(Press-News.org) Journal of EMDR Practice and Research (JEMDR), launched in 2007, is devoted to integrative, state-of-the-art papers about EMDR therapy. It is a broadly conceived interdisciplinary journal that stimulates and communicates research and theory about EMDR therapy and its application to clinical practice. The journal publishes articles on all aspects of EMDR therapy and Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) theory. JEMDR is co-lead by Jenny Ann Rydberg, MA, PhdD cand. (University of Lorraine, Nancy, France) and Derek Farrell, PhD, MBE (Northumbria, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK).

As a member of the Science Partner Journal program, JEMDR will publish on a continuous basis under a Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY). As an Open Access title, all articles are available to read on the journal website. The journal is currently indexed in PsycINFO, Scopus, and Web of Science (ESCI). JEMDR is currently accepting submissions through Editorial Manager.

“As Editors-in-Chief of JEMDR, we are delighted by our new partnership with the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS),” said Rydberg and Farrell. “This partnership puts our journal on a new trajectory toward growth and impact for EMDR therapy. Our ambition, as Editors-in-Chief, has always been to have a robust, scientific journal that is Open Access and ‘fit-for-purpose’ in capturing scholarly research activity from the entire international EMDR community. Our new partnership with AAAS will enable us to do this and assist us in widening the scope and reach of the journal to include articles on EMDR-informed interventions and the broader aspects of trauma capacity building.”

Bill Moran, Publisher of the Science family of journals at AAAS, commented “We look forward to publishing Journal of EMDR Practice and Research. The journal represents several firsts for the program as our first Psychology title and first collaboration with a US-based organization. The journal’s mission to publish the latest in EMDR therapy research and clinical applications exemplifies AAAS’s mission to advance science for the benefit of all. We are pleased that EMDRIA has chosen the AAAS Science Partner Journal program as its new publishing partner for Journal of EMDR Practice and Research.”

Study of deadly dog cancer reveals new clues for improved treatment

2025-01-21

Researchers at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine and the UF Health Cancer Center have identified a crucial link between a gene mutation and immune system signaling in canine hemangiosarcoma, a discovery that could lead to better treatments for both dogs and humans with similar cancers. The research focuses on hemangiosarcoma, an aggressive cancer that forms malignant blood vessels in dogs. This life-threatening condition is difficult to diagnose early, as tumors can grow silently before rupturing without warning, leading to emergencies. ...

Skin-penetrating nematodes have a love-hate relationship with carbon dioxide

2025-01-21

Key takeaways Globally, over 600 million people are infected with the skin-penetrating threadworm, Strongyloides stercoralis, mostly in tropical and subtropical regions with poor sanitation infrastructure. Infections are treated with ivermectin, but some nematodes are starting to develop resistance to this first-line drug. UCLA biologists have discovered that the nematodes respond differently to carbon dioxide at different stages in their life cycle, which could help scientists find ways to prevent or cure infections by targeting ...

Fewer than 1% of U.S. clinical drug trials enroll pregnant participants, study finds

2025-01-21

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — A new study by researchers from the Brown University School of Public Health found that pregnant women are regularly excluded from clinical drug trials that test for safety, raising concerns for the efficacy of these medications for maternal and child health. The study, published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, analyzed 90,860 drug trials involving women ages 18 to 45 from the past 15 years and found that only 0.8% included pregnant participants. ...

A global majority trusts scientists, wants them to have greater role in policymaking, study finds

2025-01-21

In what is considered the most comprehensive post-pandemic survey of trust in scientists, researchers have found a majority of people around the world carry widespread trust in scientists — believing them to be honest, competent, qualified and concerned with public well-being. Researchers surveyed more than 72,000 individuals across 68 countries on perceptions of scientists’ trustworthiness, competence, openness and research priorities. The results, published in the journal Nature Human Behavior, also showed the general public’s desire ...

Transforming China’s food system: Healthy diets lead the way

Research assesses how infertility treatments can affect family and work relationships

2025-01-21

Infertility is a problem that affects between 8% and 12% of couples of reproductive age worldwide – for some of them, the problem interrupts a life project, which is the desire to have children and build a family. Advances in technology and medicine have made assisted reproductive treatments possible, but they can be physically and psychologically draining for the couples involved, especially because of expectations of results that may not be achieved. The emotional impact of treatment is well documented in the scientific literature. ...

New findings shed light on cell health: Key insights into the recycling process inside cells

2025-01-21

A recent study from Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, India has revealed new details about how our cells clean up and recycle waste. This process, known as autophagy, is like a self-cleaning mechanism for cells, helping the cells stay healthy by getting rid of damaged parts and recycling useful components. The process involves formation of a vesicle called autophagosome, which encapsulates the cellular waste. The autophagosome then fuses with another type of vesicle called lysosome. ...

Human papillomavirus infection kinetics revealed in new longitudinal study
