The Journal of Marketing for Higher Education is a well-established, double-blind peer reviewed, international journal that publishes original research and review articles. It has been publishing articles on higher education marketing since 1988 and is international in outlook with a readership and papers from across the world. The Journal of Marketing for Higher Education is a multi-disciplinary journal and welcomes papers from all the major disciplines that connect with the marketing of higher education. The journal aims to publish:Challenging articles on higher education marketing, marketing ethics, services marketing, consumer behaviour, economic and policy dilemmas from across the world that make a contribution to critical theory and empirical research which stimulates debate and develops knowledge in the field.Papers on key aspects of the interface between markets and higher education which aim to provide a critical forum for the appraisal of theory, practice and ethics where marketing has a role to play in higher education, nationally and internationally.Papers which critically engage with theoretical and empirical issues drawn from as wide a range of perspectives as possible in the context of markets, marketisation, ethics and higher education.The objectives of the journal are as follows:To bridge the disciplines of marketing and higher education and to address the emerging issues, debates, and research findings concerning the role that marketing has to play in policy making and the management of universities world-wide. To explore, evaluate and critically analyze the overall management of the marketing function within higher education institutions with a particular focus on issues of concern to policy makers and senior managers in higher education institutions. To publish rigorous, empirical research results related to all aspects of higher education marketing.To publish discursive papers on critical theory, conceptual developments, and critiques of higher education marketing and to encourage responses and discussion on articles.To provide a vehicle for the advancement of knowledge and debate in the field of higher education marketing and to stimulate further research in this area.To debate and theorize about the role of marketing as an orientation of management in higher education institutions worldwide.Peer Review Policy: All review papers in this journal have undergone editorial screening and peer review.

For more than 70 years, Journal of Marriage and Family (JMF) has been a leading research journal in the family field. JMF features original research and theory, research interpretation and reviews, and critical discussion concerning all aspects of marriage, other forms of close relationships, and families.

This outstanding journal is devoted to stimulating and contributing to reasoned discussions of mass media ethics and morality among academic and professional groups in the various branches and subdisciplines of communication and ethics. By bridging the gap between academicians and professionals interested in issues concerning mass media, the journal stimulates mutually beneficial dialogues between these two groups. It publishes original essays exploring the philosophical bases of decisions, reports from empirical studies, and literature searches and reviews dealing with mass media content and the behavior of practitioners in journalism, broadcasting, public relations, advertising, and other mass communication disciplines.Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

The Journal of Mass Spectrometry publishes papers on a broad range of topics of interest to scientists working in both fundamental and applied areas involving the study of gaseous ions. The aim of JMS is to serve the scientific community with information provided and arranged to help senior investigators to better stay abreast of new discoveries and studies in their own field, to make them aware of events and developments in associated fields, and to provide students and newcomers the basic tools with which to learn fundamental and applied aspects of mass spectrometry. The scope of the journal is wide, encompassing all aspects of mass spectrometry. Suitable topics include, but are not restricted to, instrument design and development, ionization processes, mechanisms and energetics of gaseous ion reactions, spectroscopy of gaseous ions, theoretical aspects, ion structure, analysis of compounds of biological interest, methodology development, applications to elemental analysis and inorganic chemistry, computer-related applications and developments, and environmental chemistry and other fields that utilize innovative aspects of mass spectrometry as a critical component of the work. General Information JMS will publish original research articles, accelerated communications and letters to the editor. In addition, special features include Perspective, Tutorial, Historical and Review articles. Book reviews, conference reports and forthcoming events will also be published. Manuscripts submitted for possible publication in JMS should follow the general format described below and must be original works by the authors, with the exception of referenced materials or passages used with the written consent of the copyright holder. Also, the manuscript must not have been, nor will be, submitted for publication elsewhere at any time during its consideration by JMS. In multi-authored papers, while a designated author will be the person the Journal will correspond with, it is understood that this author will bear the burden of communicating with all authors and represent their joint decisions. The copyright of published articles belongs to John Wiley and Sons. Authors are encouraged to sign and send in the Copyright Transfer Agreement , which may be printed from this Web site, together with the manuscript at the time of submission, to prevent possible publication delay. Manuscripts will not be published without this properly executed form. In the event the manuscript is declined for publication in JMS, this form is void and will be destroyed.

JMC is concerned with the relationship between artefacts and social relations irrespective of time and place and aims to systematically explore the linkage between the construction of social identities and the production and use of culture.

The Journal of Material Cycles and Waste Management has a twofold focus: research in technical, political, and environmental problems of material cycles and waste management; and information that contributes to the development of an interdisciplinary science of material cycles and waste management. Its aim is to develop solutions and prescriptions for material cycles. The journal publishes original articles, reviews, and invited papers from a wide range of disciplines related to material cycles and waste management. The journal is published in cooperation with the Japan Society of Material Cycles and Waste Management (JSMCWM) and the Korea Society of Waste Management (KSWM).

Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C cover high quality studies across all fields of materials chemistry. The journals focus on those theoretical or experimental studies that report new understanding, applications, properties and synthesis of materials. Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C are separated by the intended application of the material studied. Broadly, materials with potential applications in energy and sustainability are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry A, with example topic areas including (but not limited to): Artificial photosynthesis, batteries, carbon dioxide conversion, catalysis, fuel cells, gas capture/separation/storage, green/sustainable materials, hydrogen generation and storage, photocatalysis, photovoltaics, self-cleaning and self-healing materials, sensors, supercapacitors, thermoelectrics, water splitting, and water treatment.
