Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research - section A (NIM-A) publishes papers on design, development and performance of scientific instruments including complex detector systems and large-scale facilities which utilize or study ionizing radiation. This scope includes the development of particle accelerators, particle beam sources, beam transport systems and target arrangements as well as the use of secondary phenomena and their enabling instruments such as neutron sources, synchrotron radiation sources and free electron lasers. It also includes all types of instrumentation for the detection and spectrometry of radiations from high energy processes and nuclear decays, as well as innovative instrumentation for nuclear reactors, nuclear security, nuclear medical diagnoses and therapy, astrophysics, planetary science, and environmental protection. Specialized electronics for these instruments as well as computerization of measurements and control systems in this area also find their place in NIM-A, as do new simulation codes and analysis tools*). Theoretical as well as experimental papers are accepted. *) We receive an increasing number of submissions that are based exclusively on simulated data generated by standard codes such as ANSYS, Geant4, MAFIA, to name a few. Often the codes are used in a black-box manner to simulate relatively simple concepts and geometries without any validation of the results. Such submissions if found to fall short of our thresholds for originality and innovation may be rejected. We face a similar situation related to the use of standard neural networks (deep learning) that are used to analyse all kinds of data (experimental or Monte-Carlo generated). Unless there is a clear motivation and a significant performance increase compared to a conventional analysis, such submissions may be rejected without starting the review process. Sponsored issues publication: The journal Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research offers authors the option of rapid publication in (thematic) special issues.

Journal of Symbolic Computation
An international journal, the Journal of Symbolic Computation, founded by Bruno Buchberger in 1985, is directed to mathematicians and computer scientists who have a particular interest in symbolic computation. The journal provides a forum for research in the algorithmic treatment of all types of symbolic objects: objects in formal languages (terms, formulas, programs); algebraic objects (elements in basic number domains, polynomials, residue classes, etc.); and geometrical objects.It is the explicit goal of the journal to promote the integration of symbolic computation by establishing one common avenue of communication for researchers working in the different subareas. It is also important that the algorithmic achievements of these areas should be made available to the human problem-solver in integrated software systems for symbolic computation. To help this integration, the journal publishes invited tutorial surveys as well as Applications Letters and System Descriptions.Researc... Areas Include:• Computational algebra • Computational geometry (non-linear) • Automated theorem proving • Automatic programming • Design and implementation of symbolic computation languages and systems • Applications in education, science, engineering and industryBenefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Applied Soil Ecology
Applied Soil Ecology addresses the role of soil organisms and their interactions in relation to: agricultural productivity, nutrient cycling and other soil processes, the maintenance of soil structure, sustainability and fertility, the impact of human activities and xenobiotics on soil biota and bio(techno)logical control of soil-inhabiting pests and diseases. Overall, the journal considers studies dealing with the involvement of soil organisms in soil health, soil fertility and sustainability, both in human-managed (i.e. agricultural, forestry systems) and (semi)natural environments. Studies focused predominantly on plant responses without sufficient focus in soil organisms, as mentioned above, are usually not considered in Applied Soil Ecology. The disciplines covered include the following, and preference will be given to articles which are interdisciplinary and integrate two or more of these disciplines: • soil microbiology and microbial ecology • soil invertebrate zoology and ecology • root and rhizosphere ecology • soil science • soil biotechnology • ecotoxicology • nematology • entomology • plant pathology • agronomy and sustainable agriculture • nutrient cycling • ecosystem modelling and food webs

Computers and Geotechnics
The use of computers is firmly established in geotechnical engineering and continues to grow rapidly in both engineering practice and academe. The development of advanced numerical techniques and constitutive modeling, in conjunction with rapid developments in computer hardware, enables problems to be tackled that were unthinkable even a few years ago. Computers and Geotechnics provides an up-to-date reference for engineers and researchers engaged in computer aided analysis and research in geotechnical engineering. The journal is intended for an expeditious dissemination of advanced computer applications across a broad range of geotechnical topics. Contributions on advances in numerical algorithms, computer implementation of new constitutive models and probabilistic methods are especially encouraged. The application of newly proposed numerical methods and techniques to complex geotechnical engineering problems or to well-documented case studies are of interest. However, submissions that predominantly report results from proprietary codes, describe computer modelling of laboratory tests, field monitoring, or case histories, or develop new design approaches are only welcome if they demonstrate novel user-implemented computational methods. Mining, petroleum, or transportation engineering topics are usually discouraged as they align more closely with other journals. Since the journal is willing to accept longer papers if justified, authors are asked to avoid two-part submissions.Original contributions in the emerging areas of Machine Learning and Data Science are now welcome. Submissions should have a focus on geotechnical engineering problems and should provide either i) advances in foundational algorithms and computational frameworks or ii) innovative applications of physics-informed AI/ML techniques. Research results are sought that leverage the integration of observational data, fundamental physical laws and our domain knowledge in geomechanics and geotechnical engineering to offer new physical insights, uncover hidden intrinsic physical laws, and create new knowledge for both geotechnical researchers and practitioners.
