Open access publisher BioMed Central, UK, has announced the addition of two more journals from the Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS) to its portfolio. The move follows the launch of DARU Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences in July 2012.
Journal of Diabetes & Metabolic Disorders and Iranian Journal of Environmental Health Science & Engineering have now published their first articles with BioMed Central. Both journals are published on behalf of the Tehran University of Medical Sciences, who also cover their article processing.
Journal of Diabetes & Metabolic Disorders seeks to provide a forum for scientific inquiry of the highest standard in the fields of diabetes and metabolic disorders. As well as an editorial by Editor-in-Chief Bagher Larijani, the inaugural articles include original research on the Anti-inflammatory effect of insulin in rabbits with hypercholesterolemia as well as an investigation into the relationship between antioxidant enzymes in red blood cells and body mass index in type II diabetes.
Edited by Simin Nasseri, Iranian Journal of Environmental Health Science & Engineering publishes work on all aspects of environmental health science, engineering and management including water pollution and treatment, air control, noise and radiation control, environmental biotechnology and nanotechnology and food safety and hygiene. The journal launches with original research articles on the natural gamma radiation dose rates in the Ardebil Province of Iran and the use of the aquatic worm Lumbriculus variegates to reduce sludge levels in wastewater treatment plants.
