Journal Guide

The Journal of Building Performance Simulation (JBPS) is the official journal of the International Building Performance Simulation Association (IBPSA). IBPSA is a non-profit international society of computational building performance simulation researchers, developers, practitioners and users, dedicated to improving the design, construction, operation and maintenance of new and existing buildings worldwide.The JBPS is an international refereed journal, publishing only articles of the highest quality that are original, cutting-edge, well-researched and of significance to the international community. The journal also publishes original review papers and researched case studies of international significance.The wide scope of JBPS embraces research, technology and tool development related to building performance modelling and simulation, as well as their applications to design, operation and management of the built environment. This includes modelling and simulation aspects of building performance in relation to other research areas such as building physics, environmental engineering, mechanical engineering, control engineering, facility management, architecture, ergonomics, psychology, physiology, computational engineering, information technology and education. The scope of topics includes the following:Theoretical aspects of building performance modelling and simulation.Methodology and application of building performance simulation for any stage of design, construction, commissioning, operation or management of buildings and the systems which service them.Uncertainty, sensitivity analysis, calibration, and optimization.Methods and algorithms for performance optimization of building and the systems which service them.Methods and algorithms for software design, validation, verification and solution methods. All articles published in JBPS have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.

Journal of Building Physics (J. Bldg. Phys) is an international, peer-reviewed journal that publishes a high quality research and state of the art “integrated” papers to promote scientifically thorough advancement of all the areas of non-structural performance of a building and particularly in heat, air, moisture transfer.Our goal is to enhance deeper insight and understanding, and enable the development of scientifically-based design tools, which are crucial for the implementation of a performance-based engineering approach in building design.Recently the scope of the journal has been broadened, in response to readers' interests--and as a result of the shift in focus of the leading-edge building research organizations. Formerly titled Journal of Thermal Envelope and Building Science, the vision of the JBP is to facilitate the integration and implementation of a scientific approach in building physics with the various domains of building performance.Buildings have enormous impact on global environment, renewable and non-renewable resources and quality of life and durability of the building envelope is one of the critical elements deciding upon the sustainability of built environment. The journal's expanded coverage will stress durability and long-term performance of building envelope systems. Specific stress is placed on environmental aspects and thermal protection of materials, elements and components used construction.

The Journal of Burn Care & Research (preceded by Journal of Burn Care & Rehabilitation), official journal of the American Burn Association, fills a unique niche in health care literature as the only multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal specializing in the care of burn injury. In each bimonthly issue, the content documents the most current information on surgical procedures, acute care, rehabilitation, reconstruction, burn prevention, and research and education. Other topics include physical and occupational therapy, nutrition, current events in the evolving health care debate, and reports on the newest computer software for diagnostics and treatment.For more information, visit www.burncareresearch.com.

The Journal of Business & Economic Statistics serves as a unique meeting place for applied economists, econometricians, and statisticians developing appropriate empirical methodologies for a broad range of topics in business and economics. JBES is consistently ranked among the top 10 of all economics journals. Coverage includes forecasting, data quality, policy evaluation, and more.

Take your skills in business librarianship to the next level!The Journal of Business & Finance Librarianship is an innovative quarterly journal that provides you with useful articles about the creation, organization, dissemination, retrieval, and use of business information. This refereed journal covers the business information needs of special libraries, academic libraries, and public libraries, as well as information services and centers outside of the traditional library setting. You'll find that the journal is international in scope, reflecting the multinational and international scope of the business community today. The immediate focus of the journal is practice-oriented articles, but it also provides an outlet for new empirical studies on business librarianship and business information. Aside from articles, this journal offers valuable statistical and meeting reports, literature and media reviews, Web site reviews, and interviews. Recent issues of the Journal of Business & Finance Librarianship have covered topics such as: political risk and country risk, some of the factors and methods used in foreign country risk analysis, and a variety of political risk sources the structure of the National Trade Data Bank, a comparison of the three versions of it currently on the market, and detailed descriptions of many of the database's most useful programs how and why intranets developed and how they can be used as strategic business tools that empower an organization to meet its corporate vision an analysis of the public rankings of in Canadian business periodicals and a retrieval tool for such information an effective and practical way to get business students familiar with various library resources a selective review of some of the business dictionaries in print Special thematic issues of the journal have covered: Marketing Information The Core Business Web Distance Learning Librarianship Peer Review Policy: All research articles in Business & Finance Librarianship 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.

The Journal of Business & Industrial Marketing (JBIM) publishes research on new ideas concerning business-to-business marketing, that is, how one company or organization markets its goods/services/ideas to another company or organization.
