Nationalism & Ethnic Politics explores the varied political aspects of nationalism and ethnicity in order to develop more constructive inter-group relations. The journal publishes case studies and comparative and theoretical analyses. It deals with pluralism, ethno-nationalism, irredentism, separatism, and related phenomena, and examines processes and theories of ethnic identity formation, mobilization, conflict and accommodation in the context of political development and 'nation-building'. The journal compares and contrasts state and community claims, and deal with such factors as citizenship, race, religion, economic development, immigration, language, and the international environment. Peer Review Policy:All articles submitted to this journal undergo a 8220;double-blind8221; anonymous peer review by at least two referees.

Chaos, Solitons & Fractals aims to be a leading journal in the interdisciplinary field of Nonlinear Science, and Nonequilibrium and Complex Phenomena. It encourages the submission of articles on the following subjects in this field: dynamics; non-equilibrium processes in physics, chemistry and geophysics; complex matter and networks; mathematical models; computational biology; applications to quantum and mesoscopic phenomena; fluctuations and random processes; self-organization; social phenomena.The journal can only accept papers whose primary subject area lies within the above Aims & Scope. In particular, please take notice of the following:• Papers of a more applied or engineering nature can be considered when they are closely connected to one of the subjects of the journal and contribute to a better understanding of that subject.• In order to be acceptable, manuscripts on integrable systems should at least attempt a connection to physical insight or new qualitative features. The word “Solitons” should be understood as a label especially extended to all nonlinear integrable systems in complex natural phenomena. The paper should not bear on some explicit formulae, some standard solutions, constructions, or asymptotic methods.• The journal is interested in articles providing strong insights in the mathematical theory of fractals that play an important role either in understanding the general theory or are profound for an important particular application, especially in complex systems. Numerical computations should only assist the developed results. Also welcome are the discovery of new fractals that are crucial for important applications.The subject listing is specified further in the journal's classification list. Authors are required to specify matching classifications upon submission of their work.Note for authors:Plagiarism is unethical behaviour and is not tolerated at Chaos, Solitons & Fractals. All manuscripts submitted to Chaos, Solitons & Fractals will be checked for originality using the CrossCheck database.

The Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science (JAAWS) publishes reports and articles on methods of experimentation, husbandry, and care that demonstrably enhance the welfare of nonhuman animals on farms, in laboratories, in wildlife/zoo settings, and as companions. JAAWS is a joint project of The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) and Society & Animals Forum (formerly PSYETA). Each issue includes several reports covering scientific experiments or demonstrations that present evidence relating to issues of applied animal welfare science. The editors also encourage submission of brief scientific reports based on less formal studies and observations on the ground, as well as of literature reviews and conference reports. JAAWS also publishes feature articles that present particularly significant or provocative contributions to our understanding of animal welfare--new empirical data or reevaluations of available data, or conceptual or theoretical analysis. These feature articles are accompanied by several invited commentaries that critically discuss the contribution--particularly in regard to its implications for animal welfare. All submitted manuscripts are peer-reviewed by a panel of section editors who oversee an even more complete review by a distinguished board of editors. Content areas of animal welfare and their respective section editors are as follows: Companion: Gary J. Patronek, Tufts University, Farm: Suzanne Millman, University of Guelph, Canada, Laboratory: Vera Baumans, Utrecht University, The Netherlands, Wildlife/Zoo: Emily Weiss, Wichita State University. Peer Review Policy: All articles in this journal are initially screened for appropriateness for the journal by the editor, then assigned to appropriate section editors who oversees refereeing by two reviewers. Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

The goal of Computational Materials Science is to report on results that provide new or unique insights into, or significantly expand our understanding of, the properties of materials or phenomena associated with their design, synthesis, processing, characterization, and utilization.Papers that report on modern materials modeling are of interest, including quantum chemical methods, density functional theory, semi-empirical and classical approaches, statistical mechanics, atomic-scale simulations, mesoscale modeling, phase-field techniques, and finite element methods. Not all topics that potentially fall under the category of computational materials science are appropriate for the journal. For example, submissions that focus on the design of components for structural applications, describe electrical behavior in a device, or characterize thermal or mass transport without extensive accompanying input and associated discussion from computational materials science methods of interest are best suited for other specialized journals.Reports of advances in technical methodologies, and the application of computational materials science to guide, interpret, inspire, or otherwise enhance related experimental materials research are of significant interest as long as the computational methods or results are a primary focus of the manuscript. Contributions on all types of materials systems will be considered in the form of articles, perspectives, and reviews.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
