Journal Guide

Glass and Ceramics reports on advances in basic and applied research and plant production techniques in glass and ceramics. The journal's broad coverage includes developments in the areas of silicate chemistry, mineralogy and metallurgy, crystal chemistry, solid state reactions, raw materials, phase equilibria, reaction kinetics, physicochemical analysis, physics of dielectrics, and refractories, among others. Glass and Ceramics is a translation of the peer-reviewed Russian journal Steklo i Keramika. The Russian Volume Year is published in English from April.

This journal brings together research that informs the fields of global social work, social development, and social welfare policy and practice. It serves as an outlet for manuscripts and brief reports of interdisciplinary applied research which advance knowledge about global threats to the well-being of individuals, groups, families and communities. This research spans the full range of problems including global poverty, food and housing insecurity, economic development, environmental safety, social determinants of health, maternal and child health, mental health, addiction, disease and illness, gender and income inequality, human rights and social justice, access to health care and social resources, strengthening care and service delivery, trauma, crises, and responses to natural disasters, war, violence, population movements and trafficking, war and refugees, immigration/migration, human trafficking, orphans and vulnerable children.  Research that recognizes the significant link between individuals, families and communities and their external environments, as well as the interrelatedness of race, cultural, context and poverty, will be particularly welcome.

Glycoconjugate Journal publishes articles and reviews concerned with function, composition, structure, biosynthesis, degradation, interactions, recognition and chemo-enzymatic and synthesis of glycoconjugates; biochemistry, molecular biology, biotechnology, immunology and cell biology to glycoconjugates; aspects related to disease processes; structural and functional glycomics; glycoimmunology; glycovaccines; organic synthesis of glycoconjugates and the development of methodologies if biologically relevant; glycosylation changes in disease if focused on either the discovery of a novel disease marker or the improved understanding of some basic pathological mechanism, articles on the effects of toxicological agents on glycosylation, and the use of glycotherapeutics. Glycoconjugate Journal is the official journal of the International Glycoconjugate Organization, which organizes the biennial International Symposia on Glycoconjugates.

'Graefe's Archive' is a distinguished international journal that presents original clinical reports and clinically relevant experimental studies. Founded in 1854 by Albrecht von Graefe to serve as a source of useful clinical information and a stimulus for discussion, the journal has published articles by leading ophthalmologists and vision research scientists for more than a century. With peer review by an international Editorial Board and prompt English-language publication, 'Graefe's Archive' provides rapid dissemination of clinical and clinically related experimental information.

Although many phenomena observed in granular materials are still not yet fully understood, important contributions have been made to further our understanding using modern tools from statistical mechanics. These tools apply to disordered systems, phase transitions, instabilities or intermittent behavior and the performance of discrete particle simulations on the latest and most powerful computers. Until now, however, many of these results were only to be found scattered throughout the physics literature. Furthermore, physicists are often unaware of the theories and results published by engineers in more specialized technical journals. The journal Granular Matter thus serves as a platform of communication among researchers of various disciplines who are involved in the basic research of granular media. It helps to establish a common language and gather articles under one single roof that up to now have been spread over many journals in a variety of fields.

Graphs and Combinatorics is an international journal devoted to research concerning all aspects of combinatorial mathematics. In addition to original research papers, the journal also features survey articles from authors invited by the editorial board.

Group Decision and Negotiation is published in cooperation with the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences and its Section on Group Decision and Negotiation. The journal focuses broadly on relation and coordination in group processes by exploring the entire process or flow of activities relevant to group decision and negotiation. Among the evolving approaches to group decision and negotiation processes, the journal explores computer group decision and negotiation support systems; artificial intelligence and management science; applied game theory, experiment and social choice; and cognitive and behavioral sciences. Descriptive, normative, and design viewpoints are all represented. In addition to theoretical and empirical research, the journal presents real-world applications and case studies. It also covers new software development that supports group decision and negotiation.
