The Scandinavian Journal of Management (SJM) provides an international forum for innovative and carefully crafted research on different aspects of management. We promote dialogue and new thinking around theory and practice, based on conceptual creativity, reasoned reflexivity and contextual awareness. We have a passion for empirical inquiry.We promote constructive dialogue among researchers as well as between researchers and practitioners. We encourage new approaches to the study of management and we aim to foster new thinking around management theory and practice.We publish original empirical and theoretical material, which contributes to understanding management in private and public organizations. Full-length articles (up to 8.000 words) and book reviews form the core of the journal, but focused discussion-type texts (around 3.000-5.000 words), empirically or theoretically oriented, can also be considered for publication.The Scandinavian Journal of Management is open to different research approaches in terms of methodology and epistemology. We are open to different fields of management application, but narrow technical discussions relevant only to specific sub-fields will not be given priority.All submissions and review processes for the journal are now carried out electronically through EES (http://ees.elsevier.com/sjm/). Reliability has always been our guideline, and EES enables us to further speed up submission and review processes and to offer authors an opportunity to make use of reasonable lead times in getting their work reviewed and published.What is Scandinavian about the Scandinavian Journal of Management?The Scandinavian Journal of Management was founded in 1985, and it has become a truly international journal where scholars from all over the world publish their work. The name of the journal signifies:1. Openness: Empirical inquiries driven by curiosity over the exotic nature of mundane organizational life predominate, often in the form of case studies using qualitative research methods. The journal remains open, however, also to more classical approaches in the field of management, but it is the task of the proponents of such approaches to prove their worth, rather than vice versa. Openness is also manifest in the broad thematic profile of the journal.2. Creativity: Openness relates to interdisciplinary innovation and novel ways of conceptualizing management-related phenomena. We encourage creative refashioning of existing conceptions of management, and the introduction of new meanings and nuances into well-known concepts and ideas.3. Reflexivity: Creativity needs to be based on serious consideration of the foundations of the research endeavor, and the epistemological and methodological underpinnings of the theoretical claims made through empirical inquiry. In brief, the role and impact of the researcher/s in research needs to be addressed and thought out.The Editorial Team of the Scandinavian Journal of Management seeks to embody these principles in running the journal. Being Scandinavian and Nordic is a state of mind. Our talent pool and audience is the whole wide world all those interested in innovative management research.Our Editorial Team consists of Editor Alexander Styhre and Associate Editors Christine Coupland, Martin Fougère, Monica Lindgren, Inger Johanne Pettersen, Per Skålén and Morten Thanning Vendelo. Within our Team, we maintain a decentralized editorial system where the associate editors will be assigned responsibility for individual manuscripts, which fall in their particular areas of expertise. Our Book Review Editors Tommy Jensen and Sara Louise Muhr run a section, which features reviews on recent books by well-known scholars, but also on more avantgarde or marginal works and on books published in languages other than English. We want to provide our readers with reviews on interesting books that other major journals are unlikely to cover.Beyond a constant regular inflow of quality manuscripts, special issues provide in many ways the extra spice for scientific journals.

As official journal of the Schizophrenia International Research Society (SIRS)Schizophrenia Research is THE journal of choice for international researchers and clinicians to share their work with the global schizophrenia research community. More than 6000 institutes have online or print (or both) access to this journal - the largest specialist journal in the field, with the largest readership!Schizophrenia Research's time to first decision is as fast as 6 weeks and its publishing speed is as fast as 4 weeks until online publication (corrected proof/Article in Press) after acceptance and 14 weeks from acceptance until publication in a printed issue.The journal publishes novel papers that really contribute to understanding the biology and treatment of schizophrenic disorders; Schizophrenia Research brings together biological, clinical and psychological research in order to stimulate the synthesis of findings from all disciplines involved in improving patient outcomes in schizophrenia.

Schizophrenia Research: Cognition is an international, peer-reviewed open access journal publishing articles on cognition in schizophrenia, broadly defined. The journal publishes original articles, concise research reports, brief reports, letters to the editor, and review papers. Submissions on all aspects of cognition in schizophrenia will be welcome, including clinical neuropsychology, neurocognition, social cognition, functional capacity, cognitive, affective, and social neuroscience, and aspects of everyday outcome as related to cognition. Articles that compare the impact of cognition and other influences on outcome in schizophrenia will also be published. Articles on descriptive characteristics, genetic influences, pharmacological and nonpharmacological treatments, and neuroimaging correlates of these aspects of cognition are welcomed. The journal will also consider submissions aimed at cognition in conditions related to schizophrenia and will also consider articles on cognitive functioning as a marker of vulnerability in various potentially at-risk populations. The journal is online-only and articles will be rapidly available after their acceptance.

Science & Justice provides a forum to promote communication and publication of original articles, reviews and correspondence on subjects that spark debates within the Forensic Science Community and the criminal justice sector. The journal provides a medium whereby all aspects of applying science to legal proceedings can be debated and progressed. Science & Justice is published six times a year, and will be of interest primarily to practising forensic scientists and their colleagues in related fields. It is chiefly concerned with the publication of formal scientific papers, in keeping with its international learned status, but will not accept any article describing experimentation on animals which does not meet strict ethical standards.Aims and ScopePromote communication and informed debate within the Forensic Science Community and the criminal justice sector.To promote the publication of learned and original research findings from all areas of the forensic sciences and by so doing to advance the profession.To promote the publication of case based material by way of case reviews.To promote the publication of conference proceedings which are of interest to the forensic science community.Scope:To provide a medium whereby all aspects of applying science to legal proceedings can be debated and progressed.To appeal to all those with an interest in the forensic sciences.

A publication of the French Society of Sports Medicine.Science & Sports proposes, on one hand, updates on medical, scientific and applied technical research in the different fields of sports and physical activities (internal medicine, traumatology, psychology, sociology, biomechanics, technology. And, on the other hand, it facilitates the transfer of knowledge and technology between the clinic, research and practice in physical and athletic activity.Articles are published in French or English.

Science of Computer Programming is dedicated to the distribution of research results in the areas of software systems development, use and maintenance, including the software aspects of hardware design.The journal has a wide scope ranging from the many facets of methodological foundations to the details of technical issues andthe aspects of industrial practice.The subjects of interest to SCP cover the entire spectrum of methods for the entire life cycle of software systems, including• Requirements, specification, design, validation, verification, coding, testing, maintenance, metrics and renovation of software;• Design, implementation and evaluation of programming languages;• Programming environments, development tools, visualisation and animation;• Management of the development process;• Human factors in software.• Software aspects of operating systems, system administration and network management.Special emphasis is given to recent trends in software development, such as software architecture, component-based software development and web-based software engineering. SCP is divided into four tracks. These are: (1) Concepts and methodology, (2) Formal techniques, (3) Experimental software technology, (4) Descriptive software technology.1) The conceptual track is open for methodological, philosophical and sociological studies on all aspects of computer software production and usage, including ethics.2) The formal track emphasizes the development and the pragmatic application of formal and semiformal techniques. Submissions which the editors consider mainly mathematical or theoretical in nature, with the preliminary consent of the authors, will formally be forwarded to the sister journal TCS.3) The experimental track is open for expositions on implementations of and experiments with novel programming languages, systems and methods. It must be emphasized that papers describing new software tools of relevance to SCP are welcome under the strict condition that the source code of the tools is open.4) The descriptive track deals with observational studies of current software development practices, reporting on new languages,systems and methods, including survey reports on the various themes.Special Issues:Science of Computer Programming welcomes Special Issues within its Scope either resulting from conferences or workshops or from dedicated editorial efforts.
