The Journal of Cross-Cultural Gerontology is an international and interdisciplinary journal providing a forum for scholarly discussion of the aging process and the problems of the aged throughout the world. The journal emphasizes discussions of research findings, theoretical issues and applied approaches that deal with non-Western populations, as well as articles that provide a comparative orientation to the study of the aging process in its social, economic, historical and biological perspectives.

The core of the journal comprises a broad range of articles dealing with non-Western societies, written from the perspectives of history, anthropology, sociology, political science, psychology, population studies, health/biology, etc. A second category of papers includes articles from Western societies comparing sub-cultural groupings or ethnic minorities such as Vietnamese, Turks, etc. Comparative studies of topics related to aging comprise the third group of articles. Such comparative analyses have been on Western and non-Western societies as well as on comparisons of Western societies, such as socialist vs. capitalist systems, for instance, or societies with different social service delivery systems. With societies becoming ever more multicultural and with many societies experiencing a `graying' of their population on a hitherto unprecedented scale, the Journal of Cross-Cultural Gerontology stands at the forefront of one of the most pressing issues of our times.

The Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology (JCC) is a leading interdisciplinary forum for psychologists, sociologists and educators who study how cultural differences in developmental, social and educational experiences affect individual behavior. (JCCP) focuses on today's important cross-cultural issues, including individualism, self-enhancement, acculturation, changing family values, ethnic group comparisons, gender differences, and personality.

Allen Press. Inc. plays a vital role in the dissemination of knowledge and information by partnering with specialty organizations to promote their interests and to achieve their goals.

The Journal of Cryptographic Engineering is an archival journal publishing high-quality scientific articles presenting methods, techniques, tools, implementations, and applications of research in cryptographic engineering, including cryptographic hardware, cryptographic embedded systems, and embedded security. JCEN aims to serve the academic and corporate R&D community interested in cryptographic hardware and embedded security by offering a focused journal drawing together archival papers that are presently scattered across various journals. The Journal of Cryptographic Engineering will cover the research areas summarized below. Cryptographic Hardware: Hardware architectures for public-key cryptography and secret-key cryptography: special-purpose hardware for cryptanalysis: cryptographic processors and co-processors: hardware accelerators for security protocols (security processors, network processors, etc.): true and pseudorandom number generators: Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs). Cryptographic Software for Embedded Systems: Efficient software implementations of cryptography for embedded processors: efficient and secure implementations of cryptography using multiprocessor cores: cryptographic libraries: cryptographic algorithms targeting embedded devices. Attacks Against Implementations and Countermeasures Against These Attacks: Side channel attacks and countermeasures: faults and fault models for cryptographic devices: fault attacks and countermeasures: hardware tamper resistance: Trojan hardware. Tools and Methodologies: Computer aided cryptographic engineering: methodologies and environments for fair comparison of hardware and software efficiency of cryptographic algorithms, architectures, and implementations: partial and run-time reconfiguration of cryptographic systems: reliability and fault, tolerance in cryptography and cryptanalysis: architectures for trusted computing. Applications and Implementation Environments: Cryptography in wireless applications (mobile phone, WLANs, etc.): cryptography for pervasive computing (RFID, sensor networks, etc.): FPGA design security: hardware IP protection and anti-counterfeiting techniques: reconfigurable hardware for cryptography: smart card processors, systems, and applications: security in commercial consumer applications (pay-TV, automotive, etc.): secure storage devices (memories, disks, etc.): technologies and hardware for content protection: security for embedded software and systems.

The Journal of Cryptology is a forum for original results in all areas of modern information security. Both cryptography and cryptanalysis are covered, including information theoretic and complexity theoretic perspectives as well as implementation, application, and standards issues. Coverage includes such topics as public key and conventional algorithms and their implementations, cryptanalytic attacks, pseudo-random sequences, computational number theory, cryptographic protocols, untraceability, privacy, authentication, key management and quantum cryptography. In addition to full-length technical, survey, and historical articles, the journal publishes short notes. The Journal of Cryptology is the official journal of the International Association for Cryptologic Research.

The journal offers a common reference and publication source for workers engaged in research on the experimental and theoretical aspects of crystal growth and its applications, e.g. in devices. Experimental and theoretical contributions are published in the following fields: theory of nucleation and growth, molecular kinetics and transport phenomena, crystallization in viscous media such as polymers and glasses; crystal growth of metals, minerals, semiconductors, superconductors, magnetics, inorganic, organic and biological substances in bulk or as thin films; molecular beam epitaxy, chemical vapor deposition, growth of III-V and II-VI and other semiconductors; characterization of single crystals by physical and chemical methods; apparatus, instrumentation and techniques for crystal growth, and purification methods; multilayer heterostructures and their characterisation with an emphasis on crystal growth and epitaxial aspects of electronic materials. A special feature of the journal is the periodic inclusion of proceedings of symposia and conferences on relevant aspects of crystal growth.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
