Journal Guide

Research in Economics, formerly Ricerche Economiche, is one of Italy's oldest and most prestigious economics journals. It publishes selected original research papers in all areas of economics, both theoretical and applied, and related fields.Papers submitted are processed by one of the Associate Editors, who cover an extremely broad range of research areas in Economics in order to maintain the general-purpose nature of the journal whilst enforcing high-quality standards.Research in Economics welcomes survey articles and short notes. The journal also has a tradition of publishing special issues. Some recent special issues have been: Interactive Epistemology in Dynamic Games (1999); Policies to Foster Human Capital (2000); International Comparison of Household Savings Behaviour: a Study of Life-cycle Savings in Seven Countries (2001), and Logic and the Foundations of the Theory of Games and Decisions (2003).All these features make Research in Economics appealing to well-established economists as well as to junior economists approaching the publication process in the international arena.

Research in International Business and Finance (RIBAF) aims to publish empirical and applied research on issues relating to International Business and International Finance. The editors encourage the submission of high quality, insightful, well-written papers that explore current and new issues in International Business, International Finance, and the common grounds between these discipline areas.Papers that use new and or novel empirical methodologies to examine topical issues using extensive international data sets are particularly welcome.Country-level replication studies of key themes in International Business, International Finance, and in Finance are also welcome. In order to qualify as a replication study, the submitted paper must clearly state what is being replicated, why it is important to replicate it, why the particular replication is of interest to international business and finance scholars, and how the replication analysis contributes to the process of validating, negating, clarifying, or refining existing theory and/or evidence.For all submissions, high quality, well-written papers are essential. In order to respect the time constraints of RIBAF's committed reviewers, submissions that do not meet these high standards will be returned to the authors without seeking peer review.The scope of topics that are most interesting to RIBAF readers include the following:International financial integration and regulation;Culture in international business and finance;Economic geography in international business and finance;Ethics in international business and finance;Behavioral aspects in finance;International business and financial history;Critical perspectives on international business and finance;Methodology in international business and finance;International corporate governance, standards, and organisations;

1887-The beginnings of the journalResearch in Microbiology is the direct descendant of the original Pasteur periodical entitled Annales de l'Institut Pasteur, created in 1887 by Emile Duclaux under the patronage of Louis Pasteur. The Editorial Committee included Chamberland, Grancher, Nocard, Roux and Straus, and the first issue began with Louis Pasteur's "Lettre sur la Rage" which clearly defines the spirit of the journal:"You have informed me, my dear Duclaux, that you intend to start a monthly collection of articles entitled "Annales de l'Institut Pasteur". You will be rendering a service that will be appreciated by the ever increasing number of young scientists who are attracted to microbiological studies. In your Annales, our laboratory research will of course occupy a central position, but the work from outside groups that you intend to publish will be a source of competitive stimulation for all of us."That first volume included 53 articles as well as critical reviews and book reviews. From that time on, the Annales appeared regularly every month, without interruption, even during the two world wars. Although the journal has undergone many changes over the past 100 years (in the title, the format, the language) reflecting the evolution in scientific publishing, it has consistently maintained the Pasteur tradition by publishing original reports on all aspects of microbiology.Originally founded as the " Annales de l'Institut Pasteur ", Research in Microbiology has been a leading source of up-to-date information in the field of microbiology for more than a century. It publishes papers based on original research in fundamental and applied biology of bacteria, archaea and lower eukaryotes. It covers all aspects of the microbial taxonomy, phylogeny, ecology, physiology and metabolism, molecular genetics and genomics, as well as the interactions between microbes and interactions of microbes with their environment. Research in Microbiology currently publishes 10 issues a year, including an annual Forum issue, original articles, reviews, and letters to the Editor.Indexed in Medline, Excerpta Medica / EMbase, Science Citation Index, Current Contents (Life Sciences)On-line services:For on-line submission:http://pasteur.fontismedia.com/res/ For full-text articles, abstracts, contents, references: http://www.sciencedirect.com For the journal homepage at Elsevier:http://www.elsevier.com/locate/resmic
