Established in 1949, Géotechnique is the world's premier geotechnics journal, publishing the research of the highest quality on all aspects of geotechnical engineering. Géotechnique provides access to rigorously refereed, current, innovative and authoritative research and practical papers, across the fields of soil and rock mechanics, engineering geology and environmental geotechnics.The journal also publishes articles ahead of print to ensure the community receives access to the latest research as soon as it is published. Ahead of print articles are fully citable using the DOI number, and subscribers can view the papers here.In addition, Géotechnique publishes summaries of PhD theses received from institutions around the world, which are free to view.

Health Policy and Technology (HPT), the new official journal of the Fellowship of Postgraduate Medicine (FPM), a cross-disciplinary journal, which will focus on past, present and future health policy and the role of technology in clinical and non-clinical national and international health environments.HPT provides a further excellent way for the FPM to continue to make important national and international contributions to development of policy and practice within medicine and related disciplines. The aim of HPT is to publish relevant, timely and accessible articles and commentaries to support policy-makers, health professionals, health technology providers, patient groups and academia interested in health policy and technology.Topics covered by HPT will include:- Health technology, including drug discovery, diagnostics, medicines, devices, therapeutic delivery and eHealth systems- Cross-national comparisons on health policy using evidence-based approaches- National studies on health policy to determine the outcomes of technology-driven initiatives- Cross-border eHealth including health tourism- The digital divide in mobility, access and affordability of healthcare- Health technology assessment (HTA) methods and tools for evaluating the effectiveness of clinical and non-clinical health technologies- Health and eHealth indicators and benchmarks (measure/metrics) for understanding the adoption and diffusion of health technologies- Health and eHealth models and frameworks to support policy-makers and other stakeholders in decision-making- Stakeholder engagement with health technologies (clinical and patient/citizen buy-in)- Regulation and health economicsProfessor Wendy Currie will lead the journal as its founding Editor-in-Chief. Her research, focus on policy-making for large-scale information and communications technology (ICT) projects in health, financial services and government.About the FPMThe aim of theFellowship of Postgraduate Medicine (FPM) is to promote international calibre excellence in postgraduate medical education through its publications, clinical and scientific meetings, and other activities. The FPM is a British medical charity that was founded at the end of World War I, when it pioneered development of post-graduate educational programs in all branches of medicine.Its foundation was the result of a merger between the Fellowship of Medicine and the Postgraduate Medical Association, with Sir William Osler the first president of the new organization. The FPM is supported by Fellows with expertise in the practice of medicine, medical education and publishing, and research in medicine and related disciplines.

Health and Technology is the first truly cross-disciplinary journal on issues related to health technologies addressing all professions relating to health, care and health technology.The journal constitutes an information platform connecting medical technology and informatics with the needs of care, health care professionals and patients. Thus, medical physicists and biomedical/clinical engineers are encouraged to write articles not only for their colleagues, but directed to all other groups of readers as well, and vice versa.By its nature, the journal presents and discusses hot subjects including but not limited to patient safety, patient empowerment, disease surveillance and management, e-health and issues concerning data security, privacy, reliability and management, data mining and knowledge exchange as well as health prevention. The journal also addresses the medical, financial, social, educational and safety aspects of health technologies as well as health technology assessment and management, including issues such security, efficacy, cost in comparison to the benefit, as well as social, legal and ethical implications.This journal is a communicative source for the health work force (physicians, nurses, medical physicists, clinical engineers, biomedical engineers, hospital engineers, etc.), the ministries of health, hospital management, self-employed doctors, health care providers and regulatory agencies, the medical technology industry, patients' associations, universities (biomedical and clinical engineering, medical physics, medical informatics, biology, medicine and public health as well as health economics programs), research institutes and professional, scientific and technical organizations.Health and Technology is jointly published by Springer and the IUPESM (International Union for Physical and Engineering Sciences in Medicine) in cooperation with the World Health Organization.

Healthcare technology is a rapidly advancing, interdisciplinary field and Healthcare Technology Letters is designed to meet the needs of researchers working in this context by providing a home for reporting on the diverse technologies and approaches being brought to bear on healthcare. Now a fully Open Access journal, Healthcare Technology Letters focuses on the most recent advances within a wide scope of disciplines, encompassing biomedical engineering, and computer and information science for healthcare.
