Journal of Visual Literacy ( JVL), formerly known as Journal of Visual/Verbal Languaging, is the oldest international journal in the field of visual literacy. JVL is the official scholarly journal of the International Visual Literacy Association (IVLA). The journal publishes papers on visual literacy that cover a wide range of disciplines including education, instructional technology, communication, business, science, and the arts. Visual literacy is continually changing as new forms of multimedia and interactive technologies add new dimensions to visual communication. JVL is dedicated to publishing papers by international scholars, educators, artists, and practitioners that showcase the eclectic nature, range and diversity of visual literacy research and applications.

Visualization is an interdisciplinary imaging science devoted to making the invisible visible through the techniques of experimental visualization and computer-aided visualization. This official journal of the Visualization Society of Japan presents the latest visualization technology and its applications. It is published in full color in order to realize its mission of promoting a better understanding of complex phenomena. The journal consists of papers, such as short paper, review paper, regular paper, and report.

JoVE, the Journal of Visualized Experiments, is the world's first peer reviewed scientific video journal. Established in 2006, JoVE is devoted to publishing scientific research in a visual format to help researchers overcome two of the biggest challenges facing the scientific research community today; poor reproducibility and the time and labor intensive nature of learning new experimental techniques. All JoVE articles are indexed in subject-relevant indexing sites, including PubMed/MEDLINE, SciFinder and Scopus Publishing in JoVE allows authors to dynamically present their methods, data analyses and results clearly, accurately, and professionally with the guidance of JoVE's professional videographers and editors JoVE has published thousands of video articles from top research institutions around the world.

The Journal of Vocational Behavior publishes empirical and theoretical articles that expand knowledge of vocational behavior and career development across the life span. Research presented in the journal encompasses the general categories of career choice, implementation, and vocational adjustment and adaptation. The articles contribute to a theoretical understanding of career choice and vocational adjustment and are also valuable for applications in counseling and career development programs in colleges and universities, business and industry, government, and the military. A particularly useful feature is the annual review of research in vocational behavior published in the October issue.Research Areas include:• Career development and choice• Evaluations of measuring instruments and assessment methods• Job satisfaction• Multiple role management and functioning• Occupational stereotyping• Vocational and career adjustment• Work commitment and involvement• Work stress and strain• Work-related transitionsSpecial subscription rates of 114 USD for 2014 are available for members of the Society for Judgment and Decision Making (http://www.sjdm.org/), the Organizational Behavior Division of the Academy of Management (http://www.obweb.org/), and the Society of Industrial and Organizational Psychology (http://www.siop.org/).
