Journal of Rail Transport Planning & Management aims to stimulate the quality of service for railway passengers and freight customers by improving the knowledge on effectiveness and efficiency of capacity management, timetabling, management and safety of railway operations. It covers the whole range of light rail, metro, heavy and high-speed railway systems. The journal will create a platform for regular transfer of knowledge, new tools and discussion of innovative contributions regarding the analysis of passenger and freight railway transport, estimation of traffic demand and capacity, design of timetables, scheduling of trains and crews, dispatching, signalling, train control, automatic train operation, optimal use of rolling stock and energy in order to increase the efficiency and competitiveness of passenger and freight transport.The journal presents innovative theoretical approaches, high-tech concepts, new technological, financing and business management models and tools that can provide higher flexibility, performance and punctuality of trains operating on dedicated lines and in heterogeneous networks. Journal of Rail Transport Planning & Management integrates the expertise from different scientific disciplines as physical planning, transport modelling, traffic analysis, (system) engineering, mathematics, physics, computer science, economics and (transport) policy analysis.The articles accepted comprise generic theoretical research projects, original concise transport and business plans, pilot technical and economic feasibility analyses, as well as genuine impact assessment studies in the railway domain.Journal of Rail Transport Planning & Management supports the development of a Network of Excellence in the field of railway system planning, operations research, business development, traffic control and operations management. It brings together academics and professionals who advise governments, railway infrastructure managers, train operating companies and industrial suppliers on promising and successful innovation strategies for railway transport policy, lines, networks, operations and management.

Journal of Scientific Computing is an international interdisciplinary forum for the publication of papers on state-of-the-art developments in scientific computing and its applications in science and engineering.

The journal publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed original papers, review papers and short communications on scientific computing.

Journal of Sensor and Actuator Networks (ISSN 2224-2708) is an international open access journal on the science and technology of sensor and actuator networks. It publishes regular research papers, reviews (including comprehensive reviews on complete sensor and actuator networks), and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. There are, in addition, unique features of this journal: Manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas will be particularly welcomed. Electronic files and software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material.

The Journal of Signal Processing Systems publishes research, survey and short papers on the design and implementation of signal processing systems, with or without VLSI circuits. Readers will find a wide range of topics covered within the subject areas of system design and implementation, algorithms, architectures, and applications. In addition to original, peer reviewed content, the journal features high quality workshop, symposium, and conference papers with an emphasis on system design. The Journal of Signal Processing Systems now accepts short papers for publication. Short papers in the Journal of Signal Processing Systems are intended for rapid dissemination of research contributions of significant novelty and quality, e.g., as an alternative to publication in high-quality conferences.

Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation publishes significant and original work in areas of statistics which are related to or dependent upon the computer.Fields covered include computer algorithms related to probability or statistics, studies in statistical inference by means of simulation techniques, and implementation of interactive statistical systems.2009 5-year Impact Factor: 0.517169; 2010 Thomson Reuters, 2009 Journal Citation Reports174; All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.DisclaimerTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.

Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment (JSTAT) covers all aspects of statistical physics, including experimental work that impacts on the subject.

The Journal of Statistical Physics publishes original papers, review papers, and book reviews in all areas of statistical physics as well as in related fields concerned with collective phenomena in physical systems. The Journal is among the top 20% of all STM journals for the number of cites as listed in the Journals Citation Report.

The Journal of Statistical Planning and Inference offers itself as a multifaceted and all-inclusive bridge between classical aspects of statistics and probability, and the emerging interdisciplinary aspects that have a potential of revolutionizing the subject. While we maintain our traditional strength in statistical inference, design, classical probability, and large sample methods, we also have a far more inclusive and broadened scope to keep up with the new problems that confront us as statisticians, mathematicians, and scientists.We publish high quality articles in all branches of statistics, probability, discrete mathematics, machine learning, and bioinformatics. We also especially welcome well written and up to date review articles on fundamental themes of statistics, probability, machine learning, and general biostatistics. Thoughtful letters to the editors, interesting problems in need of a solution, and short notes carrying an element of elegance or beauty are equally welcome.We want to serve as the broadest international platform for high quality research on every aspect of our field, traditional and cutting edge. The quality and the breadth of our editorial board reflects that singular priority.

Since 1960, IUPAC has made available to chemists everywhere a large amount of important chemical information published in the journal .
