The Proceedings of the Geologists' Association is an international geoscience journal that was founded in 1859 and publishes research and review papers on all aspects of Earth Science. In particular, papers will focus on the geology of northwestern Europe and the Mediterranean, including both the onshore and offshore record. Following a long tradition, the PGA will focus on: i) a range of article types (see below) on topics of wide relevance to Earth Sciences ii) papers on aspects of Earth Science that have societal relevance including geoconservation and Earth management, iii) papers on palaeoenvironments and palaeontology of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic, iv) papers on aspects of Quaternary geology and climate change, and v) papers on the history of geology with particular reference to individuals that have shaped the subject. These topics will also steer the content of the themes of the Special Issues that are published in the PGA.Papers published in the PGA will take the form of Research papers and Review papers. In addition it will publish Viewpoints, which are aimed to provide authoritative views from Earth Scientists on topics of debate within our subject, Topical or Teaching Perspectives on subjects of current, or potentially future importance and are not necessarily research papers but are written in a manner that makes them particularly accessible to the general public and students, and Contexts, which are short papers giving the wider scientific context of a paper that is published in the same issue. Submissions of all these types of papers, within the scope and aims of the journal, are welcome. Rapid Communications are no longer appropriate as all papers are published rapidly, being available on Science Direct with a doi, as soon as the proof has been corrected.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Proceedings of the IEEE is the leading journal to provide in-depth review, survey, and tutorial coverage of the technical developments in electronics, electrical and computer engineering, and computer science. Consistently ranked as one of the top journals by Impact Factor, Article Influence Score and more, the journal serves as a trusted resource for engineers around the world.

The Proceedings publishes approximately ten Special Issues and two regular paper issues per year.

• Special Issues are led by distinguished Guest Editor teams and contain articles, typically surveys, reviews or tutorials, from leading experts in the technology area being covered. They serve as a guide to the state-of-the-art and are highly valued by the core research community, as well as specialists in other areas, looking to quickly come up to speed on the latest and more promising advances in areas outside of their own expertise.
• Regular Issues consist of three to four papers on more focused topics, giving readers background and insight into emerging areas.

Papers published in the Proceedings are usually reviews, surveys, or tutorials.

• Reviews critically examine a technology, tracing its progress from its inception to the present—and perhaps into the future.
• Surveys comprehensively view a technology—its applications, issues, ramifications, and potential.
• Tutorial papers explain a technology and may give practical information for implementing it. These papers are written for the purpose of informing non-specialist engineers about a particular technology.

Significant changes are occurring in the field of power and energy, from the new types of plant being introduced in the developed world to the growth in electricity demand in the developing nations. Environmental legislation is affecting the use of fossil fuels and encouraging renewable energy developments. Safety, waste disposal and new plant financing continue to be concerns for nuclear power, while the increased availability of natural gas is being exploited in combined cycles and cogeneration. Against this changing scene, scientific discovery, increased computer power and new material developments are producing cost savings and plant performance improvements.The Journal of Power and Energy covers all aspects of energy conversion systems, including power generation, transmission and use. In addition to technical developments, interests include environmental, economic and policy issues. The scope extends to include:Power and Energy Systems Power generation using innovative and conventional sources including fossil, nuclear, and renewable systems. Energy storage, regenerative and fuel cell systems. Advanced and innovative cycles. Energy systems including energy management in buildings, air conditioning, refrigeration, heat pipes.Issues Emissions reduction, environmental policy, carbon mitigation including both efficiency improvements and CO2 capture and storage, fuel flexibility, hydrogen economy, waste management, power plant health and safety. Decommissioning, disposal and storage of nuclear plant and material. Changes in infrastructure, transmission and distribution. Demand reduction -advanced control, hybrid photovoltaic and ventilation.Components Typically boilers, gas, steam and wind turbines, compressor, combustion and turbine systems, I.C. engines (non-automotive), heat exchangers and cooling systems, heat recovery steam generators, pumps and fans.Techniques and methods The journal covers thermo-economic optimisation, health monitoring, life cycle analysis, operation and maintenance, and energy systems instrumentation, simulation and management. We also publish papers on fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, including CFD, heat transfer and combustion if they are clearly related to power systems or their components.

The Journal of Engineering Manufacture provides a focus for developments in engineering manufacture, covering technological and scientific research, developments and management implementation in manufacturing.'My priority as Editor is to ensure that the Journal of Engineering Manufacture remains at the forefront of international efforts to disseminate scientific advances and new knowledge arising from high quality manufacturing engineering research.We welcome papers in any aspect of engineering manufacture from manufacturing and assembly processes, to production machines and manufacturing systems. From time to time we also publish special issues on particular topics, either new emerging technologies or very sharply focused aspects of current manufacturing research.'.

The Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science advances the understanding of both the fundamentals of engineering science and its application to the solution of challenges and problems in engineering.'The Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science is dedicated to the publication of high quality papers on all aspects of mechanical engineering science. It represents one of the oldest parts of the Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, the first issue being published under the guidance of a distinguished Editorial Board in June 1959.The international Editorial Board ensures that significant developments in mechanical engineering science from around the world are reflected in the Journal.'.

The Journal of Automobile Engineering is the leading international journal serving the multidisciplinary automotive industry. Contributions are welcome on all aspects of vehicle engineering, including components, and on other closely related subjects."The automotive industry is fast moving and global. The Journal of Automobile Engineering is an established, high quality multi-disciplinary journal which publishes the very best science and engineering in the field. If you are working in automotive engineering, we hope you will consider publishing your papers in the Journal."Professor Colin Garner - Loughborough University, UK.

The Journal of Process Mechanical Engineering publishes high-quality papers covering a broad area of mechanical engineering activities associated with the design and operation of process equipment."The process industries are fundamental to providing society with its basic needs in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner. Be it refined oil products, foods, personal products, or powders - all are produced in vast quantities using specialised equipment. It is this equipment, its design, operation, and maintenance, that sits with the scope of the Journal of Process Mechanical Engineering, Part E of the Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.We welcome papers from any source covering a broad area of mechanical engineering activities associated with the design and operation of process equipment, and I can confirm that at all stages in the consideration of your paper we will endeavour to act as speedily as possible whilst maintaining academic rigour.".
