Journal Guide

The International Journal of Behavioral Development (IJBD) promotes the discovery, dissemination and application of knowledge about developmental processes at all stages of the life span - infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age. The Journal is already the leading international outlet devoted to reporting interdisciplinary research on behavioural development, and is now, in response to the rapidly developing fields of behavioural genetics, neuroscience and developmental psychopathology, seeking to expand its scope to these and other related new domains of scholarship.

The International Journal of Bilingualism (IJB) is an international forum for the dissemination of original research on the linguistic, psychological, neurological, and social issues which emerge from language contact. While stressing interdisciplinary links, the focus of the Journal is on the language behavior of the bi- and multilingual individual.

Journal of Business Communication (JBC), peer-reviewed and published quarterly, provides rigorous original research that contributes to the knowledge and theory of business communication as a distinct, multifaceted field, approached through the administrative disciplines, the liberal arts, and the social sciences. JBC is the official publication of the Association for Business Communication.

Multidisciplinary in nature, IJCC welcomes submissions in the fields of economics, business management, law, international relations, anthropology, finance, international business, marketing, operations, organisational behaviour, organisation studies, political science, project management, psychology, strategic management, and sociology. In particular, the journal welcomes contributions that delve into the complexities of contract theory, sustainable developments, negotiation strategies, contract design, corporate social responsibility, dispute resolution, and other emerging social, ethical, and regulatory landscapes that underpin modern commerce. The journal has been launched to reflect the ongoing transformations in this rapidly changing field and to act as a forum where academic excellence and commercial acumen meet.

The International Journal of Comparative Sociology was established in 1960 to publishes the highest quality peer reviewed research that is both international in scope and comparative in method. IJCS welcomes work from scholars in related disciplines, including political science, geography, economics, anthropology, and business sciences.

The International Journal of Cross Cultural Management (IJCCM) is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes the highest quality original research in cross cultural aspects of management, work and organization. The IJCCM aims to provide a specialized academic medium and main reference for the encouragement and dissemination of research on cross cultural aspects of management, work and organization. This includes both original qualitative and quantitative empirical work as well as theoretical and conceptual work which adds to the understanding of management across cultures.

International Journal of Cultural Studies (IJCS) is a fully peer reviewed bimonthly journal edited by John Hartley and now indexed by ISI - Impact Factor pending. Promoting theoretical, empirical and historical research representative of international perspectives on cultural and media developments across the globe it explores the globalisation of the field and the study of the impact of globalisation on local cultural practices and media ecologies.

n the past two decades there has been considerable progress and significant advances made in the development of fundamental concepts of damage mechanics and their application to solve practical engineering problems. For instance, new concepts have been effectively applied to characterize creep damage, low and high cycle fatigue damage, creep-fatigue interaction, brittle/elastics damage, ductile plastic damage, straing softening, strain-rate-sensitivity damage, impact damage, and other physical phenomena. Materials investigated include polymers, composites, ceramics and metals.The International Journal of Damage Mechanics provides an effective mechanism to accelerate dissemination of information on damage mechanics not only within the research community but also between the research laboratory and industrial design department. The journal promotes and contributes to development of the concept of damage mechanics.Featuring original, peer-reviewed papers by leading specialists from around the world, the International Journal of Damage Mechanics covers new developments in the science and engineering of fracture and damage mechanics.

The International Journal of Discrimination and the Law encompasses wide range of areas of discrimination including racism and sex discrimination, the treatment of asylum-seekers and refugees, issues of immigration and nationality, discrimination on grounds disability, sexual or political orientation, age and ill-health, in relation to access to employment, housing, education and other services. The provisions and operation of anti-discrimination law and problems with existing provisions and procedures are critically examined. Reviews of recent literature and decisions from a number of jurisdictions and reports and advance information on major conferences are regularly published.

The International Journal of Electrical Engineering Education's origins date back to 1948, when the world’s first stored-programme digital computer ran at the University of Manchester. In 1963, the Bulletin of Electrical Engineering Education evolved into the International Journal of Electrical Engineering Education (IJEEE).Today, IJEEE provides a showcase for international developments in the undergraduate teaching of electrical engineering and electronics, from power systems to nanotechnology.Illustrated articles and occasional book reviews highlight current topics from a teaching perspective. Specific projects, case studies and reports of laboratory practice complement analyses of new teaching methods, curriculum design, assessment, validation, and new technologies. All papers are peer reviewed. .

The International Journal of Engine Research publishes only the highest quality original papers on experimental and analytical studies of engine technology.

The International Journal of High Performance Computing Applications (IJHPCA) provides original peer reviewed research papers and review articles on the use of supercomputers to solve complex modeling problems in a spectrum of disciplines. Topics include: artificial intelligence, climate modeling, cryptographic analysis, geophysics, molecular biology, molecular dynamics, nuclear physics, physical oceanography, plasma physics, quantum chemistry, solid state physics, structural dynamics.
