Journal Guide

Polar Biology publishes Original Papers, Reviews, and Short Notes and is the focal point for biologists working in polar regions. It is also of interest to scientists working in biology in general, ecology and physiology, as well as in oceanography and climatology related to polar life. Polar Biology presents results of studies in plants, animals, and micro-organisms of marine, limnic and terrestrial habitats in polar and subpolar regions of both hemispheres.

With an interdisciplinary and international focus, Policy Sciences encourages a diversity of perspectives. The editors especially welcome conceptual and empirical innovation, together with the potential richness and insight of comparative orientation. The journal offers articles that examine the normative aspects of policy sciences; conceptual articles addressing concrete policy issues; articles on particularly controversial pieces of analysis; opposing perspectives, including critiques and rejoinders on articles already published, which open the journal to an exchange of views rather than restricting it to pure presentation; and special issues that analyze specific topics in depth. Policy Sciences favors, but does not publish exclusively, works that either explicitly or implicitly utilize the policy sciences framework. The policy sciences are a distinctive subset within the policy movement in that they embrace the traditions of innovated and elaborated by Harold D. Lasswell and Myers S. McDougal. The policy

Political Behavior publishes original research in the general fields of political behavior, institutions, processes, and policies. Coverage focuses on conventional and unconventional political behavior of individuals or small groups, and of large organizations that participate in the political process such as parties, interest groups, political action committees, governmental agencies, and mass media. As an interdisciplinary journal, Political Behavior integrates a variety of analytical approaches across different levels of theoretical abstraction and empirical domain. The exploration includes economic perspectives in preference structuring and bargaining; psychological aspects of attitude, motivations and perceptions; sociological orientation of roles, group or class; or political stance in decision making, coalitions and influence.

Polymer Bulletin publishes significant advances in polymer science, including chemistry, physical chemistry, physics and material science. It aims to provide a meeting ground for researchers who daily encounter problems related to polymers and who welcome opportunities to share their discoveries in a most expeditious manner.Polymer Bulletin considers Original Papers (8 pages), Reviews (16 pages) and Featured Articles (12 pages) for publication.

Polymer Science is published since 1959 under the auspices of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The journal (Series A, B, C) presents original papers and reviews covering all fundamental aspects of macromolecular science. Contributions should be of marked novelty and interest for a broad readership. Articles may be written in English or Russian regardless of country and nationality of authors. Articles in Russian are published simultaneously in the Russian version and as a translation in the English version. All manuscripts are peer reviewed. Series A includes experimental and theoretical papers and reviews devoted to physicochemical studies of the structure and properties of polymers (12 issues a year).

The Journal publishes virtually useful engineering developments, which are related to the preparation and application of glues, compounds, sealing materials, and binding agents. The Journal publishes both theoretical and applied articles. The papers on the adhesion theory, ways of prediction of the strength of adhesive joints, methods of controlling their properties, synthesis, and methods of structural of calculations of glued joints and constructions are published in the Journal.Journal published mainly papers of the applied character. In addition, the Journal publishes original articles with the new scientific results, analytical reviews of the modern state of the field. Polymer Science, Series D includes papers from Russian journal Klei. Germetiki. Tekhnologii published since 2004.

Population Health Metrics is ready to receive manuscripts on all aspects of the measurement of health at the population level.

Population Research and Policy Review (PRPR) provides a broad, interdisciplinary coverage of population research, and offers an up to date and solid basis of information on the policy implications of recent research relevant to the causes and consequences of changing population size and composition.  PRPR is the only demography journal that publishes work using ethnographic methods, comparative-historical methods, discourse analysis, and others. Coverage includes demographic, economic, social, political and health research papers and related contributions which are based on either the direct scientific evaluation of particular policies or programs, or general contributions to advance knowledge that informs policy and program development.  The journal publishes top quality material of interest to professionals working in the fields of population, and those fields which intersect and overlap with population studies.Published six times a year, Population Research and Policy Review is the flagship journal of t

Population and Environment is the sole social science journal focused on interdisciplinary research on social demographic aspects of environmental issues.  The journal publishes cutting-edge research that contributes new insights on the complex, reciprocal links between human populations and the natural environment.

Population and Environment covers important international issues and embraces all the main fields in population studies and their environmental dimensions.  Quantitative, qualitative or mixed methods contributions are welcome.

Disciplines commonly represented include demography, geography, sociology, human ecology, environmental economics, public health, anthropology and environmental studies. Examples of relevant topics include:

Fertility and land availability, tenure systems * Mortality or morbidity and environmental, pollutant exposures * Migration and natural resource decline * Health, well being and environmental implications of development * Social stratification and natural

Portuguese Economic Journal aims to publish high quality theoretical, empirical, applied or policy-oriented research papers on any field in economics. We will inforce a rigorous, fair and prompt refereeing process. The geographical reference in the name of the journal only means that the journal is an initiative of Portuguese scholars. There will be no bias in favor of particular themes and issues.Officially cited as: Port Econ J

The purpose of Positivity is to provide an outlet for high quality original research in all areas of analysis and its applications to other disciplines having a clear and substantive link to the general theme of positivity. Specifically, articles that illustrate applications of positivity to other disciplines - including but not limited to - economics, engineering, life sciences, physics and statistical decision theory are welcome.The scope of Positivity is to publish original papers in all areas of mathematics and its applications that are influenced by positivity concepts. This includes the following areas.ordered topological vector spaces (including Banach lattices and ordered Banach spaces)positive and order bounded operators (including spectral theory, operator equations, ergodic theory, approximation theory and interpolation theory)Banach spaces (including their geometry, unconditional and symmetric structures, non-commutative function spaces and asymptotic theory)C and other operator algebras (especial
