Kansai-net is a LOCAL network concerned with everything is about the EVERYDAY LIFE and its aim is to make it easier and more enjoyable. In this view it is supposed to be very casual and the content of messages can be anything, e.g. looking for somebody to come along to Kabuki, to go for drinking, anouncements of parties, Sayonara sales, information about bargains, flat swapping, people for mountain biking, sightseeing, were to find a good english speaking dentist, are there any Russian scientists in the area or who show me around in Kobe in Sunday... This net is not censored at all, and everything is allowed, (no strict morality here!) but elegance and courtesy are demanded. Of course, this is a non-profit net and subsequently commercial advertizing is not allowed.

I hesitated to use the newsgroup to disseminate the following information but, on reflection, knew that I would want to know about a new journal with direct relevance to my research. However, if this posting offends anyone, I would appreciate their responding directly to me rather than by cluttering the newsgroup. Therefore, I would like to call your attention to a new journal "METHODS IN CELL SCIENCE"which is to be published by Kluwer Academic Publishers of Dordrecht, The Netherlands. I have recently accepted the position of Editor-in-Chief. Below are the Aims & Scope of the journal for your perusal. In addition, I am including the initial Area Descriptors which will be the areas under which prospective authors will submit their manuscripts. I am currently in the process of assembling the Editorial Board and hope to have it appointed within the next two months. ************************ AREA DESCRIPTORS: Biotechnology; Cellular and Molecular Toxicology; Cell Biology; Developmental Biology; Growth, Differentiation or Senescence; Genetics; Immunology; Infectious Diseases/Cellular Pathology; Neurobiology; Plant Biology and Virology. ************************ AIMS AND SCOPE: The aim of METHODS IN CELL SCIENCE is to provide _the_ forum for publishing the most up-to-date, cutting edge, methods developed during the course of cell science research involving vertebrates, inverte- brates, plants or single-celled prokaryotic or eukaryotic organisms. The research relevant to this publication is ordinarily conducted using in vitro systems rather than the whole animal or plant, an exception being research in which the animal or plant itself must be viewed microscopically. Manuscripts will also be accepted which describe the design or construction of equipment, media, or quality control procedures that are ancillary to cellular research. Descriptions of the subheadings used in the Table of Contents of METHODS IN CELL SCIENCE (found in the "Instructions for Authors") provide prospective authors with additional information about the subsections of the journal that would be most appropriate for their manuscripts. Manuscripts will be peer reviewed and will only be published in METHODS IN CELL SCIENCE if they provide sufficient detail to enable a researcher to successfully duplicate the method using only the protocol described in the manuscript. In contrast, methods published in most scientific journals, whose emphasis is different than that of METHODS IN CELL SCIENCE, often lack the details required for readers to do so without prior experience with the method or by consulting the author(s). All manuscripts submitted will describe methods original to the author's laboratory which either have never before been published or which were originally published as part of a research paper submitted to another journal. To be acceptable for publication in METHODS IN CELL SCIENCE, rewritten methods must now contain the original citation and all of the detail which could not be included in the original manuscript. A rewritten method, published in METHODS IN CELL SCIENCE, will provide an opportunity for the author to reach a wider audience. SPECIAL ISSUES will devote an entire issue to methodology involved in a specialized area of cellular research. Such specialized areas might, for example, include: Methods in Invertebrate Cell Clulture Research; Methods in Oral Streptococci Research; Research Techniques Involving Caenorhabditis elegans; Methods in Plant Molecular Biology; Molecular Genetic Techniques Using Zebra Danio or Drosophila or, etc. Editors of special issues will solicit, compile and review the necessary manuscripts to complete such an issue. Editors of special issues will often be invited to participate but authors interested in compiling such an issue should contact the Editor-in-Chief. REVIEW ARTICLES: Both mini reviews and full-length reviews, covering various aspects of developments in methodological approaches, equipment, media or quality control procedures related to cellular research will be accepted. Usually they will be invited, but authors interested in contributing such a paper should contact the Editor-in-Chief, describing the proposed review, before submitting a manuscript. A mini review will ordinarily span no more than four to five printed pages whereas full reviews may be ten or more printed pages. *********************** I do hope that you are sufficiently interested in the raison d'etre of the journal that you will join me in this enterprise by submitting manuscripts to it. I believe that this will not be just another journal (we probably have too many now) but will serve a definite purpose. The methods presented will be as complete as it is possible to write them. One should, by reading the paper, be "transported" to the lab bench in the author's laboratory and be following along as the protocol is demonstrated. I firmly believe that there is a place for this kind of presentation. One plan for the journal includes publishing in a "three-hole punched" format so that either the entire issue, or one or more of the methods can be placed right into the laboratory's methods notebook. This may be a possibility. Initially, the journal will appear quarterly, but I hope that with rising interest, it can ultimately appear bimonthly or even monthly. Please contact me at the address below if you wish to obtain an initial copy of the "Information for Authors" or if you are interested in a subscription to the journal. You may also direct your institution to do the same if they are interested in a subscription for the library. If your library currently subscribes to the "Journal of Tissue Culture Methods", they will automatically be contacted by the publishers as that journal will be replaced by METHODS IN CELL SCIENCE. Many of you have wanted to see a journal such as this one available and now I believe this has come to fruition. With the usual few delays in getting something new underway, METHODS IN CELL SCIENCE should be available at the beginning of the new year. I would appreciate receiving any comments you may have regarding this new enterprise (however, please respond directly to me rather than through the newsgroup) and, especially, your manuscripts and suggestions for Special Issues. ___________________________________________________________________________ Warren I.
