This is what I hear from colleagues across the whole of RELX Group: those working to further science and improve health, create Governance tools that reduce crime, strengthen the rule of law, and build communities. Our objectives in 2016 reflected these priorities. We created a disaster relief strategy so that we can quickly deploy our products and services to help people in need when a disaster strikes. We launched an Innovations in Health Information programme People to advance African-driven research that can improve medical practice with partners like Médecins Sans Frontières and the Epicentre Niger Research Center. We used our technological expertise to develop a new platform for the ADAM programme to make it faster and easier for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to find missing children. We highlighted the role for business in supporting the rule of law by building a We have a responsibility to use our Rule of Law Impact Tracker to explore the correlation between the Customers knowledge to benefit society.” rule of law and social and economic development. At World Travel Market, one of our flagship exhibitions, we spotlit the impact of Erik Engstrom Chief Executive Officer responsible tourism on communities around the world. We also set 2016 objectives on issues critical to the operation of our business. We focused on enhanced compliance activities to ensure the highest standards of governance; broadened our efforts to be a diverse and inclusive company; prioritised Community responsiveness to our customers in areas like quality and accessibility; facilitated community involvement across the Group, strengthening charitable partnerships and employee engagement; took further steps to ensure an ethical supply chain; and embedded challenging new environmental targets.

Clinica Chimica Acta is a high-quality journal which publishes original Research Communications in the field of clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, defined as the diagnosticapplication of chemistry, biochemistry, immunochemistry, biochemical aspects of hematology, toxicology, and molecular biology to the study of human disease in body fluids and cells. The objective of the journal is to publish novel information leading to a better understanding of biological mechanisms of human diseases, their prevention, diagnosis, and patient management. Reports of an applied clinical character are also welcome. Papers concerned with normal metabolic processes or with constituents of normal cells or body fluids, such as reports of experimental or clinical studies in animals, are only considered when they are clearly and directly relevant to human disease. Evaluation of commercial products have a low priority for publication, unless they are novel or represent a technological breakthrough. Studies dealing with effects of drugs and natural products and studies dealing with the redox status in various diseases are not within the journal's scope. Development and evaluation of novel analytical methodologies where applicable to diagnostic clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, including point-of-care testing, and topics on laboratory management and informatics will also be considered. Studies focused on emerging diagnostic technologies and (big) data analysis procedures including digitalization, mobile Health, and artificial Intelligence applied to Laboratory Medicine are also of interest.
