Engineering and sustainable development are intrinsically linked. All capital plant and every consumable product depends on an engineering input through design, manufacture and operation, if not for the product itself then for the equipment required to process and transport the raw materials and the final product. Many aspects of sustainable development depend directly on appropriate and timely actions by engineers. Engineering is an extended process of analysis, synthesis, evaluation and execution and, therefore, it is argued that engineers must be involved from the outset of any proposal to develop sustainable solutions. Engineering embraces many disciplines and truly sustainable solutions are usually inter-disciplinary in nature. Sustainable solutions have not only an environmental dimension but also economic and social dimensions, thus extending the multi-disciplinary nature beyond engineering.The International Journal of Sustainable Engineering is predicated on the need for engineers to have access to a source of information and an opportunity to share, through publication, new ideas and solutions for sustainable development.Researchers from both academia and industry are invited to submit papers on their recent research into problems related to reducing the environmental impacts of engineered systems, processes and products. The International Journal of Sustainable Engineering also welcomes papers that include economic and social components that complement the engineering dimension, consider the management of sustainable engineering, or address the modelling of sustainable engineering solutions.Topics may include, but are not limited to:8226; Engineering design for sustainable development 8226; Sustainable technology innovation 8226; Life-cycle engineering 8226; Energy conservation and low-carbon manufacturing 8226; Sustainable power engineering and renewable energy technologies 8226; Waste minimisation, remanufacturing, reuse and recycling technologies 8226; Sustainable material development 8226; Sustainable packaging solutions 8226; Sustainable process engineering8226; Environmental management and ISO standards8226; Water engineering solutions for developing countries8226; Sustainable construction for the built environment8226; Product versus service paradigms 8226; Managing use and consumption 8226; Sustainable supply chain management 8226; Sustainable transport engineering 8226; Sustainable business models 8226; Engineering education for sustainable developmentShort CommunicationsResearch aimed at improving the sustainability of a product, process or system is dynamic and may produce valuable knowledge worthy of prompt publication. The Short Communications section of the Journal provides an opportunity for such prompt publication, covering all areas related to sustainable engineering.

The scope includes the examination of overall sustainability of any transportation system, including its infrastructure, vehicle, operation, and maintenance; the integration of social science disciplines, engineering, and information technology with transportation; the understanding of the comparative aspects of different transportation systems from a global perspective; qualitative and quantitative transportation studies; and case studies, surveys, and expository papers in an international or local context. Equal emphasis is placed on the problems of sustainable transportation that are associated with passenger and freight transportation modes in both industrialized and non-industrialized areas.

2010 Impact factor now 0.948 Modern systems are becoming more and more complex and sophisticated in their demand for performance, reliability and increasing autonomy. Historically, highly analytic and numeric based methods have sufficed, frequently simplifying the problem to allow analytical tractability. Many manufactured and natural systems (biological, ecological and socio-economic) cannot be adequately represented quantitively alone; qualitations and heuristics, linguistics etc., knowledge is frequently required within a common information-processing framework. A wide range of new theories, methodologies and techniques are required to 'enable' such systems, and thus engineering and integration to deal with these demands. The primary aim of the International Journal of Systems Science is to become world leader in the exciting and demanding field of intelligent systems engineering and its applications.

A peer-reviewed journal, IJTC provides an international forum for the study of urban tourism and tourism cities. The journal aims to be inter-disciplinary in its appreciation of tourism cities and tourism in urban areas.

The International Journal of Urban Sciences focuses on the urban experience in Asian countries. Published on behalf of the Institute of Urban Sciences, University of Seoul, it offers a forum for debate and research on the problems confronting Asian cities, such as urban sprawl, traffic congestion, housing shortage, environmental pollution, land speculation, sustainable development and Geographic Information Systems.

International Journal of Urban Sustainable Development aims to provide a forum for cutting edge research and rigorous debate for in-depth and holistic understanding of the complex inter-related environmental, social, economic, political, spatial, institutional and physical challenges facing urban areas. Its premise is that multi-disciplinary approaches provide the space for the range of disciplines and perspectives related to the full breadth of issues that affect urban sustainable development.The journal also aims to enhance knowledge and understanding of the two-way interactions between urbanization processes and patterns and environmental changes at the local, regional, and global scales. In addition to mitigation and adaptation concerns these also include related social and economic issues such as the impacts of globalisation and financial crises, evidence-based liveability versus utopian planning principles, restoring dignity to the marginalized beyond mere participation, environmental justice and sustainable resource utilisation. The Journal, thus, seeks to connect theory and practice in ways that are useful to academics, policy makers, community activists and professionals who are concerned with or engaged in building and governing cities in ways that enhance environmental viability and foster urban equity and well being and engender economic vibrancy and political accountability.International Journal of Urban Sustainable Development is fully peer reviewed. It publishes original research and review papers. It also includes important think pieces and position papers by prominent scholars and practitioners in the broader field of urban sustainable development. It has a global reach covering cities and towns of different sizes, cultures and economies in the North and the South. It strives to bring together views and experience from industrially developed, developing and transition countries for mutual learning. Authors from developing and transition economies are particularly encouraged to submit papers.DisclaimerTaylor & Francis make every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the "Content") contained in its publications.

International Journal of the Legal Profession is an academic journal addressing the organization, structure, management and infrastructure of the legal professions of the common law and civil law world.International Journal of the Legal Profession encompasses studies of the work, work practices, skills and ethics of the legal profession as well as the internal management of law firms and chambers. It also considers the methods and extent of provision of legal services. A range of socio-legal information is included involving inter-disciplinary interest from academic and professional lawyers, economists, philosophers, psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists and business academics interested in the world of law and lawyers.Major changes are occurring in the legal professions of America, Europe and Australasia. The profession has become much more open for study and accountability to the public and to government. Academic interest has grown over recent years and study of the legal profession is now well respected and represented within law departments. Scholars have begun to view law as an interesting area of study and lawyers, without any internal methodology for assessing and measuring their work or value, have welcomed the outside interest.International Journal of the Legal Profession considers these issues at an academic level, but also provides strategic solutions emanating from its literature. It is therefore of interest to theorists within law firms as well as academiaPeer Review Policy:All articles have undergone anonymous double-blind review by two or more reviewers.
