Upcoming issues in 2015/2016 – Call for papers
With the publication of the first issue of the Photonics & Lasers in Medicine’s fourth volume, the editors-in-chief would like to express their thanks to all who have contributed to the journal, in particular the authors, issue editors, editorial board members and reviewers. Furthermore we are very grateful to those who have supported us in our work and encouraged us in our quest to create an international forum for the publication of latest research in the field of laser medicine and biophotonics.
On this occasion, we would like to renew our invitation for contributed manuscript submissions in addition to the special topics listed below. Photonics & Lasers in Medicine has a very broad and comprehensive scope. The thematic spectrum ranges from laser optical diagnostics to thermal, non-linear therapeutic procedures and applications, optical methods including light emitting diodes (LEDs), intense pulsed light (IPL), and organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), and last, but by no means least, clinical basic research for both humans as well as veterinary purposes. Photonics & Lasers in Medicine gives authors the opportunity to publish in-vitro, ex-vivo and more importantly, late-stage pre-clinical and early-stage clinical studies which often cannot find a place in the clinical specialist journals or in the technologically-oriented laser and photonics journals. We also welcome publications from the intermediate stages of technological development.
Upcoming special issues
Every issue of Photonics & Lasers in Medicine has a special topic edited by one or two issue guest editors who have expert knowledge in that particular field. This unique format, which is not found in any of the other medical laser journals, enables Photonics & Lasers in Medicine to cover a wide range of topics in medical laser applications and biophotonics and to demonstrate the presence or critical mass of sometimes even obscure indications and applications, as well as to allow new research group entries in the scientific work.
For the upcoming issues in the second half of 2015 and in 2016, we want to encourage authors to consider submission of original research contributions, review articles, preliminary research reports, case studies, short communications or technical notes especially on the following topics:
Medical dermatology
Submission deadline: April 3, 2015
Aesthetic dermatology
Submission deadline: June 1, 2015
Reports from the laser institutes
Submission deadline: August 21, 2015
Vascular lesions
Submission deadline: November 6, 2015
Regenerative medicine
No deadline as yet; articles may be submitted from now on
Fluorescence-guided resection
No deadline as yet; articles may be submitted from now on
Manuscripts in the English language are welcome and should be submitted via our electronic submission system at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/plm. More information and “Instructions for Authors” are available at http://www.degruyter.com/plm.
We are looking forward a wide range of submissions!
With our very best regards,
Dr. F. Frank
