The Journal of Microencapsulation is a well-established, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the publication of original research findings related to the preparation, properties and uses of individually encapsulated novel small particles, as well as significant improvements to tried-and-tested techniques relevant to micro and nano particles and their use in a wide variety of industrial, engineering, pharmaceutical, biotechnology and research applications. Its scope extends beyond conventional microcapsules to all other small particulate systems such as self assembling structures that involve preparative manipulation.The journal covers:*the chemistry of encapsulation materials;*the physics of release through the capsule wall and/or desorption from carrier;*the techniques of preparation;*content and storage;*the many uses to which microcapsules are put.Nanotechnology is now moving into medicine as nanomedicine; an emerging speciality with great potential in the development of unique opportunities for more refined targeting and for new therapeutic approaches to diagnose and treat life threatening diseases. Therefore, coverage also includes nanotechnological advances in the design and synthesis of these structures and their potential applications. Furthermore, there is an extensive information and reference section found in every issue of the journal comprising patent briefings. This publication is aimed at a broad, interdisciplinary audience of academic and industrial researchers actively engaged in basic and applied laboratory practice, related to engineering micro- and nano-structured particles, including pharmaceutical science, medicine, photographic and copying processes, food technology, agrochemicals, adhesives and all those interested in small particle science and technology.

Frequency: 12 issues per year.Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering covers all aspects of microelectromechanical structures, devices, and systems, as well as micromechanics and micromechatronics. The journal focuses on original work in fabrication and integration technologies, on the micro- and nano-scale. The journal aims to highlight the link between new fabrication technologies and their capacity to create novel devices. Original work in microengineering and nanoengineering is also reported. Such work is defined as applications of these fabrication and integration technologies to structures in which key attributes of the devices or systems depend on specific micro- or nano-scale features. Such applications span the physical, chemical, electrical and biological realms. New fabrication and integration techniques for both silicon and non-silicon materials are reported. Relevant modelling papers in micro- and nanoengineering are reported where supported by experimental data. The journal also covers integration of interface electronics with micro- and nanoengineered systems, as well as vacuum microelectronics, microfabricated electrically passive elements, and other micro- or nanoengineering-enabled electrical devices.A submission to Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering must be the original work of the author(s) and must not be published elsewhere or be under consideration for another publication in its submitted or a substantially similar form in any language. Contributions in the following categories may be submitted.

The Journal of Micropalaeontology (JM) is well-established as an international publication with a circulation approaching 900 copies covering all aspects of microfossils and their application both in applied studies and basic research.The current Editor-in-Chief, Professor Alan Lord (Forschungsinstitut Senckenberg), is supported by a board of specialist editors.This journal is published on behalf of The Micropalaeontological Society (TMS).The scope of the journal has always been broad, especially to show the application of microfossils to solving geological problems, but with an emphasis on taxonomy. The principal fields of interest are: biostratigraphy; evolution; palaeobiology; palaeoenvironments; reviews; taxonomic studies.The emphasis will be on applications. Our aim is to attract high-quality papers that will prove to be influential in the development of our science.

Journal of Microscopy provides an international & interdisciplinary forum for dissemination of original applications and developments in microscopy. The Journal is for scientists and technologists, who develop, advance or apply any form of microscopy, spatially resolved spectroscopy, compositional mapping & image analysis. Journal of Microscopy publishes original research articles, quality review articles, Hot Topic papers, and letters to the Editor, covering all aspects of microscopy and analysis. This includes cutting-edge technology and innovative applications in physics, chemistry, material and biological sciences. Hot Topic papers are concise contributions on topics of high current interest to the microscopy community. Upon acceptance, Hot Topic papers are fast-tracked and most are published online within 30 days of acceptance.

JMAU is ideal for publication of papers of significant contribution to knowledge in biology, medicine, materials science, chemistry, engineering, geosciences, and agriculture. The Journal also hosts papers concerned with the application of advanced microscopic techniques in histology, cytology, and specimen preparation.

JMAU welcomes review articles, original research papers, short technical notes, short communications, and letters to the Editors.

The Journal of the Microwave Power Energy (JMPEE) is a quarterly publication of the International Microwave Power Institute (IMPI), aimed to be one of the primary sources of the most reliable information in the arts and sciences of microwave and RF technology. JMPEE provides space to engineers and researchers for presenting papers about non-communication applications of microwave and RF, mostly industrial, scientific, medical and instrumentation. Topics include, but are not limited to: applications in materials science and nanotechnology, characterization of biological tissues, food industry applications, green chemistry, health and therapeutic applications, microwave chemistry, microwave processing of materials, soil remediation, and waste processing.

The main mission of the Journal of Microwaves, Optoelectronics and Electromagnetic Applications is to disseminate scientific and technical knowledge in the fields of Microwaves, Optoelectronics and Applied Electromagnetism.

JMEWS (Journal of Middle East Women's Studies) is the official publication of the Association for Middle East Womens Studies and is a benefit of membership. Its purpose is to advance the fields of Middle East women's studies, gender studies, and Middle East studies through contributions across disciplines in the social sciences and humanities. JMEWS, which is published three times a year, publishes research informed by transnational feminist studies, cultural studies, modern historical studies, new forms of ethnography, and the emergent intersections of science and philosophy. JMEWS provides a forum in which area-specific questions can be discussed and debated among authors from the global north and south, through scholarly articles, book and film reviews, and other forms of communication.

Free to access! - Editorial by Martin L. Cook and Henrik Syse from 9.2What Should We Mean by 'Military Ethics'?Journal of Military Ethics (JME) is an international, peer-reviewed journal devoted to normative aspects of military force. The journal publishes articles discussing justifications for the resort to military force (jus ad bellum) and/or what may justifiably be done in the use of such force (jus in bello). The scope of JME also includes research/discussion on ethical issues in military training, as well as the post-conflict role of military forces.JME seeks to include articles from a variety of academic disciplines and cultural backgrounds. Articles may adopt theoretical, empirical, or historical approaches.Peer Review PolicyAll research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and subsequent anonymized refereeing.
