Journal Guide

The Journal of Drug Issues (JDI) was incorporated as a nonprofit entity in the State of Florida in 1971. In 1996, JDI was transferred to the Florida State University College of Criminology and Criminal Justice, and the Richard L. Rachin Endowment was established to support its continued publication. Since its inception, JDI has been dedicated to providing a professional and scholarly forum centered on the national and international problems associated with drugs, especially illicit drugs. It is a refereed publication with international contributors and subscribers. As a leader in its field, JDI is an instrument widely used by research scholars, public policy analysts, and those involved in the day-to-day struggle against the problem of drug abuse.

ournal of Drug Targeting publishes papers and reviews on all aspects of drug delivery and targeting for molecular and macromolecular drugs including the design and characterization of carrier systems (whether colloidal, protein or polymeric) for both vitro and/or in vivo applications of these drugs.Papers are not restricted to drugs delivered by way of a carrier, but also include studies on molecular and macromolecular drugs that are designed to target specific cellular or extra-cellular molecules. As such the journal publishes results on the activity, delivery and targeting of therapeutic peptides/proteins and nucleic acids including genes/plasmid DNA, gene silencing nucleic acids (e.g. small interfering (si)RNA, antisense oligonucleotides, ribozymes, DNAzymes), as well as aptamers, mononucleotides and monoclonal antibodies and their conjugates. The diagnostic application of targeting technologies as well as targeted delivery of diagnostic and imaging agents also fall within the scope of the journal. In addition, papers are sought on self-regulating systems, systems responsive to their environment and to external stimuli and those that can produce programmed, pulsed and otherwise complex delivery patterns.Journal of Drug Targeting also carries papers on the physiological and other biological barriers to delivery and targeting, and means of overcoming the barriers, for example, by penetration enhancers, and covers subjects such as extravasation, diffusion in tumours and target tissues, avoidance of the reticulo-endothelial system, and toxicity testing and licensing of novel delivery systems.The Journal’s life-time achievement award winners to date are: 2009: PP Speiser (Switzerland), 2008: G Gregoriadis (UK), 2007: H Maeda (Japan), 2006: H Ringsdorf (Germany), 2005: A T Florence (UK), 2004: R L Juliano (USA)Read More: http://informahealthcare.com/page/drt/Description.

The Journal of Dual Diagnosis is a quarterly, international publication that focuses on the full spectrum of complexities regarding dual diagnosis. The co-occurrence of mental health and substance use disorders, or 8220;dual diagnosis,8221; is one of the quintessential issues in behavioral health. Why do such high rates of co-occurrence exist? What does it tell us about risk profiles? How do these linked disorders affect people, their families, and the communities in which they live? What are the natural paths to recovery? What specific treatments are most helpful and how can new ones be developed? How can we enhance the implementation of evidence-based practices at clinical, administrative, and policy levels? How can we help clients to learn active recovery skills and adopt needed supports, clinicians to master new interventions, programs to implement effective services, and communities to foster healthy adjustment? The Journal addresses each of these perplexing challenges. The Journal of Dual Diagnosis includes articles and perspectives from four overarching domains relevant to the field: Psychopharmacology & Neurobiology, Psychotherapy & Psychosocial Issues, Services & Policy, and Clinical Forum. Each issue (although not necessarily each article within an issue) serves to encourage integration of these domains. The Journal seeks to publish articles relevant to a wide range of individuals interested in dual diagnosis: researchers; physicians; clinicians; trainees and administrators. High-quality empirical research, brief reports, timely reviews, thought-provoking editorials, and on-going discussions of clinical issues will be considered for publication, all with the aim of developing a better understanding of the basis of and optimal treatment for co-occurring psychiatric and substance use disorders.

The Journal of Dynamical Systems and Geometric Theories is a refereed journal following two- referee system which is published in one volume per year of two issues in the months of May and November. It is the intention of the JDSGT to publish a broad range of research, survey and expository papers on dynamical systems and geometry, the interactions between these two subjects and their relationships with the other branches of knowledge. The intended audience consists of mathematicians as well as theoretical and mathematical physicists whose interests the areas of dynamics and geometry, broadly interpreted.

Journal of Dynamical and Control Systems examines the entire spectrum of issues related to dynamical systems, focusing on the theory of smooth dynamical systems with analyses of measure-theoretical, topological, and bifurcational aspects. It covers all essential branches of the theory--local, semilocal, and global--including the theory of foliations. The journal also features in-depth papers devoted to control systems research that spotlight the geometric control theory, which unifies Lie-algebraic and differential-geometric methods of investigation in control and optimization, and ultimately relates to the general theory of dynamical systems. Journal of Dynamical and Control Systems presents peer-reviewed survey and original research articles. Accessible to a broad range of scholars, each survey paper contains all necessary definitions and explanations, a complete over-view of the problem discussed, and a description of its importance and relationship to basic research on the subject. This publication also f

The Journal of Dynamics and Differential Equations answers the research needs of scholars of dynamical systems. It presents papers on the theory of the dynamics of differential equations (ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, stochastic differential equations, and functional differential equations) and their discrete analogs. The journal also publishes papers dealing with computational results and applications in biology, engineering, physics, and the other sciences, as well as papers in other areas of mathematics which have direct bearing on the dynamics of differential equations. The dynamical issues treated in this journal cover all of the classical topics, including: attractors, bifurcation theory, connection theory, dichotomies, ergodic theory, finite and infinite dimensional systems, index theory, invariant manifolds, Lyapunov exponents, normal forms, singular perturbations, stability theory, symmetries, topological methods, and transversality. In addition, the journal covers
