Journal Guide

Official Journal of the European Society of Pathology 'Virchows Archiv' is a medium for the publication of fundamental morphological research on disease in the widest sense and on human pathology in particular. Articles concerned with surgical pathology, experimental morphology, ultrastructural research, immunocytochemical analysis, and molecular biology are published, provided they illuminate some facet of human pathology. Consideration will be given to reports of work in other fields relevant to the understanding of human pathology. Papers on the application of new methods and techniques in pathology are also published

Virology Journal is ready to receive manuscripts on all aspects of virology research. 

The aim of the journal is to disseminate research and provoke discussion in the area of Virtual Reality. The multidisciplinary nature of the field means that submissions will be welcomed on a wide range of topics including, but not limited to, the following: Virtual Reality Technology and Software Systems Design of VR systems and VEs Human Factors Virtual Reality Applications Assessment of Virtual Reality Systems Philosophical and Ethical Issues Advances Relevant to Virtual Reality The journal also welcomes research contributions on specific application areas including, but not limited to, the following: Business and Commerce Defence and Military Education and Training Entertainment and Gaming Fashion, Heritage Medicine Telecommunications Visualisation Since readers may be unfamiliar with the technical detail of the specific topic being discussed, emphasis will be placed on clear, well-written, and accessible articles which will appeal to a multidisciplinary audience. The journal's audience includes

The aim of International Journal of Visualization in Engineering, a fully open access journal published under the brand SpringerOpen, is to disseminate original and high quality research results on the visualization paradigms, models, technologies, and applications that have significant contributions to the advancement of all aspects of design and engineering. The proposed journal is devoted to scholarly research on improving all aspects of design and engineering (including civil, mechanical, manufacturing, industrial, aerospace, etc.) through the applications of visualization technologies. The journal is particularly interested in research that adds to the scientific understanding of the impacts that visualization technologies can have on the stages along the entire life cycle of a particular industry, for example, planning, design, construction, maintenance, and operations of constructed facilities.
The proposed journal provides, for the first time, an international and interdisciplinary platform and forum for researchers to present their findings, latest developments, and perspectives on future trends in visualization in design and engineering, covering relevant advances in the areas of computing, management, human factors, education, and social sciences.

Vocations and Learning: Studies in Vocational and Professional Education provides an international forum for papers on the broad field of vocational learning, across a range of settings: vocational colleges, schools, universities, workplaces, domestic environments, voluntary bodies, and more. Coverage includes such topics as curriculum and pedagogy practices for vocational learning; the role and nature of knowledge in vocational learning; the relationship between context and learning in vocational settings; analyses of instructional practice and policy in vocational learning and education; studies of teaching and learning in vocational education; and the relationships between vocational learning and economic imperatives, and the practices and policies of national and trans-national agencies. This peer-reviewed journal aims to enhance the contribution of research and scholarship to vocational education policy and practice, and also to inspire new research in this diverse field.

Waste & Biomass Valorization is devoted to the growing field of valorization of waste and biomass to energy, fuels and other useful materials, with emphasis on processes and practices that reduce emissions and life cycle assessment of technologies and materials. Research on the characterization of fuels and materials produced as well as those on the development of characterization techniques will be also welcomed. Topic areas to be covered by the journal include, but are not limited to: Valorization of waste and biomass municipal, wastewater industrial, electronic, wood and paper, sludge, agricultural, forest, construction and demolition, mining Valorization of energy and fuels ethanol, hydrogen, biogas, biofuel, refuse-derived Fuel/Oil (RD, RDO), thermal processes products Valorization of materials raw materials, secondary materials, recycled materials Key issues will be cutting-edge research on life cycle and risk assessment, health and safety impact assessment, decision-making, legislation and education. High quality research articles, reviews, case studies (both pilot-plant and full-scale) will be accepted for review. The Journal will promote interdisciplinarity and bridging of various fields of engineering science including Environmental, Chemical, Civil Engineering, and Management Science. The Journal will also be of interest to n, on-academic groups such as industry, local and national government interested in the beneficial use and reuse of residues, biomass and waste.
