Journal Guide

Basic and Applied Ecology provides a forum in which significant advances and ideas can be rapidly communicated to a wide audience. Basic and Applied Ecology publishes minireviews, perspectives and original contributions from all areas of basic and applied ecology. Ecologists from all countries are invited to publish ecological research of international interest in its pages. There is no bias with regard to taxon or geographical area.Basic and Applied Ecology is the official journal of the "Ecological Society of Germany, Austria and Switzerland (Gesellschaft für Ökologie)", representing ecologists of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. Characteristic features of this scientific society include a broad spectrum of disciplines, so plant and animal ecologists, agroecologists, forest ecologists, tropical ecologists, soil ecologists, geoecologists, limnologists, conservationists, and landscape ecologists will shape the journal's contents. Basic and Applied Ecology actively solicits papers that strive to integrate the various disciplines and issues within the broad field of ecology.For members of the "Gesellschaft für Ökologie" (the Ecological Society of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland) free access to the online version of Basic and Applied Ecology (BAE) is included in their membership for only 75 Euro per year. Please contact Dr. Stefan Hotes (E-mail: info@gfoe.org) to become a member.

Basic and Applied Social Psychology (BASP) emphasizes the publication of outstanding research articles, but also considers literature reviews, criticism, and methodological or theoretical statements spanning the entire range of social psychological issues. The journal will publish basic work in areas of social psychology that can be applied to societal problems, as well as direct application of social psychology to such problems. The journal provides a venue for a broad range of specialty areas, including research on legal and political issues, environmental influences on behavior, organizations, aging, medical and health-related outcomes, sexuality, education and learning, the effects of mass media, gender issues, and population problems. This research should have important implications for basic social processes and often is some of the most exciting work in the field of social psychology. BASP aims to provide a forum for a rich mixture of experiments, non-experimental methods, field studies, and welcomes innovative design and analysis strategies. The journal aims to serve both as a resource for investigators interested in the application of complex human experimentation to various problems of health, environment, and society and to social psychologists committed to the advancement of theory and the understanding of basic social and social-cognitive processes. Peer Review Policy: All papers published in this journal have undergone rigorous editorial screening and anonymous peer review. Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

Basin Research is an international journal which aims to publish original, high impact research papers on sedimentary basin systems. We view integrated, interdisciplinary research as being essential for the advancement of the subject area; therefore, we do not seek manuscripts focused purely on sedimentology, structural geology, or geophysics that have a natural home in specialist journals. Rather, we seek manuscripts that treat sedimentary basins as multi-component systems that require a multi-faceted approach to advance our understanding of their development. During deposition and subsidence we are concerned with large-scale geodynamic processes, heat flow, fluid flow, strain distribution, seismic and sequence stratigraphy, modelling, burial and inversion histories. In addition, we view the development of the source area, in terms of drainage networks, climate, erosion, denudation and sediment routing systems as vital to sedimentary basin systems. The underpinning requirement is that a contribution should be of interest to earth scientists of more than one discipline.
