The qualities of meat – its composition, nutritional value, wholesomeness and consumer acceptability – are largely determined by the events and conditions encountered by the embryo, the live animal and the postmortem musculature. The control of these qualities, and their further enhancement, are thus dependent on a fuller understanding of the commodity at all stages of its existence – from the initial conception, growth and development of the organism to the time of slaughter and to the ultimate processing, preparation, distribution, cooking and consumption of its meat.It is the purpose of Meat Science to provide an appropriate medium for the dissemination of interdisciplinary and international knowledge on all the factors which influence the properties of meat. The journal is predominantly concerned with the flesh of mammals; however, contributions on poultry will only be considered, if they demonstrate that they would increase the overall understanding of the relationship between the nature of muscle and the quality of the meat which muscles become post mortem Papers on large birds (eg emus, ostrich's) and wild capture mammals and crocodile will be considered.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Structural Change and Economic Dynamics publishes articles about theoretical, applied and methodological aspects of structural change in economic systems. The journal publishes work analysing dynamics and structural breaks in economic, technological, behavioural and institutional patterns. Articles might examine the effects of the incorporation of new technologies, aspects of international economic integration and development, the changing structure of employment and income distribution, the interdependence between environmental and economic change, and related issues. An important aim is to facilitate communication among researchers who are actively engaged in the study of the various aspects of structural change and the dynamics of economic systems. SCED encourages articles that apply econometric and statistical techniques to the above themes. The journal also publishes pure theoretical research on the structural dynamics of economic systems, particularly in the fields of multisectoral, complex and dynamical analysis.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Atmospheric Environment is the international journal for scientists and researchers in different disciplines interested in air pollution and its societal impacts. The journal publishes papers on the consequences of natural and human-induced perturbations to the earth's atmospheres, including processes involving chemistry and physics of the atmosphere as well as subjects related to human health, welfare, climate change, and environmental policy. Atmospheric Environment publishes original research and review articles, special issues, supplements, and New Directions columns. Papers should be novel and results based and present scientific methods involving atmospheric observations, modeling, and analysis extending from local to global scales.Key topics for stand-alone papers and special issues:-Innovative air quality observations including space based remote sensingAnthropogenic/biogenic emissions and inventoriesBiospheric-atmospheric exchange and depositionModeling and analysisAir pollution - climate change interactionsRadiative effects of aerosols, clouds, and albedo changesHealth and welfare effects associated with pollution exposure in a changing global environmentIndoor air pollutionEnvironmental policy and regulatory impactsField campaigns and laboratory studies of atmospheric physical, chemical, and radiative processesOur scope is broad, but Atmospheric Environment has air pollution as its core theme. We have to maintain this tradition, while attracting high quality papers of sufficient novelty to contribute to science and its implications for policy. Three fundamental questions help the Editors in reaching a decision on whether to send a paper out for review:1. Scope - is the work directly or explicitly related to air pollution and has it been prepared or framed in such a way?2. Novelty - does the work provide something new (new method, new results) or does it add significantly to the literature of air pollution science?3. Quality - does the work suffer from obvious quality problems, problems in method (e.g. insufficient sample size) or writing style etc.We try to be flexible with novel papers on air pollution issues even if they don't have atmospheric measurements (e.g. wind tunnel studies, dynamometer studies, remote sensing retrieval etc). However, we are still cautious of purely mathematical derivations, preliminary results or case studies, making sure that these represent substantial contributions to the science of Air Pollution before sending them for review. Air pollution should also feature in manuscripts that lie at the margins of our scope e.g. agriculture, meteorology, climatology, building comfort, carbon footprint, physiology, noise, engineering, occupational hygiene, meteorological visibility, heating and ventilation etcBenefits to authors:-We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Since its launch in 1968, Applied Acoustics has been publishing high quality research papers providing state-of-the-art coverage of research findings for engineers and scientists involved in applications of acoustics in the widest sense.Applied Acoustics looks not only at recent developments in the understanding of acoustics but also at ways of exploiting that understanding. The Journal aims to encourage the exchange of practical experience through publication and in so doing creates a fund of technological information that can be used for solving related problems. The presentation of information in graphical or tabular form is especially encouraged. If a report of a mathematical development is a necessary part of a paper it is important to ensure that it is there only as an integral part of a practical solution to a problem and is supported by data. Applied Acoustics encourages the exchange of practical experience in the following ways: • Complete Papers • Short Technical Notes • Review Articles; and thereby provides a wealth of technological information that can be used to solve related problems.Manuscripts that address all fields of applications of acoustics ranging from medicine and NDT to the environment and buildings are welcome. An indication of the breadth of coverage is given by the titles of Special Issues since 2004: • Sound shielding in the presence of turbulence • Musical Acoustics • Urban Acoustics • Innovative Applications of Materials for Acoustic Purposes • Detection and localization of marine mamals using passive acoustics • Time-domain modelling in outdoor sound propagation • Application of Acoustics to Medicine • Head-Related Transfer Function and its Applications.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
