Gesunde Pflanzen (Healthy Plants) publishes practical contributions to the study of plant protection in agriculture, forestry, horticulture and public land and its implications for the environmental and consumer protection and legal issues. Topics ranges from measures and procedures to reduce the risk of infection, to the development and application of non-chemical and chemical control strategies and procedures, to the impact of plant protection to the environment, securing food and general issues such as benefits and risks and to the development of new technologies. Each issue presents original contributions of renowned scientists, the latest information from organizations and the industry, press releases and personalities.

Journal of Crop Protection is one of the TMU Press journals that is published by the responsibility of its Editor-in-Chief and Editorial Board in the determined scopes.

Journal of Crop Protection (JCP) is an international peer-reviewed research journal published quarterly for the purpose of advancing the scientific studies. It covers fundamental and applied aspects of plant pathology and entomology in agriculture and natural resources. The journal will consider submissions from all over the world, on research works not being published or submitted for publication as full paper, review article and research note elsewhere. The Papers are published in English with an extra abstract in Farsi language. 

The Journal of Cross-Cultural Gerontology is an international and interdisciplinary journal providing a forum for scholarly discussion of the aging process and the problems of the aged throughout the world. The journal emphasizes discussions of research findings, theoretical issues and applied approaches that deal with non-Western populations, as well as articles that provide a comparative orientation to the study of the aging process in its social, economic, historical and biological perspectives.

The core of the journal comprises a broad range of articles dealing with non-Western societies, written from the perspectives of history, anthropology, sociology, political science, psychology, population studies, health/biology, etc. A second category of papers includes articles from Western societies comparing sub-cultural groupings or ethnic minorities such as Vietnamese, Turks, etc. Comparative studies of topics related to aging comprise the third group of articles. Such comparative analyses have been on Western and non-Western societies as well as on comparisons of Western societies, such as socialist vs. capitalist systems, for instance, or societies with different social service delivery systems. With societies becoming ever more multicultural and with many societies experiencing a `graying' of their population on a hitherto unprecedented scale, the Journal of Cross-Cultural Gerontology stands at the forefront of one of the most pressing issues of our times.

The Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology (JCC) is a leading interdisciplinary forum for psychologists, sociologists and educators who study how cultural differences in developmental, social and educational experiences affect individual behavior. (JCCP) focuses on today's important cross-cultural issues, including individualism, self-enhancement, acculturation, changing family values, ethnic group comparisons, gender differences, and personality.

Allen Press. Inc. plays a vital role in the dissemination of knowledge and information by partnering with specialty organizations to promote their interests and to achieve their goals.

The Journal of Cryptographic Engineering is an archival journal publishing high-quality scientific articles presenting methods, techniques, tools, implementations, and applications of research in cryptographic engineering, including cryptographic hardware, cryptographic embedded systems, and embedded security. JCEN aims to serve the academic and corporate R&D community interested in cryptographic hardware and embedded security by offering a focused journal drawing together archival papers that are presently scattered across various journals. The Journal of Cryptographic Engineering will cover the research areas summarized below.

The Journal of Cryptology is a forum for original results in all areas of modern information security. Both cryptography and cryptanalysis are covered, including information theoretic and complexity theoretic perspectives as well as implementation, application, and standards issues. Coverage includes such topics as public key and conventional algorithms and their implementations, cryptanalytic attacks, pseudo-random sequences, computational number theory, cryptographic protocols, untraceability, privacy, authentication, key management and quantum cryptography. In addition to full-length technical, survey, and historical articles, the journal publishes short notes. The Journal of Cryptology is the official journal of the International Association for Cryptologic Research.
