Nanotechnologies in Russia (Rossiiskie Nanotekhnologii) focuses on publication of the interdisciplinary articles devoted to basic issues of the structure and properties of nanoscale objects and nanomaterials, technologies of their production and processing as well as practical implementation of the devices and facilities on their basis. The journal publishes original articles meeting the highest scientific criteria that cover research in the following areas of science and technology: self-organizing structures and nanoassemblages, nanostructures including nanotubes, functional nanomaterials, structural nanomaterials, devices and facilities on the basis of nanomaterials and nanotechnologies, metrology, standardization, and testing in nanotechnologies, nanophotonics, nanobiology.
Nanotechnology aims to publish original research at the forefront of nanoscale science and technology across all disciplines. The journal’s scope encompasses the study of both fundamental phenomena at the nanoscale and applications of these phenomena. ‘Nanotechnology’ is taken to include the ability to individually address, control, and modify structures, materials and devices with nanometre precision, and the synthesis of such structures into systems of micro- and macroscopic dimensions such as MEMS based devices.
To be publishable in the journal, articles must meet the highest scientific quality standards, contain significant and original new science, and make substantial advances in nanoscale science and technology. Research on the synthesis of materials should contain a significant innovation either in methodology, materials or demonstrated application. To ensure high editorial standards, every submitted article is initially assessed by the editors of the journal before being sent to independent referees. Articles can be rejected without refereeing after this initial assessment by the editors. Due to the high volume of papers that we receive, we regret that we are unable to provide feedback on individual articles. Authors appealing against the decision will have to demonstrate to the Editorial Board of the journal at nano@ioppublishing.org that their paper contains significant new science of high quality and interest.
Narrative is the official journal of The Society for the Study of Narrative Literature, the association for scholars interested in narrative. Narrative's broad range of scholarship includes the English, American, and European novel, nonfiction narrative, film, and narrative as used in performance art.
Narrative Inquiry is devoted to providing a forum for theoretical, empirical, and methodological work on narrative. Articles appearing in Narrative Inquiry draw upon a variety of approaches and methodologies in the study of narrative as a way to give contour to experience, tradition, and values to next generations. Particular emphasis is placed on theoretical approaches to narrative and the analysis of narratives in human interaction, including those practiced by researchers in psychology, linguistics and related disciplines.
