Galaxies (ISSN 2075-4434) is an international, peer-reviewed open access journal which provides an advanced forum for studies related to astronomy, astrophysics, and cosmology. It publishes reviews, research articles, communications and technical notes. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their astronomical observations and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. Full experimental and methodological details, as applicable, must be provided. In addition, especially welcomed are: manuscripts regarding original research proposals and research ideas electronic files or software containing full details of the calculations and experimental procedure; if unable to be published in a normal way they can be deposited as supplementary material manuscripts containing summaries and surveys on research cooperation and actual and future projects (as those founded by national governments or others) are likewise appreciated, as they provide interesting information for a broad field of users.

General Relativity and Gravitation is a journal devoted to all aspects of modern gravitational science, and published under the auspices of the International Society on General Relativity and Gravitation.The journal publishes research letters and papers, invited review articles on all theoretical and experimental aspects of modern general relativity and gravitation, as well as book reviews and historical articles of special interest. In particular it welcomes original articles on the following topics of current research:1. Analytical general relativity, including its interface with geometrical analysis.2. All aspects of numerical relativity3. Theoretical and observational cosmology4. Relativistic astrophysics5. Gravitational waves: data analysis, astrophysical sources and detector science6. Extensions of general relativity7. Supergravity8. Gravitational aspects of string theory and its extensions9. Quantum gravity: canonical approaches, in particular loop quantum gravity.10. Quantum Gravity: path integral

2009 Impact Factor: 1.604 (169; 2010 Thomson Reuters, Journal Citation Reports174;)Geophysical and Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics exists for the publication of original research papers and short communications, occasional survey articles and conference reports on the fluid mechanics of the earth and planets, including oceans, atmospheres and interiors, and the fluid mechanics of the sun, stars and other astrophysical objects.In addition, their magnetohydrodynamic behaviours are investigated. Experimental, theoretical and numerical studies of rotating, stratified and convecting fluids of general interest to geophysicists and astrophysicists appear. Properly interpreted observational results are also published.All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by independent and expert referees.Taylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.

Glass Physics and Chemistry (Fizika i Khimiya Stekla) is published bimonthly by the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Silicate Chemistry. Established in 1975, this journal presents results of structural, physical, and chemical properties in inorganic materials (glasses, ceramics, nanoparticles, nanocomposites, high temperature oxides and coatings) and phase equilibrium in inorganic system by Russian and foreign authors. Now published concurrently in English translation, the journal widens its availability to a worldwide community of glass scientists.

Although many phenomena observed in granular materials are still not yet fully understood, important contributions have been made to further our understanding using modern tools from statistical mechanics. These tools apply to disordered systems, phase transitions, instabilities or intermittent behavior and the performance of discrete particle simulations on the latest and most powerful computers. Until now, however, many of these results were only to be found scattered throughout the physics literature. Furthermore, physicists are often unaware of the theories and results published by engineers in more specialized technical journals. The journal Granular Matter thus serves as a platform of communication among researchers of various disciplines who are involved in the basic research of granular media. It helps to establish a common language and gather articles under one single roof that up to now have been spread over many journals in a variety of fields.

Gravitation and Cosmology is a peer-reviewed periodical, dealing with the full range of topics of gravitational physics and relativistic cosmology and published under the auspices of the Russian Gravitation Society and Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia. The journal publishes research papers, review articles and brief communications on the following fields: theoretical (classical and quantum) gravitation; relativistic astrophysics and cosmology, exact solutions and modern mathematical methods in gravitation and cosmology, including Lie groups, geometry and topology; unification theories including gravitation; fundamental physical constants and their possible variations; fundamental gravity experiments on Earth and in space; related topics. It also publishes selected old papers which have not lost their topicality but were previously published only in Russian and were not available to the worldwide research community.

Green Chemistry provides a unique forum for the publication of innovative research on the development of alternative green and sustainable technologies. Based on the, but not limited to, the twelve principles of green chemistry defined by Anastas and Warner (Green Chemistry: Theory and Practice, P T Anastas and J C Warner, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1998). Green chemistry is, by definition, a continuously-evolving frontier. Therefore, the inclusion of a particular material or technology does not, of itself, guarantee that a paper is suitable for the journal. To be suitable, the novel advance should have the potential for reduced environmental impact relative to the state of the art. Green Chemistry does not normally deal with research associated with 'end-of-pipe' or remediation issues.
