Journal Guide

Metaphysics is an open-access, peer-reviewed online journal publishing current research in the field of metaphysics. It is established and administered by the Canadian Metaphysics Collaborative, an organization founded in Canada in 2015 whose purpose is to facilitate collaboration among Canadian and Canadian-affiliated metaphysicians. The journal publishes up to fifteen articles per year on the topics of contemporary metaphysics and the history of metaphysics on thematic topics that engage with the Aristotelian and neo-Aristotelian traditions. Articles may only be submitted for review after having been presented at the Canadian Metaphysics Collaborative’s annual workshop, or by special request from the editorial board.

Metascience is a review journal which publishes high quality, comprehensive reviews of books in the fields of history and philosophy of science and science and technology studies.Metascience specialises in innovative styles of reviewing, including book symposia, essay reviews, survey reviews and standard reviews. It is the aim of Metascience to have the widest possible coverage. Thus, books which are not reviewed are presented in short descriptive notices.Metascience is non-specialist in that reviews are accessible to a wide cross-section of the science studies community.

METEORITICS & PLANETARY SCIENCE is an international monthly journal of planetary science published by the Meteoritical Society - a scholarly organization promoting research and education in planetary science. First issued in 1953, the journal publishes research articles describing the latest results of new studies, invited reviews of major topics in planetary science, editorials on issues of current interest in the field, and book reviews. The publications are original, not considered for publication elsewhere, and undergo peer-review. The topics include the origin and history of the solar system, planets and natural satellites, interplanetary dust and interstellar medium, lunar samples, meteors, and meteorites, asteroids, comets, craters, and tektites. Our authors and editors are professional scientists representing numerous disciplines, including astronomy, astrophysics, physics, geophysics, chemistry, isotope geochemistry, mineralogy, earth science, geology, and biology. MAPS has subscribers in over 40 countries. Fifty percent of MAPS' readers are based outside the USA. The journal is available in hard copy and online.

The aim of Meteorological Applications is to serve the needs of applied meteorologists, forecasters and users of meteorological services by publishing papers on all aspects of meteorological science, including:

Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics publishes original research papers discussing physical and chemical processes in both clear and cloudy atmospheres. The following topic areas are particularly emphasized: atmospheric dynamics and general circulation; synoptic meteorology; weather systems in specific regions, such as the tropics, the polar caps and the oceans; atmospheric energetics; numerical modeling and forecasting; physical and chemical processes in the atmosphere, including radiation, optical effects, electricity, and atmospheric turbulence and transport processes, and mathematical and statistical techniques applied to meteorological data sets. Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics discusses physical and chemical processes - in both clear and cloudy atmospheres - including radiation, optical and electrical effects, precipitation and cloud microphysics.

Method & Theory in the Study of Religion (MTSR) publishes articles, notes, book reviews and letters which explicitly address the problems of methodology and theory in the academic study of religion. This includes such traditional points of departure as history, philosophy, anthropology, psychology, and sociology, but also the natural sciences, and such other approaches as feminist theory, discourse analysis, and ideology critique. Method & Theory in the Study of Religion also concentrates on the critical analysis of the history of the study of religion itself.

The Methodist DeBakey Cardiovascular Journal (MDCVJ) supports the educational mission of Houston Methodist DeBakey CV Education by empowering the next generation of heart and vascular specialists to gain knowledge and stay informed on best practices, clinical treatments, and promising research in cardiovascular medicine. Each peer-reviewed issue publishes thematic curated reviews describing the current state of relevant and timely cardiovascular topics. Issues also includes peer-reviewed case reports, multimodality images, Interactive CME Case quizzes, and humanities articles.

Geared towards cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, general practitioners, and CV residents and fellows, MDCVJ explores a robust range of timely issues—from updates in cardiology and cardiovascular surgery subspecialties, such as cardiovascular imaging, aortic disease, cardiac critical care, and percutaneous valve disease, to public health and cultural concerns such as the cardiovascular impact of COVID-19, quality and patient safety, and digital health. The journal is published quarterly in both online and print formats, with a limited free print distribution to subscribers. Case reports are published on a continuous basis in an online issue.

Methodology and Computing in Applied Probability publishes high quality research and review articles in areas of applied probability that emphasize methodology and computing. The journal focuses on articles that examine important applications and that include detailed case studies. With its policy of attracting papers representing a broad range of interests, the journal covers such topics as algorithms, approximations, combinatorial and geometric probability, communication networks, extreme value theory, finance, image analysis, inequalities, information theory, mathematical physics, molecular biology, Monte Carlo methods, order statistics, queuing theory, reliability theory, and stochastic processes.

Methodology is the successor of the two journals Metodologia de las Ciencias del Comportamiento and Methods of Psychological Research-Online (MPR-Online). All issues are still available at http://www.aemcco.org/ and www.dgps.de/fachgruppen/methoden/mpr-online/. Methodology is the official organ of the European Association of Methodology (EAM; www.eam-online.org), a union of methodologists working in different areas of the social and behavioral sciences (e.g., psychology, sociology, economics, educational and political sciences). The journal provides a platform for interdisciplinary exchange of methodological research and applications in the different fields, including new methodological approaches, review articles, software information, and instructional papers that can be used in teaching. Three main disciplines are covered: data analysis, research methodology, and psychometrics. The articles published in the journal are not only accessible to methodologists but also to more applied researchers in the various disciplines.
