In one forum, Journal of Loss and Trauma brings together scholarship on personal losses relating to family, health, and aging issues. The journal addresses issues dealing with psychological and physical health and interpersonal losses relative to extended family, community life, and society as a whole. In order to broaden the reader's perspective on loss and bereavement, the journal defines loss as a major reduction in a person's resources, whether personal, material, or symbolic, to which the person was emotionally attached. Types of loss covered include: death and dying; dissolution and divorce; loss of employment; life-threatening diseases and long-term disability; loss of possessions; homelessness; recurring and haunting memories; disenfranchisement and stigmatization; losses resulting from war and violence; and aging. The Journal of Loss & Trauma highlights common as well as differing impacts of major losses while revealing commonalities of the various healing processes. Interdisciplinary in its approach, the journal publishes empirically-oriented papers, case studies with intervention strategies, point-counterpoint discussions, theoretical analyses, essays on concepts or links among relevant fields, and therapeutic approaches. Book reviews are also regular features. Peer Review Policy: All research, theoretical, and review articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by 1 to 3 anonymous referees. Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

Journal of Low Power Electronics and Applications (ISSN 2079-9268) is an open access journal which provides an advanced forum for the studies of electronics for low power applications. A special emphasize is made on ultralow power bio-medical applications. It publishes reviews, regular research papers and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. 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 Low Temperature Physics serves an international medium for the publication of original papers and review articles on fundamental theoretical and experimental research developments in all areas of cryogenics and low temperature physics. Subject areas include Superconductivity; Superfluidity, quantum solids, liquids and gases; Matter waves; ultracold quantum gases, laser cooling; Macroscopic quantum effects and coherence; Magnetism and electronic properties, transport and phonon phenomena at low temperatures; Active areas in condensed matter physics, such as localization, quantum Hall effect and heavy Fermions; Quantum size effects and mesoscopic systems; Low temperature technology that concerns new areas of experimental research, and applications. The Journal also publishes Rapid Communications, Technical Notes, Conference Proceedings and Special Issues.

The Journal of Lower Genital Tract Disease, sponsored by the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology, is the source for the latest science in the field of diagnosis, etiology, and therapy of pathologic conditions of the cervix, vagina, and vulva. The Journal is a peer-reviewed publication for the exchange of information among interested health care providers from many different disciplines including pathology, cytology, cytogenetics, gynecologic oncology, endocrinology, preventive medicine, basic science, and clinical medicine. Features include original, peer-reviewed articles; book reviews; case reports; review articles; a Home Study Course including instructional cases with photographs; descriptions of technique/technology; and abstracts from meetings.

The purpose of the Journal of Luminescence is to provide a means of communication between scientists in different disciplines who share a common interest in the electronic excited state of molecular, ionic and covalent systems, whether crystalline, amorphous, or liquid.We invite original papers and reviews on such subjects as: exciton and polariton dynamics, dynamics, dynamics of localized excited states, energy transport in ordered and disordered systems, radiative and non-radiative recombination, relaxation processes, vibronic interactions in electronic excited states, photochemistry in condensed systems, excited state resonance, double resonance, etc, selective excitation spectroscopy, coherent processes in excited states, e.g. coherent optical transients, photon echoes, transient gratings, multiphoton processes such as optical bistability, hole burning, photochromism, multiphoton spectroscopy, new techniques for the study of excited states. This list is not intended to be exhaustive. Papers in the traditional areas of optical spectroscopy (absorption, MCD, luminescence, Raman scattering) are welcome. Papers on applications (phosphors, electro- and cathodo-luminescence, radiography, energy conversion, etc.) are also welcome if they present results of scientific, rather than only technological interest.Whatever the subject, to be accepted a paper must present some genuinely novel result of sufficient importance to justify publication in an international journal. All papers will be refereed. Authors may submit their papers if they wish to an associate editor, but the final responsibility for accepting or rejecting a paper rests with the general editor. Every effort will be made to ensure that submitted papers are acted on promptly. They should appear in print within four months of receipt in final form. Short communications are welcome and will be handled expeditiously.

The journal is devoted to advances in machine design: CAD/CAM: experimental mechanics of machines, machine life expectancy, and reliability studies: machine dynamics and kinematics: vibration, acoustics, and stress/strain: wear resistance engineering: real-time machine operation diagnostics: robotic systems: new materials and manufacturing processes, etc.

Since its inception in 1979, the Journal of Macroeconomics has published theoretical and empirical articles that span the entire range of macroeconomics and monetary economics. More specifically, the editors encourage the submission of high quality papers that are concerned with the theoretical or empirical aspects of the following broadly defined topics: economic growth, economic fluctuations, the effects of monetary and fiscal policy, the political aspects of macroeconomics, exchange rate determination and other elements of open economy macroeconomics, the macroeconomics of income inequality, and macroeconomic forecasting.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
