Footwear Science publishes reports of original research in the disciplines of biomechanics, ergonomics, physiology, clinical science, kinanthropometry, physics, engineering and mathematics. The use of footwear or footwear components, or application of the results to footwear is a major component of the research published in this international, peer-reviewed Journal. Methodological as well as experimental papers may be submitted, and the journal accepts original articles, reviews and perspective articles (usually by editorial invitation only), book reviews and letters to the Editor. The criteria for acceptance of manuscripts include: scientific excellence and rigor, novelty, significance, clarity, conciseness and interest to our broad readership. Papers published in the journal may cover a wide range of topics within the broad scope of footwear science, including, but not limited to: * Influence of footwear on kinematics and kinetics of human movement * Influence of footwear and footwear design on human performance * Applications of research to design of all types of functional and purpose-built footwear * Research applied to casual, dress, fashion, duty, athletic, and specialty footwear * Footwear in prevention and treatment of diseases of lower extremity * Role of footwear in the prevention and treatment of athletic injury * Shoe properties and human perceptions * Human factors applied to fit and function of footwear * Measurement of footwear biomechanical and physical properties Review Articles Footwear Science accepts submission of manuscripts that review the literature on a particular topic and present an analysis of the current status of that topic. These are not original research articles with new data but represent well-balanced summaries of timely subjects, with reference to the literature. Review articles are usually invited by the Editor-in-Chief, although they can be submitted unsolicited. All review articles, even if invited, are peer reviewed. To help to facilitate this process it is suggested that the author of the review contact the Editor-in-Chief in advance of submission to discuss the proposed topic. The required format for review articles is similar to that used for research articles, with the exception that headings such as 'Methodolgy,' 'Results and Discussion,' and 'Conclusions' should be replaced with more appropriate headings, consistent with the contents of the article. Review articles published by Footwear Science are intended primarily for informed scientists who works in the broad disciplines that encompass footwear science, for example: biomechanics, ergonomics, physiology, clinical science, kinanthropometry, physics, engineering, materials science, and mathematics.. Manuscripts should both present a summary and a critical evaluation of significant investigations and provide suggestions for further research. We also welcome reviews that discuss recent technical or theoretical advances, topics of unusual interest, or, core questions about the foundations of footwear science. Theoretical papers should clearly identify the focus of study, review the relevant literature, and develop approaches to new levels of understanding. We are always looking for a balanced approach in Footwear Science review articles. Whenever possible the author should include all relevant literature showing the broadest possible basis for the review and the author's perspectives. Although the main thrust of reviews should be to summarize what is known about a particular topic area based on a rigorous review of the scientific literature, we expect that review authors may wish to offer some opinion and give a perspective, or, perhaps even speculate, if such speculation has a basis in scientific evidence. An abstract of 200 to 250 words is required; for more information on format, see instructions for authors. We have no limit on the length of review articles, however, we are always looking for concise and lucid treatments of the topic under review. All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.

The Journal of Global Ethics is an international and interdisciplinary scholarly journal concerned with ethical issues arising in the global context. The journal promotes the study of 'global ethics', encouraging examination of the wide variety of ethical issues that arise in the context of globalisation and global relations. The journal provides a forum for the analysis of ethics and values and their relationship to globalisation, international relations, politics and development, engaging particularly in debates about global justice. The Journal of Global Ethics publishes: * A range of high-quality empirical and theoretical articles * Dialogues, discussions and analyses of ethics in the global context * Articles incorporating research, practice and broader social concerns * Articles crossing the academic-practitioner divide and representing a range of voices, including those of civil society and non-governmental organizations and policy-makers * Reviews, interviews and special features on topical issues * Debates with NGOs, anti-globalisation movements, activists and academics on topical political, legal and ethical issues * Special Issues on contemporary themes, for example, those of global justice, global bioethics, development ethics, corporate ethics, ecological ethics, professional ethics and human rights. The Journal of Global Ethics draws chiefly on the disciplines of philosophy, political science, sociology, theology, economics and law and covers diverse topics such as human rights, international development, biomedical, economic and environmental issues. Thus, the journal invites papers on theoretical, conceptual and empirical analysis of global ethics and ethics of globalisation as well as articles on comparative and normative ethics. It also welcomes critical analysis of various cultural approaches to ethical issues in the global context (for example on human rights, economic globalisation and social justice, ethics of development cooperation and international relations). In accordance with the aim of the journal to cross the academic-practitioner divide, the editors also encourage the submission of articles on policies and experiences related to social movement and NGO activities. The journal does not promote one particular set of values, beliefs or framework of ethics, rather its purpose is to be truly global and to take a cross-cultural approach to all aspects of ethical theory and practice. In order to achieve this the journal has regional editors on the different continents. Throughout, the concern of the Journal of Global Ethics is with equality and justice and its aim is to bring together those who are concerned about the state of ethics in the global context Peer Review Policy: All research articles published in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two anonymous referees. We publish an annual list of referees.
