Journal Guide

International Journal of Wireless Information Networks is an international forum for the dissemination of knowledge related to wireless information networks for researchers in the telecommunications and computer industries. This outstanding quarterly publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed original papers on applications such as sensor and mobile ad-hoc networks, wireless personal area networks, wireless LANs, mobile data networks, location aware networks and services, and RF localization and RFID techniques. The journal also covers performance-predictions methodologies, radio propagation studies, modulation and coding, multiple access methods, security and privacy considerations, antenna and RF subsystems, VLSI and ASIC design, experimental trials, traffic and frequency management, and network signaling and architecture.Four categories of papers are published: invited openings (review current and future directions), overview reports (address the philosophy and technical details of the standards and field trials), technical papers (present specific technical contributions of archival value), and letters (present new enhancement of previously published works, statements of open problems, comments on published papers, and corrections). International Journal of Wireless Information Networks aims to fill the needs of academic researchers involved in basic research at universities or research laboratories: telecommunications and computer engineers involved in design, planning, operation, and maintenance of state-of-the-art wireless information networks: and the technical community in telecommunications and computers involved in applied research and standards activities.To view cumulative tables of contents, find details on the latest call for papers, or other information, please visit the http://www.cwins.wpi.edu/journal.html International Journal of Wireless Information Networks Web Site.

Safety Science serves as an international medium for research in the science and technology of human safety. It extends from safety of people at work to other spheres, such as transport, leisure and home, as well as every other field of man's hazardous activities.Safety Science is multidisciplinary. Its contributors and its audience range from psychologists to chemical engineers. The journal covers the domain of safety in its general sense with a special focus on the interfaces between technology, people and organizations. Papers may address the physics and engineering of safety; its social, policy and organisational aspects; the management of risks; the effectiveness of control techniques for safety; standardization, legislation, inspection, insurance, costing aspects, human behaviour and safety and the like.Safety Science will enable academic researchers, engineers and decision-makers in companies, government agencies and international bodies, to augment their information level on the latest trends in the field, from policy makers and management scientists to engineers.The journal focuses primarily on original research papers across its whole scope, but also welcomes state-of-the-art review papers and first hand case histories on accidents and disasters of special significance. The emphasis is on safety risks, as distinct from health risks, but may include both.

The mission of the Academy of Management Annals is to provide periodic, comprehensive examinations of recent advances in multiple management fields. Each yearly volume features critical reviews of the research, written by leading management scholars. Through these systematic analyses, the Annals summarize previously established studies and concepts, pinpoint potential problems (such as factual errors), and inspire new discussions and directions for further research activity.Suggestions for topics and authors are welcomed. They should be sent to the Senior Editor: Royston Greenwood at royston.greenwood@ualberta.ca .The Academy of Management is proud to announce the fifth volume of The Academy of Management Annals . This exciting series follows one guiding principle: the advancement of knowledge is possible only by conducting a thorough examination of what is known and unknown in a given field. Such assessments can be accomplished through comprehensive, critical reviews of the literature—crafted by informed scholars who determine both when a line of inquiry has gone astray, and how to steer the research back onto the proper path.The Academy of Management Annals provide just such essential reviews. Written by leading management scholars, the reviews are invaluable for ensuring the timeliness of advanced courses, for designing new investigative approaches, and for identifying faulty methodological or conceptual assumptions. The Academy of Management Annals strive each year to synthesize a vast array of primary research, recognizing past principal contributions while illuminating potential future avenues of inquiry.Academic scholars in management and allied fields (e.g., sociology of organizations and organizational psychology) will see The Academy of Management Annals as a valuable resource to turn to for comprehensive, up-to-date information—published in a single volume every year by the preeminent association for management research.Volume 5 of The Academy of Management Annals continues to review research literature across a variety of areas incorporating: technological innovation; negotiation and gender inequality; staffing practices; person-environment fit; turnover and retention research; organizational competition and cooperation; work-family initiatives; power and status in social hierarchies; behavioural decision research; systematic research synthesis in management; entrepreneurship and ethical decision making.'It’s an exceptional volume—and exceptionally timely to boot. I found myself trying to put this new Annals in perspective. I tried, in particular, to cast a rather hard and critical light on this volume: Just how essential is it for the time-starved and besieged scholar to have yet another thing to keep up with? Do we really need, in short, yet another annual volume? The answer I gave myself to this question was a resounding, ‘‘Yes!’’'Review in International Public Management Journal (2008)DisclaimerTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the “Content”) contained in its publications.
