The Electricity Journal
The Electricity Journal is the leading policy journal for the U.S. electric power industry. The Journal began publishing in July 1988. It was created because its founding editor and publisher, Robert Marritz, then a utility lawyer in private practice, was convinced that the electricity industry was moving on a fundamentally different track from the one it had traveled for most of the 20th century. He felt that electric utilities had lost the bedrock confidence of the public, largely as a result of their unsuccessful gamble with nuclear power. During this time, a small but growing industry of alternative suppliers generating power from natural gas-fired co-generation and renewable energy plants (wind power, biomass, hydro and solar), spurred by Congress's passage in 1978 of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act, were finding markets for their power. These alternative suppliers formed the vanguard of what has now proved to be a highly competitive business: selling power in large quantities at the wholesale level (for resale to end users).The Journal is now the principal print venue for those who are, with their ideas, forging the new shape and design of the electricity/energy industry. The component pieces of the Journal; articles, a news summary, features, letters and editorials; comprise a print version of a town hall meeting for the most thoughtful and influential people in the business:• Utility and independent power executives;• Federal and state regulators;• Consultants and lawyers;• Academics specializing in the field; and• Sophisticated customer and environmental representatives.Their continuing discussions about such matters as transmission access and pricing, energy trading, mergers and de-mergers, market power, the changing role of regulation, corporate strategy, and overseas investment are covered more cogently in the pages of The Electricity Journal than in any other print medium.Addresses to contact for other information.

Visual Resources
Special Issue - A Tribute to Helene E. Roberts 'Second Hand Images': On Art's Surrogate Means and Media - Part I: The Art Press and Photography Visual Resources: An International Journal of Documentation is devoted to the study of images and their uses. While images of architecture and works of art constitute its main focus, it also includes other subjects and contexts in a wide range of formats. Its scope delves into the past and looks toward the future, revealing how images have influenced the perception of art and how the interpretation of images conditions and enhances academic disciplines such as archaeology, history, and particularly art and architectural history. Visual Resources explores how visual language is structured and visual meaning communicated and also illustrates how picture collections are acquired, organized, indexed, and preserved. VR examines early attempts to document the visual, reports on the state of visual resources, assesses the effect of electronic technology on current and future uses, and provides a platform for reporting innovative ways to organize and access visual information - while aiming to increase the recognition and appreciation of visual documentation. Over the years, VR has published articles about verbal descriptions of art and architecture; copies, casts, and facsimiles; drawings, paintings, and prints; photography; library, archive, and museum collections; iconography; and computers and electronic imagery - and how these have functioned as documents of art and culture.

Webbia: Journal of Plant Taxonomy and Geography
The journal “ Webbia ” was founded in 1905 in Florence by Ugolino Martelli (1860-1934), a botanist well known for his studies of and contributions to the systematics of the tropical genus Pandanus and our knowledge of the Flora of Sardinia.In the XIX century Florence represented one of the most important European centres in Systematics and Phytogeography with several notable Italian botanists worth mentioning such as Filippo Parlatore, Teodoro Caruel, Eugenio Baroni, Stefano Sommier, Odoardo Beccari and Ugolino Martelli himself. Since 1842 Florence has been become the place where one of the most important herbaria of the world, was created: the Herbarium Centrale Italicum (FI). The herbarium was established by Filippo Parlatore (1816-1877), and most of the specimens described and/or cited in Webbia are still kept in it.In 1905, and as a consequence of this multitude of activities in Plant Systematics and Phytogeography, Ugolino Martelli established the journal Webbia - Raccolta di Scritti Botanici, firstly published annually in a single issue, and later twice a year.Webbia had been created in honor of Philip Barker Webb (1793-1845), a deep friend of Filippo Parlatore, who before passing away entrusted his personal herbarium and a library rich of old botanical books and publications to the Botanical Museum in Florence.Between 1905 and 1923 Webbia was irregularly published in 5 volumes of 7 issues and its publication stopped after the death its first developers, U. Martelli and O. Beccari. Only after the Second World war, in 1948, under the auspice of the biogeographer Giovanni Negri, and with the renewal of the interest in Plant Systematics and Phytogeography in Italy, as well as in the Mediterranean and African areas as well, Webbia was revived beginning from the volume 6 up to current issues.Soon, Webbia acquired an international role so as to be considered one of the most important and relevant Italian botanical journals. .

Critique
Critique: Journal of Socialist Theory is an independent, refereed, scholarly journal founded in 1973. It attempts to analyse contemporary society from a critical Marxist perspective. Critique takes the view that Marxism has been so degraded by the Stalinist period that much of what has passed for Marxism has ranged between incoherent nonsense and empty if complex scholastic schema. Since socialism in one country is a theoretical and practical impossibility, Critique rejected and continues to reject analyses purporting to show this or that country is or was socialist. Furthermore, Critique emphatically insists on the impossibility of an undemocratic socialism.The aim of Critique is to take part in the restoration of the earlier pre-eminence of Marxist thought by encouraging discussion around the political economy of contemporary capitalist and non-capitalist societies. For this purpose, it regards debate around methodology and as a consequence philosophy to be essential. Inevitably, contemporary political economy must also involve debate around the importance of historical events and so Critique encourages contributions of historical analysis.In short, Critique's aim is to publish theoretical work at various levels of abstraction from the most profound to that of analytical description in order to help provide the theory required for socialist change, which with the end of Stalinism is once more on the agenda.Book Reviews:For instructions and a complete list of books that are currently available for review, please click here. The Origins of Critique:Critique was founded in May 1973 following its first conference in London, at which some 500 people attended. In the initial editorial it declared that its aim was to analyse Stalinism based on the empirical reality, while rejecting an empiricist approach. It sought to discover the laws of motion applying to Stalinism. It rejected the imposition of schema on the analysis, usual both on the left and right. The journal became associated with a new school of thought critical of Stalinism and the Soviet Union, which argued that the USSR was neither actually nor potentially a mode of production. Articles made it clear that it could not last and that the market would be imposed but that it would fail. The theory has been amply borne out by events.In the second issue the editorial made clear "that we will follow the logic of our enterprise and publish articles on wider aspects of socialist theory, such as problems of the transitional period, the socialist mode of production etc." Debates on the decline of capitalism and the importance of Stalinism for capitalism led to contemporary discussions showing the greater instability of capitalism without the Cold War, the USSR and Stalinist parties. Critique became a more general journal of Marxist theory.DisclaimerCritique: Journal of Socialist Theory and Taylor & Francis make every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the "Content") contained in its publications.

Philosophical Magazine
The James Clerk Maxwell Young Writers Prize 'I feel deeply honored and humbled to have received such a prestigious award...[It] represents to me yet another proof that the scientific community does not overlook hard work and high research standards. Looking to the future, having received this recognition will certainly be a source of motivation for me to keep up doing quality research' - Dr Julian J. Rimoli (Georgia Institute of Technology, USA), 2010 winner For more information about past winners, their papers and for details on how to apply for the next $1000 prize go to the prize website The Editors of Philosophical Magazine consider for publication contributions describing original experimental and theoretical results, computational simulations and concepts relating to the structure and properties of condensed matter. The submission of papers on novel measurements, phases, phenomena, and new types of material is encouraged. Part A (Materials Science) carries papers where, in general, the phenomena and interpretation are on a microscopic or atomic scale, for example physical, mechanical and defect-related properties studied by techniques such as electron microscopy, indentation, differential scanning calorimetry and infrared spectroscopy. Part B (Condensed Matter Physics) carries papers where, in general, the phenomena and interpretation are on an electronic scale, for example optical and electrical properties studied by techniques such as electrical conductivity, magnetic susceptibility, nuclear magnetic resonance and photoemission spectroscopy. The above division is not binding and papers on quantum-related phenomena, even if on the atomic scale, are more likely to be classed as 'physics' and be published in Part B, whereas papers reporting optical measurements to characterize the behaviour of, say, glassy alloys as a function of composition will be considered as 'materials science' and appear in Part A. Philosophical Magazine Letters is the rapid communications part of Philosophical Magazine and publishes short and timely contributions in the same fields. Manuscripts are considered on the strict condition that they have been submitted only to Philosophical Magazine, that they have not been published already, and that they are not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Contributions to Philosophical Magazine must report original research and will be subjected to review by referees at the discretion of the Editors. By submitting a manuscript to Philosophical Magazine authors are agreeing that CrossCheck software may be used to screen their work for unoriginal material.

Papers dealing with radiation effects on metals will be considered but purely metallurgical papers are not appropriate.Papers dealing with radiation effects in R&D applications are also encouraged, for example: accelerator technology; electronics and opto-electronics; sensors; dosimetry and medical technologies; decontamination, food sterilization, plasma, fusion and fission devices and space research.All research articles published in Radiation Effects and Defects in Solids have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial screening by the Editor and refereeing by two anonymous referees.Taylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.

AStA Wirtschafts- und Sozialstatistisches Archiv
Das Wirtschafts- und Sozialstatistische Archiv ist eine Zeitschrift der Deutschen Statistischen Gesellschaft. Sie versteht sich als zentrales deutschsprachiges Organ für die Publikation wirtschafts- und sozialstatistischer Arbeiten. Diese behandeln substantielle Fragestellungen der Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaften mit einer Methodik, die Konzepte der klassischen Wirtschaftsstatistik mit modernen mathematisch geprägten statistischen Ansätzen verbindet. Publiziert werden methodisch fundierte, problem-orientierte Arbeiten. Im Vordergrund stehen Themen, die für eine breitere wissenschaftliche und auch außerwissenschaftliche Öffentlichkeit von Interesse sind. Nicht das mathematische Niveau ist für die Qualität einer Arbeit ausschlaggebend, sondern Originalität, substanzwissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisgewinn sowie die ökonomische oder gesellschaftswissenschaftliche Relevanz. Dies setzt nicht zwingend einen hohen Grad mathematischer Abstraktion voraus. Andererseits kann eine konkrete praktische Fragestellung schnell auf ein vergleichsweise hohes mathematisches Niveau führen. Besonderer Wert wird auf die Lesbarkeit der publizierten Beiträge gelegt. Das Wirtschafts- und Sozialstatistische Archiv will die Lücke schließen zwischen der Vielzahl rein methodisch orientierter meist englischsprachiger statistischer Fachzeitschriften und der allgemeinen deutschsprachigen Presse, insbesondere der Wirtschaftspresse. Publiziert werden Aufsätze,
• die statistische Probleme aus dem Bereich von Volks- und Betriebswirtschaftslehre, insbesondere der Finanzwirtschaft, sowie aus dem Bereich der Sozialwissenschaften behandeln,
• die wissenschaftliche Analysen von wirtschafts-, sozial- und bevölkerungsstatistischen Problemen liefern,
• in denen politische, institutionelle oder organisatorische Aspekte oder Qualitätsstandards der öffentlichen Statistik erörtert werden,
• in denen, die Rolle der Statistik in der Gesellschaft thematisiert wird,
• welche die Beziehungen zwischen Produzenten, Nutzern und Auskunft-gebenden einer Statistik untersuchen,
• die ethische Fragen der Statistik sowie Probleme des Datenschutzes behandeln,
• in denen Fragen diskutiert werden, welche den Berufsstand der Statistiker betreffen, insbesondere solche der statistischen Ausbildung,
• die einen Überblick bieten über den Forschungsstand in Teilgebieten der Statistik,
• die offene Fragen der statistisch-methodischen Forschung aufwerfen.
Ziel des Wirtschafts- und Sozialstatistischen Archivs ist es, ein wissenschaftliches Forum zu schaffen, das der gewachsenen gesellschaftlichen und politischen Bedeutung der Statistik angemessen Ausdruck verleiht.

Journal of Applied Communication Research
The Journal of Applied Communication Research publishes original scholarship that addresses or challenges the relation between theory and practice in understanding communication in applied contexts. JACR aims primarily to contribute to how people practice communication across multiple contexts. All theoretical and methodological approaches are welcome, as are all contextual areas. Of utmost importance is that an applied communication problem or issue is the motivation for the research. Submissions should be based securely in existing understandings of communication processes, informed by relevant theory, and should substantively advance our understanding of communication in practical settings. Of particular interest are studies that focus on contemporary social issues. Authors are encouraged to clearly and explicitly identify and describe the communication problem or issue early in the manuscript. Also welcome are reviews of recently published books, reports, or monographs relevant to applied communication and reviews of communication interventions or resources (particularly software and internet-based resources). Reviews should be 1,000-1,500 words in length. Those interested in reviewing should solicit the editor directly at jacr@colorado.edu About the National Communication Association (NCA): The National Communication Association is the world's largest professional association of scholars, educators, students and practitioners dedicated to studying and promoting effective and ethical communication. With more than 7,000 members representing every state in the U.S. and 25 other countries, NCA provides a wide variety of professional development opportunities, publishes and disseminates significant communication scholarship and advances the communication discipline through meaningful research, teaching, and service.
