Since being founded in 1993, Addiction Research and Theory has been the leading outlet for research and theoretical contributions that view addictive behaviour as arising from psychological processes within the individual and the social context in which the behaviour takes place as much as from the biological effects of the psychoactive substance or activity involved.This cross-disciplinary journal examines addictive behaviours from a variety of perspectives and methods of inquiry. Disciplines represented in the journal include Anthropology, Economics, Epidemiology, Medicine, Sociology, Psychology and History, but high quality contributions from other relevant areas will also be considered. The journal publishes articles on all aspects of addiction, placing particular value on contributions that explore creatively new avenues of inquiry. Submissions to Addiction Research and Theory are peer reviewed and published if they are both good of their kind and are within the journal’s focus. Articles include theoretical, philosophical and political essays, research papers, state-of-the-science reviews, and descriptions of how to apply research on addictive behaviours to evidence-based clinical practice.Read More: http://informahealthcare.com/page/art/Description.

In the Middle Ages it found its wayback to Europe and became the chief navigational instrument until theinvention of the sextant in the 18th century.

  Advanced Device Materials focuses on materials and/or metamaterials for applications in photonics, communications, micro- and nanoelectronics, imaging, sensing and acoustics. A particular focus is the formation or integration of these materials into functional and multifunctional structures and devices with enhanced and unusual properties. New materials, (nano)structures, microarrays and components can be designed and fabricated to create discrete electronic/photonic components that are integrated into circuits. An important aspect of these applications is based on the confinement and manipulation of light using advanced materials, for example, giving rise to sub-wavelength phenomena that can be integrated into next-generation devices such as bio- and other sensors. Artificially structured electromagnetic materials - metamaterials - can also be used to contrive novel manipulations across the electromagnetic spectrum.

The journal will publish papers in these areas and so span research into the theory, design and fabrication of metamaterials, microwave, photonic or plasmonic materials, the investigations of their properties and the successful integration of these materials into devices for applications such as photodetectors, sensors and biosensors, solar cells, photovoltaics, etc.

Particular emphasis will be given to those papers which exemplify both materials developments and their integration into functioning structures or devices, including novel manufacturing approaches.

---Ranked 2nd out of 66 in Condensed Matter Physics field --- Aims & ScopeAdvances in Physics publishes authoritative critical reviews by experts on topics of interest and importance to condensed matter physicists. It is intended for motivated readers wit

The aims of Advances in Physics: X are to demonstrate:

1. the connectivity of Physics, by which we mean the intellectual relationships between one branch of Physics and another, and
   
2. the pervasiveness of Physics, that is, the influence of Physics across (hence the “X”) the boundaries into other disciplines, including chemistry, materials science, engineering, biology and medicine.

Thus the journal will promote the centrality of Physics and physical measurement to modern science and technology, defending the discipline and revealing both its richness and its impact.

The aims of “APX” will be achieved by the Open Access, electronic publication of concise review articles, commissioned from leading experts and made available freely throughout the world.

Advances in Physics: X draws upon the rich heritage of Advances in Physics, founded by Sir Nevill Mott in 1952 as a spin-off from the Philosophical Magazine, which was itself established in 1798 and has been published by Taylor & Francis since 1822.

New information on psychiatric disability and rehabilitation is increasing rapidly. The American Journal of Psychiatric Rehabilitation maintains a goal of sharing new and important information with all persons invested in rehabilitation care and treatment. The American Journal of Psychiatric Rehabilitation is written for providers who offer rehabilitation services and is also for persons with psychiatric disabilities. It is for family members and others who are close to people with psychiatric disability. It is for advocates looking for a forum to express their vision and is also key reading for administrators and policy makers to provide them with guidance in their plans for future program development.The American Journal of Psychiatric Rehabilitation features original research papers on psychiatric rehabilitation. Theoretical papers, reviews, and commentaries are encouraged if they contribute substantially to current knowledge. Reports of novel ways to reduce barriers and promote implementation of evidence practice in real world settings and to enhance access and retention of minorities in psychiatric rehabilitation programs are also encouraged. First person accounts that reflect on the rehabilitation process and recovery are also appropriate.Given that psychiatric rehabilitation is a multi-faceted concept, paper topics within psychiatric rehabilitation may include, but are not limited to:rehabilitation interventions stigma recovery and empowerment needs and goals assessment community-based supported services co-occurring disorders skills training relevant public policy integration with criminal justice and primary health care systems consumer operated services and peer support cognitive approaches and family services staff training and team developmentPeer Review Policy:All review papers in this journal have undergone editorial screening and peer review.
