Journal Guide

Oral presentations will be made in specific sessions, some of which will be introduced by a keynote. The total time allocated to each presentation is 12 minutes, but you should allow 2-3 minutes of these for discussion. For much of the time, there will be parallel sessions located in rooms in the same conference area, but it will be very easy to move between rooms. Therefore, it is essential that speakers keep to the time schedule and do not exceed the time allocated. Chairpersons will be under strict instruction to stop any presentation that is running over time. The use of video equipment is not allowed.

Online publications grouped under the aegis "Geoscience e-Journals" (a former web ring converted into a genuine portal) incorporate those peer-reviewed electronic journals dedicated to open access publishing in the field of Earth Sciences (geochemistry, geophysics, paleontology, regional geology, stratigraphy, geography, etc.), that is those e-journals that permit free online access to all or at least a major part of their current issue and/or archives.

The Bulletin of the History of Archaeology (BHA) was inaugurated over 20 years ago as a forum to exchange research, information on on-going projects, and resources devoted to a growing interest in the histories of archaeology. As this interest has grown, BHA has become global in reach, and has taken an increasingly expansive definition of its subject matter and its place within wider historical contexts. To this end, the journal publishes research not only on the histories of archaeology strictly defined, but also on the subject as it intersects with related histories like those of collecting, colonialism, exploration, fieldwork, heritage, and museums. At the same time, BHA is particularly focused on building interdisciplinary collaborations, and publishes work that takes its methodological cues from fields including anthropology and historical anthropology, archaeology, art history, colonial and postcolonial studies, gender studies, global history, and the history, philosophy, and sociology of science.

The leading journal in its field for more than three quarters of a century, the Bulletin is the official publication of the American Association for the History of Medicine and the Johns Hopkins Institute of the History of Medicine. Each issue spans the social, cultural, and scientific aspects of the history of medicine worldwide and includes reviews of recent books on medical history.

Bulletin of the International Association for Paleodontology is an interdisciplinary open access online journal inviting and welcoming contributions from anthropology, bioarchaeology, paleodontology and related fields.The journal publishes papers and develops discussions on a wide range of research problems, e.g. methodology and methods of bioarchaeological, and anthropological research, including field and laboratory study techniques; information technologies; bioarchaeological reconstruction; human evolution; etc.The journal also publishes results of field investigations conducted by bioarchaeologists, anthropologists, osteologists, and announcements of symposia and professional meetings. It is the goal of this publication to provide authors with an international forum for the presentation of their materials and ideas.Bulletin of the International Association for Paleodontology features eight types of articles: original scientific papers reviews case reports preliminary communications letters to the editor book reviews congress/meetings reports news Bulletin of the International Association for Paleodontology is primarily a scientific journal, but submissions from scholars in this field are also encouraged.Bulletin of the International Association for Paleodontology is published two times a year (spring and autumn).

Bulletin of the Lebedev Physics Institute has been issued since 1970. It promptly publishes results of new original experimental and theoretical investigations carried out at the Lebedev Physics Institute, the Prokhorov General Physics Institute, and the Institute for Nuclear Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences. All papers undergo careful examination by leading experts in the corresponding field. Articles cover all topics of physics. The following are the main subject headings: Theoretical Physics; Atomic and Molecular Physics; Nuclear Physics; Optics; Lasers; Condensed Matter Physics; Physics of Solids; Biophysics.

The Proceedings, Journal and Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society are among the world's leading mathematical research periodicals. They share a common Editorial Advisory Board, with shorter papers going to the Bulletin, those of middling length to the Journal, and longer papers to the Proceedings.Subject coverage of the LMS periodicals ranges across a broad spectrum of mathematics, covering the whole of pure mathematics together with some more applied areas of analysis, mathematical physics, theoretical computer science, probability, and statistics.The London Mathematical Society began publishing research papers in 1865 and over time it has published the best of British mathematics having developed an internationally renowned reputation as one of the best publishers of high quality mathematics in the world today. The journals attract authors from over 80 countries and the number of papers submitted has grown enormously in recent years, enabling the Society to select and publish some of the best mathematical research currently available.
