Agricultural Economics

ISSN: 0169-5150

As of 2005, no longer published by Elsevier. Please contact Blackwell PublishingAIMS AND SCOPEThis journal publishes articles covering the range of work done on agricultural economics, divided into three categories. (1) Disciplinary work: improvement of theories, techniques and descriptive knowledge of economics and its contributing disciplines such as statistics, mathematics and philosophy. (2) Multi-disciplinary subject matter areas: energy, technical change, institutional change, natural resources, farm management, rural communities, marketing, human development and the environment - areas which are important to fairly well-defined groups of public and private decision-makers facing well-defined sets of problems. (3) Problem solving: the definition, solution and management of specific practical problems. Work in each of these three categories may deal with teaching, extension and out-reach, consulting, advising, entrepreneurship and administration, as well as research. All of these may require knowledge of values, non-monetary as well as monetary. The Editor and Editorial Board, under the general direction of the IAAE's President, Executive Committee and Council, are charged with implementing Journal policy to serve members of the IAAE around the world.Listing of Published an Forthcoming ArticlesTo search on published and forthcoming articles of Agricultural Economics access ECONBASE at http://www.elsevier.com/homepage/sae/econworld/econbase/agecon/frame.htm

Algal Research

ISSN: 2211-9264
5 Year impact factor: 4.8
Impact factor: 4.6

Biomass, Biofuels and BioproductsAlgal Research is an international phycology journal covering all areas of emerging technologies in algae biology, biomass production, cultivation, harvesting, extraction, bioproducts, biorefinery, engineering, and econometrics. Algae is defined to include cyanobacteria, microalgae, macroalgae, and protists and symbionts of interest in biotechnology. The journal publishes original research and reviews for the following scope: algal biology, including but not exclusive to: phylogeny, biodiversity, molecular traits, metabolic regulation, and genetic engineering, algal cultivation, e.g. phototrophic systems, heterotrophic systems, and mixotrophic systems, algal harvesting and extraction systems, biotechnology to convert algal biomass and components into biofuels and bioproducts, e.g., nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, animal feed, plastics, etc. algal products and their economic assessment.Papers in the latter topics should include characterization and analysis in support of such processes and technologies, for example: approaches to biorefinery and biomass characterization, sustainability assessments and analyses, such as techno-economic, life cycle, and resource assessments of systems and processes using algae as a main source of biomass.The journal will not consider manuscripts where the core concept is the experimental design (RSM, CCD or other) in the optimization of a process, or the biological activity of algae extracts without full characterization and identification of the compounds responsible for the bioactivity.Review articles, book reviews and commentaries should only be submitted after consultation with the editors.

Food Policy

ISSN: 0306-9192
5 Year impact factor: 6.6
Impact factor: 6.8

Food Policy is a multidisciplinary journal publishing original research and novel evidence on issues in the formulation, implementation, and evaluation of policies for the food sector in developing, transition, and advanced economies.Our main focus is on the economic and social aspect of food policy, and we prioritize empirical studies informing international food policy debates. Provided that articles make a clear and explicit contribution to food policy debates of international interest, we consider papers from any of the social sciences. Papers from other disciplines (e.g., law) will be considered only if they provide a key policy contribution, and are written in a style which is accessible to a social science readership.Policy issues that are relevant to the journal include: • Food production, trade, marketing, and consumption • Nutrition and health aspects of food systems • Food needs, entitlements, security, and aid • Food safety and quality assurance • Technological and institutional innovation affecting food systems and access • Food systems and environmental sustainabilityConceptual and methodological articles should be written so that they are accessible to the journal's diverse international readership. We normally do not publish review papers, although we might make rare exceptions for rigorous and critical reviews on topical issues.See also Elsevier's Economics Journals

Journal of Stored Products Research

ISSN: 0022-474X
5 Year impact factor: 2.7
Impact factor: 2.7

The Journal of Stored Products Research provides an international medium for the publication of both reviews and original results from laboratory and field research on all aspects of the preservation and safety of stored products along the supply chain starting from production to the consumer. The scope covers both durable commodities, and fresh fruits, vegetables, and freshly manufactured foodstuffs. Durable commodities are characterized by having relatively low moisture content and include raw and semi-processed foods such as grains, dried fruits, and animal feed, and other stored products such as timber, rubber, resins, clothing, and museum artefacts that are generally suitable for long-term storage. Fresh fruits, vegetables, and freshly manufactured foodstuffs (eg. bakery, sausages), are characterized by having high moisture contents but are stored over short to medium-term storage.Manuscripts are welcomed on: the biology, ecology, physiology, behaviour, taxonomy, and genetics of vertebrates (eg. rodents and birds) and invertebrate pests (eg. insects, mites) and microbial spoilage agents (eg. fungi, mold, yeast, and bacteria)environmental factors influencing the life cycles of the above-listed storage pests and spoilage agentsthe physical, chemical, and biological control of pests and spoilage agents, including the use of biologically producing compounds as preservatives with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activitiessubmission of manuscripts containing research on plant materials/botanicals are encouraged only if significant applied aspects are undertaken demonstrating their detailed chemical composition and long-term efficacy in the laboratory, supported by field application and the use of suitable controls: both negative/blank and positive (i.e., a compound of known activity)development of biochemical or behavioural resistance in pests to control measures and their managementstorage biotechnology, integrated pest management, and decision support systemsthe effects of physical, chemical, and environmental control procedures on the physical and chemical nature, besides quality parameters of the stored commoditiesthe assessment, prevention, and control of physical losses and preservation of quality of commodities during storage, and waste managementregulatory, technological, and socio-economic subjects relevant to stored productsNovel approaches in postharvest food engineering and manufacturing technologies, (eg. AI tools, chemical sensors, gas detectors) in processing, packaging, and design and modifications of storage structuresThe Journal of Stored Products Research reflects the worldwide interest in finding researched-based solutions for problems arising from the process of storage directly affecting the quality of stored products and their relevance to food security and safety, commodity protection, and their market access and trade.
