The American Educational Research Journal publishes original empirical and theoretical studies and analyses in education that constitute significant contributions to the understanding and/or improvement of educational processes and outcomes. The Social and Institutional Analysis section focuses on significant political, cultural, social, economic, and organizational issues in education, and the Teaching, Learning, and Human Development section explores the processes and outcomes of teaching, learning, and human development at all educational levels and in both formal and informal settings. Both sections publish research representing a wide range of academic disciplines and using a wide range of research methods.

Water Resources Research (WRR) is an interdisciplinary journal that focuses on hydrology and water resources. It publishes original research in the natural and social sciences of water. It emphasizes the role of water in the Earth system, including physical, chemical, biological, and ecological processes in water resources research and management, including social, policy, and public health implications. It encompasses observational, experimental, theoretical, analytical, numerical, and data-driven approaches that advance the science of water and its management. Submissions are evaluated for their novelty, accuracy, significance, and broader implications of the findings. 

Worldwide Waste is the first interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal devoted entirely to a critical interrogation of the cultural, social, economic and political systems within which waste is created, managed and circulated.

The journal privileges no particular theories, debates or trends. Its goal is to actively stimulate publications of innovative scholarship on relatively unexplored topics and/or from geographical areas that have thus far been underrepresented in waste studies.

Submissions are encouraged from across the humanities and social sciences, including anthropology, archaeology, ecology, geography, history, literature, philosophy, politics, sociology, science and technology studies, and the visual and performing arts.

The publication of this journal is financially supported by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (grant number 277-53-006) and no publication fees are being charged to the authors.

International Journal of Logistics: Research & Applications publishes original and challenging work that has a clear applicability to the business world. As a result the journal concentrates on papers of an academic journal standard but aimed at the practitioner as much as the academic. High quality contributions are therefore welcomed from both academics and professionals working in the field of logistics and supply chain management. Papers should further our understanding of logistics and supply chain management and make a significant original contribution to knowledge. In this context the term 'logistics' is taken in its broadest context as "the management of processes, flow of materials and associated information along the entire supply chain, from raw materials through to the final user of the product". The journal covers all aspects of logistics and supply chain management including, but not limited to, the topics and areas listed below:Inbound and outbound logistics including distribution, transport, warehousing, 3PL and 4PLMaterials Management MRP, DRP, ERP and Vendor or Co-Managed Inventories (VMI)Modelling and simulation of logistics and supply systems and processesDecision support tools, methods and systems such as Value Stream MappingIntra and inter enterprise communication tools and methods such as EDI, Internet, Extranet, RFID etc.Approaches and methods for Collaborative, Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment (CPFR)Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Efficient Consumer Response (ECR)Procurement, e-Commerce, e-auctionsMass Customisation, Order Postponement, ResponsivenessSupplier DevelopmentSupply chain performance managementCollaboration and relationship management approaches in the extended supply chains including supplier networksEnvironmental and sustainability issues in logistics and supply chain including Reverse LogisticsManaging international logistical operations including outsourcingTraining and Education issues in Logistics and Supply Chain ManagementResearch MethodologiesCase studiesAll published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.

The International Journal of Solids and Structures has as its objective the publication and dissemination of original research in Mechanics of Solids and Structures as a field of Applied Science and Engineering. It fosters thus the exchange of ideas among workers in different parts of the world and also among workers who emphasize different aspects of the foundations and applications of the field.Standing as it does at the cross-roads of Materials Science, Life Sciences, Mathematics, Physics and Engineering Design, the Mechanics of Solids and Structures is experiencing considerable growth as a result of recent technological advances. The Journal, by providing an international medium of communication, is encouraging this growth and is encompassing all aspects of the field from the more classical problems of structural analysis to mechanics of solids continually interacting with other media and including fracture, flow, wave propagation, heat transfer, thermal effects in solids, optimum design methods, model analysis, structural topology and numerical techniques. Interest extends to both inorganic and organic solids and structures.The emphasis is placed on contributions, analytical, experimental and numerical, which appear to be of permanent interest to research workers and engineers in the field. If furthering knowledge in the area of principal concern of the Journal, papers of primary interest to the constitutive disciplines of Materials Science, Mathematics, Physics and Engineering Design may be published. Papers which are merely illustrations of established principles and procedures, even though possibly containing new numerical or experimental data, will generally not be published.When outstanding advances are made in existing areas or when new areas have been developed to a definitive stage, special review articles will be considered by the Editors.No length limitations for contributions are set, but only concisely written papers are published. Brief articles are considered on the basis of technical merit. Discussions of previously published papers are welcome.

This monthly review journal aims to provide the practising diagnostic pathologist and trainee pathologist with up-to-date reviews on histopathology and cytology and related technical advances.Each issue contains invited articles on a variety of topics from experts in the field and includes a mini-symposium exploring one subject in greater depth.
