Journal Guide

The Journal of Information Technology & Politics examines how information technology (IT) impacts politics and government, how politics and government influence the development and use of IT, and how IT can be used to advance research and education, particularly in political science. The journal features articles that carry significant technical weight on IT issues with a practical, readable focus for social scientists. Contributors address the challenges and opportunities presented by the use of IT in a variety of disciplines, including law, geography, communications, economics, and sociology.The Journal of Information Technology & Politics covers research, policy, tool development, and teaching issues at the intersection of IT and politics. Edited by Dr. Stuart Shulman, the journal looks at e-government; the applications of IT in political campaigns, elections, and public sector management; the political economy of IT; and the governance of the Internet. The journal's contributors also examine forms of citizen interaction with government-from "blogs" at the "net-roots" to hyperlinked transnational social movements. The Journal of Information Technology & Politics includes: original theory-driven research papers that focus on the interface between IT & politics articles that combine theory & practice to feature a specific focus on policy issues at the local, state/provincial, national, & global levels, with analysis to benefit academics and practitioners articles that focus on teaching innovations through the use of information technology, particularly in the development & assessment of new tools papers that examine different pedagogical approaches to online distance education "Workbench Notes," on the technological side of the interface between IT & politics "Review Essays," that survey previously published work & chart new directions for future research & book reviews, as well as substantial government & research center reports The Journal of Information Technology & Politics is a unique resource for anyone working in the fields of political science, public policy, public administration, information and computer science, law, geography, sociology, and public health.Peer Review Policy: Journal of Information Technology & Politics manuscripts are put through a double blind review process.Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

Physical Review Research is a trusted and multidisciplinary open access journal reporting significant developments in all areas of science with a connection to physics.

The central aim of Studies in Science Education (SiSE) is to publish review articles of the highest quality which provide analytical syntheses of research into key topics and issues in science education. In addressing this aim, the Editors and Editorial Advisory Board, are guided by a commitment to: maintaining and developing the highest standards of scholarship associated with the Journal. publishing articles from as wide a range of authors as possible, in relation both to professional background and country of origin. publishing articles which serve both to consolidate and reflect upon existing fields of study and to promote new areas for research activity. Studies in Science Education will be of interest to all those involved in science education including: science education researchers, doctoral students and masters students; science teachers at elementary, high school and university levels; science education policy makers; science education curriculum developers and text book writers. Articles are made available to Studies in Science Education either by invitation from the Editors or through potential contributors offering pieces. Given the substantial nature of the review articles, the Editors are willing to give informal feedback on the suitability of proposals, though all contributions, whether invited or not, are subject to full peer review. A limited number of books of special interest and concern to those involved in science education is normally reviewed in each volume. Peer Review Policy:All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two anonymous referees.Disclaimer for Scientific, Technical and Social Science publications:Taylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.

The Journal of Spanish Language Teaching is a new peer-reviewed journal that provides an international forum for innovative research, methods, materials and theories on the teaching and learning of Spanish as a foreign language. The Journal's main purpose is to create a dialogue between researchers and practitioners worldwide in order to enrich a discipline that is experiencing tremendous growth. The Journal invites contributions from researchers working on topics related to the teaching and learning of the Spanish language at any educational level and in any setting.

The Journal will publish original research papers as well as book reviews. Periodically, it will also consider monographic issues and critical surveys of recent research related to a specific sub-discipline or geographical area. A thorough peer review process will be applied to both commissioned and unsolicited articles. The Journal of Spanish Language Teaching will constitute an essential journal of reference in the field. There is currently no other academic publication dedicated solely to the teaching and learning of Spanish, which exists in both print and electronic formats, and is global in its reach. Targeted at both academics and practitioners, the Journal aims to have a major impact on the discipline.

Some of the areas especially relevant to the Journal's objectives are:
