First published in 1977, IATSS Research is an international English-language journal sponsored by the International Association of Traffic and Safety Sciences. It seeks to foster a harmonious traffic environment by inspiring all readers, whether interested in today or the future, to contemplate and discuss traffic-related research results drawn from a wide range of academic fields.IATSS Research provides an international forum for the publication of original articles covering a wide range of practical and theoretical aspects of traffic and traffic safety. IATSS Research seeks to improve scientific knowledge, clarifying traffic issues through a comprehensive approach that demands a high level of evidential proof. IATSS Research will publish original research papers addressing any transport mode or traffic participant from any academic discipline including engineering, information and communication technology, sociology, economics, business administration, law, public administration, psychology, education, and medical sciences. Submissions dealing with policy proposals for solving traffic and transport issues may also be accepted. All submissions are subject to peer review.The International Association of Traffic and Safety Sciences (IATSS) was established in 1974 as a public-interest corporation to foster a harmonious traffic environment through the pursuit of international, interdisciplinary research on traffic and traffic safety issues seen in the light of the interrelationship between man, machine and environment.

IBRO Reports publishes papers describing the results of original research on any aspect of the scientific study of the nervous system. The journal is Open Access and will consider for publication any article that is methodologically sound, including negative data. Replication studies are also welcomed when justified with a scientifically sound rationale.

The growth in the information and communication technology (ICT) sector has exploded over the past 20 years. This technology advancement enables portable devices to be always connected while supporting high data rate, resulting in the recent popularity of smartphones that have a considerable impact in economic and social development. The high processing capability and the ubiquitous connectivity of recent communication devices allow telecommunication technology to be converged with other industry sectors, such as healthcare, automobile, transportation, entertainment, building architecture, and energy. This convergence in ICT opens up great opportunities for new services and applications, which can lead to economic growth with a wide spectrum of industrial areas. ICT Express, published by the Korean Institute of Communications and Information Sciences (KICS), is a quarterly archived open access journal providing researchers in the ICT field an opportunity to share their newest research results in a timely manner. Each submission will be reviewed by experts in the field. Once accepted, the provisional version will be published online within six weeks after the submission, and the final version will be published online within eight weeks. ICT Express covers the field of ICT convergence, platform technologies, communication networks, and device technologies. We invite short-length (up to 4 pages in double columns) high-quality, original letter articles that explicitly address the unique technical challenges encountered in the convergence of information and communication technology.

All case reports submitted are peer reviewed and if accepted for publication, authors are notified of the decision and requested to pay an Article Processing Fee. Following payment of this fee, the article is made universally available to all on http://www.sciencedirect.com and http://www.IDCasereports.com.

IDCases will be indexed in Scopus and Google Scholar.

IIMB Management Review (IMR) is a quarterly journal brought out by the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore. Addressed to management practitioners, researchers and academics, IMR aims to engage rigorously with practices, concepts and ideas in the field of management, with an emphasis on providing managerial insights, in a reader friendly format. To this end IMR invites manuscripts that provide novel managerial insights in any of the core business functions. The manuscript should be rigorous, that is, the findings should be supported by either empirical data or a well-justified theoretical model, and well written. While these two requirements are necessary for acceptance, they do not guarantee acceptance. The sole criterion for publication is contribution to the extant management literature.Although all manuscripts are welcome, our special emphasis is on papers that focus on emerging economies throughout the world. Such papers may either improve our understanding of markets in such economies through novel analyses or build models by taking into account the special characteristics of such economies to provide guidance to managers.Full-length research articles (up to 8,000 words) on all the business functions, aspects of policy and management pedagogy form the core of the journal; at present focussed discussion and interview papers, and book reviews are also featured.IMR is a peer-reviewed journal and follows a 'double blind' review process. All papers submitted to IMR go through a preliminary review at the editorial desk and those considered appropriate are sent to an Associate Editor. On the recommendation of the Associate Editor, the article may be rejected or assigned to two reviewers from the editorial board.
