Journal Guide

The Journal of Comparative Psychology® publishes original empirical and theoretical research from a comparative perspective on the behavior, cognition, perception, and social relationships of diverse species. The submission of articles containing data on multiple species and multiple tasks is especially encouraged. Studies can be descriptive or experimental and can be conducted in the field or in captivity.Papers in the following areas are especially welcome: * behavior genetics * behavioral rhythms * communication * cognition * behavioral biology of conservation and animal welfare * animal models in robotics * experimental economics * development * endocrine–behavior interactions * evolutionary psychology * methodology * phylogenetic comparisons * orientation and navigation * sensory and perceptual processes * social behavior * social cognition * personality and temperament.

The Journal of Competition Law & Economics is a quarterly journal that publishes peer-reviewed articles on competition law, including developments in the United States, the European Union, and other regions and nations.

The multidisciplinary Journal of Complexity publishes original research papers that contain substantial mathematical results on complexity as broadly conceived. Outstanding review papers will also be published. In the area of computational complexity, the focus is on complexity over the reals, with the emphasis on lower bounds and optimal algorithms. The Journal of Complexity also publishes articles that provide major new algorithms or make important progress on upper bounds. Other models of computation, such as the Turing machine model, are also of interest. Computational complexity results in a wide variety of areas are solicited.Areas Include:• Approximation theory• Biomedical computing• Compressed computing and sensing• Computational finance• Computational number theory• Computational stochastics• Control theory• Cryptography• Design of experiments• Differential equations• Discrete problems• Distributed and parallel computation• High and infinite-dimensional problems• Information-based complexity• Inverse and ill-posed problems• Machine learning• Markov chain Monte Carlo• Monte Carlo and quasi-Monte Carlo• Multivariate integration and approximation• Noisy data• Nonlinear and algebraic equations• Numerical analysis• Operator equations• Optimization• Quantum computing• Scientific computation• Tractability of multivariate problems• Vision and image understandingBenefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

The Journal of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry (JTCC) is an international interdisciplinary journal, aimed at providing comprehensive coverage on the latest developments of research in the ever-expanding area of theoretical and computational chemistry and their applications to broad scientific fields spanning physics, chemistry, biology, materials, and so on.With the proliferation of sub-fields in the application of theoretical chemistry and the explosion of applications in various scientific fields, it is difficult these days for us to keep up with all the new research developments in these cross-disciplinary fields. We hope this journal will serve as a major single source of information on the latest research that can be broadly defined to be in the general area of theoretical and computational chemistry.The journal publishes original contributions on broad aspects: from both the development of fundamental theoretical methodology and computational algorithm to extensive numerical applications to specific scientific problems ranging from gas-phase to condensed phase, and to biological systems. It covers general research areas broadly defined as quantum chemistry, chemical dynamics, statistical mechanics, and chemical biology.
