The Journal of Graph Theory is devoted to a variety of topics in graph theory, such as structural results about graphs, graph algorithms with theoretical emphasis, and discrete optimization on graphs. The scope of the journal also includes related areas in combinatorics and the interaction of graph theory with other mathematical sciences. A subscription to the Journal of Graph Theory includes a subscription to the Journal of Combinatorial Designs .

The Journal of Graphic Novels and Comics is a peer reviewed journal covering all aspects of the graphic novel, comic strip and comic book, with the emphasis on comics in their cultural, institutional and creative contexts. Its scope is international, covering not only English language comics but also worldwide comic culture. The journal reflects interdisciplinary research in comics and aims to establish a dialogue between academics, historians, theoreticians and practitioners of comics. It therefore examines the production and consumption of comics within the contexts of culture: art, cinema, television and new media technologies. The journal will include all forms of 'sequential imagery' including precursors of the comic but the main emphasis will be on twentieth and twenty-first century examples, reflecting the increasing interest in the modern forms of the comic, its production and cultural consumption. Support for the Journal of Graphic Novels and ComicsThe Journal of Graphic Novels and Comics has come along at just the right time. The rapid growth in comics study in the academy, both within and across a number of disciplines, has revealed the increasing need of a peer-reviewed journal that is both interdisciplinary and that looks at comics in all its manifestations. Such a journal would serve as both a central gathering point for interesting scholarship, and as a legitimating force for the new scholars staking out this territory. The journal is well poised to address comics with the dynamism that the medium demands as well as the rigour which has been sometimes lacking. Scott Bukatman, Associate Professor of Film and Media Studies, Stanford University, USA The Journal of Graphic Novels and Comics is a new and greatly needed kid on the academic block that fills a gap in the expanding field of Comics Studies. It's interdisciplinary focus on one of the most enduring art forms of the last century promises to encourage the publication of exciting, new research into the study of comics and the media they impact upon.Angela Ndalianis, Board of Directors, Institute for Comics Studies, Melbourne University The Journal of Graphic Novels and Comics represents the next, needed stage in the development of comics studies as a discipline with its own academic institutions. The journal recognizes the inherently interdisciplinary nature of comics and points to the growing conversation taking place between scholars and professionals. To advance in the academy, comics scholars need the validation of peer review, and comics as a medium needs additional outlets for serious analysis and discussion. JGNC is a welcome addition to and recognition of the growing field of comics studies and the importance of the comics medium in the twenty-first century.Peter Coogan, Director of the Institute for Comics Studies, Washington University in St. Louis, USA DisclaimerTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.

The Journal of Great Lakes Research is multidisciplinary in its coverage, publishing manuscripts on a wide range of theoretical and applied topics in the fields of biology, chemistry, physics, and geology of the large lakes of the world and their watersheds. We also welcome contributions on saline lakes. Research on estuarine waters may be considered if the results have application to large lakes. Large lakes generally are considered as those lakes which have a mean surface area of >500 km2 (see Herdendorf, C.E. 1982. Large lakes of the world. J. Great Lakes Res. 8:379-412, for examples), although smaller lakes may be considered, including very deep lakes. For example, the Journal has published papers on the Finger Lakes and, more recently, on Quesnel Lake in British Columbia.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

The Journal of Greek Linguistics (JGL) is an established peer-reviewed international journal dedicated to the descriptive and theoretical study of the Greek language from its roots in Ancient Greek down to present-day dialects and varieties, including those spoken in Asia Minor, Cyprus, Tsakonia, and the Greek diaspora. It aims to offer a focused outlet for publication of first-class research in Greek Linguistics, broadly construed.

The Journal of Grid Computing explores an emerging technology that enables large-scale resource sharing problem solving within distributed, loosely coordinated groups sometimes termed 'virtual organizations'. Coverage includes protocols, security, scaling and more. Although the advantages of this technology for classes of applications have been acknowledged, research in a variety of disciplines is needed to broaden the applicability and scope of the current body of knowledge. This journal fills the need, covering such topics as protocols, middleware, and services, security, discovery, sharing, scaling, and more. Discussion extends to advanced technologies for collaborative work, information sharing and problem solving.
