Journal Guide

The Journal of Epidemiology and Population Health is an international, peer-reviewed journal committed to publishing high-quality research in the fields of epidemiology and public health. We focus on advancing understanding of health and disease in populations, covering a wide range of topics such as the impact of climate change on health, digital health advancements, and public health interventions.

Our scope includes:

chronic and infectious disease epidemiology

environmental and occupational health

health promotion

disease prevention

health services research

an exploration of the social drivers of health

We emphasize the importance of innovative and valid methods in research submissions. Our goal is to provide a platform for cutting-edge, methodologically sound studies that can significantly contribute to the field of public health, particularly for society's most vulnerable. We invite contributions that address health policy, health systems, mental and behavioral health, gender issues in health, and other critical areas in public health using a variety of methodological approaches from the social and biomedical sciences.

As a key resource for epidemiologists, public health practitioners, researchers, and policymakers, the Journal of Epidemiology and Population Health aims to enhance the body of knowledge in the field and influence effective public health policy and practice.

Financial econometrics has become one of the most active areas of research in econometrics. The Journal of Financial Econometrics is dedicated to this fast-growing field. The Journal addresses substantive statistical issues raised by the tremendous growth of the financial industry over the last decades. The goal of the Journal is to reflect and advance the relationship between econometrics and finance, both at the methodological and at the empirical levels. The Journal's scope encompasses the themes that animate the field today. Estimation, testing, learning, prediction and calibration in the framework of asset pricing or risk management represent the core focus. More specifically, the scope includes topics relating to volatility processes, continuous-time processes, dynamic conditional moments, extreme values, long memory, dynamic mixture models, endogenous sampling, transaction data, and microstructure of financial markets. Methodological issues associated with the econometrics of experimental and behavioral finance are also of interest. The Journal features a Practitioners' Corner section that emphasizes the practical side of the contents of each issue and places the articles within a broader perspective. Practitioners are invited to submit their reactions to make this section a lively forum for current ideas, where new issues and trends emerge.

Journal of Financial Services Research has been accepted for Social Sciences Citation Index and Current Contents/Social and Behavioral Sciences and will first appear with an Impact Factor in the 2010 Journal Citation Reports (JCR), published in June 2011. The Journal of Financial Services Research publishes high quality empirical and theoretical research on the demand, supply, regulation, and pricing of financial services. Financial services are broadly defined to include banking, risk management, capital markets, mutual funds, insurance, venture capital, consumer and corporate finance, and the technologies used to produce, distribute, and regulate these services. Macro-financial policy issues, including comparative financial systems, the globalization of financial services, and the impact of these phenomena on economic growth and financial stability, are also within the JFSR’s scope of interest. The Journal seeks to promote research that enriches the profession’s understanding of financial services industries, to elevate industry and product efficiencies, as well as to inform the debate and promote the formulation of sound public policies.

It is the aim of this journal to meet two main objectives: to cover the latest research on discrete random structures, and to present applications of such research to problems in combinatorics and computer science. The goal is to provide a natural home for a significant body of current research, and a useful forum for ideas on future studies in randomness. Results concerning random graphs, hypergraphs, matroids, trees, mappings, permutations, matrices, sets and orders, as well as stochastic graph processes and networks are presented with particular emphasis on the use of probabilistic methods in combinatorics as developed by Paul Erdos. The journal focuses on probabilistic algorithms, average case analysis of deterministic algorithms, and applications of probabilistic methods to cryptography, data structures, searching and sorting. The journal also devotes space to such areas of probability theory as percolation, random walks and combinatorial aspects of probability.

Journal Mission

Trust is imperative to constructive social interaction and cooperation at and across all levels. Positioned as a high-impact source journal providing novel ideas for other journals (both academic and practical), the mission of JTR is:

• to inquire into the nature, form, base and role of trust as well as the mechanism and stage of trust-building and trust repair at and across personal, group, organizational, community and national levels so as to facilitate and stimulate informed academic dialogue and debate toward an integrative body of knowledge via both relevant and rigorous theory-building and theory-testing
• to influence individuals, groups, organizations, communities and nations in the choice of practical solutions for their trust-related management by providing the most relevant and rigorous research.

Journal Philosophy

JTR is particularly interested in those studies that are inter-disciplinary, cross-cultural, cross-level, multi-method, context-rich, process-oriented, and practice-relevant in perspectives, so as to effectively investigate the holistic content and dynamic process of organizational and societal trust, without the perils of reductionist assumptions. JTR identifies the above as the emerging trends with the greatest potential to contribute to our rich and deep understanding about the complex phenomenon of trust.

Journal Scope

As an inter-disciplinary and cross-cultural journal dedicated to advancing a cross-level, context-rich, process-oriented, and practice-relevant journal, JTR provides a focal point for an open  dialogue and debate between diverse researchers, thus enhancing the understanding of trust in general and trust-related management in particular, especially in its organizational and social context in the broadest sense. Through both theoretical development and empirical investigation, JTR seeks to open the "black-box" of trust in various contexts.

JTR aims to publish relevant and rigorous research contributing to knowledge in six major domains that are interdisciplinary and cross-cultural:

• General research on trust to build an integrative framework with a common language across disciplines and across cultures (building upon but extending beyond disciplinary and cultural perspectives)
• General research on trust at and across the levels of individual, group, organization,  community, and nation
• Specific research on trust management within and between organizations and societies
• Specific research on interpersonal trust within and between organizations and societies
• Specific research on institutional trust within and between organizations and societies
• Specific research on inter-organizational and social trust within and across nations
