The Journal of Coordination Chemistry publishes the results of original investigations involving the physical and chemical properties, syntheses and structures of coordination compounds. Its scope may be defined as being concerned with the interactions of organic and inorganic ligands with metal centres. Material on applications of coordination compounds may be included when relevant. Short reviews of current research in coordination chemistry will also be considered for publication. In addition to full articles, preliminary communications of results (up to 1000 words) may be submitted. The journal intends to shorten considerably the time between receipt, acceptance and publication of such articles in order to provide a mechanism for speedy publication of preliminary accounts of original and significant findings in coordination chemistry. Short articles that lack urgency are also acceptable to the journal and will be published in due course, as long as the desire to avoid multiple publication is met.The Editor also welcomes review articles in all areas of coordination chemistry, including inorganic solid state chemistry, organometallic chemistry and bioinorganic chemistry, as well as applications to analytical chemistry, catalysis, industrial chemistry and materials science. Articles may focus primarily on the metal, the ligand or the application. Given the limitation in length for the reviews, two extreme cases can be envisaged. Topics of emerging interest should be developed fully from basics. Careful attention must be paid to the way in which the new area relates to the field in general. Reviews of well-established subjects should collect developments from the literature and take a critical view of recent activities. Books for review should be sent to the Editor, at the address here.All published research articles in the Journal of Coordination Chemistry have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two expert reviewers.DisclaimerTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the "Content") contained in its publications.

The Teaching Artist Journal (TAJ) provides an authoritative, timely, ongoing professional development resource to clarify, enrich, and advance Teaching Artist research and practice. Teaching Artists--professionals with skills in both teaching and the arts--have uniquely powerful perspectives, practices, and skills. They make significant contributions and are a crucial resource to arts-in-education programs, to arts education and general education, and to the future of the arts as a whole. Until Teaching Artist Journal, there has been no national professional forum for their learning and development, no vehicle for their voices to be heard.The mission of the Teaching Artist Journal is to support and intensify the professional development of Teaching Artistry by advancing the practice of Teaching Artists; by increasing Teaching Artists' understanding of the background, contexts, and potentials of their work; and by expanding the recognition, appreciation, and support of their contributions. TAJ also seeks to enhance collaboration between Teaching Artists and classroom teachers, school arts specialists and other arts providers; to develop a sense of identity and purpose, to foster common language; and to foster illuminating research in the field.Neither a traditional scholarly journal (although it includes scholarly articles) nor a traditional professional publication (although it includes articles describing practice), TAJ is a broad, jargon-free, imaginative, direct, and heartfelt peer-reviewed publication addressing the fullest range of practice, research, theory, opinion, and issues related to Teaching Artists. It seeks to include a wide representation of artistic disciplines, of Teaching Artist approaches, of audiences involved, and of cultural contexts. TAJ includes a variety of sections. Submissions for all sections are invited: Submissions, questions and comments should be directed to Nick Jaffe, Chief Editor, TAJ at: TAJournal@colum.edu, 773-793-4643. Practice, Research, Theory: Original articles in standard journal article format. Suggested length: 2000-4000 words. Medley: Some Teaching Artists are disinclined to write articles; to include their voices TAJ will include original poems, artworks, transcripts of dialogs or interviews about teaching artistry, and other alternative presentation forms. Suggested length: 1500-3000 words. In My Opinion: Opinion pieces about an issue in the field. Suggested length: 1000-2000 words. News Break: Information on changes in the field, conferences, grant opportunities, and advocacy occasions that Teaching Artists should know about. This section will serve as the "one place to go" for Teaching Artists to keep up with their field. Submit information for this section to Laura Reeder: laura@arts4ed.org Research Review: Information on new research studies, reports, and resources that will be of value to the Teaching Artist community.
