Open-access-astrobiology-journals

In a research paper appearing in the current issue of this journal, Max Wallis and Chandra Wickramasinghe have raised the issue of life in the Kuiper belt objects. Hitherto nebulous images of Pluto have come into much sharper focus following the Incipient Horizon Spacecraft most proximate approach to this dwarf planet last month. Far from being a dead hard frozen world, Pluto has revealed the most astonishing set of features exceptionally low calibers of cratering, high mountains and smooth plains, and a network of surface cracks. The subsistence of pigments (colours), organic molecules including methane all point to subsurface biology, according to the authors. Bodies of waters tens of kilometres below the frozen surface could be maintained warm and liquid due to radiogenic heat sources augmented by the metabolic heat of microbial activity. Wickramasinghe told the journal. There is every denotement that the evolution of Pluto crust, including episodes of mountain building, was largely controlled by biology. When probing for life on other planets like Earth, some simplifying posits are utilizable to minimize the size of the task of the astrobiologist. One is the apprised posit that the astronomical majority of life forms in our galaxy are predicated on carbon chemistries, as are all life forms on Earth. Carbon is prominent for the unorthodoxly wide variety of molecules that can be composed around it. Carbon is the fourth most abundant element in the macrocosm and the energy required to make or break a bond is at just the felicitous level for building molecules which are not only stable, but withal reactive. The fact that carbon atoms bond yarely to other carbon atoms sanctions for the building of astronomically long and intricate molecules. The top online publishing journals publish articles which are cited as references by many authors in their work. Citations are important for a journal to get impact factor. Impact factor is a measure reflecting the average number of citations to recent articles published in the journal. The impact of the journal is influenced by impact factor, the journals with high impact factor are considered more important than those with lower ones. Indexing provides easy access of the article online. The international journals are among the best open access journals in the world, set out to publish the most comprehensive, relevant and reliable information based on the current research and development on a variety of subjects. This information can be published in our peer reviewed journal with impact factors and are calculated using citations not only from research articles but also review articles (which tend to receive more citations), editorials, letters, meeting abstracts, short communications, and case reports. The inclusion of these publications provides the opportunity for editors and publishers to manipulate the ratio used to calculate the impact factor and try to increase their number rapidly. Impact factor plays a major role for the particular journal.
