American journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences is a peer reviewed broad multidisciplinary journal that publish research/ review articles relating to general biology and agriculture.

The objective of  Transnational Legal Theory is to publish high-quality theoretical scholarship that addresses transnational dimensions of law and legal dimensions of transnational fields and activity.

Central to  Transnational Legal Theory's mandate is publication of work that explores whether and how transnational contexts, forces and ideations affect debates within existing traditions or schools of legal thought. Similarly, the journal aspires to encourage scholars debating general theories about law to consider the relevance of transnational contexts and dimensions for their work. With respect to particular jurisprudence, the journal welcomes not only submissions that involve theoretical explorations of fields commonly constructed as transnational in nature (such as commercial law, maritime law, or cyberlaw) but also explorations of transnational aspects of fields less commonly understood in this way (for example, criminal law, family law, company law, tort law, evidence law, and so on). Submissions of work exploring process-oriented approaches to law as transnational (from transjurisdictional litigation to delocalized arbitration to multi-level governance) are also encouraged.

Equally central to  Transnational Legal Theory's mandate is theoretical work that explores fresh (or revived) understandings of international law and comparative law 'beyond the state' (and the interstate). The journal has a special interest in submissions that explore the interfaces, intersections, and mutual embeddedness of public international law, private international law, and comparative law, notably in terms of whether such inter-relationships are reshaping these sub-disciplines in directions that are, in important respects, transnational in nature.

Other areas of interest for the journal include the interaction of systems or orders along such axes as the following examples: constitutional law theory on the reception of various forms of external law by states' legal orders; jurisdictional theory on the external projection of states' legal orders; public law theory on the evolution of regional legal orders; panstate religious normativity; and the theorization of law as "global" in preference or contradistinction to law as either international or transnational.

Legal theory is understood broadly to encompass a variety of inter- and subdisciplinary theoretical approaches to law or to law-like normativity, including, to name only some, philosophy of law, legal sociology, legal history, law and economics, and international relations theory.

The International Dairy Journal publishes research and critical reviews that advance dairy science and technology, and nutritional and health aspects of dairy foods. Within this scope, the journal pays particular attention to applied research and its interface with the dairy industry.The journal communicates research in dairy science that is of significant relevance to the broader international community, including the research and development of dairy products from milk of bovine and non-bovine species.The journal's coverage includes:• Biosynthesis, chemistry and physico-chemical properties of milk constituents• Microbiology, enzymology, biotechnology• New developments in processing and engineering• Relevant emulsion science, food structure and texture• Raw material quality and effect on relevant products• Flavour and off flavour development• Technological functionality and applications of dairy ingredients• Relevant sensory science/consumer studies• Analytical techniques• Nutrition and substantiation of human health implications of milk components or dairy productsUnless there is a clear relationship to dairy technology, human health or final product quality, International Dairy Journal does not publish papers related to milk production, animal health and other aspects of on-farm milk production.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 aim of the International Journal of Multilingualism (IJM) is to foster, present and spread research focused on psycholinguistic, sociolinguistic and educational aspects of multilingual acquisition and multilingualism. The journal is interdisciplinary and seeks to go beyond bilingualism and second language acquisition by developing the understanding of the specific characteristics of acquiring, processing and using more than two languages. The International Journal of Multilingualism (IJM) provides a forum wherein academics, researchers and practitioners may read and publish high-quality, original and state-of-the-art papers describing theoretical and empirical aspects that can contribute to advance our understanding of multilingualism.Topics of interest to IJM include, but are not limited to the following: early trilingualism, multilingual competence, foreign language learning within bilingual education, multilingual literacy, multilingual identity, metalinguistic awareness in multilinguals, multilingual representations in the mind or language use in multilingual communities.The editors encourage the submission of high quality papers on these areas as well as on other topics relevant to the interest of the International Journal Multilingualism (IJM). Reviews of important, up-to-date, relevant publications and proposals for special issues on relevant topics are also welcome. IJM is a peer-reviewed (by a minimum of two experts) journal published quarterly.DisclaimerTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.
