An overview of Journal of Land Use Science by the Editor, Richard AspinallThe study of the nature of land use and land cover, their changes over space and time, and the processes that produce these patterns and changes can be termed 'land use science'. Land use science is necessarily an interdisciplinary science since land uses are influenced by, and influence, environmental, ecological, social and economic systems through a complex series of natural and socio-economic processes, including management and decision making.Land use science, therefore, adopts an integrated approach that couples natural and human systems and fosters interdisciplinary collaboration between social, economic, behavioural, environmental, ecological, biological and atmospheric scientists. Land use scientists must also draw on a broad range of interdisciplinary scientific methodologies and enabling technologies.Potential areas for submission would include - the dynamics of change the integration and feedbacks between land use, climate, socio-economic, and ecological systems the resilience, vulnerability, adaptability and sustainability of land use systems the linkages of natural and human systems relationships between land use and land cover spatial and temporal scale issues accuracy issues evolving public and private land management questions and decisions new data and information and improved scientific bases for decision-making related to land use interpretation and communication of scientific knowledge for adaptive management of land use systems human responses to land use change explicit management of uncertainties and definition of the limits to applicability of land use change projections and other analyses, particularly as translated into decision support and participatory approaches Readership The Journal of Land Use Science will be of interest to those in a broad suite of disciplines including agricultural science, animal science, anthropology, decision science, ecology, economics, environmental science, forestry, geography, GIS, landscape ecology, planning, regional science, remote sensing, and sustainability science. ---Disclaimer for Scientific, Technical and Social Science PublicationsTaylor & Francis make every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.

Journal of Natural History is included in the Special Libraries Association (SLA) 100 most influential journals in biology and medicine over the past 100 years, voted by members of the BioMedical & Life Sciences Division. Journal of Natural History is an international journal publishing original research and reviews in evolutionary and general biology, and on the interaction of organisms with their environment. While maintaining a tradition of featuring classical taxonomic work in entomology and zoology and thereby providing a scientific basis for the application of systematics in biological control, agriculture, aquaculture, and medical and veterinary zoology, the journal also publishes papers on cladistics, experimental taxonomy, parasitology, ecology and behaviour. Papers which simply describe a single new species are not normally acceptable without additional justification. Readership Systematists, behaviorists, ecologists, entomologists, parasitologists, agriculturalists, aquaculturalists, marine biologists, evolutionary biologists, geneticists, conservationists, environmental scientists. --- Disclaimer for Scientific, Technical and Social Science Publications Taylor & Francis make every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 'Content') contained in its publications.

Journal of Natural Resources Policy Research publishes original policy-oriented papers addressing a broad range of natural resource fields including water, minerals, energy, fisheries, and forestry in a synthesizing fashion, rather than as stand-alone specialty areas. It will also publish papers on the natural resource implications of climate change, natural disasters, and biodiversity loss, among others. The papers, ideally, will be based on both conceptual and empirical studies and will be primarily policy-focused. Our goal is to foster productive dialog among the disparate sectors in the broad field of natural resources and among various social science perspectives leading to an improved understanding of institutional and economic dynamics and informed policy making.This is a largely social-sciences-focused journal including such fields as economics, sociology, geography, political science, anthropology, public administration, ethics and other disciplines relevant to the crafting of efficient, equitable and sustainable natural resources policies. Also, disciplines that may be conventionally outside the social sciences field, such as planning, management and law, which have relevance to natural resources policy formulation, will be included. Natural and physical scientists writing for a social science audience are also welcome contributors. To the extent possible, we will try to make the journal cross-disciplinary and transnational in scope.We are inviting original papers in policy analysis, policy modeling, policy surveys and synthesis, institutional analysis, conceptual/theoretical papers, case studies and case histories from academic and non-academic experts in the natural resources and environmental field.All articles published in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.Thoughts on Journal of Natural Resources Policy Research:"What a wonderful idea for a policy journal addressing natural resources...I wish you success in launching the Journal."- Joanne Linnerooth-Bayer, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), Austria"I share your belief that there is a need for a policy-focused interdisciplinary journal that cuts across natural resource management/problem domains. This is an exciting project likely to be of wide interest."- Steven A. Wolf, Cornell University, New York, USA"The approach you have defined for the journal is badly needed in the field."- Harry N. Scheiber, UC Berkeley, California, USAReadershipThe target audience consists of academics, researchers, planners, policy analysts, and decision-makers in the natural resources and allied fields at local, national and international levels. Other relevant groups include international agencies, environmental organizations, NGO groups and other stakeholder groups involved in natural resource policy making.---Disclaimer for Scientific, Technical and Social Science PublicationsTaylor & Francis make every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the "Content") contained in its publications.

The Journal of Personality Assessment (JPA) primarily publishes articles dealing with the development, evaluation, refinement, and application of personality assessment methods. Desirable articles address empirical, theoretical, instructional, or professional aspects of using psychological tests, interview data, or the applied clinical assessment process. They also advance the measurement, description, or understanding of personality, psychopathology, and human behavior. JPA is broadly concerned with developing and using personality assessment methods in clinical, counseling, forensic, and health psychology settings; with the assessment process in applied clinical practice; with the assessment of people of all ages and cultures; and with both normal and abnormal personality functioning. Manuscripts focused on personality constructs or processes rather than their assessment ordinarily should be submitted elsewhere. We encourage articles addressing under-studied areas. These include (a) systematic reviews or meta-analyses that summarize a body of evidence, (b) the effective integration of nomothetic empirical findings with the idiographic requirements of practice in which the assessor reasons through test and extra-test information to make individualized judgments and provide assessment feedback, and (c) the practical value of the clinical assessment process on the individuals receiving services and/or those who refer them for evaluation. Peer Review Policy: Unless noted otherwise, all articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous review by two referees.
