Journal Guide

Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering covers the experimental and theoretical aspects of rock mechanics, including laboratory and field testing, methods of computation and field observation of structural behavior. The journal maintains the strong link between engineering geology and rock engineering, providing a bridge between fundamental developments and practical application. Coverage includes case histories on design and construction of structures in rock such as underground openings, large dam foundations and rock slopes. Fields of interest include rock mechanics in all its varied aspects including laboratory testing, field investigations, computational methods and design principles. The journal also reports on applications in tunneling, rock slopes, large dam foundations, mining, engineering and engineering geology.

Amateurs as well as professional scientists delight in and pore over Rocks & Minerals, which has published feature articles on mineralogy, geology, and paleontology since 1926. Regular departments explore such topics as minerals for the collector; microminerals; recent books, videos, and DVDs; coming events; museum news; and personalities in the field. Detailed lists of collecting opportunities in specific localities are published periodically, as are special theme issues. Spectacular color photographs appear throughout each issue. Rocks & Minerals works with the Mineralogical Society of America to promote cooperation between collectors and professional mineralogists. The magazine is affiliated with the Friends of Mineralogy as well as the Midwest Federation of Mineralogical and Geological Societies and the Eastern Federation of Mineralogical and Lapidary Societies.

The Roeper Review is an international, quarterly, refereed journal publishing scholarly articles that pertain to practice, policy, applied research, and theory in all dimensions of gifted education. Articles are thought provoking and often interdisciplinary. The Roeper Review aims to enhance the development of gifted individuals and the improvement of the world through more attention to giftedness, talent development, and creativity guided by ethical awareness. Diverse topics include: theories and philosophical analyses pertinent to giftedness, talent, and creativity; gender issues; curriculum studies; instructional strategies; educational psychology; elementary/early childhood/secondary education of the gifted; emotional, motivation, and affective dimensions of gifted individuals; differentiating instruction; teacher education; tests, measurement, and evaluation; and program development.Special FeaturesSpecial Issues. The Roeper Review periodically runs special, themed issues on important topics in the field. Examples of past and forthcoming special issues include: Expanding the Conceptual Foundations for Gifted Education Special Programs for Gifted Students The Neuroscience of Giftedness Global Awareness and the Gifted Dabrowski's Theory of Positive Disintegration History of Gifted Education Gifted Teachers Intelligence Theories in Gifted Education Underrepresentation in Gifted Education Specialized Science, Mathematics, and Technology High Schools Interviews. Each issue includes an engaging interview with a pioneer or a current leader in gifted education or a related field. Column, According to Jim. Eminent pioneer, James J. Gallagher writes a brief column on hot topics in the field. Book Reviews and Dissertation Abstracts. Synopses of recent research and writing pertinent to high ability.Peer Review Policy: All scholarly articles [empirical, theoretical, philosophical] in this journal have undergone rigorous blind peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by at least two, in most cases three, anonymous referees. Two regular features [an interview with an eminent scholar; a brief column by a pioneer in the field] are not reviewed.Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.
