Human-Computer Interaction publishes articles that combine research theory and methods in computer science, cognitive science, social science, and design. HCI articles are the most extensive, in-depth investigations of important research issues in the field. HCI also publishes articles with novel perspective and methods. Special Issues in HCI are definitive collections on critical research areas in the field.User Science. HCI seeks to foster a scientific understanding of the cognitive behavior of computer users and the organizational and social impacts of computer use. HCI is concerned with the individual user, small working groups of users, and also the larger social and organizational context of user communities. Theoretical papers should deal with scientific models of user learning or performance or with social models of the user community. Empirical papers may range from controlled laboratory experimentation to field observation. Methodological papers should be analyze and study research methods.System Design. HCI seeks to foster rational discussion of and methods for the design of new computer systems and the evaluation of existing systems. HCI is interested in the range of issues all the way from user-interface design techniques to participatory design practices, and it is also concerned with the process of designing. Theoretical papers should deal with the design principles underlying a particular system or class of systems, or with the abstract structure and process of human-computer interaction. Empirical papers may assess existing or novel interaction techniques, or examine the design process itself. Methodological papers should be concerned with the application of design principles, the rationalization of design alternatives, or the role of empirical methods in the design process.The Instructions for Authors explains how to submit to HCI and how the editorial process works.Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

This long-established journal, now in its third decade of publication, is devoted to reflective inquiry into humanistic psychologies, broadly defined. The Humanistic Psychologist (THP) publishes papers on qualitative research; humanistic, existential, and constructivist psychotherapies; transpersonal/spiritual psychology and psychotherapy; as well as phenomenological, feminist, and multicultural perspectives. In the spirit of a forward moving field, its editorial board welcomes submissions representing both modern conceptions and postmodern critiques of humanistic psychologies. Peer Review Policy: All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by two anonymous referees.Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

Humanities (ISSN 2076-0787) is an international, peer-reviewed, quick-refereeing scholarly open access journal (free for readers). The central concern of this journal pertains to the core values of the Humanities, i.e., focusing on the ideals of human existence, seen through many different lenses. What makes life valuable, livable, meaningful? How can we understand human existence in its historical, artistic, spiritual, linguistic, communicative, environmental, political, and social dimensions? Both historical and modern perspectives are welcome, as well as interdisciplinary approaches. Our aim is to encourage researchers to publish their innovative ideas and results in as much detail as possible, therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers. To guarantee a rapid refereeing and editorial process, Humanities follows standard publication practices in the natural sciences.
