As catastrophic events, landslides can cause human injury, loss of life and economic devastation, and destroy construction works and cultural and natural heritage. The journal Landslides is the common platform for publication of integrated research on all aspects of landslides. The journal publishes research papers, news of recent landslide events and information on the activities of the International Consortium on Landslides. Coverage includes landslide dynamics, mechanisms and processes; volcanic, urban, marine and reservoir landslides; related tsunamis and seiches; hazard assessment and mapping; modeling, monitoring, GIS techniques; remedial or preventive measures; early warning and evacuation and a global landslide database. Landslides has been accepted at Thompson ISI for coverage in Science Citation Index Expanded, Current Contents/Physical Chemical and Earth Sciences and Current Contents/Engineering Computing and Technology.

Langmuir focuses on the science and engineering of systems and materials in which the interface dominates structure and function. Manuscript submissions on the rational design of interfaces, including new applied and fundamental concepts in emerging areas, are welcome.

The following topics are examples within the scope of Langmuir:

• Polymer interfaces and films
• Adsorption, wetting, adhesion, and dynamics
• Membranes and biofouling
• Surfactants, emulsions, microemulsions, vesicles, suspensions, foams, and gels
• Fundamental theory and computations of interfacial properties
• Droplets and their dynamics
• Active and adaptive colloids and nanoparticles, self-assembly
• Drug delivery, nanomedicine, carriers, targeting, uptake and controlled release
• Advances in surface/interface characterization techniques
• MOFs, COFs, zeolites, and other porous materials
• Sensors and biosensors
• Rheology, mechanics, and non-equilibrium thermodynamics
• Van der Waals materials (1D, 2D, 3D and layered)
• Interfaces for sustainability and energy
• Electrochemistry, heterogeneous catalysis, photocatalysis
• Single molecule, single atom catalysts and particle dynamics under confinement

Reviewers of Langmuir manuscripts will be asked the following questions.

• Does the manuscript report original and significant findings in interface science and engineering?
• Are the claims adequately supported with appropriate data, control experiments, and statistics?
• What are the strengths and weaknesses of the work?

Laser Physics offers a comprehensive view of theoretical and experimental laser research and applications. Articles cover every aspect of modern laser physics and quantum electronics, emphasizing physical effects in various media (solid, gaseous, liquid) leading to the generation of laser radiation; peculiarities of propagation of laser radiation; problems involving impact of laser radiation on various substances and the emerging physical effects, including coherent ones; the applied use of lasers and laser spectroscopy; the processing and storage of information; and more.

Laser and Particle Beams is an international journal which deals with basic physics issues of intense laser and particle beams, and the interaction of these beams with matter. Research on pulse power technology associated with beam generation is also of strong interest. Subjects covered include the physics of high energy densities; non-LTE phenomena; hot dense matter and related atomic, plasma and hydrodynamic physics and astrophysics; intense sources of coherent radiation; high current particle accelerators; beam-wave interaction; and pulsed power technology.

Lasers in Engineering publishes research articles, reviews, short communications and letters on all aspects relating to the applications of lasers in the many different branches of engineering and related disciplines. The journal covers the use of lasers in sensors or measuring and mapping devices, as integral 1 parts of production assemblies, within the fields of biotechnology and bioenginerring, in micro- and nano-fabrication, as well as materials aspects of processes such as welding, cutting, drilling, cladding and surface treatment. The journal presents a balanced account of future developments, fundamental aspects, e.g. solidification or modelling and industrial innovations. Modern technology has a vitally important role to play in meeting the increasingly stringent demands made on material and production systems. The journal provides a readily accessible medium for the rapid reporting of advances in these technologies.

Lasers in Medical Science has established itself as the leading international journal in the rapidly expanding field of medical applications of lasers and light. It provides a forum for the publication of papers on the technical, experimental and clinical aspects of the use of medical lasers, including lasers in surgery, endoscopy, angioplasty, hyperthermia of tumours, and photodynamic therapy.In addition, the journal publishes articles on the medical application of new lasers, light delivery systems, sensors to monitor laser effects, basic laser-tissue interactions and the modelling of laser-tissue interactions. The journal also presents articles relating to the use of non-laser light-tissue interactions.
