Journal Guide

Soils and Foundations is your core geotechnical journal from Asia; the official journal of the Japanese Geotechnical Society (JGS). The journal publishes a variety of original research paper, technical reports, technical notes, as well as the state-of-the-art reports upon invitation by the Editor, in the fields of soil and rock mechanics, geotechnical engineering, and environmental geotechnics. Since the publication of Volume 1, No.1 issue in June 1960, Soils and Foundations celebrated the 50th anniversary in the year of 2010.Soils and Foundations welcomes theoretical as well as practical work associated with the aforementioned field(s). Case studies that describe the original and interdisciplinary work applicable to geotechnical engineering are particularly encouraged. Discussions to each of the published articles are also welcomed in order to provide an avenue in which opinions of peers may be fed back or exchanged. In providing latest expertise on a specific topic, one issue out of six per year on average was allocated to include selected papers from the International Symposia which were held in Japan as well as overseas.

Stanislavski Studies is a peer-reviewed journal with an international scope. It focuses not only on Stanislavski’s work as actor, director and teacher but more broadly on his influence and legacy which can be seen in the work of many of the twentieth-century’s most influential theatre-makers: these will include Lee Strasberg, Sanford Meisner, Michael Chekhov, Stella Adler, Vakhtangov, Komissarjevsky, Meyerhold and the many others who were directly influenced by Stanislavski’s theories and practice.

Intended to be accessible to both the academic reader and the practitioner, Stanislavski Studies collects together some of the best contemporary, international scholarship, translations of original articles written in Russian, and information about major research resources. As a forum for the analysis and discussion of the history, legacy and application of Stanislavski’s theories it will publish articles that investigate, take issue with, and consider the applications of his theories to contemporary theatre. The journal will contain reviews of essential new publications in the field, interviews and profiles, occasional play texts and discussion papers.

The journal will be of interest to academics and professional practitioners and teachers interested in acting, directing, international theatre research, scenography, dramaturgy, voice and movement, Russian, non-Western and popular theatre forms.

Studia Neophilologica publishes articles on English, German and the Romance languages and literatures, and reviews of books in these fields.The contributions represent both historically oriented research and synchronic and structural studies, and the journal is not limited to any particular linguistic or literary period. Many articles concern methodological questions within the fields of general linguistics and literary theory. The majority of the contributions, however, investigate specific linguistic problems or deal with specific literary texts.The journal thus covers a wide and diversified field in its attempt to mirror the problems that concern today's researchers in the fields of English, German and Romance studies.Contributions are invited from scholars all over the world. Although a certain preference is accorded to Scandinavian authors, there has generally been room for valuable contributions from other parts of the world, and the journal can count among its contributors a large number of distinguished scholars from many different countries.Studia Neophilologica was founded in 1928 by R.E. Zachrisson. It is published for the association F246;reningen f246;r Studia Neophilologica, Uppsala.

Studies in Family Planning is a peer-reviewed, international journal publishing public health, social science, and biomedical research on sexual and reproductive health, fertility, and family planning, with a primary focus on developing countries. Each issue contains original research articles, reports, commentaries, data papers, and book reviews. Studies in Family Planning is published quarterly.

The journal has a two-tiered review process. Preliminary review is the initial screening that each manuscript undergoes to assess appropriateness of topic and treatment, its accessibility and interest to our readership, and its contribution to the journal's overall diversity and balance. The paper is read by members of the Editorial Committee and discussed at a monthly meeting. If a paper does not pass preliminary review, the author receives early notification—though without detailed comments—and is able to submit it to another journal without undue loss of time. Papers that pass preliminary review are sent out to two or more referees. Authors of articles sent out for peer review can expect written comments and a decision about their paper approximately three months after submission. Submissions should be not under consideration elsewhere when submitting to Studies.

Since its launch in 1987, Textual Practice has been Britain's principal international journal of radical literary studies, continually pressing theory into new engagements. Today, as customary relations among disciplines and media are questioned and transformed, Textual Practice works at the turning points of theory with politics, history and texts. It is intrigued by the processes through which hitherto marginal cultures of ethnicity and sexuality are becoming conceptually central, and by the consequences of these diverse disturbances for educational and cultural institutions.Peer Review Policy:All review papers in this journal have undergone editorial screening and peer review.View forthcoming special issues for the journal hereDisclaimerTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.
