Journal Guide

The Scandinavian Journal of Psychology (SJoP) is published in association with the Nordic Psychological Associations and is an international journal, available globally and welcoming submissions from around the world. SJoP publishes high quality empirical reports as well as theoretical and methodological papers. We encourage submissions of meta-analyses and reviews and also welcome special issue proposals. Papers on tests or questionnaires are considered only when they contribute to more general theoretical or methodological advancement, not tied to a particular country. A high rejection rate and blind peer review process ensure that the journal's contents are of consistently high quality and SJoP's highly efficient, professional Editorial Office provides a fast turnaround for authors submitting to the journal. Interdisciplinary in nature, SJoP is widely read by professional psychologists, academics and students worldwide. The Scandinavian Journal of Psychology is organised into four sections:

The Scandinavian Journal of Statistics is internationally recognised as one of the leading statistical journals in the world. It was founded in 1974 by four Scandinavian statistical societies. Today more than eighty per cent of the manuscripts are submitted from outside Scandinavia. It is an international journal devoted to reporting significant and innovative original contributions to statistical methodology, both theory and applications. The journal specializes in statistical modelling showing particular appreciation of the underlying substantive research problems. The emergence of specialized methods for analysing longitudinal and spatial data is just one example of an area of important methodological development in which the Scandinavian Journal of Statistics has a particular niche.

Scandinavian Political Studies is the only English language political science journal from Scandinavia. The journal publishes widely on policy and electoral issues affecting the Scandinavian countries, and sets those issues in European and global context. Highly ranked by the ISI, Scandinavian Political Studies is an indispensable source for all those researching and teaching in Scandinavian political science, public policy and electoral analysis.

SCANNING, the Journal of Scanning Microscopies, provides an international and interdisciplinary medium for the rapid exchange of information among all scientists interested in scanning electron, scanning probe, and scanning optical microscopies. Areas of specific interest include all aspects of the instrumentation associated with scanning microscopies; correlative microscopy techniques; stereometry; stereology; analytic techniques and novel applications of the microscopies.

Schizophrenia Research and Treatment is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes original research articles, review articles, and clinical studies related to all aspects of schizophrenia.

Science Education publishes original articles on the latest issues and trends occurring internationally in science curriculum, instruction, learning, policy and preparation of science teachers with the aim to advance our knowledge of science education theory and practice.

Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations is an international scientific journal that aims to make available knowledge on issues related to the nuclear industry and to promote development in the area of nuclear sciences and technologies. The endeavour associated with the establishment and the growth of the journal is expected to lend support to the renaissance of nuclear technology in the world and especially in those countries where nuclear programs have not yet been developed.The Journal is addressed to designers of nuclear reactor and utilities, regulatory bodies, as well as to researchers in government and academic institutions.The Journal seeks to cover industrial applications of nuclear technology and related disciplines, i.e. from mining to waste and incineration, embracing the design, operation and decommissioning of power plants, research reactors and special purpose reactors including sub-critical facilities, as well as the industrial use of radioisotopes. Papers are expected to focus on key aspects of industrial applications, including quality assurance, liability, safeguards, international cooperation, as well as training and management issues. Results of experiments that are relevant for nuclear reactor safety and design are also of interest. Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations publishes original scientific and technical papers in areas such as:Mining and milling of uranium;Fuel cycle management and related industrial installations;Fuel performance;Design and construction of nuclear power plants and research reactors;Control and operation of nuclear power plants and research reactors;Safety and licensing issues for nuclear power plants and research reactors;Transport of radioactive material;Waste and repository design and management;Radioprotection;Decommissioning of nuclear installations;Instrumentation in nuclear installations;Conventional aspects related to nuclear installations;Innovative nuclear technologies;Innovative computational and numerical methods.The Editorial Board will evaluate and classify the submitted manuscripts according to their originality and scientific and ethical content.

Scientific Programming provides a meeting ground for research results in, and practical experience with, software engineering environments, tools, languages, and models of computation aimed specifically at supporting scientific and engineering computing. Scientific Programming brings together in one place developments that are found in a wide variety of journals, conference proceedings and informal society journals. Scientific Programming publishes papers on language, compiler and programming environment issues for scientific computing. Of particular interest are contributions to programming and software engineering for grid computing, high performance computing, processing very large data sets, supercomputing, visualization and parallel computing. All languages used in scientific programming as well as scientific programming libraries are within the scope of the journal.
