BMC Infectious Diseases invites submissions for a Collection on Surveillance and prevention in infectious diseases. This Collection focuses on the critical intersection of surveillance and prevention strategies for infectious diseases aimed at enhancing global health security. Submissions are welcome on topics such as surveillance methodologies, disease prevention approaches, and the integration of digital tools in public health responses.

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth is calling for submissions to our Collection on Mental health in pregnancy.

This Collection invites contributions that investigate complementary therapies for maternal health, focusing on their efficacy, safety, and cultural relevance. We welcome research on various topics, including herbal medicines, labor pain management, prenatal and postnatal care, and the role of midwifery and doulas. By highlighting the integration of these therapies into maternal healthcare, we aim to enhance understanding and improve health outcomes for mothers and infants.

International Microbiology invites articles on beneficial microorganisms and their applications in probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, postbiotics and functional foods. The Collection spotlights strain characterization, fermentation biology, host-microbe interactions and the mechanisms by which microorganisms and their metabolites contribute to human, animal and plant health.

This Collections welcomes all original research focusing on domestication and/or feralization, across the tree of life, welcoming integrative and multidisciplinary studies.

This Collection welcomes original research articles using behavioural, computational, and neuroscientific approaches to investigate risk-taking and impulsivity in decision-making.

This Collection invites research that integrates AI-driven medical imaging, interactive system design, and digital therapeutics for adaptive, patient-centred healthcare solutions.

With this collection, Nature Genetics, Nature Communications, Communications Biology, and Scientific Reports invite submissions that leverage ancient or modern genetic data to understand human population shifts or health.

With this cross-journal Collection, we invite manuscripts that highlight work related to advancing sustainable transport to shape the future of mobility.

This collection represents a timely and strategic opportunity to consolidate global knowledge and accelerate progress toward restoring and sustaining immunization coverage. By capturing the experiences and innovations of the BCU, it will contribute to stronger, more equitable immunization systems and improving health outcomes for children worldwide.

This Collection aims to provide a dedicated venue for high-quality research that advances computational and AI-driven methods for biological imaging while remaining grounded in real biological questions and datasets.

24-hour movement behaviours—physical activity, sedentary time, and sleep—are vital for early childhood health and development, interacting across the day to shape lifelong outcomes. The global SUNRISE Study examines these behaviours in 3–4-year-olds using harmonised methods, enabling cross-country comparisons. It reveals links to physical, cognitive, and emotional health, but gaps remain, especially in low- and middle-income settings, highlighting the need for equitable, evidence-based policies.

This Collection invites researchers to contribute to the growing field of surgical modeling and 3D printing. We seek studies exploring innovations in medical imaging and anatomical modelling that improve preoperative planning tools and additive manufacturing (i.e. 3D printing) technologies, which together support modern personalized reconstructive surgical procedures. We aim to enhance our understanding of how these technologies can improve surgical outcomes and patient care.

This Collection welcomes original research on the determinants of marginalisation in rural populations, as well as studies that advance our understanding of how to reduce inequalities and promote inclusion in rural settings.

In support of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDG 13 (Climate Action), BMC Plant Biology presents the Collection Circadian rhythms in plants and algae. The Collection highlights research on how circadian systems shape plant and algal responses to environmental change, including climate‑driven stress. It welcomes studies on rhythm–environment interactions, epigenetic regulation, and strategies to enhance crop adaptability, resilience, and performance.

Exploring cutting-edge techniques in community detection, this topic leverages network analysis and machine learning to uncover hidden clusters and patterns within complex systems and large datasets.

This Collection invites contributions that focus on digital solutions for adverse event tracking for adverse events overall, including in pharmacovigilance. We welcome research on topics such as using electronic health records to find adverse events, electronic reporting systems, AI applications in drug safety monitoring, and innovations that enhance clinical trial safety. By fostering knowledge exchange in this domain, we aim to improve the quality of data and ultimately safeguard patient healt

This Collection seeks to gather innovative research on image-guided robotic interventions, exploring the integration of advanced imaging techniques with robotic surgery. We welcome submissions that investigate various modalities, including MRI, CT, and ultrasound guidance, as well as their applications in interventional radiology. The aim is to advance understanding and improve practices in robotic-assisted procedures, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes and surgical precision.

BMC Medical Research Methodology is calling for submissions to our Collection on methodological advances for analyzing high‑dimensional biological data and large clinical datasets.

This Topical Collection focuses on modern statistical methods tailored for high-dimensional data, emphasizing theoretical advancements and practical applications. By exploring cutting-edge techniques and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, we aim to enhance our understanding and application of statistics in various fields, ultimately driving innovation and informed decision-making.
