Physics of Life Reviews
Physics of Life Reviews is an international journal appearing quarterly, that publishes review articles on physics of living systems, complex phenomena in biological systems, and related fields of artificial life, robotics, mathematical bio-semiotics, and artificial intelligent systems. This journal is a unifying force, going across the barriers between disciplines, addressing all living systems from molecules to populations and from genetics to mind and artificial systems modeling these phenomena. The journal invites reviews from actively working researchers, which are broad in scope, critical, accessible to our wide readership and addresses sometimes controversial accounts of recent progress and problems.Physics of Life Reviews intends to keep the active researcher abreast of developments on a wide range of topics by publishing timely reviews, which are more than mere literature surveys but normally less than a full monograph. Although most of the reviews will be of a specialist nature, each review should contain enough introductory material to make the main points intelligible to a non-specialist and to inspire and facilitate interdisciplinary research. "Physics" in the journal name refers to the methodology unifying all areas of physics: (1) elucidating fundamental principles, (2) developing a mathematical model, (3) making experimentally verifiable predictions. We seek reviews aspiring to this universal paradigm. The reviews should address in a clear way the most important conceptual issues in a field, review existing theories and methods with their achievements and drawbacks or difficulties versus the issues, unsolved problems addressed by a new theory, method, or approach, and why a significant progress is achieved or expected. Future research directions, remaining unsolved problems, and experimental confirmations or controversies should also be addressed.- ISSN: 1571-0645

Only papers of a non-routine nature and advancing the field will be considered for publication.Authors who wish to appeal the rejection of their manuscript may submit a formal appeal. Appeal requests must be made in writing to the Journal (you can find the Journal's email address on the Journal's homepage) with the word "appeal" and the manuscript number in the subject line.Authors should:submit their appeal within 1 month of receiving the rejection letter and should not submit their manuscript to any other journal while their appeal is being considered.detail in the appeal letter why they refute the decision and provide point-by-point responses to any of the editors' and/or reviewers' comments that seem to have contributed to the decision. A difference of opinion as to the interest, novelty, or suitability of the manuscript for the journal is not a sufficient reason for an appeal.provide any new information or data that the Journal should take into consideration. This should not be a repetition of what was included in the original submission or cover letter.provide evidence if they believe the Editor or Reviewer has made technical errors in their assessment of the manuscript.include evidence if they believe the Editor or Reviewer may have a conflict of interest or has been biased.The appeal will be considered by the Journal's Editors-in-Chief or their designated representative (such as members of a journal's Ethics Committee), or by Elsevier staff as needed. Even if the Journal agrees to reconsider the manuscript, acceptance is not guaranteed, and the reconsideration process may involve re-review by previous or new reviewers or Editors, and substantive revision. Only one appeal per submission will be considered and the Editor's decision will be final. The Journal is unable to consider appeals in which the subject matter is the focus of an on-going legal proceeding and reserves the right to decline, suspend or discontinue an appeal in the event that legal proceedings pertaining to the subject matter of the appeal should commence.- ISSN: 0167-7322

Fire Safety Journal
An international journal devoted to research on Fire Safety Science and Engineering Official Journal of the International Association for Fire Safety ScienceFire Safety Journal is the leading publication dealing with all aspects of fire safety engineering. Its scope is purposefully wide, as it is deemed important to encourage papers from all sources within this multidisciplinary subject, thus providing a forum for its further development as a distinct engineering discipline. This is an essential step towards gaining a status equal to that enjoyed by the other engineering disciplines.It is impossible to give a comprehensive list of topics which are considered acceptable and the following list is intended for guidance only:• Fire chemistry and physics • Fire dynamics (including gas explosions) • Active fire protection systems, including detection and suppression • Passive fire protection methods • People/fire interactions (physical, physiological and psychological) • Fire safety management • Assessment and quantification of fire risk (including acceptability of risk) • Fire investigation • Fire safety design (including consumer items, industrial plant, transportation, buildings) • Fire safety legislation • Fire safety education.Original contributions relating to any of the above topics are invited, particularly if they incorporate a quantitative approach to the subject in question.- ISSN: 0379-7112

International Journal of Production Economics
The International Journal of Production Economics focuses on topics treating the interface between engineering and management. All aspects of the subject in relation to manufacturing and process industries, as well as production in general are covered. The journal is interdisciplinary in nature, considering whole cycles of activities, such as the product life cycle - research, design, development, test, launch, disposal - and the material flow cycle - supply, production, distribution.The ultimate objective of the journal is to disseminate knowledge for improving industrial practice and to strengthen the theoretical base necessary for supporting sound decision making. It provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and the presentation of new developments in theory and application, wherever engineering and technology meet the managerial and economic environment in which industry operates. In character, the journal combines the high standards of a traditional academic approach with the practical value of industrial applications.Article... accepted need to be based on rigorous sound theory and contain an essential novel scientific contribution. Tracing economic and financial consequences in the analysis of the problem and solution reported, belongs to the central theme of the journal. Submissions should strictly follow the Guide for Authors of the journal.We are interested in publishing high quality survey and review papers in relevant domains. However, we stress that the hurdles for consideration of such papers are high. They must demonstrate a strong need, show that they are well-executed, and generate valuable insights. Survey and review papers must position themselves clearly in relation to existing related reviews and surveys in the field. Systematic reviews that merely describe publication patterns in a particular field are unlikely to be sent out for review for IJPE. All survey and review papers must show valuable critique of the field and new insights. Such papers will normally require author(s) with sufficient experience in the field to make appropriate judgements.- ISSN: 0925-5273
