The ease of migration has brought global change and a multitude of new issues and opportunities for nations and immigrants. To reflect an interdisciplinary and broader range of subjects, the Journal of Immigrant & Refugee Services has been renamed the Journal of Immigrant & Refugee Studies. As always, the journal remains a peer-reviewed publication that is now interdisciplinary and international in scope exploring issues such as immigration policy, health and mental health of immigrants, sociological and/or economic implications of immigration/emigration, and business practices in serving immigrants and refugees, present and future programs and services, and other related topics.The Journal of Immigrant & Refugee Studies explores the effects of worldwide migration. The range of opportunities offered across the globe as well as traumas caused by war, revolutions, famine, terrorism, and economic difficulties have seen the movements of thousands of people who have left their homes, migrating either across regions or across borders. Nations are faced with the task of developing policies and programs to accommodate these waves of migration, particularly in the face of the increasing displacement of large groups of people. Countries losing citizens must adapt to the drains on their workforces. On the other hand, movements of people also provide unanticipated opportunities to nations that accept newcomers, many of whom may bring substantial human, social, and financial capital. Migration, then, has benefits and difficulties both for those migrating and for the nations affected. Resources entering countries can enhance and strengthen them; however, xenophobia, cross-cultural conflicts, and adaptation difficulties can be particularly troubling. This journal explores the experiences of migration, its social, economic, and political impact on receiving nations and regions, and the effects of emigration on the home territories. It provides a forum for quality knowledge and research in an area that is expected to continue to grow substantially.The Journal of Immigrant & Refugee Studies is international in scope, with full-length theoretical, empirical, and programmatic articles from national and international authorities discussing the pressing concerns of those who migrate into, through, or out of a country and those nations affected by them.

Cognitive and Behavioral Practice is a quarterly international journal with the primary mission of clinical dissemination: to bridge the gap between published clinical research and the actual clinical practice of cognitive and behavioral therapies. Cognitive and Behavioral Practice publishes clinically rich accounts of innovative assessment and therapeutic procedures that are clearly grounded in evidence-based practice. The primary focus is on application and implementation of procedures. Accordingly, topics are selected to address current challenges facing practitioners, both in terms of technique, process, and the content of treatment. To meet this goal, articles may include rich descriptions of clinical interventions, examples of client-therapist dialog, embedded video clips readers can view on line, and/or significant case descriptions. In addition to regular articles, the journal includes special series, case conferences, clinical commentaries, clinical reviews, and book reviews. Special series contain multiple manuscripts that center on a particular diagnostic category, population or therapeutic strategy. Case series contain a case description with authors responding to various aspects of the treatment approach. Clinical commentaries are brief articles (solicited and unsolicited) in which experts in the field comment on the most up-to-date clinical topics, controversies, or discoveries within their expertise. Clinical reviews are regular length review articles that focus specifically on clinical strategy and existing evidence base for that strategy. This journal is for the practicing mental health clinician, instructors, and researchers with an interest in the clinical dissemination of their findings. Continuing education examinations are included in each issue.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

The International Journal of Systematic Theology has acquired a world-wide reputation for publishing high-quality academic articles on systematic theology and for substantial reviews of major new works of scholarship. Systematic theology, which is concerned with the systematic articulation of the meaning, coherence and implications of Christian doctrine, is at the leading edge of contemporary academic theology. The discipline has undergone a remarkable transformation in the last three decades, and is now firmly established as a central area of academic teaching and research. The International Journal of Systematic Theology aims to publish articles of the highest quality in this area, and operates with a double-blind peer review system. Its core concern is the articulation of Christian doctrine in terms both of its content and of its implications for the wider sphere of culture. Although doctrine is thus its primary concern, the Journal on occasion publishes articles treating the doctrinal aspects of historical theology, ethics and philosophy of religion. The Journal is interested in contributions which discuss substantive rather than methodological issues.

JELS: Where scholarship and practice meet The Journal of Empirical Legal Studies (JELS) is a peer-edited, peer-refereed, interdisciplinary journal that publishes high-quality, emirically-oriented articles of interest to scholars in a diverse range of law and law-related fields, including civil justice, corporate law, criminal justice, domestic relations, economics, finance, health care, political science, psychology, public policy, securities regulation, and sociology. Both experimental and nonexperimental data analysis are welcome, as are law-related empirical studies from around the world. Launched in 2004, JELS is devoted to the dissemination of empirical studies of the legal system. The Journal's editors and editorial advisory boards comprise renowned international scholars from diverse disciplines, including law, statistics, economics, psychology, industrial relations, and dispute resolution. Recognizing that many legal and policy debates hinge on assumptions about the operation of the legal system, the Journal seeks to encourage and promote the careful, dispassionate testing of these assumptions. The editorial policy of the Journal is open to empirical work from any disciplinary or ideological approach to the study of law. Empirical analysis of the legal system has a long, if spotty, tradition in the academy. Many legal realists of the 1930s made their mark with empirical studies. A growing number of contemporary scholars recognize the value of empirical analysis in understanding the legal system and its role in society. JELS provides an outlet for publication of high quality empirical work, supporting and encouraging this growing field of study. There is currently a gap in the legal and social science literature that has often left scholars, lawyers, and policymakers without basic knowledge of legal systems or with false or distorted impressions. Even simple descriptive data about the functioning of courts and the legal systems are often lacking. Reform and intellectual debate have previously proceeded in an empirical vacuum. Courts and lawyers often do not know what to make of empirical findings in part because they so rarely encounter them. JELS fills this gap. The time is ripe for empirical studies of the legal system. With the explosion in information technology, data sources on the legal system are improving in quality and accessibility. Compared with just a few years ago, researchers today can easily access original data sets. For example, using internet browsers and the archive at the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research, academic researchers can obtain data ranging from the RAND studies of jury verdicts in California and Chicago, to the Wisconsin Civil Litigation Research Project's data, to the Federal Judicial Center's archives of all federal court cases. A major goal of JELS is to make these and other worldwide data sets more widely known and used. JELS papers should clearly document their data sources and methodology so that all researchers can access, replicate, and criticize the analysis and results. JELS has an International Advisory Board that includes empirical scholars from around the world, including Japan, continental Europe, Scandinavia, England, and Australia. Journals edited in the United States sometimes exhibit a form of provincialism in assessing empirical work based in foreign countries. If there are no direct and obvious implications for the United States, the data are sometimes treated as being of insufficient interest to warrant publication. JELS will have a self-consciously international perspective. An article that provides useful insights into the experience of a country will be judged by the article's potential appeal to a worldwide audience and not solely to a U.S. readership. By the time the first issue of JELS was published in January of 2004, controversial, topical, and thought-provoking articles from the first volume had already been discussed and debated in The New York Times, The Economist, the Financial Times (London), the Wall Street Journal, and the International Herald Tribune.
