Journal Guide

The International Journal of Mechanics and Materials in Design features recent advances and original works in mechanics and materials engineering and their impact on the design process. The journal enables mechanical, aeronautical, civil, automotive, biomedical, chemical, and nuclear engineers as well as other researchers and scientists to stay abreast of the latest developments. Moreover, it enables them to exchange ideas concerning the use of mechanics and materials in design. Among the topics readers will discover are intelligent design, advanced materials in design, design analysis and optimization, experimental mechanics in design, and design case studies. These topics and more are explored in an integrated, highly focused and coherent format.

International Journal of Mental Health Systems is interested in receiving manuscripts on all aspects of mental health system development and reform. There is an urgent need to focus on the development of effective, appropriate, affordable and equitable mental health systems: IJHMS aims to be a home for research, debate and discussion in this area.

The journal provides a forum for international debate on mental health and addiction-related issues, and helps make sense of the effects of mental health and addiction on individuals and societies. It reports on current information and developments in mental health and addiction-related research, policy, phenomenology, literature, and treatment. The International Journal of Mental Health and Addiction offers broad-ranging coverage in such fields as psychology, sociology, anthropology, criminology, public health, history, law, and literature. The journal publishes feature articles, review articles, clinical notes, research notes, first-person accounts, letters to the editor, commentaries, conference reports, book reviews and abstracts.

International Journal of Minerals, Metallurgy and Materials (formerly known as Journal of University of Science and Technology Beijing) is an international journal devoted to publishing original research articles (and occasional invited reviews) on all aspects of minerals processing, physical metallurgy, process metallurgy, and materials science and processing. Coverage is well-rounded from minerals characterization and developments in extraction to the fabrication and performance of materials. The journal welcomes articles on the relationships among the processing, structure and properties of minerals, metals, and materials. Specific areas of interest are nano materials, new metallic materials, advanced ceramics, metallic matrix composites, functional materials and more.

Multi-disciplinary forum for research describing: basic clinical and applied studies in biochemistry, physiology, genetics and nutrition, molecular, metabolic, psychological and epidemiological aspects of obesity and related disorders.

nternational Journal of Oral Science (IJOS) provides comprehensive coverage on the foremost findings of basic investigations and clinical researches relating to oral science. IJOS seeks to publish original, high quality, peer-reviewed papers including research articles and reviews as well as short communications and case reports. Submission would be encouraged on all aspects and subspecialties of oral science. Studies on dental assistance and hygiene, education and training, practice management and marketing would also be considered for publication in IJOS.

International Journal of Parallel Programming is a forum for the publication of peer-reviewed, high-quality original papers in the computer and information sciences, focusing specifically on programming aspects of parallel computing systems. Such systems are characterized by the coexistence over time of multiple coordinated activities. The journal publishes both original research and survey papers. Fields of interest include: linguistic foundations, conceptual frameworks, high-level languages, evaluation methods, implementation techniques, programming support systems, pragmatic considerations, architectural characteristics, software engineering aspects, advances in parallel algorithms, performance studies, and application studies.

IJPE is an open access, peer reviewed journal publishing important clinical, translational, and basic research, which can support the academic goals of the worldwide pediatric endocrine community.

The International Journal of Peptide Research and Therapeutics publishes the latest developments in peptide therapeutics and high quality research covering all aspects of peptide science. The journal brings together in a single source the most exciting peer-reviewed work in peptide research, including isolation, structural characterization, synthesis and biological activity of peptides, and thereby aids in the development of unifying concepts from diverse perspectives.Coverage includes new advances in peptide drug delivery systems; application of peptide therapeutics to specific diseases; advances in synthetic methods; development of new procedures for construction of peptide libraries and methodology for screening of such mixtures; the use of peptides in the study of enzyme specificity and mechanism, receptor binding and antibody/antigen interactions; applications of such techniques as chromatography, electrophoresis, NMR and X-ray crystallography, mass spectrometry.IJPRT requests that all authors comply to

The International Journal of Plastics Technology aims to disseminate research advancements in the areas of Polymer/Plastics Engineering & Technology. The Journal covers research and developments in the areas of polymeric materials, blends & alloys, composites, nanocomposites, plastics processing, mould & product design, recycling and application development.

The International Journal of Politics, Culture, and Society welcomes original articles on issues arising at the intersection of nations, states, civil societies, and global institutions and processes. The editors are particularly interested in article manuscripts dealing with changing patterns in world economic and political institutions: analysis of ethnic groups, social classes, religions, personal networks, and special interests: changes in mass culture, propaganda, and technologies of communication and their social effects: and the impact of social transformations on the changing order of public and private life. The journal is interdisciplinary in orientation and international in scope, and is not tethered to particular theoretical or research traditions. The journal presents material of varying length, from research notes to article-length monographs.
