Journal Guide

The field of computer virus prevention has rapidly taken an important position in our technological and information society. Viral attacks increase year after year, and antiviral efforts continually face new challenges. Beneficial applications of technologies based on scientific computer virology are still very limited. The theoretical aspects of the virus problem are only rarely considered, although many interesting and important open problems still exist. Little proactive research is focused on predicting the future of viral attacks. The Journal in Computer Virology is an independent scientific and technical journal dedicated to viral and antiviral computer technologies. Both theoretical and experimental aspects will be considered; papers emphasizing the theoretical aspects are especially welcome. The topics covered by this journal include, but are certainly not limited to: - Mathematical aspects and theoretical fundamentals of computer virology - Algorithmics and computer virology - Computer immunology and biological models for computers - Reverse engineering - Viral technologies - Antiviral technologies - Cryptologic techniques and tools in computer virology - Steganographic techniques and tools in computer virology - Applications in computer virology - Virology and IDS In addition, since computational problems are of practical interest, papers on the computational aspects of computer virology are welcome. It is expected that the areas covered by this journal will change as new technologies, methodologies, challenges and applications develop. The aim of the Journal in Computer Virology is to promote constructive research in computer virology by publishing technical and scientific results related to this research area. Submitted papers will be judged primarily by their content, their originality and their technical and scientific quality. Contributions should comprise novel and previousl, y unpublished material. However, prior publication in conference proceedings of an abstract, summary, or other abbreviated, preliminary form of the material should not preclude publication in this journal when notice of such prior or concurrent publication is given with the submission. In addition to full-length theoretical and technical articles, short communications or notes are acceptable. Survey papers will be accepted with a prior invitation only. Special issues devoted to a single topic are also planned. The policy of the journal is to maintain strict referring procedures, to perform a high quality peer-review of each submitted paper, and to send notification to the author(s) with as short a delay as possible. Accepted papers will normally be published within one year of submission at the latest. The journal will be published four times a year. Every submitted paper will be anonymously peer-reviewed according to the following rules: - Invited paper with board member as (co)author: at least one reviewer, - Regular paper with no board member as (co)author: three reviewers, - Regular papers with board member as (co)author: four reviewers. Note: As far as new viral techniques are concerned, the journal strongly encourages authors to consider algorithmic aspects rather than the actual source code of a particular virus. Nonetheless, papers containing illustrative excerpts of viral source codes may be accepted provided that a scientific approach is maintained and that inclusion of these excerpts is strictly necessary for the presentation of the research. No paper containing a complete viral source code will be considered or accepted. The final objective is, once again, proactive defence. A prize of 500 euros will be awarded to the best paper every year. The journal will be published by Springer France.

The Journal of Academic Ethics is an interdisciplinary, peer reviewed journal devoted to the examination of ethical issues related to all aspects of post-secondary education, primarily within a university context.

The journal will provide a forum for the publication and discussion of original research on a broad range of ethical considerations in research, teaching, administration and governance. In the presence of the rapidly changing global knowledge economy, there is a need for sustained inquiry into the values, purposes and functions of the world's principal institutions responsible for the creation and dissemination of knowledge. The Journal of Academic Ethics aims to encourage, foster and promote this inquiry.

Representative areas of investigation include ethical considerations in: Research e.g.,
Selection of research subjects and research methods: Treatment of human and animal subjects:
Treatment of diversity regarding race, gender, class, ethnicity:
Referencing and citation behaviour:
Grant and funding assessments:
Publication editing, refereeing processes and procedures:
Conflicts of interest:
Plagiarism, deception, fraud: and
Graduate training versus exploitation of graduate students. Teaching e.g., Broader education, including ethical education, versus disciplinary specialization:
Character deportment with respect to treatment of students, colleagues, staff - harassment, discrimination, exploitation:
Commitment to learning, keeping current in area of specialization:
Performance standards - assignments, examinations, grading, office hours, mentoring, consultations:
Carrying on the tradition (i.e. the Canon) versus challenging tradition:
Graduate training versus exploitation of graduate students: and
Online graduate and undergraduate education. Service e.g., To the institution:
To the profession:
To the larger commu, nity:
Institutional versus individual outreach:
Popularization and professional standards:
Volunteering and merit assessment: and
The role of the citizen scholar. Administration e.g., Accountability and management to all shareholders (students, the State, private and corporate donors, the public):
Philanthropy, conditionality and university autonomy:
Tenure and academic freedom:
Collective agreements:
Disciplinary matters:
Recruitment and retention (competition for students and faculty):
Administration of scholarships and bursaries:
Leadership, integrity and compromise:
Performance indicators, individual and institutional: and
Private goods and public goods. Governance e.g., Selection of Governors and Trustees:
Role of Boards of Governors, Trustees in management:
Role of government in management: and
Role of faculty and students in management. Contributions: The journal publishes articles, short research notes, letters and book reviews.

The Journal of Access Services welcomes the submission of research, theory, and practice papers relevant to the access services in libraries and archives of all types. Access Services is the broad field and collective term of all the services that provide, facilitate, and manage the access of the clientele to the information resources acquired or made available by the libraries or archives with the aim of allowing for easy and convenient retrieval of needed information, utilization of information resources to the fullest extent, and greatest availability of resources to each of the clientele. Major responsibilities of Access Services units frequently include, but are not limited to, stacks maintenance, circulation services, document delivery and interlibrary loan, reserve reading collections, building security and maintenance, and user area maintenance. The evolution of technology has led Access Services departments to provide access to both traditional and electronic information resources, regardless of whether they are licensed, or held locally, remotely, or consortially, and demands continuous review of means for delivering the services and the kind of services that should be provided. This journal looks for best practices and new insights of the Access Services that may be based on research, studies, and experiences. Peer Review Policy: Manuscripts submitted to this journal undergo editorial screening and peer review by anonymous reviewers.Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

JAOC is designed to provide a platform for interdisciplinary researchers and practitioners to disseminate information on contemporary organizational changes and accounting practices in industry, public and nonprofit organizations, or in the private sector.

The Journal of Accounting Education (JAEd) is a refereed journal dedicated to promoting and publishing research on accounting education issues and to improving the quality of accounting education worldwide.The Journal provides a vehicle for making results of empirical studies available to educators and for exchanging ideas, instructional resources, and best practices that help improve accounting education. The Journal includes four sections: a Main Articles Section, a Teaching and Educational Notes Section, an Educational Case Section, and a Best Practices Section. Manuscripts published in the Main Articles Section generally present results of empirical studies, although non-empirical papers (such as policy-related or essay papers) are sometimes published in this section. Papers published in the Teaching and Educational Notes Section include short empirical pieces (e.g., replications) as well as instructional resources that are not properly categorized as cases, which are published in a separate Case Section. Note: as part of the Teaching Note accompany educational cases, authors must include implementation guidance (based on actual case usage) and evidence regarding the efficacy of the case vis-à-vis a listing of educational objectives associated with the case.The Best Practices section includes individual and institutional practices related to, for example, student recruitment, student advising, student retention, alumni relations, and efforts to integrate accounting practice and accounting education. These articles are typically shorter in length than Main Section (i.e., research-based) articles. While such papers do not need evidence obtained on the basis of an experimental design (e.g., pre- versus post-test comparison), some evidence regarding the value or benefit of the best practice should be included, along with a discussion of relevant costs (out-of-pocket as well as opportunity costs, such as faculty time, practitioner involvement, etc.). Finally, note that the JAEd publishes manuscripts on all topics that are relevant to accounting education, including uses of technology, learning styles, assessment, curriculum, and faculty-related issues.
