Journal Guide

The first academic journal for serious investigators of teleoperators and virtual environments, Presence is filled with stimulating material applicable to these advanced electromechanical and computer devices.Incorporating perspectives from physics to philosophy, Presence appeals to a wide audience - particularly mechanical and electrical engineers concerned with teleoperators; those interested in virtual environments, including computer scientists, high-tech artists, and media people; and psychologists involved in the study of human-machine interfaces and sensorimotor/cognitive behavior.

The Pacific Economic Review (PER) publishes high-quality articles in all areas of economics, both the theoretical and empirical, and welcomes in particular analyses of economic issues in the Asia-Pacific area. Published five times a year from 2007, the journal is of interest to academic, government and corporate economists. The Pacific Economic Review is the official publication of the Hong Kong Economic Association and has a strong editorial team and international board of editors. The October issue, edited and published with sponsorship from National Taiwan University, focuses on economic policies, particularly those related to the Taiwanese economy, the Chinese economy, and cross-strait relations. Both theoretical and empirical research papers are welcome. The December issue, edited by the Center for Advanced Policy Studies at the Institute of Economic Research at Kyoto University, welcomes all areas of economics with a special focus on economic issues and policies relating to the Asia-Pacific region. All issues of the PER maintain the same high standards of quality. The Pacific Economic Review is a double-blind refereed journal.

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology (PACE) is the foremost peer-reviewed journal in the field of pacing and implantable cardioversion defibrillation, publishing over 50% of all English language articles in its field, featuring original, review, and didactic papers, and case reports related to daily practice. Articles also include editorials, book reviews, Musings on humane topics relevant to medical practice, electrophysiology (EP) rounds, device rounds, and information concerning the quality of devices used in the practice of the specialty.

Packaging Technology & Science provides an international forum for the publication of research papers and review articles about developments in this field. As such, it is aimed at packaging engineers and technologists, food scientists and technologists, polymer scientists, toxicologists, analytical chemists, environmental scientists, materials scientists, regulatory officers, and other professionals who are concerned with the development and applications of packaging, as well as its effects.

Particulate Science and Technology addresses all aspects of science and engineering related to particles and particle systems from millimeter to nanometer sizes. Topics include particle formation and production, particle and particle system characterization, fluidized beds, multiphase flows, storage, flow, conveying, handling, electrography, image processing, pattern recognition, mixing, segregation, separation, agglomeration, compaction, powder coating and electrosprays, microencapsulation, explosion and fire hazards, aerosols, pollution control, industrial hygiene, contamination control, lung deposition, agricultural and food powders, ceramics, chemicals, minerals, pharmaceuticals, and powdered metals.

Particuology, an international bimonthly journal, is jointly sponsored by the Chinese Society of Particuology and the Institute of Process Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and is published by Elsevier B. V. and Science Press.The word Particuology was coined to parallel the technical terminology for the science and technology of particles by combining the Latin prefix particula for particles and the Greek suffix logia denoting subject of study. Particuology is built upon all related branches of the physical sciences (especially physics and chemistry) and mathematics, and connects their fundamental laws to engineering particle systems, spanning a wide range of chemical, petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries, functional materials, and human activities dealing with energy and the environment.This Journal purports to present the best papers in research, engineering and application in the overall field of Particuology, ranging from the molecular level to the system level, including:Particle characterization and measurement;Particle preparation, synthesis and modification;Granular system and bulk solids technology;Fluidization and particle-fluid system;Aerosol;Applications of particle technology.The editors particularly welcome contributions on newly emerging topics that fall within the broad scope of Particuology.

Pattern Recognition is the official journal of the Pattern Recognition Society. The Society was formed to fill a need for information exchange among research workers in the pattern recognition field. Up to now, we ''pattern-recognitionophiles'' have been tagging along in computer science, information theory, optical processing techniques, and other miscellaneous fields. Because this work in pattern recognition presently appears in widely spread articles and as isolated lectures in conferences in many diverse areas, the purpose of the journal Pattern Recognition is to give all of us an opportunity to get together in one place to publish our work. The journal will thereby expedite communication among research scientists interested in pattern recognition.We consider pattern recognition in the broad sense, and we assume that the journal will be read by people with a common interest in pattern recognition but from many diverse backgrounds. These include biometrics, target recognition, biological taxonomy, meteorology, space science, classification methods, character recognition, image processing, industrial applications, neural computing, and many others.The publication policy is to publish (1) new original articles that have been appropriately reviewed by competent scientific people, (2) reviews of developments in the field, and (3) pedagogical papers covering specific areas of interest in pattern recognition. Various special issues will be organized from time to time on current topics of interest to Pattern Recognition.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Peace Review is a quarterly, multidisciplinary, transnational journal of research and analysis, focusing on the current issues and controversies that underlie the promotion of a more peaceful world. Social progress requires, among other things, sustained intellectual work, which should be pragmatic as well as analytical. The results of that work should be ingrained into everyday culture and political discourse. We define peace research very broadly to include peace, human rights, development, ecology, culture and related issues. The task of the journal is to present the results of this research and thinking in short, accessible and substantive essays. Each issue develops a particular theme, however, we run both on-theme and off-theme essays.Project Censored Award Winner 2000For the year 2000, Peace Review was awarded Project Censored's Top 25 Most Censored Stories for not merely one, but two of its essays. Both articles were rated in the Top 14 Stories, both of which appeared in the June 1999 issue:Ramsay Liem, "Famine in North Korea" and Yuh Ji-Yeon, "Dangerous Communists, Inscrutable Orientals, Starving Masses"Project Censored is a US media group, which for more than 20 years has been trying to highlight important national and international news stories that have either been ignored or intentionally marginalized in the mainstream media.For more information on Project Censored visit their website: www.projectcensored.org.Peer Review Policy:All review papers in this journal have undergone editorial screening and peer review.
