Journal Guide

Research on Aging (ROA), peer-reviewed and published bi-monthly, is an interdisciplinary journal designed to reflect the expanding role of research in the field of social gerontology. For over three decades, scholars, researchers and professionals like yourself have turned to ROA for the latest analyses on the critical issues facing today's elderly population. This outstanding journal serves as an international forum on the aged and the ageing process, providing you with the knowledge you need to help improve practices and policies concerning the elderly.

Research on Biomedical Engineering is the official journal of the Brazilian Society of Biomedical Engineering and is dedicated to publishing research in all fields of Biomedical Engineering. In addition, this journal aims to provide educational material and professional updating, as well as serving as a forum for the establishment of developing policies and incorporation of health technologies by the public or private sectors.

Research on Chemical Intermediates publishes current research articles and concise dynamic reviews on the properties, structures and reactivities of intermediate species in all the various domains of chemistry. The journal also contains articles in related disciplines such as spectroscopy, molecular biology and biochemistry, atmospheric and environmental sciences, catalysis, photochemistry and photophysics. In addition, special issues dedicated to specific topics in the field are regularly published.

The Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology brings together the latest research on psychopathology in childhood and adolescence, with an emphasis on empirical studies of the major childhood disorders (the disruptive behavior disorders, depression, anxiety, and pervasive developmental disorders). Studies focus on the epidemiology, etiology, assessment, treatment, prognosis, follow-up, and developmental course of child and adolescent disorders. Studies highlighting risk and protective factors, the ecology and correlates of children's behavior problems, and advances in prevention and treatment are featured. The Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology is the official journal of the International Society for Research in Child and Adolescent Psychopathology (ISRCAP), a multidisciplinary scientific society.

The journal publishes the highest quality empirical and theoretical research bearing on language as it is used in interaction. Researchers in communication, discourse analysis, conversation analysis, linguistic anthropology and ethnography are likely to be the most active contributors, but we welcome submission of articles from the broad range of interaction researchers. Published papers will normally involve the close analysis of naturally-occurring interaction. The journal is also open to theoretical essays, and to quantitative studies where these are tied closely to the results of naturalistic observation. Peer Review Policy: All articles have undergone anonymous double-blind review. Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

Research on Social Work Practice (RSWP), published bi-monthly, is a disciplinary journal devoted to the publication of empirical research concerning the assessment methods and outcomes of social work practice. Social work practice is broadly interpreted to refer to the application of intentionally designed social work intervention programs to problems of societal or interpersonal importance. Interventions include behavior analysis and therapy; psychotherapy or counseling with individuals; case management; education; supervision; practice involving couples, families, or small groups; advocacy; community practice; organizational management; and the evaluation of social policies.

Research-Technology Management is the Industrial Research Institute’s award-winning, bimonthly journal focused on the practice of innovation. Its peer-reviewed articles connect theory to practice across the spectrum of technological innovation and innovation management. Since its inception in 1958, the journal has published articles that map the cutting edge in R&D management, illustrate how academic management theory can be applied in the real world, and give R&D leaders the tools to promote innovation throughout their organizations.

As a leading source of knowledge on innovation management, RTM publishes reports on quantitative and qualitative studies, case studies, descriptions of new practical models and paradigms for understanding and fostering innovation, and examples of tools in use. RTM articles cover a wide range of topics in innovation and technology management, including:

• Product development processes and strategy
• R&D portfolio management
• R&D performance metrics
• Management of technical and creative people
• Technology roadmapping
• Strategy and innovation
• Innovation and design, including design thinking
• Innovation and organizational culture
• Innovation and sustainability
• Business model innovation
• Corporate entrepreneurialism and intrapreneuring
• Industry/academic and private/public-sector partnerships
• Globalization and innovation
• Intellectual asset management
• Emerging trends, such as digitalization, additive manufacturing, and other forces reshaping R&D

We also publish several special issues each year, addressing a current or emerging issue in innovation management. We do not publish literature surveys, work that is solely academic in focus or audience, or articles whose primary audience is innovation policy makers rather than R&D leaders.

RTM accepts submissions only via Editorial Manager. All submitted manuscripts are subject to a rigorous initial appraisal by the Editor-in-Chief. Those found suitable for further consideration are sent for peer review by expert referees; our panel of peer reviewers is made up of both working practitioners and academic specialists. All peer review is double blinded; the final decision is made by the Editor-in-Chief.

Queries regarding special issues or submissions can be made by contacting the Managing Editor, MaryAnne M. Gobble ( Gobble@iriweb.org).
