Journal Guide

iOpenAccess option available for this journal Ethnicity & Health is an international academic journal designed to meet the world-wide interest in the health of ethnic groups. It embraces original papers from the full range of disciplines concerned with investigating the relationship between 'ethnicity' and 'health' (including medicine and nursing, public health, epidemiology, social sciences, population sciences, and statistics). The journal also covers issues of culture, religion, gender, class, migration, lifestyle and racism, in so far as they relate to health and its anthropological and social aspects. The journal aims to: * Deal with practice and policy in a thoughtful and critical way. * Present empirical material in a way that considers theoretical issues in addition to implications for policy and practice, given the contested nature of both 'ethnicity' and 'health'. * Address the methodological problems that face both qualitative and quantitative studies in multi-cultural societies. Readership Ethnicity & Health is directed at the international community. Its audience includes: academics, health and social care practitioners, those who train practitioners, and those in the policy and voluntary sectors.

European Journal of Engineering Education is published six times a year in print and electronic editions and provides an essential forum for dialogue between researchers and specialists in the field of engineering education, at European and worldwide levels.European Journal of Engineering Education is the Official Journal of SEFI, the Soci233;t233; Europ233;enne pour la Formation des Ing233;nieurs (the European Society for Engineering Education). SEFI is a non-governmental organization whose aims are to develop information about engineering education, to improve communication and exchange between professors, researchers and students and to promote cooperation between the various institutions concerned with engineering education.European Journal of Engineering Education examines the economic, cultural, and social factors which influence the education of engineers in different societies and provides a forum in which teachers and researchers in engineering schools, institutions and industry can share accounts of good practice and discuss methodology. Technological change constantly creates new demands on both engineers and the educational system that produces them. The Journal contributes to the development and improvement of engineering education necessary to meet those demands. While European Journal of Engineering Education puts a special emphasis on specific European developments in the field of engineering education, the Journal also welcomes papers presenting a worldwide perspective and with an international or intercultural dimension.In addition to regular issues, from time to time the Journal also publishes special themed issues, each with a specially appointed Guest Editor, which concentrate on a theme that is of general value to everyone involved in engineering education and has particular applications within different engineering disciplines.The structure and organization of the JournalThe Journal welcomes research papers as well as position papers and review articles that debate and explore strategic, theoretical and methodological issues, methodological approaches (assessed best practice), and substantive topics. Papers may be submitted in English but also in French or German, the three official languages of SEFI.All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.The criteria used in the reviewing process are:8226; Importance of the subject for engineering education and its developments8226; Suitability for publication in the Journal according to its editorial policy and scope 8226; Pertinence of the paper and the ideas developed in relation to the topic8226; Originality and innovative potential8226; European and/or international or intercultural perspective8226; Quality of the scientific evidence presented8226; Quality of the literature review8226; Readability, format, style and language.

The European Research Area has now become a reality. The prime objective of the EJECE is to fully document advances in European scientific and technical research in the fields of sustainable construction and environmental engineering. In particular regard to the latter, the environmental preservation of natural media (soils and rocks) and the mitigation of soil pollutions, natural and technological risks are now not only major societal challenges, but they are also the source of scientific and technical developments that could be extremely beneficial.Areas covered by the EJECE include rheology of geomaterials (cement, soils, rocks), natural media (muds, snow, ice, etc.) and granular materials, soil-fluid-structure interactions and their coupling with temperature, chemistry (degradation, etc.) and time (durability, ageing, etc.), computation and design of structures and engineering works. The new experimental facilities and measurement tools (metrology and sensors in laboratories and in the field, etc.) and the characterizing of displacement fields and of micro-meso-structures of materials (scanner, tomodensitometer, etc.) give rise to major innovations which concern thus primarily the EJECE . Finally the numerical methods (finite differences, finite elements, discrete elements, particulate methods, etc), which constitute obviously the bases of the modelling and of the computation of structures and engineering works, fall completely in the interest area of the Journal.Furthermore, as issues related to the environment are obviously of a pluridisciplinary nature, contributions based on probability, reliability studies or statistics, geology or geophysics, thermodynamics, physics of divided matter or chemistry of materials are welcome.The Journal has a wide audience that extends from public and private researchers to engineers in research departments or companies, and aspects linked to applications or to normalisation will also be published.
