Community, work and family are interconnected and central to everybody's life. The links between community, work and family have generated widespread interdisciplinary interest, which this journal draws together with a focus on theory, research, policy and practice. The Journal provides a forum for social scientists and practitioners to share experiences and ideas and debate current issues and controversies.The aims of Community, Work & Family are:to publish theoretical, research-based, policy and practical contributions in the growing area of community, work and family and their interfaceto provide an international forum for debate in the field and reflect the range of approaches to community, work and family in different contexts, by encouraging contributions from academics and practitioners from around the worldto foster the development of theory, research, policy and practiceto highlight the experiences of those members of communities, organisations and families whose voices are seldom heardto encourage critical examination of existing frameworks and practices to promote research which employs methods with the potential to lead to social action The Distinctive Nature of the JournalRecognises the contested nature of community, work and familyHighlights the perspectives of multiple stakeholders in communities, work organisations and familiesExplores dimensions of social and organisational changeIncludes voices which are often not heard and are 8216;hidden'Emphases research and practiceTargets academics and professionals and is interdisciplinary within the social sciencesReports research using diverse methods and with implications for policy and practiceEncourages new ways of thinking about diversity and equalityPromotes international debate and collaborationLegitimises reflexivity in research in practice Peer Review Policy:All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by two anonymous referees DisclaimerTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.

The aim of Computers in Industry is to publish original, high-quality, application-oriented research papers that:• Show new trends in and options for the use of Information and Communication Technology in industry;• Link or integrate different technology fields in the broad area of computer applications for industry;• Link or integrate different application areas of ICT in industry.General topics covered include the following areas:• The unique application of ICT in business processes such as design, engineering, manufacturing, purchasing, physical distribution, production management and supply chain management. This is the main thrust of the journal. It includes research in integration of business process support, such as in enterprise modelling, ERP, EDM.• The industrial use of ICT in knowledge intensive fields such as quality control, logistics, engineering data management, and product documentation will certainly be considered.• Demonstration of enabling capabilities of new or existing technologies such as hard real time systems, knowledge engineering, applied fuzzy logic, collaborative work systems, and intelligence agents are also welcomed.• Papers solely focusing on ICT or manufacturing processes may be considered out of scope.A continuous quality policy, based on strict peer reviewing shall ensure that published articles are:- Technologically outstanding and front-end- Application-oriented with a generalised message- Representative for research at an international levelBenefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

The European Journal of Soil Biology covers all aspects of soil biology which deal with microbial and faunal ecology and activity in soils, as well as natural ecosystems or biomes connected to ecological interests: biodiversity, biological conservation, adaptation, impact of global changes on soil biodiversity and ecosystem functioning and effects and fate of pollutants as influenced by soil organisms. Different levels in ecosystem structure are taken into account: individuals, populations, communities and ecosystems themselves. At each level, different disciplinary approaches are welcomed: molecular biology, genetics, ecophysiology, ecology, biogeography and landscape ecology.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

IJMMNO addresses mathematical modelling, algorithm development, numerical methods, computer simulations and numerical optimisation as well as applications and case studies. It focuses on multidisciplinary and cross-disciplinary research to communicate new algorithms and techniques in mathematical modelling and numerical optimisation and promote real-world applications in all major areas of sciences, engineering and industry. IJMMNO publishes full-length original research papers, with a section dedicated to short research notes and concise case studies using modelling, simulation and optimisation.

Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology represents an established forum for the entire field of obstetrics and gynaecology, publishing a broad range of original, peer-reviewed papers, from scientific and clinical research to reviews relevant to practice and case reports. It also includes occasional supplements on clinical symposia. The journal is read widely by trainees in our speciality and we acknowledge a major role in education in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Past and present editors have recognised the difficulties that junior doctors encounter in achieving their first publications and spend time advising authors during their initial attempts at submission. The journal continues to attract a world-wide readership thanks to the emphasis on practical applicability and its excellent record of drawing on an international base of authors.
