The Scandinavian Research Council for Criminology, together with the Danish, Finnish, Norwegian and Swedish national crime prevention councils, is publishing this forum of Nordic scientific work on criminology and crime prevention. The Journal provides opportunities to publish in a peer-reviewed context much of such scientific work that would not be easily available in standard international sources as it is actively searching for and encouraging Nordic authors to report in English, convinced that there is much scientifically and practically interesting and relevant work that deserves to be published to the benefit of audiences unable to follow work available only in the Nordic languages.Over the past two decades, crime prevention has developed into one of the central topics in modern scientific criminology. Hence the journal aims to combine criminological and crime prevention orientated scientific works.Features include: crime trends violence research prison studies knowledge-based crime policy orientation gender issues economic crime.

The Journal of Scholarly Publishing addresses the age-old problems in publishing as well as the new challenges resulting from changes in technology and funding. Some articles suggest ways to get effectively published in books and journals, while others address such topics as editorial and publishing policy, computer applications, electronic publishing, effective marketing and business management. In serving the wide-ranging interests of the international academic publishing community, Journal of Scholarly Publishing provides a balanced look at the issues and concerns - from solutions to the everyday problems to commentary on the philosophical questions at large.

The aim of the Journal of School Choice (JSC) is to energize multi-disciplinary scientific analysis and policy discussion with key insights into the nature of every major version of school choice: 1.) public school choice through residence relocation; 2.) district public school choice without relocation; 3.) chartered, non-district public schools; 4.) targeted tuition vouchers; 5.) non-refundable, personal use tuition tax credits; 6.) non-refundable, low income voucher donation tax credit; 7.) refundable tuition tax credits; 8.) 8216;pure' universal tuition vouchers; 9.) option-demand universal tuition vouchers; 10.) formal separation of school and state; 11.) informal, compromised school-state separation; and 12.) de-regulation; allow greater differences in schools. JSC will provide those insights in one of six forms: 1.) News and Views (600 to 1500 words); 2.) Commentary (5000* words); 3.) Surveys (8000* words); 4.) Methodological (8000 words); 5.) Analysis (8000* words); 6.) Book Reviews (1200 words). * recommended limit, but flexible at the editor's discretion.Organizations start new Journals to help meet an under-served scholarly arena; to provide an outlet for academic research that deserves additional attention. Certainly, school choice is seeing growing attention as a key ingredient of reform strategies, and also as an arena in which to compare political accountability to market accountability. Annotated List of School Choice Research Issues Editor Vision StatementJohn Merrifield, Editor, Professor of EconomicsJanuary, 2009I envision the Journal of School Choice as the clearinghouse of scholarly discussion and analysis of the school choice aspects of public policies. The Journal of School Choice will be interdisciplinary and international. Along with empirical analysis of school choice aspects of public policies, the Journal of School Choice will publish peer-reviewed scholarly objective commentary, advocacy, and policy critique. For this journal, that is especially important to my 'Moving Forward' motto. For many of the twelve types of school choice policies, including many that seem likely to have the largest impacts, there is no direct evidence to analyze. Where direct evidence is scarce, scholarly commentary utilizing accepted theory, core principles, and indirect evidence, is the only way to develop insights and increase understanding of likely policy outcomes. The peer reviewed objective commentary, advocacy, and critique pieces I envision are not opinion pieces per se. I view them as heavily referenced exercises in transparent deduction. Of course, scholars will differ in where theory, core principles, alleged evidence, and values lead. The Journal of School Choice will improve understanding of those differences. Scholars have opinions, and learning the basis of them is very insightful.Part of my vision is an active, diverse editorial board. They are part of the review process. So far, authors have received comments from two reviewers, me, plus from 3-7 members of the editorial board within three months of their submission.Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.
