Journal of Magnetic Resonance
JMR (Journal of Magnetic Resonance) presents original technical and scientific papers in all aspects of magnetic resonance, including nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) of solids and liquids, electron spin/paramagnetic resonance (EPR), in vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy (MRS), nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) and magnetic resonance phenomena at nearly zero fields or in combination with optics. JMR's main aims include deepening the physical principles underlying all these spectroscopies, publishing significant theoretical and experimental results leading to spectral and spatial progress in these areas, and opening new MR-based applications in chemistry, biology and medicine. JMR also seeks descriptions of novel apparatuses, new experimental protocols, and new procedures of data analysis and interpretation - including computational and quantum-mechanical methods - capable of advancing MR spectroscopy and imaging.With a solid track record spanning over four decades, JMR is known for introducing high-quality, breakthrough articles. These have been seminal to the current state-of-the-art achieved by NMR, ESR, MRI and NQR, and it is a tradition we aim to preserve and enlarge. JMR spans the full range of disciplines impacted by magnetic resonance, including experts interested in magnetic resonance within the context of physics, engineering, materials sciences, chemistry, biophysics, structural biology, in vivo biochemistry, biology, preclinical analyses, and human imaging.Emphasis is placed on expanding the basic principles and techniques underlying this branch of spectroscopy, as well as on state-of-the-art applications of novel MR experiments to all the research areas of interest to our constituency. Manuscripts that only make routine use of well-established techniques or minor spectroscopic contributions, are not appropriate for JMR.Open Data: JMR encourages authors to deposit their datasets publicly available on Mendeley Data (http://data.mendele... They are also welcome to submit manuscripts to the JMR's open access companion title, Journal of Magnetic Resonance Open (JMRO).JMR is an official journal of the International Society of Magnetic Resonance (ISMAR).- ISSN: 1090-7807

Journal of Outdoor Recreation and Tourism
Journal of Outdoor Recreation and Tourism offers a dedicated outlet for social science and natural resource research relevant to outdoor recreation and nature-based tourism.The journal publishes peer-reviewed, original research that advances our understanding of outdoor recreation and nature-based tourism in the context of sustainable outdoor leisure sites and protected area management and planning. JORT covers the entire spectrum of settings, ranging from wilderness to urban outdoor recreation opportunities.JORT is an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary journal. Articles may focus on any aspect of theory, method, or concept of outdoor recreation or nature-based tourism research, planning, or management. Interdisciplinary work is especially welcome and may be of a theoretical and/or case study nature. Depending on the topic of investigation, articles may be positioned within a single academic discipline or drawn from multiple disciplines in an integrative manner. Submissions should have an overarching relevance to the social sciences and natural resources and demonstrate a clear connection to nature-based tourism or outdoor recreation in natural settings. Submissions may comprise fundamental or applied research but should offering insights into the relevance of the work for managers, planners, and policymakers. Therefore, each article is accompanied by an executive summary, written by the editors or authors, highlighting the aspects of the article most relevant to outdoor recreation and nature-based tourism planning and management.JORT is international in scope and attracts scholars from all reaches of the world to facilitate the exchange of ideas. As such, the journal enhances the understanding and applied aspects of scientific knowledge, empirical results, and practitioners' needs.- ISSN: 2213-0780
