The Journal of Friction and Wear publishes theoretical and experimental papers on all aspects of the science of friction, lubrication and wear. Launched in 1980 at the initiative of V. A. Belyi, and I.V. Kragelskii, the journal today remains the primary source of tribological studies in the former Soviet Union. Among the topics covered are: Friction physics and tribosystem thermodynamics; Surface characterization; Wear monitoring; Surface engineering; Nanotribology; Contact mechanics; Metal fatigue, wear susceptibility measurement; Wear-resistant materials, coatings; Tribology of friction pairs, durability analysis; Bearings: contact interaction, thermoelasticity; Lubricants, surfactants, grease fillers; Tribological design, optimization, testing; Tribology of alloys, self-lubricating polymers, antifriction materials; and Biotribology.

The Journal of Fuel Cell Science and Technology publishes peer-reviewed archival scholarly articles, Research Papers, Technical Briefs, and feature articles on all aspects of the science, engineering, and manufacturing of fuel cells of all types. Specific areas of importance include, but are not limited to: development of constituent materials, joining, bonding, connecting, interface/interphase regions, and seals, cell design, processing and manufacturing, multi-scale modeling, combined and coupled behavior, aging, durability and damage tolerance, reliability, availability, stack design, processing and manufacturing, system design and manufacturing, power electronics, optimization and control, fuel cell applications, and fuels and infrastructure.

1. The nature, processing and utilization of coal, petroleum, oil, shale, natural gas and biomass
2. Applied catalytic research in the chemistry of synthesis of new or alternative energy sources, such as hydrogen energy, fuel cell, synfuels, biofuels and C1 chemistry
3. Related research includes pollution control and environmental protection during fuel conversion and utilization processing, such as elimination of environmentally hazardous effluents, waste (refuse)-derived fuels and waste treatments

Journal of Functional Biomaterials (JFB, ISSN 2079-4983) is an international and interdisciplinary scientific journal that publishes regular research papers (articles), reviews and short communications about applications of materials for biomedical use. JFB covers subjects from chemistry, pharmacy, biology, physics over to engineering. The journal focuses on the preparation, performance and use of  functional biomaterials in biomedical devices and their behaviour in physiological environments. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.

The Journal of Functional Foods aims to bring together the results of fundamental and applied research into functional foods (ie those containing various factors to ensure or enhance health) and their development and commercialization in food products. The journal will cover (but will not be restricted to) the fields of plant bioactives; antioxidants and ageing; dietary fibre, prebiotics and functional starches; probiotics and probiotic functional foods; functional lipids; bioactive peptides; vitamins, minerals and botanicals and other dietary supplements; functional beverages and food products; and molecular nutrition and other relevant aspects of disease prevention and treatment.Papers will cover such issues as new functional food bioactives; efficacy and safety of bioactive compounds and other functional food constituents using genomic technologies, bioassays and dynamic models; characterisation of functional foods and functional constituents with reference to product development; preparation of natural and synthetic ingredients for use in foods, supplements or premixes and improvement of ingredient quality; use of natural and synthetic ingredients in foods, supplements or premixes, effects of processing (including packaging, storage etc) on functionality and improvement of product quality; verification, quality control and traceability of natural and synthetic functional food ingredients and products; improvement of the quality of foods with inherent health benefits ; development and commercialisation of specific functional food products, supplements or functional ingredients; and the regulatory aspects of functional foods and related issues eg labelling, substantiation of health claims.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Journal of Further and Higher Education is an international, peer-reviewed journal which publishes articles and book reviews representing the whole field of post-16 education and training. Topic areas include management and administration, teacher education and training, curriculum, staff and institutional development, and teaching and learning strategies and processes. The journal encourages debate on contemporary pedagogic issues and professional concerns within the UK and abroad. The journal is committed to promoting excellence in these fields by providing a forum for the debate and evaluation of a wide range of pedagogic issues and professional concerns.The majority of articles will take as their focus: Management and administration, particularly cultural and structural development within the system. Curriculum development and its relationship with institutional and staff development. Teaching and learning approaches, strategies and processes. These articles may variously: raise and debate contemporary issues report on new research relate new research to theory elucidate/disseminate relevant theory relate theory to practice offer informed comment on contextual and professional matters (not necessarily research findings) describe cases and their implications for a wider filed present a biographical portrait of seminal figure discuss a historical movement in terms of its relevance to present and future situations. Journal of Further and Higher Education is committed to publishing quality refereed articles representing the whole field of post-16 education and training providing a forum for discussion on areas of management and administration, teacher education and training, curriculum, staff and institutional development, and teaching and learning strategies and processes presenting research in an accessible, succinct style with contributions by staff across the spectrum of further and higher education International PerspectiveThe Journal of Further and Higher Education has carried articles on aspects of many different education systems across the world. There is an increasing need to address issues associated with education on an international and comparative basis. Over the coming years, Journal of Further and Higher Education will be encouraging submission of further articles exploring the distinctive features of education and policy in different countries.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 University and College Union makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.
