Magazine or journal--what is the difference? The role of the monitoring editor.

Abstract:

:Scientific communication, career advancement, and funding decisions are all dependent on research publications. The way manuscripts are handled by high-visibility, professionally edited magazines differs from the way academic journals evaluate manuscripts, using active scientists as monitoring editors. In this essay, I discuss the benefits that come with the involvement of active scientists. I enumerate the decisions a monitoring editor has to make, and how he or she goes about making them. Finally, I indicate ways in which authors can help to make the process a smoother and more positive experience.

  • Two high-yield complementary methods to sort cell populations by their 2D or 3D migration speed.

    abstract::The potential to migrate is one of the most fundamental functions for various epithelial, mesenchymal, and immune cells.

However, cell migration chromatography, the sorting of large...
