Journal Guide

Changing English is an established journal for English teachers in primary, secondary and tertiary education. The journal aims to encourage international dialogue between teachers and researchers and to support teachers and schools on issues surrounding literacy and language. In particular, Changing English considers the future of English as a subject in the context of its history and the scope for development and change.Recent years have seen new arguments and new contents offered for English in many countries, at a time when governments have given issues in English teaching a new prominence and where students' linguistic and cultural backgrounds are diverse. Changing English provides a forum for necessary debate and for evaluation of new perspectives.The editors encourage articles and reviews from writers concerned with English teaching worldwide. Contributions are welcome which discuss developments in aspects of language, literacy and literature teaching in all areas of the curriculum.Peer Review Statement:All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two anonymous referees.

Channels is the first international peer-reviewed journal to focus exclusively on all aspects of ion channel and ion transporter/exchanger function. This includes papers on biophysics, structure, molecular biology, structure-function analysis, and regulation of channels and ion transport proteins, as well as their roles in health and disease. We also encourage submission of manuscripts concerned with physiological aspects that branch into areas such as neuroscience and cardiovascular sciences, provided that channels and/or transporters are the main focus of such studies. There are no limitations on technical and experimental approaches that will be considered.The goal is to foster communication and rapid exchange of information through timely publication of important results using traditional (print) as well as electronic formats (online). The overriding criteria for publication in Channels are originality, scientific merit and general interest. Channels is a bi-monthly publication.Categories of manuscripts include original research, reviews, article addenda, commentaries and meeting reports. All manuscripts are sent for in depth peer review, however, the editorial board will consider reviewer reports from submissions to leading journals such as Nature, Science and Cell for accelerated review. Our goal is for Channelsto become the leading journal in the ion channel and transporter fields.

Chaos, Solitons & Fractals aims to be a leading journal in the interdisciplinary field of Nonlinear Science, and Nonequilibrium and Complex Phenomena. It encourages the submission of articles on the following subjects in this field: dynamics; non-equilibrium processes in physics, chemistry and geophysics; complex matter and networks; mathematical models; computational biology; applications to quantum and mesoscopic phenomena; fluctuations and random processes; self-organization; social phenomena.The journal can only accept papers whose primary subject area lies within the above Aims & Scope. In particular, please take notice of the following:• Papers of a more applied or engineering nature can be considered when they are closely connected to one of the subjects of the journal and contribute to a better understanding of that subject.• In order to be acceptable, manuscripts on integrable systems should at least attempt a connection to physical insight or new qualitative features. The word “Solitons” should be understood as a label especially extended to all nonlinear integrable systems in complex natural phenomena. The paper should not bear on some explicit formulae, some standard solutions, constructions, or asymptotic methods.• The journal is interested in articles providing strong insights in the mathematical theory of fractals that play an important role either in understanding the general theory or are profound for an important particular application, especially in complex systems. Numerical computations should only assist the developed results. Also welcome are the discovery of new fractals that are crucial for important applications.The subject listing is specified further in the journal's classification list. Authors are required to specify matching classifications upon submission of their work.Note for authors:Plagiarism is unethical behaviour and is not tolerated at Chaos, Solitons & Fractals. All manuscripts submitted to Chaos, Solitons & Fractals will be checked for originality using the CrossCheck database.

chaos is a quarterly journal published by the American Institute of Physics and devoted to increasing the understanding of nonlinear phenomena and describing the manifestations in a manner comprehensible to researchers from a broad spectrum of disciplines.

Check List is a peer-reviewed online journal, devoted to publishing biodiversity data related to species’ geographic distributions. Thus, our primary mission is to fill the so-called Wallacean shortfall (Lomolino 2004) and to improve our knowledge of how life is distributed on the planet in order to better preserve it. These data are essential for studies on biogeography and provide a baseline for the conservation of biodiversity. The first step to undertaking effective conservation action is to maintain records of the distribution of species.

Chem provides a home for seminal and insightful research and showcases how exceptional fundamental studies in chemistry and its sub-disciplines may help to find potential solutions to the global challenges of tomorrow. Chem is committed to providing authors with a fast, fair, informed, and responsive review process. Our PhD-trained scientific editors work with authors, reviewers, and editorial board members with the goal of publishing the most interesting discoveries in chemistry each year. 

Chem & Bio Engineering is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal that publishes significant advances in cutting-edge areas of chemical and biological engineering. 

The field of chemical and biological engineering faces emerging challenges of developing efficient and sustainable solutions in areas such as manufacturing, energy, environmental stewardship, and healthcare. In this regard, Chem & Bio Engineering aims to be a premier journal for chemical and biological engineers to share and discuss innovative and inspirational research that seeks to address these multifaceted challenges.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Advanced catalysis engineering for energy, health, and sustainability.
• Advanced separation with novel adsorbents/membranes, process design and integration, and applications for gas separation, water purification, energy storage, biomedical devices, etc.
• Advanced synthesis and scalable processes.
• Biomedical engineering and synthetic biology.
• Computer-aided discovery, design, and optimization of functional (bio)molecules, materials, and processes
• Materials engineering for energy harvesting & storage, information storage & processing, flexible electronics, diagnosis & therapy, etc.
• Sustainable engineering.

APCs for manuscripts submitted by December 31, 2026 are covered by the journal if they are accepted after peer review.
