The International Journal of Epidemiology is an essential requirement for anyone who needs to keep up to date with epidemiological advances and new developments throughout the world. It encourages communication among those engaged in the research, teaching, and application of epidemiology of both communicable and non-communicable disease, including research into health services and medical care. Also covered are new methods, epidemiological and statistical, for the analysis of data used by those who practise social and preventive medicine. The International Journal of Epidemiology is published six times yearly.

EIoP is a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary E-journal in the field of European integration research. Scholarly contributions from all relevant disciplines are welcome, e.g. from legal studies, political science, economics, sociology, and history."European integration research" is to be understood in a broad sense. The following hints are intended to circumscribe what we mean by "European integration research":*legislative and political processes of the EU and its institutions;*subjects dealing with the growing together of the European states and peoples;*comparisons between policies, societies or legal systems between at least two European states;*effects of European integration on the member states;*policies and activities of other European international institutions (Council of Europe, OECD, etc.);*common policies of the European states vis-à-vis third countries or other supranational/international institutions.

Sociologia Internationalis has given itself a new title for its 50th anniversary: »European Journal for Cultural Research«. It publishes articles in German, English, French and Spanish. This concept is based on the approach that sociology is a discipline characterized by social traditions, including national traditions and conditions. Not least, its wealth of theories, insights, instruments and perspectives is due to the conceptual work in the various languages. Internationality in science should maintain and communicate this diversity but not melt it down into one language and tradition of thought. In this regard, the journal stands for a European path of inter-nationality in the mutual discourse of science.

The European Journal of Philosophy of Science publishes groundbreaking works in Philosophy of Science that can deepen our understanding of the world as well as being of direct interest to scientists and to citizens and policymakers who make use of science. The journal is open for philosophy of science articles from all traditions and all backgrounds. Although founded in Europe, the journal welcomes articles from every part of the world. The EJPS is the official journal for the European Philosophy of Science Association.

The most important function of a sport sociological journal like the European Journal for Sport and Society (EJSS) is to enable an international discussion about current issues and to foster collaboration between researchers from all social scientific sub-disciplines.

The EJSS is therefore a platform for multi-thematic sociological reflections on a broad variety of themes, theoretical approaches and empirical methods in sport sociological research. The EJSS is open for articles about sport, physical education, recreation, the social body and movement cultures. In addition to sociological approaches, historical, socio-psychological, political and economic perspectives are appreciated as well.
