The Washington Quarterly is an essential source of incisive, independent thinking about our changing world. Each quarterly issue addresses topics such as: the future of international security; trade, finance, and economics; political-military problems; arms control; foreign policy challenges and processes; regional issues and flashpoints.

The World Bank Economic Review is one of the most widely read scholarly economic journals in the world. It is the only journal of its kind that specializes in quantitative development policy analysis. Subject to strict refereeing, articles examine policy choices and therefore emphasize policy relevance rather than theory or methodology. Readers include economists and other social scientists in government, business, international agencies, universities, and research institutions. The WBER seeks to provide the most current and best research in the field of economic development.

The World Bank journals enjoy the largest circulation of any economics title; the Research Observer is freely distributed to more than 9,100 subscribers in non-OECD countries.The World Bank Research Observer seeks to inform nonspecialist readers about research being undertaken within the Bank and outside the Bank in areas of economics relevant for development policy. Requiring only a minimal background in economic analysis, its surveys and overviews of key issues in development economics research are intended for policymakers, project officers, journalists keeping up to date, and teachers and students of development economics and related disciplines. Papers for the Observer are not sent out to referees, but all articles published are assessed and approved by the Editorial Board, which includes three to four distinguished economists from outside the Bank. The Observer has nearly 1,500 subscribers in OECD countries and nearly 10,000 subscribers in developing countries.The journal has an impact factor of 1.700 and is ranked 16/191 in the Economics category, and 3/38 in the Planning and Development category of the ISI Journal Citation Reports (2008).

Theatre, Dance and Performance Training (TDPT) is a twice-yearly, peer-reviewed journal which acts as a research forum for practitioners, academics, creative artists and pedagogues interested in training in all its complexity and across cultures. The journal is dedicated to revealing the vital and diverse processes of training and their relationship to performance making, including those from the past, from the present, and into the future. This diversity is reflected in the journal's international scope and interdisciplinary form and focus. TDPT acts as an outlet for documenting and analysing primary materials relating to regimes of performer training as well as encouraging discursive contributions in a range of critical and creative formats. It provides a valuable meeting-point for practitioner-researchers wanting to know more about training before, beneath, beyond and within performance.Some key areas of interest for all three sections of the journal include:Training purposes: why train, who trains and what is trained?Training histories: the currency of historic training approaches in the C21stTraining futures: emerging trends and methodologiesInterdisciplinary training/Training interdisciplinarity Derivations, lineages and (false) traditionsDocumentation and training Training places: laboratories, conservatoires, universities, schools, ensemblesTraining the untrainable: intuition, creativity, presence, talentIntercultural trainingThe languages of training and the problems of translationEmbodied knowledge and its disseminationThe politics and ethics of trainingTraining for and with new mediaTraining pedagogies and pedagoguesLifelong or continuing training The editors are currently inviting submissions for three distinct areas of the journal:Articles For the largest section of the journal, submissions are sought in the form of articles, critiques and extended analyses. SourcesMaterials relating to regimes of performer training 8211; workshop transcripts, interviews, new translations or publications of key training documents, practitioner logbooks, academy or laboratory curricula, training methodologies or manifestoes, framed by the author and contextualized for the reader.Training GroundsContributions in a range of shorter, more immediate forms capturing a sudden realization or discovery in training; considered reflections of performance work encountered, reviews of training texts or workshops experienced.

Theoretical Issues in Ergonomics Science aims to advance the science and philosophy of human-centered design. The journal focuses on a broad array of theoretical issues, methodology, and philosophical dialogues within the science of human factors and ergonomics, and is a highly respected forum for interdisciplinary discussion within this field, cutting across the design, engineering, technology, and management of human-compatible systems in the broadest sense. The Journal is proactive in its mission to develop a unique discipline, and seeks to define and promote theories of ergonomics as distinct and inherently valuable for the global knowledge community, including human factors scientists and engineers, ergonomists, industrial designers, industrial engineers, systems engineers, design engineers, cognitive and organizational psychologists, occupational health specialists and human-computer interaction specialists.Theoretical Issues in Ergonomics Science emphasizes new knowledge, publishing original, high-quality, peer-reviewed papers as well as commissioned reviews and peer-reviewed commentaries. Topics include both qualitative and quantitative methodological frameworks and theories of ergonomics. The Journal presents papers that discuss principles of the investigative process in ergonomics research, social and historical issues, and science of science perspectives on ergonomics. Papers that examine the discipline itself, including bibliographical analyses of classic papers, are also published.Unlike other ergonomics journals that deal primarily with applications, Theoretical Issues in Ergonomics Science focuses on theoretical aspects of the science, such as causality and the underlying aspects of behaviour in a complex human-technology-environment systems sense. Above all, the Journal provides a vehicle for the dissemination of research on the underpinning scientific foundation of the discipline of ergonomics that no other publication covers. It creates the opportunity to consider the newest approaches of associated domains and to implant them in work system design. Authors are encouraged to discuss extensive and coherent theories that stimulate future empirical and modelling research within the ergonomics discipline.

Starting in 2001 under the new editorship of Manfred Krifka (Humboldt University, Berlin), THEORETICAL LINGUISTICS has appeared as an open peer review journal. Each issue contains one long target article about a topic of general linguistic interest, together with several shorter reactions, comments and reflections on it. We hope that this format stimulates discussion in linguistics and adjacent fields of study, in particular across schools of different theoretical orientations.
