Peer-reviewed, lively and highly interdisciplinary, Time & Mind presents new perspectives on landscape, monuments, people and culture. The journal features scholarly work addressing cognitive aspects of cross-related disciplines such as archaeology, anthropology and psychology that can shape our understanding of archaeological sites, landscapes and pre-modern worldviews. It also explores how modern minds create images of the past, and addresses how new findings about prehistory can inspire current research on the brain and consciousness.

This journal is devoted to research articles in all areas of pure and applied mathematics. To be published in the Transactions, a paper must be correct, new, and significant. Further, it must be well written and of interest to a substantial number of mathematicians. Piecemeal results, such as an inconclusive step toward an unproved major theorem or a minor variation on a known result, are in general not acceptable for publication. Papers of less than 15 printed pages that meet the above criteria should be submitted to the Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society. Published pages are the same size as those generated in the style files provided for AMS-LaTeX or AMS-TeX.

'From the microscope to clinical application!', Scientists from all European countries make available their recent research results and practical experience through Wiener Medizinische Wochenschrift, the renowned English- and German-language forum.

Operations Research Letters is a publication for literature on all aspects of operations research and the management and decision sciences. The features distinguishing it from other journals in the field are* Concise articles, generally limited to 6 journal pages* Extended abstracts of two to four, announcing results without full proofs;* Rapid review and fast publication;* Broad coverage of the literature.Apart from the page limitation, originality, relevance, quality and clarity are the only criteria for selecting the material to be published. A sound methodological basis is a requirement, but technical correctness alone is not sufficient for publication. The subject matter can be theory, methodology, empirical studies, and applications. The mainstream of contributions focuses on new models, theorems, algorithms, and experimental work that the author wants to disseminate rapidly. We will publish theory and methodology with proofs omitted or only sketched, provided that the author submits support material that enables us to verify the findings. We will also publish computational and experimental studies that are not necessarily based on new theory or methodology, but are of significant scientific value because they confirm or refute prior results. Similarly, we will publish reports on applications and case studies that demonstrate a novel use of existing techniques or contain significant ideas about data collection and analysis, modelling, or implementation.Area Editors:Approximation and heuristicsGerhard J. WoegingerThe area covers all issues relevant to the development of efficient approximate solutions to computationally difficult problems.

All results are welcome aslong as the relevance of a problem and significance of the contribution is made compellingly clear.Stochastic networks &queuesJohn HasenbeinThe area focuses on networks and queueing systems where stochastic variability and uncertainty play a crucial role. The area seeks papers that propose original models and develop novel analytical or computational methods. Innovative ideas and broad results receive precedence over incremental extensions or niche areas.

Inquiry is an Interdisciplinary Journal of Philosophy. Founded by Arne Naess in 1958, Inquiry has come to occupy a distinctive and highly valued place amongst the philosophical journals. Inquiry is a refereed journal, publishing in all areas of philosophy. It has made its most distinctive mark in fostering exchange across the various internal boundaries and barriers that characterized philosophy over the past century. It has been a significant force in breaking down the distinction between so-called 'analytic' and 'continental' philosophy; it seeks to connect the history of philosophy with its current practice; it has been a venue for cross-fertilization between philosophy and the social sciences; and it seeks connections between fundamental philosophical issues and contemporary cultural developments. Inquiry publishes research articles, symposia, special issues, target articles, review essays, art reviews and critical discussions. Under the leadership of a distinguished international editorial board, the journal has created a forum presenting a wide range of material of the highest standard from philosophers across the world, reflecting the best thinking from a variety of philosophical perspectives, in a way that is accessible to all.
