Journal Guide

The Annals of the International Communication Association is a peer-reviewed quarterly journal publishing state-of-the-discipline literature reviews and essays, including: descriptive reviews; meta-analyses; and theoretical essays.

Submissions to the Annals are broadly defined as follows:

• Reviews – retrospective reviews, helping readers understand the development of current knowledge within the discipline over a defined period in the past, or prescriptive reviews, creating a roadmap for future direction of research on communication
• Communication Insights – examining a set of predetermined topics that provide a degree of continuity across the years and indicate how a specific research topic has developed. A set of predetermined topics will rotate over five year periods
• Book Reviews – reviewing a set of recently published books that focus on a central theme within the discipline.  The goal of the Annals book reviews is to provide a critical review and synthesis of published books. The Editor encourages authors from non-English language speaking countries to consider submitting topical reviews of books not available in the English language in order to increase the reach of communication studies research globally.

The Annals is both international and interdisciplinary in scope, with authors and chapters representing the broad global interests of the International Communication Association.  All submissions will be subject to initial editor screening and subsequent peer review as necessary.

The Annals will continue the traditions established in Communication Yearbook providing an updated context for key research from across the Association.

Phytochemical Analysisis devoted to the publication of original articles concerning the development, improvement, validation and/or extension of application of analytical methodology in the plant sciences. The spectrum of coverage is broad, encompassing methods and techniques relevant to the detection (including bio-screening), extraction, separation, purification, identification and quantification of compounds in plant biochemistry, plant cellular and molecular biology, plant biotechnology, the food sciences, agriculture and horticulture. The Journal publishes papers describing significant novelty in the analysis of whole plants (including algae), plant cells, tissues and organs, plant-derived extracts and plant products (including those which have been partially or completely refined for use in the food, agrochemical, pharmaceutical and related industries). All forms of physical, chemical, biochemical, spectroscopic, radiometric, electrometric, chromatographic, metabolomic and chemometric investigations of plant products (monomeric species as well as polymeric molecules such as nucleic acids, proteins, lipids and carbohydrates) are included within the remit of the Journal. Papers dealing with novel methods relating to areas such as data handling/ data mining in plant sciences will also be welcomed. Phytochemical Analysisis intended to serve as a major resource for information on analytical and instrumental methodology in the plant sciences. Together with original articles and accelerated communications, all of which will be both timely and of interest to a wide readership, short review articles describing recent advances in specific areas of plant analysis will be published. Reviews are by invitation only, but the Editor-in-Chief welcomes suggestions for new review topics from potential authors.

Une revue basée sur l'échange entre les disciplinesIssue de l'initiative de praticiens et d'enseignants-chercheurs, éthique & santé est basée sur l'échange des connaissances et savoirs des acteurs impliqués dans la question éthique. La revue publie des travaux de sciences sanitaires et sociales, de philosophie, d'ethnologie, de théologie et de droit écrits par des praticiens, médecins et acteurs du système de santé.Une revue pédagogique à vocation scientifiqueéthique & santé représente le lieu de publication d'expériences novatrices autour des questions éthiques, qu'elles soient réflexives, pratiques ou pédagogiques. Elle accueille aussi les travaux de recherche qui ne trouvent pas toujours leur place dans les revues à caractère strictement disciplinaire.Chaque numéro comporte un dossier thématique.Une revue pour tous ceux qui sont concernés par la problématique éthiqueéthique & santé vise à apporter des outils à l'ensemble des corps médicaux et paramédicaux, aux juristes, aux enseignants-chercheurs en sciences humaines, aux étudiants de médecine, en écoles d'infirmières, d'aides-soignants, en droit de la santé, en sciences sanitaires et sociales, en philosophie, aux acteurs sociaux et politiques, aux enseignants de l'éducation nationale en sciences biologiques et philosophie...

The Journal of Map & Geography Libraries is a multidisciplinary publication that covers international research and information on the production, procurement, processing, and utilization of geographic and cartographic materials and geospatial information. Papers submitted undergo a rigorous peer-review process by professors, researchers, and practicing librarians with a passion for geography, cartographic materials, and the mapping and spatial sciences. The journal accepts original theory-based, case study, and practical papers that substantially advance an understanding of the mapping sciences in all of its forms to support users of map and geospatial collections, archives, and similar institutions.The journal accepts submissions on a wide variety of topics within the field, including:Changing methodologies for the delivery of geospatial information Research involving historical and contemporary maps and atlasesThe algorithms, tools and software applications used by cartographers, geographers, and map librarians in their manipulation and presentation of geospatial data GIS, geodatabase design, and geospatial data standards (e.g., ISO, OGC, ANZLIC), uses, and potentialsWorking with data produced by private and public entities at the local, state or similar, national and international levels from government agencies, educational and/or research and related institutions Patterns and trends in the publication of cartographic materialsCartographic knowledge capture and expert systems for solving mapping problems Preservation of digital and hard-copy cartographic materialsMetadata and cataloging issues related to cartographic materials Any other topics related to geospatial information in the mapping sciencesPeer Review Policy: All research articles in Journal of Map & Geography Libraries have undergone a rigorous double-blind peer review, based on initial editor screening, refereeing by a minimum of two anonymous referees, and final review by the editor. Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

Pharmacological Research Reports (PREREP) is a journal that publishes articles in biomedical sciences to cover a broad range of topics that move the pharmacological field forward. We provide a venue through which specialists across disciplines can rapidly exchange information in health sciences that pertains to modern pharmacological topics.

PREREP publishes articles on molecular, biochemical, translational, and clinical research (including clinical trials). PREREP is a sound-science journal and therefore novelty and perceived impact will not be considered in the evaluation process. However, the journal will focus on quality studies that advance our knowledge and will take measures to guarantee the replicability of the published material.

Politics & Society (PAS), a peer-reviewed quarterly, publishes well-researched articles that raise questions about the way the world is organized politically, economically, and socially. Established in the late 1960s as an alternative, critical voice of the social sciences, PAS regularly debates the theory of the state, class analysis, politics of gender, methodological individualism and rational choice, and the future of capitalism and socialism.
