Research into spoken language has become increasingly accessible to instrumental analysis and experimental verification. They are the underpinning of Phonetic Science for the investigation of speech in communicative settings across the world’s languages. Reflecting this communicative Phonetic Science, 'Phonetica' is an international and interdisciplinary forum that covers all aspects of the subject matter, from the phonetic and phonological descriptions of sounds and prosodies to the measuring domains of speech physiology, articulation, acoustics, and perception. 'Phonetica' thus provides a platform for a comprehensive representation of speaker-hearer interaction in languages and dialects. Papers published in this journal report expert original work dealing both with theoretical issues and with new empirical data.

PhytoKeys is a peer-reviewed, open access, rapidly published journal, launched to accelerate research and free information exchange in taxonomy, phylogeny, biogeography and evolution of plants. The journal applies cutting-edge technologies in publishing and preservation of digital materials to meet the highest possible standards of the cybertaxonomy era.

PhytoKeys publishes papers in systematic Botany containing taxonomic/floristic data on any taxon of any geological age from any part of the world on the following topics: descriptions of new taxa, taxonomic revisions of extant and fossil plant groups, checklists and catalogues, phylogenetic and evolutionary analyses, papers in descriptive and/or historical biogeography, methodology papers, monographs, etc. Extensive floristic overviews on a group in a country or larger region are welcome. Short floristic contributions may be considered if they are based on significant or unexpected discovery.

Coverage extends to the most corners of regular plant and agricultural biology, including Plant common and molecular biology, genetics, functional and non-functional plant molecular breeding and physiology, developmental biology, bioinformatics and new technologies such as plant vaccines. This journal also covers the combination of many areas of plant biology. Plant Omics encourages researchers to submit their valuable manuscripts for publication and also invites editors and reviewers to join editorial team all around the world. It can be easily done by a click on "Register as Reviewer" icon above. The journal presents full-length research articles that describe original and fundamental findings of significance that contribute to understanding of plants, as well as shorter communications reporting significant new findings, technical notes on new methodology. Review articles are also warmly welcome.

Science Partner Journal Plant Phenomics is an online-only Open Access journal published in affiliation with the State Key Laboratory of Crop Genetics & Germplasm Enhancement, Nanjing Agricultural University (NAU) and distributed by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). The mission of Plant Phenomics is to publish novel research that will advance all aspects of plant phenotyping from the cell to the plant population levels using innovative combinations of sensor systems and data analytics. Plant Phenomics aims also to connect phenomics to other science domains, such as genomics, genetics, physiology, molecular biology, bioinformatics, statistics, mathematics, and computer sciences. Plant Phenomics should thus contribute to advance plant sciences and agriculture/forestry/horticulture by addressing key scientific challenges in the area of plant phenomics.

The Review of Development Economics is a leading journal publishing high-quality research in development economics. The Review of Development Economics publishes rigorous analytical papers, theoretical and empirical, which deal with contemporary growth problems of developing countries, including the transition economies. The Review not only serves as a link between theorists and practitioners, but also builds a bridge between development economists and their colleagues in related fields. While the level of the Review of Development Economics is academic, the materials presented are of value to policy-makers and researchers, especially those in developing countries. The Review is a refereed journal, devoted to the publication of high-quality manuscripts on a wide range of topics in development economics, including:

Jahrbuch für Regionalwissenschaft is a publication of the German-speaking section of the Regional Science Association International, Gesellschaft für Regionalforschung. Since its inception in 1980 the journal's central aim has been to publish high quality papers providing new and substantial contributions to theoretical as well as empirical issues in regional science. Submitted manuscripts are subject to a mutually anonymous referee-process. The journal is interdisciplinarily orientated with its scientific scope including in particular economics, geography, sociology, spatial and urban planning, population science, resource management as well as communication and transportation. Dealing with spatially related issues from this embracing spectre of disciplines, the journal is unique in the German-speaking sphere.

The international journal on Road Materials and Pavement Design welcomes contributions on mechanical, thermal, chemical and/or physical properties of bitumens, additives, bituminious mixes, asphalt concrete, cement concrete, unbound granular materials, soils, geo-composites, new and innovative materials, as well as mix design, soil stabilization, and environmental aspects of handling and re-use of road materials.The Journal also intends to offer a platform for the publication of research of immediate interest regarding design and modeling of pavement behavior and performance, structural evaluation, stress, strain and thermal characterization and/or calculation, vehicule/road interaction, climatic effects and numerical and analytical modeling. The different layers of the road, including the soil, are considered.
