Subject: Focus on Quantum Effects and Noise in Biomolecules -- New
journal of Physics
Dear Professor Aspuru-Guzik
The Editorial Board for New Journal of Physics ( http://
www.njp.org ) has
identified the topic of "Quantum Effects and Noise in Biomolecules"
as a
subject for a forthcoming focus issue aimed at collecting a broad
selection
of original research articles from the leading experimental and
theoretical
groups in the field. As a member of an active group working in this
area,
we would like to invite you to contribute a paper.
This issue will form an extensive, open-access resource spanning the
areas
that today make up research in this exciting field. In a single
collection,
readers across the world will therefore be able to see the "state of
the
science" in these areas. For your further information we append
below a full list
of target authors for this exclusive initiative.
As editors, we are taking editorial responsibility for this
collection and
are asking for contributions to be submitted by 1st February 2010
(subject to some flexibility). All contributions should report new,
original results. In particular, we are not seeking review material
and in
the case that you do include some, it should be kept at a minimal
level. As
a guide, contributions should be of the order of 15 pages in length
(although there is some flexibility).
New Journal of Physics (NJP) is a free-to-read journal publishing
research
articles of outstanding quality across all fields of physics. The
journal
adopts a strict peer-review procedure to ensure high editorial
standards.
Publication is fully electronic and as such you are encouraged to
submit
any supplementary features (animations, tables of data, movie clips,
colour
etc) relevant to your results.
Because of its open access, NJP articles have outstandingly high
visibility
- every paper is downloaded hundreds of times within weeks of
publication
and the latest Impact Factor is 3.44. The cost of peer-review and the
publication process is financed solely by an article publication
charge.
Should your work be accepted for publication you will therefore be
asked
for this fee. Further details about NJP may be found at the journal
website
http://www.njp.org .
We are convinced that this issue will well represent the exciting work
conducted in this field and would like to thank you in advance for
considering this invitation. We look forward to your reply.
With best regards,
Professor Graham Fleming, Guest Editor
Professor Susana Huelga, Guest Editor
Professor Martin Plenio, Editorial Board
