The field of knowledge-based development faces the major challenge of making concrete and relevant contributions to the amelioration of societies (i.e. creating a knowledge society) and not solely to the promotion of competitive advantage for businesses. IJKBD serves as a multi-disciplinary platform with a systems approach to the theory and practice of knowledge-based development activities and processes, focusing on knowledge cities and societies, knowledge-based urban development, knowledge and innovation clusters, and knowledge-intensive service activities.
Seeking to present the latest research on policy, practice and theoretical perspectives and their impact on the development and leadership of organisations.
International Journal of Leadership in Education: Theory & Practice is an international journal for the publication of theoretical and practical discussions of educational leadership. The Journal presents:cutting-edge writing on educational leadership, including instructional supervision, curriculum and teaching development, staff development, educational administration and more;an alternative voice: reports of alternative theoretical perspectives, alternative methodologies, and alternative experiences of leadership;a broad definition of leadership, including teachers-as-leaders, shared governance, site-based decision making, and community-school collaborations;an international medium for the publication of theoretical and practical discussions of educational leadership, across a range of approaches, as these relate to ethical, political, epistemological and philosophical issues;a forum for researchers and 'practitioner-researchers' to consider conceptual, methodological, and practical issues in a range of professional and service settings and sectors. Each edition of the journal will be divided into three main sections:1. ResearchThis section will contain peer-reviewed 'reflexive' theoretically-based papers (around 5000-8000 words), debating and exploring theoretical and methodological issues, across a range of disciplines, methodological approaches and substantive topics. In addition, as the Editor deems appropriate, overview or review articles will be commissioned from a leading author, discussing debates or the state of the art in relation to an area of educational leadership.2. PracticeThis section will contain shorter pieces from both academics and other practitioners (around 2000-5000 words) concerned with the application of research methodology among a range of professional and service sectors (for example, action research and practitioner research). These papers will be subject to peer or editorial review, as appropriate.3. CommentaryTimely, provocative, and profound commentary; which may elicit responses - a running dialogue.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 three anonymous referees.

International Journal of Logistics: Research & Applications publishes original and challenging work that has a clear applicability to the business world. As a result the journal concentrates on papers of an academic journal standard but aimed at the practitioner as much as the academic. High quality contributions are therefore welcomed from both academics and professionals working in the field of logistics and supply chain management. Papers should further our understanding of logistics and supply chain management and make a significant original contribution to knowledge. In this context the term 'logistics' is taken in its broadest context as "the management of processes, flow of materials and associated information along the entire supply chain, from raw materials through to the final user of the product". The journal covers all aspects of logistics and supply chain management including, but not limited to, the topics and areas listed below:Inbound and outbound logistics including distribution, transport, warehousing, 3PL and 4PLMaterials Management MRP, DRP, ERP and Vendor or Co-Managed Inventories (VMI)Modelling and simulation of logistics and supply systems and processesDecision support tools, methods and systems such as Value Stream MappingIntra and inter enterprise communication tools and methods such as EDI, Internet, Extranet, RFID etc.Approaches and methods for Collaborative, Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment (CPFR)Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Efficient Consumer Response (ECR)Procurement, e-Commerce, e-auctionsMass Customisation, Order Postponement, ResponsivenessSupplier DevelopmentSupply chain performance managementCollaboration and relationship management approaches in the extended supply chains including supplier networksEnvironmental and sustainability issues in logistics and supply chain including Reverse LogisticsManaging international logistical operations including outsourcingTraining and Education issues in Logistics and Supply Chain ManagementResearch MethodologiesCase studiesAll published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.
IJLSM addresses the development of logistics resources, emphasising the implications that logistics strategies and systems have on organisational productivity and competitiveness in global and electronic markets. Globalisation of markets and logistics services is closely related to the success of a company. This perspective indicates the importance of effective logistics systems and their management for organisational effectiveness and competitiveness. The journal intends to provide executives and academics with the state of the art of logistics systems and supply chain management.
