The Journal of Acupuncture and Meridian Studies is a bimonthly, peer-reviewed journal featuring high-quality studies related to basic and clinical acupuncture and meridian research. It includes new paradigm of integrative research, covering East and West and traditional and modern medicine. The journal also covers areas of integrative biomedical research and health science in general and other modalities. The subjects for the journal include researches on anatomy and functions of meridians, basic and clinical researches on acupressure, electroacupuncture, laser acupuncture, pharmacopuncture (herbal acupuncture, acupoint injection), veterinary acupuncture, and related animal studies. Articles on general health science and other modalities, such as anthroposophy, ayurveda, bioelectromagnetic therapy, chiropractic, herbology (herbal medicine), homeopathy, neural therapy and meditation, may also be eligible for consideration if the articles are related to acupuncture and meridian studies.Manuscripts should fall into one of the categories: topical review, original research paper, brief report and case report. Launched in 2008, JAMS is published bimonthly in February, April, June, August, October, and December each year.The journal is indexed in MedLine/PubMed/Index Medicus, SCOPUS, ScienceDirect, EMBASE, CINAHL Plus, Google Scholar, DOI/Crossref, and Korea Citation Index(KCI). Its abbreviated title is J Acupunct Meridian Stud. This journal was supported by the Korean Federation of Science and Technology Societies Grant funded by the Korean Government (MEST).

Access to selected top articles from Educational Media & Technology Journals2009 Impact Factor: 0.900Ranking: 50/139 (Education & Educational Research)169; Thomson Reuters, Journal Citation Reports 2010Innovations in Education and Teaching International (IETI), is the journal of the Staff and Educational Development Association (SEDA) www.seda.ac.uk. As such, contributions to the Journal should reflect SEDA's aim to promote innovation and good practice in higher education through staff and educational development and subject-related practices. Contributions are welcomed on any aspect of promoting and supporting educational change in higher and other post-school education, with an emphasis on research, experience, scholarship and evaluation, rather than mere description of practice. Educational development 8211; also described as academic, faculty, staff or instructional development in some contexts 8211; is taken to mean the activities engaged in by staff in specialist units, academic staff in departments, academic leaders and managers, those involved with quality enhancement initiatives, and others with an interest in educational change, to bring about improvements in, and a better understanding of, policy and practices of learning, teaching, assessment and curriculum development. Contributors should remember the international nature of the Journal's readership and both contextualise and consider the transferability of the practices and theories being examined.Innovations in Education & Teaching International (IETI) is essential reading for all practitioners and decision makers who want to stay informed about the developments in education, teaching and learning.Peer Review Policy: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.Disclaimer for Scientific, Technical and Social Science publications:Taylor & Francis and SEDA make every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.

Innovations in Systems and Software Engineering: A NASA Journal addresses issues and innovations in Systems Engineering, Systems Integration, Software Engineering, Software Development and other related areas that are specifically of interest to NASA. The journal includes peer-reviewed world-class technical papers on topics of research, development and practice related to NASA's missions and projects, topics of interest to NASA for future use, and topics describing problem areas for NASA together with potential solutions. Papers that do not address issues related to NASA are of course very welcome, provided that they address topics that NASA might like to consider for the future. Papers are solicited from NASA and government employees, contractors, NASA-supported academic and industrial partners, and non-NASA-supported academics and industrialists both in the USA and worldwide. The journal includes updates on NASA innovations, articles on NASA initiatives, papers looking at educational activities, and a State-of-the-Art section that gives an overview of specific topic areas in a comprehensive format written by an expert in the field.

Innovative Food Science and Emerging Technologies (IFSET) aims to provide the highest quality original contributions on new developments in food science and emerging technologies. The work described should be innovative either in the approach or in the methods used. The significance of the results either for the science community or for the food industry must also be specified. Papers submitted for publication must be novel and of high scientific quality and impact. Only papers which advance current scientific knowledge, with industrial relevance, which advance current understanding will be considered for review and publication. IFSET does not publish preliminary or confirmatory results. The journal publishes selected research and review articles dealing with engineering, scale-up, safety, sustainability, kinetics and mechanistic aspects of promising food processing technologies. Each article should make a clear contribution to further the understanding of a given science and technology area, and help clarify, when possible, whether or not it could be adopted by the food industry. Articles addressing the novel combination of more than one technology are within the scope of the journal, as are articles dealing with innovation and advances in all branches of food science, including food biotechnology, nutrition and material science.Topics covered include:new and emerging technologies for foods and food constituents; process-structure-function relationships at macro-, micro- and nano scale; tailor made foods;process control, process-packaging interactions;resource efficient processes; sustainable processes; kinetics and mechanisms of inactivation of micro-organisms, enzymes, viruses, allergens and toxins; nutrient retention, accessibility and availability;structural changes, texture and rheology;minimal processing; Example of processes include: high hydrostatic pressure processing; pulsed light or electric fields; microwave and radio-frequency heating;ultrasonics; cold plasma; irradiation; UV light; high pressure homogenization; ohmic heating;dense gases; thermal, non-thermal and sub-zero processing.The online Guide for Authors can be found at http://ees.elsevier.com/ifsetBenefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Innovative Higher Education is a refereed scholarly journal that strives to package fresh ideas in higher education in a straightforward and readable fashion. The four main purposes of Innovative Higher Education are: (1) to present descriptions and evaluations of current innovations and provocative new ideas with relevance for action beyond the immediate context in higher education: (2) to focus on the effect of such innovations on teaching and students: (3) to be open to diverse forms of scholarship and research methods by maintaining flexibility in the selection of topics deemed appropriate for the journal: and (4) to strike a balance between practice and theory by presenting manuscripts in a readable and scholarly manner to both faculty and administrators in the academic community.
