect of building a better world. Yet despite the clear links between emotions and sustainability, scientific knowledge is lacking on how emotions shape and are shaped by the climate and biodiversity crises, and how our emotions relate to pro-environmental behaviour.
Read MoreIn the ever-evolving landscape of technological advancements, one concept has captured the imagination and potential for transformative change: artificial intelligence. This groundbreaking development in information and communication technology has become the catalyst for what we now recognize as intelligent manufacturing. Gone are the days when the performance of modern machine tools relied solely on the operator's theoretical and experimental knowledge. Instead, a new era has dawned, characterized by intelligent behaviors that seamlessly integrate sensing, simulating, modeling, controlling, and monitoring processes. This metamorphosis has given rise to intelligent manufacturing, which outshines its traditional counterpart in ways previously thought unimaginable.
Read MoreIt is with great pleasure that we introduce our "Special Collection on Learning from the Past: Using History to Enhance Public Health Practice and Policy." This collection will bring together historians of health with practitioners of public health and health policy, to find ways for past experiments and experiences to benefit the health of populations today
Read MoreIn the ever-evolving landscape of medical research, there are areas that often remain in the shadows, waiting for dedicated attention and innovative solutions. Genitourinary cancers, a complex and diverse group of malignancies, are a prime example of this. This is why Dr. Rezazadeh and are proud to introduce our Special Collection aimed at shedding light on rare genitourinary cancers and driving forward the quest for improved patient outcomes.
Read MoreSuccessful completion of a Special Collection as a Guest Editor is a significant achievement. It is also a wonderful opportunity to learn about the editorial process. Being a Guest Editor will help to reinforce and grow your research network.
Completing a Special Collection can be a time-consuming experience and a difficult process to initiate. The Technology in Cancer Research & Treatment (TCRT) editor team supports Guest Editors from start to finish with tools, guidelines, and dedicated promotions via email and social media. To help prepare to be a Guest Editor, here are some tips for taking the initial step with our journal, preparing the Special Collection proposal.
Read MoreBeing a Guest Editor of a Special Collection can be a rewarding and valuable experience that offers numerous benefits for both personal and professional development. In addition to increasing visibility and recognition in the field, a Special Collection can provide you with the opportunity to expand your network, as well as to shape the content and direction of the field and journal.
Read MoreIn the world of academia and research, journals are often viewed as the "Bad Guys" - they make authors jump through hoops, charge them for publishing their work, and often seem more concerned with profits than advancing the field. So why would anyone voluntarily sign up to work with them as an Associate Editor? In this blog post, Ian Davis, associate editor with Therapeutic Advances in Medical Oncology explores the idea that not all journals are created equal, and some genuinely care about advancing the field, giving opportunities to early career researchers, and ensuring high-quality publications.
Read MoreAntibody drug conjugates (ADCs) are currently one of the fastest growing directions in tumor treatment, and great progress has been made in the areas of breast cancer, other solid tumors (such as gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer), and hematological malignancies. To help drive this research, a group of world-renowned oncologists have joined together to launch a Special Collection with Clinical Medicine Insights: Oncology entitled “A Novel Strategy for Treatment of Cancer: Antibody Drug Conjugates”.
Read MoreIt is with great pleasure that we introduce this Special Collection of scientific manuscripts titled "Advancing and Innovating in the Era of PSMA Theranostics". This collection brings together leading scientists from diverse disciplines to present new original scientific manuscripts and review articles on the latest developments in PSMA theranostics.
Read MoreMenstruation is a natural biological occurrence that occurs among half the world’s population yet common menstrual experiences are rarely discussed and are often under-researched. Given that the average menstruator will have 450 periods in their lifetime – or 3500 days of their life bleeding – those of us in the menstrual research community seek to improve the experience of all menstruators. Here, I describe four broad areas of menstrual health research that warrant future work.
Read MoreWe spoke to Dr. Liu to hear more about why he decided to launch a Special Collection with Technology in Cancer Research & Treatment and how he found the experience.
Read MoreToday on International Epilepsy Day we are opening this special collection - Therapeutic roadmaps in rare epilepsies. This collection will feature articles that showcase how rare epilepsy patient advocacy organizations have taken a strategic leading role in helping to accelerate therapy development for their conditions.
Read MoreSpecial Collections have become an essential part of modern journal publishing. They facilitate the timely collation of complementary articles in important areas of research. The key to writing a winning proposal is to make sure it contains all the information that the Journal Editorial Team needs to evaluate and accept it for launch. Here is some practical advice on how to prepare each of the key elements of your proposal.
