Journal Guide

The Journal of Child & Adolescent Substance Abuse addresses the treatment of substance abuse in all ages of children. With the growing magnitude of the problem of substance abuse among children and youth, this is an essential forum for the dissemination of descriptive or investigative efforts with this population. The journal serves as a vehicle for communication and dissemination of information to the many practitioners and researchers working with these young people. With this singular mission in mind, the Journal of Child & Adolescent Substance Abuse provides subscribers with one source for obtaining current, useful information regarding state-of-the-art approaches to the strategies and issues in the assessment, prevention, and treatment of adolescent substance abuse. Also, clinical case reports and descriptions of new and innovative evaluation and treatment methods are encouraged. This enables the journal to provide a unique combination of clinical problems, solutions, and research findings to its readers. The journal is an interdisciplinary forum for the publication of information on clinical and investigative efforts concerning the assessment, prevention, and treatment of child and adolescent substance abuse. The primary focus is on the empirical study of child and adolescent substance abuse utilizing group comparisons, or single-case experimental strategies. The journal publishes clinical and research reports from a broad range of disciplines: * clinical and counseling psychology * psychiatry * family therapy * sociology * public health * rehabilitation * social work Case studies that are of special clinical relevance or that describe innovative evaluation and intervention techniques, reviews, and theoretical discussions that contribute substantially to our understanding of child and adolescent substance abuse are also published. Peer Review Policy: All manuscripts that are submitted to this journal to be considered for publication have undergone initial screening by the Editor. Almost exclusively, these manuscripts have been reviewed by up to three anonymous referees. Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

This innovative publication focuses on health care issues relevant to all aspects of community practice -- schools, homes, visiting nursing services, clinics, hospices, education, and public health administration. Well-researched articles provide practical and up-to-date information to aid the nurse who must frequently make decisions and solve problems without the back-up support systems available in the hospital. The journal is a forum for community health professionals to share their experience and expertise with others in the field. Peer Review Policy: All review papers in this journal have undergone editorial screening and anonymous peer review. Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

The Journal of Coordination Chemistry publishes the results of original investigations involving the physical and chemical properties, syntheses and structures of coordination compounds. Its scope may be defined as being concerned with the interactions of organic and inorganic ligands with metal centres. Material on applications of coordination compounds may be included when relevant. Short reviews of current research in coordination chemistry will also be considered for publication. In addition to full articles, preliminary communications of results (up to 1000 words) may be submitted. The journal intends to shorten considerably the time between receipt, acceptance and publication of such articles in order to provide a mechanism for speedy publication of preliminary accounts of original and significant findings in coordination chemistry. Short articles that lack urgency are also acceptable to the journal and will be published in due course, as long as the desire to avoid multiple publication is met.The Editor also welcomes review articles in all areas of coordination chemistry, including inorganic solid state chemistry, organometallic chemistry and bioinorganic chemistry, as well as applications to analytical chemistry, catalysis, industrial chemistry and materials science. Articles may focus primarily on the metal, the ligand or the application. Given the limitation in length for the reviews, two extreme cases can be envisaged. Topics of emerging interest should be developed fully from basics. Careful attention must be paid to the way in which the new area relates to the field in general. Reviews of well-established subjects should collect developments from the literature and take a critical view of recent activities. Books for review should be sent to the Editor, at the address here.All published research articles in the Journal of Coordination Chemistry have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two expert reviewers.DisclaimerTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the "Content") contained in its publications.
