Reflecting the growth of international exchange programmes in an educational context, Study Abroad Research in Second Language Acquisition and International Education has as its focus the role of study abroad in language learning and educational development. In the area of language learning, articles explore all facets of second language acquisition during study abroad such as the nature of linguistic development, input engagement and interaction, and the role of contextual, social and socio-biographical factors underpinning the learner’s experience abroad. The journal also explores issues beyond the linguistic, such as the relationship between study abroad and academic, professional, personal and social development. A complementary area of focus is educational policy and planning issues in study abroad exchange programmes within international education. The journal publishes peer-reviewed articles, thematic issues, invited state-of-the-art articles, and short squibs and research reports.

The application of anatomical research to clinical problems requires selectivity in choosing from numerous publications. Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, the first international journal of Clinical anatomy operates in the spirit that meaningful progress remains to be made. Each issue includes: Original papers, review articles, articles on the anatomical bases of medical, surgical and radiological techniques, articles of normal radiologic anatomy, brief reviews of anatomical publications of clinical interest.Particular attention is given to high quality illustrations, which are indispensable for a better understanding of anatomical problems.Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy is a journal written by anatomists for clinicians with a special interest in anatomy.

Symmetry (ISSN 2073-8994), an international and interdisciplinary scientific journal, publishes reviews, regular research papers and short notes. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. Full experimental and/or methodical details must be provided, so that results can be reproduced. There are in addition three unique features: Manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas will be particularly welcomed.

Papers that merely describe or present a conventional or routine analysis (without novel elements) of existing processes will not be considered.

An official journal of the College English Association, The CEA Critic publishes scholarly works that, through "close reading" methodology, examine the texts of fiction, poetry, drama, nonfiction, and film studied on the college level. Bridging traditional academic scholarship with practical pedagogy, the journal encompasses a broad range of interests gathered traditionally under English studies: literature, womens studies, speech, composition, minority studies, creative writing, popular culture, film studies, technical communication, and ESL (English as a Second Language). By focusing on the contextual rather than the theoretical aspects of works, The CEA Critic provides a refreshingly sharp academic and practical perspective for teachers and scholars alike. Published three times a year in Winter, Spring-Summer, and Fall for the College English Association (CEA).

AI Communications is a journal on Artificial Intelligence (AI) which has a close relationship to ECCAI (the European Coordinating Committee for Artificial Intelligence).

The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics, the official publication of the Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP), co-published by the American Society for Investigative Pathology (ASIP), seeks to publish high quality original papers on scientific advances in the translation and validation of molecular discoveries in medicine into the clinical diagnostic setting, and the description and application of technological advances in the field of molecular diagnostic medicine. The editors welcome for review articles that contain: novel discoveries or clinicopathologic correlations including studies in oncology, infectious diseases, inherited diseases, predisposition to disease, or the description or polymorphisms linked to disease states or normal variations; the application of diagnostic methodologies in clinical trials; or the development of new or improved molecular methods for diagnosis or monitoring of disease or disease predisposition.

The popular culture movement was founded on the principle that the perspectives and experiences of common folk offer compelling insights into the social world. The fabric of human social life is not merely the art deemed worthy to hang in museums, the books that have won literary prizes or been named 'classics,' or the religious and social ceremonies carried out by societies' elite. The Journal of Popular Culture continues to break down the barriers between so-called 'low' and 'high' culture and focuses on filling in the gaps that a neglect of popular culture has left in our understanding of the workings of society.

Recent times have seen an expansion of theoretical and empirical research on real estate using the paradigms and methodologies of finance and economics. Examples of this research include the working and structure of markets, the role of various institutional arrangements, the attention given mortgages and asset securitization, risk management and valuation, and public policy and regulation. The Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics provides a forum for the publication of this research. Coverage includes urban economics, housing, regional science and public policy.Officially cited as: J Real Estate Finance Econ

Third World Thematics ( TWT ) is a sister publication of the established title, Third World Quarterly.  TWT is an online journal devoted to the publication of special issues.

TWT  focuses on the political economy, development and cultures of those parts of the world that have experienced the most political, social and economic upheaval, and which have faced the greatest challenges of the postcolonial world under globalisations: poverty, displacement and diaspora, environmental degradation, human and civil rights abuses, war, hunger and disease.

TWT  serves as a signifier of oppositional emerging economies and cultures, ranging from Africa, Asia, Latin America, Middle East, and even those ‘Souths’ within a larger perceived ‘North’, such as the US Deep South and Mediterranean Europe. The study of these otherwise disparate and discontinuous areas, known collectively as the ‘Global South’, demonstrates that as globalisation pervades the planet, the south, as a synonym for subalterity, also transcends geographical and ideological forms.
