Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology presents multidisciplinary and dynamic findings in the broad fields of experimental medicine and biology. The wide variety in meeting proceedings it presents offers readers multiple perspectives on a variety of disciplines including neuroscience, microbiology, immunology, biochemistry, biomedical engineering and cancer research. Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology has been publishing exceptional works in the field for over 30 years and is indexed in Medline, Scopus, EMBASE, BIOSIS, Biological Abstracts, CSA, Biological Sciences and Living Resources (ASFA-1), and Biological Sciences. The series also provides scientists with up to date information on emerging topics and techniques.

Advances in Fuzzy Systems is an international journal which aims to provide a forum for original research articles in the theory and applications of fuzzy subsets and systems. The goal of the journal is to help promote the advances in the development and practice of fuzzy system technologies in the areas of engineering, management, medical, economic, environmental, and societal problems. Advances in Fuzzy Systems is intended to provide a rapid communication of fully refereed papers through the open access publication model, which will enable the journal to reach a far greater audience than traditional subscription-based journals.The areas covered by the journal include but are not limited to: Fuzzy subsets and systems theory and applicationsApproximate reasoningDecision theory and optimizationIntelligent controlNeural-fuzzy systemsFuzzy information theorySoft computing and uncertainty modelingFuzzy logic for machine intelligenceDatabases, business, finance and management, medical applications, expert Systems, image processing and pattern recognition and other such areas of interest.

Advances in Geometry is a mathematical journal for the publication of original research articles of excellent quality in the broad area of geometry.

The main focus of Advances in Gerontology are biomedical aspects of aging. The journal also publishes original articles and reviews on progress in the following research areas: demography of aging: molecular and physiological mechanisms of aging, clinical gerontology and geriatrics, prevention of premature aging, medico-social aspects of gerontology, behavior and psychology of the elderly. The journal was founded in 1997.
