Journal Guide

The International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control is a peer reviewed journal focusing on scientific and engineering developments in greenhouse gas control through capture and storage at large stationary emitters in the power sector and in other major resource, manufacturing and production industries. The Journal covers all greenhouse gas emissions within the power and industrial sectors, and comprises both technical and non-technical related literature in one volume. Original research, review and comments papers are included.The scope of the journal (whilst not exclusive to) includes:CO2 CaptureNew research results relevant for large scale CO2 capture systems using chemical solvents, solid sorbents, chemical looping, calcium looping, membranes and membrane reactors and hybrid systems, PSA, cryogenics etc.Advances in CO2 capture processes (post combustion, pre combustion, oxy combustion) for power plants, cement and steel plants, refineries, petrochemicals, and other large industriesExperimental results at pilot level from laboratory scale to demonstration, and relevant modelling work for scaling upCO2 capture process simulation for energy penalty reductions.

IJGUC addresses grid and utility computing which represent fundamental paradigms for next-generation parallel and distributed computing systems, enabling distant collaboration, resource discovery/sharing, data-intensive applicative infrastructures and high-throughput environments to address on-demand large-scale scientific, engineering, and business problems. Grid and utility computing have significantly contributed to the advancement of cloud computing, e-science, high performance computing, virtual organisations and collaboration, scientific workflows, and service-oriented architectures. They exploit synergies with different areas such as peer-to-peer computing, semantic web, wireless/mobile technologies, and computational intelligence.

The International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics publishes articles on all aspects of basic and clinical research in the fields of obstetrics and gynecology and related subjects, with emphasis on matters of worldwide interest.

The International Journal of Health Care Finance and Economics deals with the problems of financing a health care system and financing’s impact on health care performance. It examines why people choose alternative arrangements, either in markets or through the political process. In addition, it demonstrates the link between financing of health care and methods of payment for health care and, in turn, the link between payment and the supply decisions of health care providers.The journal focuses on contributions that integrate theoretical and empirical work, evaluate conflicting findings, or compare experiences among countries and jurisdictions. Papers analyze the behavior and interaction of consumers, providers, insurers, and governments under the influence of health care finance and regulation.

Officially cited as: Int J Health Care Finance Econ

Publishing work that contributes to the continuous improvement of health care organisations, providing a forum for current thinking on the theoretical and practical aspects of quality and management in health care.

The focus of the International Journal of Health Economics and Management is on health care systems and on the behavior of consumers, patients, and providers of such services. The links among management, public policy, payment, and performance are core topics of the journal.

The demand for health care and its cost remain central concerns. Even as medical innovation allows providers to improve the lives of their patients, questions remain about how to efficiently deliver health care services, how to pay for them, and who should pay for them. Innovators, providers, and payers in the public and private sectors are faced with these questions every day. One key to answering these questions is to understand how people choose among alternative arrangements, either in markets or through the political process. The choices made by healthcare managers concerning the organization and production of that care are also crucial. There is an important connection between the management of a health care system and its economic performance.

The primary audience for this journal will be health economists and researchers in health management, along with the larger group of health services researchers. In addition, research and policy analysis reported in the journal should be of interest to health care providers, managers and policymakers.
