Read free Language & Linguistics articles in the Routledge AAAL Collection. Find out more. In essence our purpose is to provide a journal of international standing with a unique African flavour which focuses on multilingualism in Africa. Although our general focus remains on multilingualism and related issues, we plan to focus on a different special theme annually. These themes may embrace a wide spectrum of language matters of current relevance in Southern Africa.We also endorse a multidisciplinary approach to the study of language and welcome contributions not only from sociolinguists, psycholinguists and the like, but also from educationalists, language practitioners, computer analysts and engineers: anyone who has a genuine interest in and contribution to the study of language.We hope to contribute to the language debate on all African languages and regard sub-Saharan Africa as our specific domain.Editorial Policy:Language Matters seeks to promote the dissemination of ideas, points of view, teaching strategies and research on different aspects of all the languages of southern Africa. Our primary focus is on issues related to multilingualism in the southern African context. We aim to provide a forum for discussion on the whole spectrum of language usage and debate in Africa.Two issues of Language Matters are published per year, one of which is a special thematic edition under a guest editor who is an expert in the particular field and the other is of a more general nature.All contributions are critically reviewed by at least two referees. This journal is accredited with the South African Department of Education.DisclaimerUnisa Press and Taylor & Francis make every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.

Atlantic Studies provides an international forum for research and debate on historical, cultural and literary issues arising within the new disciplinary matrix of the circumatlantic world. In particular, it seeks to foster a transcultural dialogue between the two hemispheres and, specifically, among the nations of Europe, the Americas and Africa.The Journal aims to study the cartographic space of the Atlantic as it emerged in the early modern period, up to the present day: a highly critical space, centered not on a single nation or land mass but on a new cosmopolitan interchange of land and sea, ships and peoples, cultures and texts, ideas and tools.Published on behalf of MESEA (The Society for Multi-Ethnic Studies: Europe and the Americas), the Journal aims to be an important site for scholarship on the intercultural and transcultural perspective study of multi-ethnic cultures and societies. It challenges nationalist histories and literatures by focusing on the Atlantic as an arena of cultural change and exchange, translation and interference, communication and passage.Atlantic Studies accordingly invites submissions in the areas of history, cultural studies, critical theory, and literature from academics, public intellectuals, contemporary commentators, and activists whose focus of interest lies in circumatlantic perspectives. It also invites special guest-edited issues featuring essays on a single Atlantic theme. The Journal will also publish work based on such visual materials as photography, film, and information media. Each volume will also include book reviews.Atlantic Studies encourages both scholarly research and timely critical debate on current issues within its chosen paradigm. In as much as they develop a circumatlantic, transatlantic, or cisatlantic perspective, essays on race, class, gender, ethnicity and on human rights, citizenship and identity politics will also be welcomed.Peer Review Policy All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial screening by our editorial board and followed by a further critical reading by two anonymous referees.DisclaimerTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.

Biomedical engineering has been characterized as the application of concepts drawn from engineering, computing, communications, mathematics, and the physical sciences to scientific and applied problems in the field of medicine and biology. Concepts and methodologies in biomedical engineering extend throughout the medical and biological sciences. This journal attempts to critically review a wide range of research and applied activities in the field. More often than not, topics chosen for inclusion are concerned with research and practice issues of current interest. Experts writing each review bring together current knowledge and historical information that has led to the current state-of-the-art. Each issue contains one or more critical reviews of specified topics representing applied, clinical and basic science areas. Most articles contain in-depth appraisals of the current state-of-the-art in a specific area of research or practice and provide complete and up-to-date bibliographies. Each review attempts to be nearly exhaustive in a constrained area rather than broad and overarching. The critical evaluations of current research and development issues include interpretive discussions of major problems. From time to time, a series of articles in a related topic area are published in order to give comprehensive coverage. Collaborative works generated by multiple authors are frequently used to provide in-depth coverage from multiple viewpoints. Each article is reviewed by one or more independent experts in the field. The editor invites comments and suggestions about the contents of the reviews.

The Journal of Access Services welcomes the submission of research, theory, and practice papers relevant to the access services in libraries and archives of all types. Access Services is the broad field and collective term of all the services that provide, facilitate, and manage the access of the clientele to the information resources acquired or made available by the libraries or archives with the aim of allowing for easy and convenient retrieval of needed information, utilization of information resources to the fullest extent, and greatest availability of resources to each of the clientele. Major responsibilities of Access Services units frequently include, but are not limited to, stacks maintenance, circulation services, document delivery and interlibrary loan, reserve reading collections, building security and maintenance, and user area maintenance. The evolution of technology has led Access Services departments to provide access to both traditional and electronic information resources, regardless of whether they are licensed, or held locally, remotely, or consortially, and demands continuous review of means for delivering the services and the kind of services that should be provided. This journal looks for best practices and new insights of the Access Services that may be based on research, studies, and experiences. Peer Review Policy: Manuscripts submitted to this journal undergo editorial screening and peer review by anonymous reviewers.Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

The aim of Neuropeptides is the rapid publication of original research and review articles, dealing with the structure, distribution, actions and functions of peptides in the central and peripheral nervous systems. The explosion of research activity in this field has led to the identification of numerous naturally occurring endogenous peptides which act as neurotransmitters, neuromodulators, or trophic factors, to mediate nervous system functions. Increasing numbers of non-peptide ligands of neuropeptide receptors have been developed, which act as agonists or antagonists in peptidergic systems.The journal provides a unique opportunity of integrating the many disciplines involved in all neuropeptide research. The journal publishes articles on all aspects of the neuropeptide field, with particular emphasis on gene regulation of peptide expression, peptide receptor subtypes, transgenic and knockout mice with mutations in genes for neuropeptides and peptide receptors, neuroanatomy, physiology, behaviour, neurotrophic factors, preclinical drug evaluation, clinical studies, and clinical trials.Original papers predominate. Manuscripts may be of any length, but must be complete studies; preliminary communications are not accepted. Review articles and hypothesis papers are welcomed, and will be evaluated in the same way as experimental papers. Authors intending to submit a review are advised to communicate their intentions to the Editor, to avoid possible duplication.
