Area publishes ground breaking geographical research and scholarship across the field of geography. Whatever your interests, reading Area is essential to keep up with the latest thinking in geography. At the cutting edge of the discipline, the journal:* is the debating forum for the latest geographical research and ideas* is an outlet for fresh ideas, from both established and new scholars* is accessible to new researchers, including postgraduate students and academics at an early stage in their careers* contains commentaries and debates that focus on topical issues, new research results, methodological theory and practice and academic discussion and debate* provides rapid publicationTo be accepted, therefore, an article must make a concise, significant and original contribution to geographic knowledge. It should be situated in the relevant literature within and beyond the discipline, and should make a distinctive contribution to debates within human or physical geography. Where possible, links should be made with themes and issues within the wider discipline, with other relevant disciplines, and with concerns in the world beyond geography on which the discipline may offer insight, understanding and critical comment.Calling all physical geographers!Area is very keen to encourage more submissions of physical geography papers, and especially those written by postgraduates. The journal prefers short, pithy articles which focus on topical issues, new research results or discussions of methodology, theory and practice. We aim for a rapid turnaround time between submission and publication. Recently Area has published papers on desertification, soil erosion, geomorphological ideas and urban fluvial hazards. If you would like to submit a paper, or even discuss an idea at an early stage of writing, then please contact Paul Wood, Co-Editor for physical geography at p.j.wood@lboro.ac.uk.
Area Development and Policy ( ADP) is to be a world-class journal publishing original academic research examining the multi-scalar and geographically differentiated relationships between economic and political organization, ways of life and work and their context, as they shape regions, cities, rural areas and their inter-relationships.
Geographically it concentrates on issues relating to the Greater BRICS and aims to publish research emerging from these countries as well from the developed world.
ADP recognizes that the economic, political, cultural and geographical context plays a fundamental role in shaping development. ADP therefore recognizes that research should examine the role of diverse national and regional institutional configurations and values, and that theories should derive from the experiences of these countries and regions and not necessarily from theories derived from the possibly exceptional experiences of Northwest Europe and North America.
ADP aims to expand common ground while accepting differences, improve mutual communication and increase cooperation and shared learning.
Peer Review Statement
All submitted research is subject to rigorous peer review, involving initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two referees. In the light of the referee reports, contributions will be evaluated and decisions made by a distinguished board of Editors and accepted for publication only if they meet high scholarly standards of originality, significance and rigour in advancing understanding of area development and policy.
Arethusa is known for publishing original literary and cultural studies of the ancient world and of the field of classics that combine contemporary theoretical perspectives with more traditional approaches to literary and material evidence. Interdisciplinary in nature, this distinguished journal often features special thematic issues.
The article inquires about the cultural goods of the ways of dwelling in order to propose a research agenda of thesymbolic construction of the cultural heritage of such ways. As the relationship between habitable space and urban culture is established, cultural goods we talk about are the artifacts involved in modes of inhabiting, so that interest is centered on how urbanactors produce a symbolic meaning as a way of generating cultural identity artifacts. The diversity of symbolic contentsgenerated by the differences and divergences, typical of thecontemporary society?s heterogeneous condition, are incorporated into the analysis. Finally, as the relationship between daily life and habitable space is established, the proposal of a classification of cultural goods for both collective and domestic daily life is formulated as a first draft for a research agenda of such goods.
Argument and Computation aims to promote the interaction and cross-fertilisation between the fields of argumentation theory and computer science. It will be of interest to researchers in the fields of artificial intelligence, multi-agent systems, computer science, logic, philosophy, argumentation theory, psychology, cognitive science, game theory and economics. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Argumentation and cognitive architecturesArgumentation and computational game theoryArgumentation and defeasible reasoningArgumentation and nonmonotonic logicsArgumentation and Decision TheoryArgumentation and Logic ProgrammingArgumentation and game semanticsSoftware for teaching argumentation skillsArgumentation-based interaction protocolsArgumentation-based semantics of programsArgumentation in natural language processingArgumentation in human computer interactionArgumentation in multi-agent systemsComputational models of natural argumentDialogue games and conversation policiesDispute resolution and mediation systemsElectronic democracy and public deliberationLegal and medical applicationsModels of bargaining and economic interactionReasoning about action through argumentationComputational tools for argumentation support In order to distinguish itself from the competition, the new journal will not solicit papers that are wholly within the theory of argumentation without application (practical or theoretical) with in artificial intelligence or computer science, nor will it solicit computational work that fails to employ argumentation as a core focus.The journal will accept full articles, describing novel theoretical or applied research in any of the areas of interest; reviews, condensing and critiquing an appropriate subfield of research; system descriptions, focusing on implementations (typically offering online access or downloadable code) and letters, providing pithy polemic on burning issues.

The surubim catfish, Pseudoplatystoma coruscans (Spix, Agassiz, 1829), also known in the Sa~o Francisco River Valley as "moleque", belongs to the order Siluriformes and also occurs in the Parana´, Paraguai and Uruguai rivers (Fowler, 1951). In other regions, its spotted body has earned the popular name of "pintado". The surubim catfish is an essentially piscivorous species (Marques, 1993), and its corporal weight can exceed 100kg (Sato, 1999). As a result of constant changes in the environment of the Sa~o Francisco River, the capture of this fish has declined from 86.3% in 1987 to 27% in 1999 (Godinho et al., 2001). The high commercial value of the surubim catfish is due to the excellent quality of its meat, its high marketability, and its marked participation in commercial fishing (Marques, 1993). The possibility of inducing spawn by hypophysation has created promising prospects for the artificial breeding of the surubim catfish (Sato, 1999). The zootechnical indexes and carcass characteristics of this species confirm that it has a high potential for commercial production (Ribeiro, Miranda, 1997). The objective of this work is to study the reproductive biology of the wild surubim catfish in the Sa~o Francisco River.

Welcome to Art Journal’s new website. Launched to coincide with CAA’s centennial anniversary, the site both acknowledges current material conditions of art and publishing, and honors the journal’s unique nature. It will feature iterations of time-based work discussed in the print journal and original artists’ projects, as well as more conversational modes of scholarship and discourse. Rather than attempting to be another rapidly changing aggregator of information, the site will make visible and maintain the dense artistic and scholarly content of Art Journal in print, hopefully serving a need in the international arts community.
