The international mathematics education community is maturing at a rapid and exciting rate. Although this community has developed its own research perspectives and theoretical frameworks, it continues to expand its horizons by drawing upon new theories and research in mathematics, psychology, sociology, philosophy, anthropology, and information technology. Mathematical Thinking and Learning is directed at researchers interested in mathematics education from any of these perspectives, with a particular focus on mathematical thinking, reasoning, and learning.This journal seeks high-quality articles that address one or more of the following topics: interdisciplinary studies on mathematical learning, reasoning or thinking, and their developments at all ages; technological advances and their impact on mathematical thinking and learning; studies that explore the diverse processes of mathematical reasoning; new insights into how mathematical understandings develop across the life span, including significant transitional periods; changing perspectives on the nature of mathematics and their impact on mathematical thinking and learning in both formal and informal contexts; studies that explore the internationalization of mathematics education, together with other cross-cultural studies of mathematical thinking and learning; and studies of innovative instructional practices that foster mathematical learning, thinking, and development. In addition to receiving research articles, the journal invites articles that present theoretical and philosophical analyses of issues related to the previous topics.Related Book: Handbook ofInternational Research in Mathematics Education (2nd Edition)Peer Review Policy: All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review based on initial editor screening and anonymous review by at least three reviewers.Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

The Mathematics Education Research Journal, an official journal of the Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia (MERGA), is an international refereed journal that provides a forum for the publication of research in the teaching and learning of mathematics at all levels. The Mathematics Education Research Journal publishes papers of general interest to an international readership, but papers exploring specifically Australasian issues are welcome.

The primary objective of the journal is to provide a forum for work in finance which expresses economic ideas using formal mathematical reasoning. The work should have real economic content and the mathematical reasoning should be new and correct.

The articles in Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development (MEC) range from theoretical and other problems of the measurement specialist to those directed to the administrator, the counselor, or the personnel worker--in schools and colleges, public and private agencies, business, industry, and government. All articles clearly describe implications for the counseling field and for practitioners in assessment, measurement, and evaluation.

Measurement is devoted to the interdisciplinary study of measurement in the human sciences. Each issue of the journal features a focus article, along with commentaries that embody dialogue and debate across multiple perspectives. The journal’s overarching theme is to promote the development, critique, and enrichment of the concepts and practices of measurement. Through peer commentary and authors’responses, Measurement provides an opportunity for discussion that is largely unavailable outside the specific authors and reviewers of a particular manuscript.

The focus articles (which may be single papers or sets of linked papers) address important issues in the field, and may be in one of the following genres:

• a report and/or discussion of empirical research with a broader scope and/or implication than found in other measurement-associated journals;
• a significant theoretical article that systematizes or gives new perspectives on a body of theory, research, and/or practice in measurement;
• a novel interpretation, synthesis, or critique of measurement work;
• a summary and commentary on a field of application of measurement that either is a significant contribution to measurement in that field, or which contains an important message for measurement work in general;
• a rigorous, evidence-based critique of measurement theory and practices from outside the discipline, or from within measurement.

This journal is intended for social scientists with an interest in the study of measurement, and its theory, application, and criticism, including psychometricians, sociometricians, mathematical psychologists, clinical psychologists, educational curriculum developers, policy researchers, educational and psychological test developers and assessment designers, and medical and public health professionals.

Please email your manuscript as an attachment to the Managing Editor in a standard format (e.g., Microsoft Word) to: kdraney@berkeley.edu. Alternatively, mail a disk copy to: Karen Draney, Managing Editor, Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, Graduate School of Education, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA.

Media History is an interdisciplinary journal which welcomes contributions addressing media and society from the fifteenth century to the present. Its perspective is both historical and international. It will explore all forms of serial publication in manuscript, print and electronic media and will encourage work which crosses the boundaries of politics, culture and communications. The journal includes contributions covering a wide area of Media History, and welcomes contributions from across the globe. Contributors are encouraged to submit illustrations where appropriate.Peer Review Policy:All articles in this journal have undergone editorial screening and peer review.DisclaimerTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the "Content") contained in its publications.

Media Psychology is an interdisciplinary journal devoted to publishing theoretically-oriented empirical research that is at the intersection of psychology and media communication. These topics include media uses, processes, and effects. Such research is already well represented in mainstream journals in psychology and communication, but its publication is dispersed across many sources. Therefore, scholars working on common issues and problems in various disciplines often cannot fully utilize the contributions of kindred spirits in cognate disciplines. By providing a high-quality, common publication outlet for psychologists, communication researchers, human developmental specialists, and other scholars who are interested in the psychological consequences of the broad spectrum of communication media, potentially fertile cross-disciplinary work can flourish. Although most of the published articles will report original empirical research that bridges media communication and psychology, state-of-the-art reviews and meta-analyses that provide a major synthesis of primary research findings in a pivotal area will be considered. Studies of messages using single exemplars must include justification for the message selection and implications for generalizability. Manuscripts will be judged by the degree to which they contribute to theory and advance the body of knowledge about the psychology of uses, processes, or effects of the media. Peer Review Policy: All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by at least two anonymous referees.
