Journal Guide

Articles in the Journal of Memory and Language contribute to the formulation of scientific issues and theories in the areas of memory, language comprehension and production, and cognitive processes. Special emphasis is given to research articles that provide new theoretical insights based on a carefully laid empirical foundation. In addition, significant theoretical papers without new experimental findings may be published.The Journal of Memory and Language is a valuable tool for cognitive scientists, including psychologists, linguists, and others interested in memory and learning, language, reading, and speech.Research Areas include:• Topics that illuminate aspects of memory or language processing• Artificial intelligence• Linguistics• NeuropsychologyBenefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Published/Hosted by Informa plc. ISSN (printed): 0963-8237. ISSN (electronic): 1360-0567. The Journal of Mental Health is an international forum for the latest research in the mental health field. Reaching over 65 countries, the journal reports on the best in evidence-based practice around the world and provides a channel of communication between the many disciplines involved in mental health research and practice.

The Journal of Mental Health Research in Intellectual Disabilities, the official research journal of NADD, is an interdisciplinary research journal with the purpose of reporting original scientific and scholarly contributions to advance knowledge about mental health issues among persons with intellectual disabilities. The journal will address issues related to the full range of psychopathology among persons with intellectual disabilities (mental retardation), neuro-developmental disorders and autism spectrum disorders, including severe behavior problems, criminality, substance abuse, and genetic phenotypes across the life span. The journal seeks to publish contributions with an emphasis on empirically based research and will include research on characteristics of persons with intellectual and mental health problems; risk and protective factors related to the development and/or prevention of mental health problems in persons with intellectual disabilities; development of screening and diagnostic instruments; effectiveness of behavioral, psychosocial and pharmacological treatment procedures (including group and single subject designs); critical or comparative literature reviews, including quantitative meta-analyses. Occasional conceptual reviews that provide for new understanding of theory or theoretical constructs will also be considered. 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.

The journal, which is published nine times a year, encompasses the entire range of metamorphic studies, from the scale of the individual crystal to that of lithospheric plates, including regional studies of metamorphic terranes, modelling of metamorphic processes, microstructural and deformation studies in relation to metamorphism, geochronology and geochemistry in metamorphic systems, the experimental study of metamorphic reactions, properties of metamorphic minerals and rocks and the economic aspects of metamorphic terranes.

Acta Meteorologica Sinica publishes the latest achievements and developments in the field of atmospheric sciences. Coverage is broad, including topics such as pure and applied meteorology; climatology and climate change; marine meteorology; atmospheric physics and chemistry; cloud physics and weather modification; numerical weather prediction; data assimilation; atmospheric sounding and remote sensing; atmospheric environment and air pollution; radar and satellite meteorology; agricultural and forest meteorology and more. The contents include academic papers, research program highlights, book reviews, conference reports, and comprehensive discussions on meteorological research undertaken both in China and worldwide. Acta Meteorologica Sinica provides a base for promoting and supporting the international exchange of scientific innovation and thoughts between Chinese and foreign meteorologists. Acta Meteorologica Sinica is the official journal of the Chinese Meteorological Society.

The Journal of Micro-Nano Mechatronics, a quarterly journal, is devoted to the theory and applications of micro and nanotechnologies. The journal promotes both theoretical and practical engineering research based on the analysis and synthesis from the micro level to the nano level. The journal includes survey papers, technical papers, short papers and news items in the field of Micro and Nano Mechatronics. Micro and Nano Mechatronics is the synergistic integration of micro and nano electromechanical systems and electronic technologies, with high added value. Strong research efforts are being focused on development of organic combinations of multiple miniaturized actuators and sensors to perform complex motions and operations. Micro/nano technologies, as very important technologies for future robotics and automation, are becoming crucial to realizing high performance systems. .

The Journal of Micro-Bio Robotics is the synergistic integration of micro- and biotechnologies with Robotics. Strong research efforts are being focussed on development of micro/nanoscale or miniature robotic systems, which are biologically inspired, integrated with biological entities, or used for biological or biomedical applications.  This new journal aims to report the significant progress in these new research efforts.The Journal of Micro-Bio Robotics, a quarterly journal, is devoted to the theory, experiments,  and applications of micro- and biotechnologies and robotics. The Journal promotes both theoretical and practical engineering research based on the analysis and synthesis from the micro level to the bio level of robotics. The journal includes survey papers, technical papers, and short papers in the field of Micro and Bio Robotics.Potential authors are invited to submit original research articles for publication consideration.  Reviews and short communications may also be considered. All submissions will be peer reviewed subject to the standards of the journal. Manuscripts based on previously published conference papers must be extended substantially. Electronic submissions must be in PDF format and should be prepared according to the journal guidelines. The submissions should be performed through the journal submission system.
