Journal Guide

The aim is to publish research of the highest quality and of lasting significance on the mechanics of solids. The scope is broad, from fundamental concepts in mechanics to the analysis of novel phenomena and applications. Solids are interpreted broadly to include both hard and soft materials as well as natural and synthetic structures. The approach can be theoretical, experimental or computational.This research activity sits within engineering science and the allied areas of applied mathematics, materials science, bio-mechanics, applied physics, and geophysics.The Journal was founded in 1952 by Rodney Hill, who was its Editor-in-Chief until 1968. The topics of interest to the Journal evolve with developments in the subject but its basic ethos remains the same: to publish research of the highest quality relating to the mechanics of solids. Thus, emphasis is placed on the development of fundamental concepts of mechanics and novel applications of these concepts based on theoretical, experimental or computational approaches, drawing upon the various branches of engineering science and the allied areas within applied mathematics, materials science, structural engineering, applied physics, and geophysics.The main purpose of the Journal is to foster scientific understanding of the processes of deformation and mechanical failure of all solid materials, both technological and natural, and the connections between these processes and their underlying physical mechanisms. In this sense, the content of the Journal should reflect the current state of the discipline in analysis, experimental observation, and numerical simulation. In the interest of achieving this goal, authors are encouraged to consider the significance of their contributions for the field of mechanics and the implications of their results, in addition to describing the details of their work.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

The Journal of the Musical Arts in Africa (JMAA) is published by NISC (Pty) Ltd in association with the South African College of Music at the University of Cape Town. It is an accredited, internationally refereed journal that aims to combine ethnomusicological, musicological, music educational and performance-based research in a unique way to promote the musical arts on the African continent. This journal also incorporates book, audio and audiovisual media and software reviews.

The Journal of the National Cancer Institute (print ISSN: 0027-8874, online ISSN: 1460-2105) publishes peer-reviewed original research from around the world and is internationally acclaimed as the source for the most up-to-date news and information from the rapidly changing fields of cancer research and treatment. For the past several years, the JNCI has been ranked as one of the most-cited original-research cancer journals by the Institute of Scientific Information in its annual Journal Citation Reports.JNCI is indexed and abstracted by the following:Abstracts on Hygiene and Communicable DiseasesAgbiotech News and InformationAmerican Statistics IndexAnnals of Behavioral MedicineAbstracts in AnthropologyBiological AbstractsBIOSIS PreviewsCAB AbstractsCINAHLCSA Oncogenes and Growth Factor AbstractsCurrent Contents® /Clinical MedicineCurrent Contents® /Life SciencesDairy Science AbstractsDerwent Drug FileElsevier BIOBASE - Current Awareness in Biological Sciences (CABS)Environmental Science and Pollution ManagementExcerpta Medica Abstract JournalsFood Science and Technology AbstractsGlobal HealthHealth & Safety Science AbstractsIDISINIS AtomindexInternational Pharmaceutical AbstractsJournal Citation Reports /Science EditionNutrition Abstracts and ReviewsNutrition Research NewsletterOncology information servicePharmacoeconomics and Outcome NewsPROQUEST DATABASE : MagazinesPROQUEST DATABASE : MEDLINE with Full TextPROQUEST DATABASE : ProQuest 5000PROQUEST DATABASE : ProQuest 5000 InternationalPROQUEST DATABASE : ProQuest Biology JournalsPROQUEST DATABASE : ProQuest CentralPROQUEST DATABASE : ProQuest DiscoveryPROQUEST DATABASE : ProQuest Family HealthPROQUEST DATABASE : ProQuest Health & Medical CompletePROQUEST DATABASE : ProQuest International Academic Research LibraryPROQUEST DATABASE : ProQuest Medical LibraryPROQUEST DATABASE : ProQuest News & MagazinesPROQUEST DATABASE : ProQuest Nursing & Allied Health SourcePROQUEST DATABASE : ProQuest Pharma CollectionPROQUEST DATABASE : ProQuest PlatinumPROQUEST DATABASE : ProQuest Research LibraryPubMedProus Science Integrity®Reactions WeeklyReview of Aromatic and Medicinal PlantsReview of Medical and Veterinary MycologyRisk AbstractsRural Development AbstractsSage Race Relations AbstractsScience Citation Index Expanded (SciSearch®)Science Citation Index®Soybean AbstractsThe Standard Periodical DirectoryToxicology AbstractsTropical Diseases BulletinWeed AbstractsJNCI is published twice monthly by Oxford University Press and is not affiliated with the United States National Cancer Institute. .

The Journal of the Neurological Sciences provides a medium for the prompt publication of original articles in neurology and neuroscience from around the world. JNS places special emphasis on articles that: 1) provide guidance to clinicians around the world (Best Practices, Global Neurology); 2) report cutting-edge science related to neurology (Basic and Translational Sciences); 3) educate readers about relevant and practical clinical outcomes in neurology (Outcomes Research); and 4) summarize or editorialize the current state of the literature (Reviews, Commentaries, and Editorials).JNS accepts most types of manuscripts for consideration including original research papers, short communications, reviews, book reviews, letters to the Editor, opinions and editorials. Topics considered will be from neurology-related fields that are of interest to practicing physicians around the world. Examples include neuromuscular diseases, demyelination, atrophies, dementia, neoplasms, infections, epilepsies, disturbances of consciousness, stroke and cerebral circulation, growth and development, plasticity and intermediary metabolism.The fields covered may include neuroanatomy, neurochemistry, neuroendocrinology, neuroepidemiology, neurogenetics, neuroimmunology, neuroophthalmology, neuropathology, neuropharmacology, neurophysiology, neuropsychology, neuroradiology, neurosurgery, neurooncology, neurotoxicology, restorative neurology, and tropical neurology.The Journal of the Neurological Sciences is the official Journal of the World Federation of Neurology http://www.wfneurology.org/.
