Journal Guide

The Justice System Journal is an interdisciplinary journal that publishes original research articles on all aspects of law, courts, court administration, judicial behavior, and the impact of all of these on public and social policy. Open as to methodological approaches, the Justice System Journal aims to use the latest in advanced social science research and analysis to bridge the gap between practicing and academic law, courts and politics communities.

The Justice System Journal invites submission of original articles and research notes that are likely to be of interest to scholars and practitioners in the field of law, courts, and judicial administration, broadly defined. Articles may draw on a variety of research approaches in the social sciences. The journal does not publish articles devoted to extended analysis of legal doctrine such as a law review might publish, although short manuscripts analyzing cases or legal issues are welcome and will be considered for the Legal Notes section. The Justice System Journal was created by the National Center for State Courts located in Williamsburg, Virginia, and it has been published under the auspices of that organization since 1976.

The Justice System Journal features peer-reviewed research articles as well as reviews of important books in law and courts, and analytical research notes on some of the leading cases from state and federal courts. The journal periodically produces special issues that provide analysis of fundamental and timely issues on law and courts from both national and international perspectives.

KIVA is the leading refereed serial publication in the archaeology, anthropology, and history of the American Southwest and northern Mexico. Past issues have been devoted to such topics as: the pottery village of Mata Ortiz, Chihuahua; Anasazi origins; and the Archaic-Formative transition in the Tucson Basin. It is the official journal of the Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society (AAHS), the AAHS was founded in 1916 and it is a nonprofit, educational organization affiliated with the Arizona State Museum. It provides a forum for professionals in archaeology and related fields as well as the general public to share their common interests and enthusiasm for the Southwest’s rich cultural history.

Knowledge management is a term that has worked its way into the mainstream of both academic and business arenas since it was first coined in the 1980s. Interest has increased rapidly during the last decade and shows no signs of abating. The current state of the knowledge management field is that it encompasses four overlapping areas:*Managing knowledge (creating/acquiring, sharing, retaining, storing, using, updating, retiring)*Organisational learning*Intellectual capital*Knowledge economicsWithin (and across) these, knowledge management has to address issues relating to technology, people, culture and systems.Perhaps as a consequence of this diversity, the knowledge management literature is at present fragmented. Many of the most influential articles on knowledge management appear in journals in fields as diverse as information systems, general management, strategy, organisational sociology or human resources. The literature also often, somewhat misleadingly, presents the subject as split. Current examples of these "splits", which should rather be debates, include those between the "codification" and "collaboration" schools of thought, and between "Western" (meaning North American) and "Eastern" (meaning Japanese) approaches. The intention for this journal is not only to accommodate these and other perspectives, but also to seek common ground between them.

LIT: Literature Interpretation Theory provides a lively forum for fresh and forceful interpretations of a wide range of literary texts. LIT puts literary theory into action, publishing theoretical analyses that are both rigorous and illuminating. By transcending the boundaries of conventional categories of period, region, and genre, LIT aims to forge a conversation among divergent and often competing critical perspectives as well as literature from different periods and nations.Animated by diversity, LIT embraces the assumption that important insights may be generated within a multitude of theoretical frameworks. Essays informed by structuralism, post-structuralism, gender theory, new or old historicism, psychoanalytic theory, postcolonial theory, semiotics, Marxism, or any other coherent, well-defined theoretical approach might be found in the pages of LIT.While LIT's emphasis is on traditional literary texts, the journal also considers analyses of other kinds of cultural texts, including popular media such as film.The journal insists upon a clarity of language that makes it accessible to a more general reader as well as important reading for literary scholars.General issues are designed to offer a spectrum of essays on a variety of subjects, while special issues bring a range of critical perspectives to a more clearly defined topic.LIT aims to create a dynamic space for energetic, original, and compelling theoretical interpretations of texts representing the rich and multifaceted literary traditions and innovations that have emerged in the course of human history.Peer Review Policy:All articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by two anonymous referees.Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

Labour and Industry is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes research offering a multi-disciplinary perspective on the social, organizational and institutional aspects of work and industrial relations. The aims of the journal are to encourage debate and the exchange of views between researchers, to challenge the conceptual boundaries of work and industrial relations, and to contribute to the generation of new ideas by drawing on insights from diverse disciplines.
The journal encourages submissions from researchers reporting original and innovative research that contributes to the theory, practice and public policy dimensions of work and industrial relations. It encourages researchers to locate their contribution in the local context of a study, within the context of international debates, and in developments in the study of work and industrial relations.
The journal also encourages research teams to submit proposals for themed Symposia on new streams of research that stand to make a significant contribution to research.

Peer Review Policy

Lake and Reservoir Management (LRM) publishes original, previously unpublished studies relevant to lake and reservoir management. Papers address the management of lakes and reservoirs, their watersheds and tributaries, along with the limnology and ecology needed for sound management of these systems. Case studies that advance the science of lake management or confirm important management concepts are appropriate. Papers on economic, social, regulatory and policy aspects of lake management are also welcome with appropriate supporting data. Literature syntheses and papers developing a conceptual foundation of lake and watershed ecology will be considered for publication, but are not the primary focus of this journal. Shorter notes that add to an important and documented base of knowledge or that convey important early results of long-term studies will also be considered if the contribution is significant. All submissions are subject to peer review to assure uniformity and high quality in materials published by NALMS. Typical areas of study addressed in LRM papers include: * Assessment of lake resources, uses, problems and threats * Monitoring methods or programs and their implications for management * Ecology and management of invasive species * Evaluation of in-lake management approaches and impacts * Evaluation of watershed-based management approaches and impacts * Social and economic dimensions of lake management LRM functions as a record of advances in lake management and a resource for lake managers, researchers and policy makers. Papers must demonstrate relevance to lake management, integrate findings with current knowledge, apply sound study design and data analysis, and convey an important message clearly and concisely.

Topic areas include: * environmental design * countryside management * ecology and environmental conservation * land surveying * human and physical geography * behavioural and cultural studies * archaeology and history Landscape Research is the journal of the Landscape Research Group which is a registered charity established to advance education and research, encourage interest and exchange information for public benefit in the field of landscape and any related field.
