Journal Guide

Advances in Difference Equations is a peer-reviewed open access journal published under the brand SpringerOpen. The theory of difference equations, the methods used, and their wide applications have advanced beyond their adolescent stage to occupy a central position in applicable analysis. In fact, in the last 12 years, the proliferation of the subject has been witnessed by hundreds of research articles, several monographs, many international conferences, and numerous special sessions.The theory of differential and difference equations forms two extreme representations of real world problems. For example, a simple population model when represented as a differential equation shows the good behavior of solutions whereas the corresponding discrete analogue shows the chaotic behavior. The actual behavior of the population is somewhere in between. Articles published in Advances in Difference Equations will include such situations.The aim of Advances in Difference Equations is to report new developments in the field of difference equations, and their applications in all fields. Advances in Difference Equations will accept high-quality articles containing original research results and survey articles of exceptional merit.

Advances in Eating Disorders: Theory, Research, & Practice is committed to providing a leading forum dedicated to the study and treatment of eating disorders by publishing high quality articles that offer an integrated perspective to these complex conditions. 
The journal covers all the traditional eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder, but also any form of disturbed eating behaviour, across the life span and in all cultural contexts. The specific and unique emphasis of this journal is its focus on combining theory, research and practice. Submissions should draw on at least two of these aspects, but preferably make reference to all three, either through their primary focus, or through the inclusion of a section specifically focusing on the integration. 
The Editors also encourage submission of commentary, debate and personal viewpoints.
