Human-Computer Interaction publishes articles that combine research theory and methods in computer science, cognitive science, social science, and design. HCI articles are the most extensive, in-depth investigations of important research issues in the field. HCI also publishes articles with novel perspective and methods. Special Issues in HCI are definitive collections on critical research areas in the field.User Science. HCI seeks to foster a scientific understanding of the cognitive behavior of computer users and the organizational and social impacts of computer use. HCI is concerned with the individual user, small working groups of users, and also the larger social and organizational context of user communities. Theoretical papers should deal with scientific models of user learning or performance or with social models of the user community. Empirical papers may range from controlled laboratory experimentation to field observation. Methodological papers should be analyze and study research methods.System Design. HCI seeks to foster rational discussion of and methods for the design of new computer systems and the evaluation of existing systems. HCI is interested in the range of issues all the way from user-interface design techniques to participatory design practices, and it is also concerned with the process of designing. Theoretical papers should deal with the design principles underlying a particular system or class of systems, or with the abstract structure and process of human-computer interaction. Empirical papers may assess existing or novel interaction techniques, or examine the design process itself. Methodological papers should be concerned with the application of design principles, the rationalization of design alternatives, or the role of empirical methods in the design process.The Instructions for Authors explains how to submit to HCI and how the editorial process works.Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

Identity is international and multidisciplinary in scope, and this cutting-edge journal provides a forum for identity theorists and researchers around the globe to share their ideas and findings regarding the problems and prospects of human self-definition. The unifying thread of these articles is "identity" in its various manifestations throughout the life course. The operating assumption is that people in many parts of the world are struggling with aspects of their identities and that many of these problems transcend national, political, and cultural boundaries, taking on global proportions.In addition to a focus on substantive theoretical and empirical analyses, Identity also welcomes policy discussions, program recommendations, and evaluation studies. Identity provides a forum in which theoretical analyses find practical applications in dealing with these global problems. Submissions are invited from all fields and from a full range of methodologies so as to provide multiple bridges, across nations and disciplines, between theory and research, and subjectivist and objectivist epistemologies. The intention is to provide a nonpartisan forum within which identity researchers from a variety of areas can communicate their findings and stay apprised of the findings of others, especially among those who use different technical languages.Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

Infancy, the official journal of the International Society on Infant Studies, emphasizes the highest quality original research on normal and aberrant infant development during the first two years. Both human and animal research are included. In addition to regular length research articles and brief reports (3000-word maximum), the journal includes solicited target articles along with a series of commentaries; debates, in which different theoretical positions are presented along with a series of commentaries; and thematic collections, a group of three to five reports or summaries of research on the same issue, conducted independently at different laboratories, with invited commentaries.

Infant Behavior & Development publishes empirical (fundamental and clinical), theoretical, methodological and review papers. Brief reports dealing with behavioral development during infancy (up to 3 years) will also be considered. Papers of an inter- and multidisciplinary nature, for example neuroscience, non-linear dynamics and modelling approaches, are particularly encouraged. Areas covered by the journal include cognitive development, emotional development, perception, perception-action coupling, motor development and socialisation.In addition, books for review and book reviews dealing with these areas can be submitted.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Instructional Science promotes a deeper understanding of the nature, theory, and practice of the instructional process and resultant learning. Published papers represent a variety of perspectives from the learning sciences and cover learning by people of all ages, in all areas of the curriculum, and in informal and formal learning contexts. Emphasizing reports of original empirical research, the journal stands out by providing space for full and detailed reporting of major studies. These include studies addressing learning processes, learning technology, learner characteristics, and learning outcomes. Regardless of the topic, all papers published in the journal make a contribution to the science of instruction by drawing out the instructional implications of new research on learning. Most years, Instructional Science publishes a guest-edited thematic special issue. Recent issues have explored cognitive load theory, networked learning, and web-based instruction.

This journal explores the cultural nature of human conduct and its evolutionary history, anthropology, ethology, communication processes between people and within -- as well as between -- societies. It integrates perspectives of the social and biological sciences through theoretical models of epigenesis. Integrative Psychological & Behavioral Science (IPBS) features articles that cover theoretical integration of ideas, epistemology of social and biological sciences, and original empirical research articles of general scientific value. IPBS covers the history of the social sciences as relevant for development of theoretical perspectives and empirical elaborations within the social and biological sciences. It integrates knowledge from many fields in a new synthesis of universal social science – overcoming the post-modernist fragmentation of ideas.
