With more than one quarter of all occupational therapists currently working in educational settings, the absence of a comprehensive resource on research and issues related to school-practice has been a problem for practitioners who don't have ready access to university libraries. The Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention provides a much-needed single source for articles that examine innovative practice methods, strategies for effective decision-making, and the latest evidence-based research findings consistent with current professional policies and guidelines. This unique, peer-reviewed journal focuses on early intervention and schools but also includes other settings (home, clinics, juvenile justice system) to help promote the seamless transition of effective services for children and adolescents.The Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention translates policy into practice with research findings, opinion pieces, and 8220;how-to8221; articles that examine topic areas including early intervention, preschool, elementary, and secondary, as well as general areas including administration, theory, continuing competency, and advocacy. In addition, the journal presents regular features on documentation tips, grants and funding, adaptive equipment, therapy activities, administration and work design, and Internet resources, reviews therapy 8220;tools8221; (books, software, etc.), and keeps you posted on disability updates, as well as policy changes and changes in legislation.The Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention also devotes entire issues to vital topics that require more in-depth examination, including:assistive technology in early intervention and schoolsevidence-based practiceplay and leisurecommunities of practice and collaborationdecision-makingtransitionand more! The Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention is an essential resource for OTs working in early intervention and schools, an invaluable training tool for OT educators and administrators, and a helpful guide for anyone involved in the service design and implementation of programs for children and adolescents with disabilities. Peer Review Policy: All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by two anonymous reviewers.

The Journal of Organizational Computing and Electronic Commerce publishes original research articles concerned with the impacts of computer and communication technology on organizational design, operations, and performance. It serves as a forum for stimulating and disseminating research as to the implications of these technologies for organizational structure and dynamics, the technological advances needed to keep pace with organizational changes, and the emerging technological possibilities for improving organizational performance. The journal's focus is not on computing as it relates to individuals. Theoretical, experimental, and survey research are all appropriate to the Journal of Organizational Computing and Electronic Commerce. The journal's major editorial areas are enterprise systems, computer-supported cooperative work, groupware, computer-aided coordination, supply chain technologies, interorganizational systems, collaborative commerce, e-commerce, economics of organizational computing, technologies for organizational learning, and behavioral aspects of organizational computing. The refereeing of papers in each of these areas is directed by the Editor-in-Chief, a Senior Editor, or an Associate Editor. The journal also publishes relevant book reviews, meeting announcements, brief notes, and software reviews. JOCEC is not a computer science journal.Bibliometric study of the actual publishing behaviors exhibited by tenured IS faculty members at leading public research universities in the U.S. reveals: As a group, these senior scholars have published more articles in JOCEC than in any other information systems journal, with only five exceptions (i.e., it ranks 6th among all of the >>100 journals devoted to IS).Among specialty journals devoted to IS, JOCEC ranks 1st on this same criterion. In addition, a larger percentage of these senior scholars have published in JOCEC than in any other information systems journal, with only five exceptions (i.e., again, it ranks 6th among all of the >>100 journals devoted to IS).Among specialty journals devoted to IS, JOCEC ranks 1st on this same criterion. A follow-up study shows that these results for JOCEC are robust, regardless of whether the actual publishing behaviors are those for leading public or private research universities.

Journal of Plant Interactions aims to represent a common platform for those scientists interested in publishing and reading research articles in the field of plant interactions and will cover most plant interactions with the surrounding environment. Journal of Plant Interactions covers the subject areas of:Plant-Plant InteractionThis area deals with interaction between plants, considering all biochemical, physiological and molecular aspects.Plant-Microorganism InteractionThis area is surely one of the widest and covers three fundamental sub-areas: Plant-Fungi; Plant-Bacteria and Plant-Virus Interactions. Responses to and interactions of plants with micro-organisms are the basics for understanding community dynamics and crop productivity, as well as the key to discovering new resistance genes for pest and disease attacks.Plant-Insect InteractionThe presence of plants after millions of years of herbivore predation is the demonstration that plants have the ability to deter herbivore feeding, but the presence of herbivore after ages of plant toxin biosynthesis is the living evidence that insect herbivores are able to counteract plant poisons. This area deals with all aspects of interaction: from pest attack to plant attraction; from tritrophic interaction to biological control.Plant-Animal InteractionBesides insects, monogastric and polygastric herbivores interact with plants with grazing activity. This area is intended for all studies concerning the effect of grazing on plant population and dynamics.Plant-Environment InteractionThis area is divided into two general sections: 'pen environment'and 'losed environment' The first section covers all aspects of plants'interaction with abiotic stresses present in the natural environments (including atmospheric phenomena, light, temperature, pollution, etc.). The aim of the second section is to collect research reports on artificial environments where plants live (including greenhouses, growth chambers, etc.) both on Earth and in space applications. Remote sensing and biosensing will also be covered under this area.Plant-Soil Interaction (including Plant-Water Interaction)This area deals with nutrition, drought, flooding, restoration, phytoremediation, bioremediation, applied ecology, and all aspects where plants interact with the soil.The Journal will be of significance to all plant biologists, plant physiologists, ecologists, mycologists, microbiologists, agronomists, landscape architects, environmental engineers, entomologists, students and all researchers interested in biological struggle and sustainable use of natural resources.CALL FOR PAPERSAs Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Plant Interactions, Massimo Maffei welcomes submissions from authors. The Journal prefers to publish only those manuscripts that present fundamental advances of wide interest to the plant-interaction biology community. Preference will be given to manuscripts presenting evidence that answers important questions with a high degree of certainty and clarity. Manuscripts that only describe the effect of plant interactions although important and interesting from a phenomenological point of view generally do not meet the standards insisted on by most reviewers without providing a biological meaning and interpretation. Similarly, quality manuscripts that describe a new methodology, but which do not also provide substantial new insight into the biology of plant interactions may not meet reviewers' expectations or the journal's scope. Furthermore, manuscripts that are not accompanied by a sound statistical analysis of data to support results will not be taken into consideration.All submissions will be independently refereed by editorial board members and by external referees chosen on an international basis. All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.Disclaimer for Scientific, Technical and Social Science PublicationsTaylor & Francis make every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the "Content") contained in its publications.
