An overview of Journal of Land Use Science by the Editor, Richard AspinallThe study of the nature of land use and land cover, their changes over space and time, and the processes that produce these patterns and changes can be termed 'land use science'. Land use science is necessarily an interdisciplinary science since land uses are influenced by, and influence, environmental, ecological, social and economic systems through a complex series of natural and socio-economic processes, including management and decision making.Land use science, therefore, adopts an integrated approach that couples natural and human systems and fosters interdisciplinary collaboration between social, economic, behavioural, environmental, ecological, biological and atmospheric scientists. Land use scientists must also draw on a broad range of interdisciplinary scientific methodologies and enabling technologies.Potential areas for submission would include - the dynamics of change the integration and feedbacks between land use, climate, socio-economic, and ecological systems the resilience, vulnerability, adaptability and sustainability of land use systems the linkages of natural and human systems relationships between land use and land cover spatial and temporal scale issues accuracy issues evolving public and private land management questions and decisions new data and information and improved scientific bases for decision-making related to land use interpretation and communication of scientific knowledge for adaptive management of land use systems human responses to land use change explicit management of uncertainties and definition of the limits to applicability of land use change projections and other analyses, particularly as translated into decision support and participatory approaches Readership The Journal of Land Use Science will be of interest to those in a broad suite of disciplines including agricultural science, animal science, anthropology, decision science, ecology, economics, environmental science, forestry, geography, GIS, landscape ecology, planning, regional science, remote sensing, and sustainability science. ---Disclaimer for Scientific, Technical and Social Science PublicationsTaylor & Francis make every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.

The journal (under its former title Optica Acta ) was founded in 1953 - some years before the advent of the laser - as an international journal of optics. Since then optical research has changed greatly; fresh areas of inquiry have been explored, different techniques have been employed and the range of application has greatly increased. The journal has continued to reflect these advances as part of its steadily widening scope.Journal of Modern Optics aims to publish original contributions to optical knowledge from educational institutions, government establishments and industrial R&D groups world-wide. The whole field of classical and quantum optics is covered. Papers may deal with the applications of fundamentals of modern optics, considering both experimental and theoretical aspects of contemporary research. In addition to regular papers, there are topical and tutorial reviews, and special issues on highlighted areas. General topics covered include:*Optical and photonic materials (inc. metamaterials)* Plasmonics and nanophotonics* Quantum optics (inc. quantum information)*Optical instrumentation and technology (inc. detectors, metrology, sensors, lasers)* Coherence, propagation, polarization and manipulation (classical optics)* Scattering and holography (diffractive optics)* Optical fibres and optical communications (inc. integrated optics, amplifiers)* Vision science and applications* Medical and biomedical optics* Nonlinear and ultrafast optics (inc. harmonic generation, multiphoton spectroscopy)* Imaging and Image processingTopical and Tutorial ReviewsIn order to best provide optical scientists with the highest quality information on current research topics, Journal of Modern Optics publishes two styles of review articles: topical reviews and tutorial reviews. Topical reviews are aimed primarily at the specialist already working on the topic covered or in a closely related area. Tutorial reviews emphasize the basics and are aimed at a structured introduction to a topic assuming little previous background knowledge.If you are interested in writing a review article for the journal, please send a one page synopsis explaining its topicality and likely content to j.marangos@imperial.ac.uk . It will be considered by the Editorial Board and then may lead to an invitation to submit a full review.Special IssuesPlease note that Journal of Modern Optics has a general policy of NOT publishing full conference proceedings. The Journal only publishes Special Issues - on occasion, these may often overlap heavily with work presented at a specific conference on the topic of the Special Issue but we do not publish conventional conference proceedings. Contributions to Journal of Modern Optics Special Issues must report original research and will be subjected to review by referees at the discretion of the Editorial Office.Listed in Thomson Reuters Journal Citation Report Science Edition.
