Créée par Henri Berr en 1900, La Revue de synthèse accueille des travaux d'histoire intellectuelle, d'épistémologie, de philosophie, de sociologie, d'histoire économique, sociale et culturelle. Elle a la vocation d'animer les réflexions situées au carrefour entre la philosophie, l'histoire des sciences et l'histoire générale en encourageant les recherches et les échanges sur les questions touchant aux fondements des sciences sociales, aux renouvellements de l'enquête sur les sciences, aux développements des voies nouvelles propres à l'histoire intellectuelle.
La Revue de synthèse se consacre donc à l'histoire du travail intellectuel. Elle contribue à éclairer les critères de scientificité des sciences sociales. Elle occupe à ce titre une place originale dans l'ensemble des publications internationales. Elle maintient cette exigence de qualité par une sévère sélection des articles qui lui sont proposés.The Revue de synthèse was created by Henri Berr in 1900. The journal welcomes pieces that deal with intellectual history, epistemology, philosophy, sociology, and economic, social and cultural history. Its goal is to serve as a forum for discussions taking place at the crossroads between philosophy, the history of science and general history by encouraging research and exchanges on issues concerning the foundations of social sciences, changes in scientific investigation and the development of new approaches specific to intellectual history.
The Revue de synthèse studies the historically dated cognitive activity of scientists, philosophers and scholars. It looks to shed light on the scientific claims of the social sciences. In this regards, it stands out from other international publications. It maintains this quality requirement by severe selection of submitted articles., .

Progress in Aerospace Sciences is an international review journal designed to be of broad interest and use to all those concerned with research in aerospace sciences and their applications in research establishments, industry and universities. The journal is devoted primarily to the publication of specially commissioned review articles designed to bring together under one cover current advances in the ever-broadening field of aerospace sciences. No artificial limits are imposed on the length of papers and authors are encouraged to provide specialist readers with an orderly and concise summary of recent work, including sufficient detail for more general aerospace readers to be informed of recent developments in fields other than their own.The coverage of the journal includes timely reviews in aeronautics and astronautics, especially in important aerospace areas such as aero- and gas dynamics, aero-and space structures, flight mechanics of air and space vehicles, materials, vibrations, aeroelasticity, acoustics, aero- and space propulsion, avionics, and occasionally some related areas as well, such as wind engineering and hydrodynamics. "While the emphasis is on reviews of current developments, papers providing historical perspectives on important past developments and their pioneers are also welcome. Occasionally, the journal also publishes reviews of new books on aerospace topics."

Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism is a topical serial publication integrating the results from the latest original research into practical, evidence-based review articles that seek to address the key clinical issues of diagnosis, treatment and patient management.Each issue follows a problem-orientated approach which focuses on the key questions to be addressed, clearly defining what is known and highlighting topics for future research. Management is described in practical terms so that it can be applied to the individual patient.
