Journal Guide

Museum History Journal welcomes the submission of manuscripts, proposals for edited collections of thematically related papers, and proposals for symposium and conference-session proceedings. We interpret "museum" broadly to provide a multidisciplinary forum for studies of a variety of museum-related topics including the histories of institutions, exhibitions, collections, architecture, and individuals’ biographies. Museum types may include not only anthropology, archaeology, art, history, medical, natural history, and science and technology, but related institutions, such as aquaria, arboreta, archives, botanical gardens, historical societies and sites, planetariums, and zoos as well. We also encourage fresh scholarly approaches that integrate historical studies with the methodologies of other humanities and social science disciplines.

For more than 30 years, Polymer Engineering & Science has been one of the most highly regarded journals in the field, serving as a forum for authors of treatises on the cutting edge of polymer science and technology.

Engineers, researchers, technicians, and academicians worldwide are looking to PE&S for the valuable information they need. There are special issues compiled by distinguished guest editors. These contain proceedings of symposia on such diverse topics as polyblends, mechanics of plastics and polymer welding.

IJU Case Reports is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal that considers new observations of diseases, clinical findings or novel/unique treatment outcomes relevant to practitioners in urology.

As healthcare professionals, authors, and publishers ourselves, the IJU Case Reports editors believe in the value of case reports and know how hard they can be to write and publish.

IJU Case Reports accepts only cases of exceptional interest and novelty. All clinical cases should be reported in a way that provide evidence showing adequate steps have been taken to minimize harm, to avoid coercion or exploitation, to protect confidentiality, to minimize the risk of physical and psychological damage, and to respect autonomy.

Authors should kindly note that submission implies that the content has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere except as a brief abstract in the proceedings of a scientific meeting or symposium.
