Now listed in the Journal Citation Reports174; with a 2009 Impact Factor of 0.135Ranking: 40/44 (Area Studies)169; 2010 Thomson Reuters, 2009 Journal Citation Reports174; Vilakazi Prize 2011 AnnouncementRooted in a long tradition of scholarship, African Studies provides an inter-disciplinary forum for conceptual and empirical writing relevant to Africa, and that contributes to international dialogue and debate. The journal is edited from the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, but draws on the expertise of an active editorial board, as well as a wide range of referees both within and beyond Southern Africa. The journal is particularly keen to consolidate and extend its commitment to support the publication of especially younger scholars of Africa.The end of the academic boycott has facilitated South Africa's re-entry into the field of international scholarship, which has made for a vibrant exchange of ideas between local academics and those from abroad or from other parts of Africa. While mirroring the character of local debate, the journal also aims to contribute to a broader and more international dialogue. To this end, it draws not only on the commitment and expertise of its working editorial board, which is based at the University of the Witwatersrand, but also on a wide range of referees both within and beyond southern Africa.First published as Bantu Studies in 1921, the journal included among its early editors and contributors many pioneering scholars in anthropology and linguistics: Schapera, Gluckman, Marwick, Mayer, Vilakazi, Rheinallt Jones, Doke, Cole, and Hammond-Tooke. Building on this legacy, the journal now casts its net more broadly and includes history, sociology, politics, geography, and literary and cultural studiesOrder an African Studies Journals CataloguePeer Review StatementAll research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous double-blind refereeing by two referees.

Critical Studies on Terrorism is a new international, peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal. The journal seeks to publish quality research on all aspects of terrorism, counter-terrorism and state terror. Recent ArticlesA key aim of the journal is to both create space for robust, innovative research on terrorism, and to encourage fruitful intellectual engagement between critical and orthodox accounts of terrorism. In particular, the editors are looking for empirical, theoretical and policy-oriented articles that recognise the inherently problematic nature of the terrorism label, employ a critical-normative perspective broadly defined, and challenge accepted orthodoxies. Research on terrorism employing methodological and disciplinary perspectives from outside the poltical science and international relations paradigms is especially encouraged.Within this broad framework, the journal seeks submissions in some of the following areas:The achievements and limitations of terrorism studies as a disciplinePreconditions and facilitating factors of terrorismSociological, anthropological, psychological analyses of political terrorComparative history of (counter) - terrorismState terror and political repressionThe institutionalisation of counter-terrorismTorture, human rights/civil liberties and coercive counter-terrorismEthical-normative analyses of (counter) - terrorismGender dimensions of political terrorThe politics of naming/power-knowledge dimensions of 'terrorism'Identity, culture and representation of 'terrorism'The political communication of (counter) - terrorismMedia studies of (counter) - terrorismPathways out of political terror (non-state or state)Conflict resolution and counter-terrorismPerspectives from the Global South on (counter) - terrorism Critical Studies on Terrorism will provide a forum for the publication of original theoretical and empirical research articles, disciplinary debates and assessments, editorial commentary, special issues, research notes, announcements and book reviews.Critical Studies on Terrorism will be of interest to practitioners and scholars from a wide variety of disciplines, including: political science, security studies, international relations, sociology, psychology, history, applied philosophy, religious studies, law, criminology, anthropology, communication, media studies, cultural studies, gender studies, conflict resolution, development studies and area studies, among others.

International Journal of Leadership in Education: Theory & Practice is an international journal for the publication of theoretical and practical discussions of educational leadership. The Journal presents:cutting-edge writing on educational leadership, including instructional supervision, curriculum and teaching development, staff development, educational administration and more;an alternative voice: reports of alternative theoretical perspectives, alternative methodologies, and alternative experiences of leadership;a broad definition of leadership, including teachers-as-leaders, shared governance, site-based decision making, and community-school collaborations;an international medium for the publication of theoretical and practical discussions of educational leadership, across a range of approaches, as these relate to ethical, political, epistemological and philosophical issues;a forum for researchers and 'practitioner-researchers' to consider conceptual, methodological, and practical issues in a range of professional and service settings and sectors. Each edition of the journal will be divided into three main sections:1. ResearchThis section will contain peer-reviewed 'reflexive' theoretically-based papers (around 5000-8000 words), debating and exploring theoretical and methodological issues, across a range of disciplines, methodological approaches and substantive topics. In addition, as the Editor deems appropriate, overview or review articles will be commissioned from a leading author, discussing debates or the state of the art in relation to an area of educational leadership.2. PracticeThis section will contain shorter pieces from both academics and other practitioners (around 2000-5000 words) concerned with the application of research methodology among a range of professional and service sectors (for example, action research and practitioner research). These papers will be subject to peer or editorial review, as appropriate.3. CommentaryTimely, provocative, and profound commentary; which may elicit responses - a running dialogue.Peer Review Policy:All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least three anonymous referees.

The scope of the publication includes, but is not limited to Reliability of: Devices, Materials, Processes, Interfaces, Integrated Microsystems (including MEMS & Sensors), Transistors, Technology (CMOS, BiCMOS, etc.), Integrated Circuits (IC, SSI, MSI, LSI, ULSI, ELSI, etc.), Thin Film Transistor Applications. The measurement and understanding of the reliability of such entities at each phase, from the concept stage through research and development and into manufacturing scale-up, provides the overall database on the reliability of the devices, materials, processes, package and other necessities for the successful introduction of a product to market. This reliability database is the foundation for a quality product, which meets customer expectation. A product so developed has high reliability. High quality will be achieved because product weaknesses will have been found (root cause analysis) and designed out of the final product. This process of ever increasing reliability and quality will result in a superior product. In the end, reliability and quality are not one thing; but in a sense everything, which can be or has to be done to guarantee that the product successfully performs in the field under customer conditions. Our goal is to capture these advances. An additional objective is to focus cross fertilized communication in the state of the art of reliability of electronic materials and devices and provide fundamental understanding of basic phenomena that affect reliability. In addition, the publication is a forum for interdisciplinary studies on reliability. An overall goal is to provide leading edge/state of the art information, which is critically relevant to the creation of reliable products.
