Journal of Vocational Behavior

ISSN: 0001-8791

The Journal of Vocational Behavior publishes original empirical and theoretical articles that contribute novel insights to the fields of career choice, career development, and work adjustment across the lifespan and which are also valuable for applications in counseling and career development programs in colleges and universities, business and industry, government, and the military.The Journal primarily focuses on investigations of individual decision-making about work and careers rather than studies of employer or organizational-level variables. Example topics include initial career choices (e.g., choice of major, initial choice of work or organization, organizational attraction), the development of a career, work transitions, work-family management, work adjustment and attitudes within the workplace (such as work commitment, multiple role management, turnover).Editors will consider manuscripts that make significant contributions to the literature in the following areas: Studies of individuals' career and work-related choices examining topics such as: • Theories of career choice; occupational interests and their measurement • The inter-relation of abilities, needs, values, and personality • Occupational aspirations and the vocational decision-making process • Career adaptability; vocational development processes and stages • The effects of culture, demographic variables, and experiential factors on vocational choice • Career exploration • Job search • Organizational socialization. Stud... of work decisions and adjustment within the workplace, investigating topics such as: • Job performance and satisfaction • Career success; • Theories of work adjustment • Adult vocational development and career patterns • Organizational commitment and job involvement • Multiple-role management and the work-family interface • Work-role salience • Culture, demographic variables, and experiential factors on workplace decisions • Work-leisure relations • Midlife career change • Occupational re-entry and transition from work to retirement. • Individual job characteristics and job design. • Work-related stress and well-being. The journal also publishes research on career interventions; mentoring; and psychometric research that reports the construction and initial validation of new inventories as well as studies that evaluate the reliability and validity of instruments that measure career related constructs. Please note: the Journal does not publish research on organization-, team-, or group-level variables nor does it publish studies on vocational education.

Journal of Web Semantics

ISSN: 1570-8268

The Journal of Web Semantics (JWS) is an interdisciplinary forum at the intersection of the Semantic Web, Knowledge Graphs (KGs), and Artificial Intelligence (AI), with a strong emphasis on both theoretical and applied research. Building on its foundation as a venue for exploring knowledge-intensive and intelligent Web technologies, JWS recognizes the pivotal role that KGs and Semantic Web (SW) technologies play in the evolving AI landscape, particularly amid recent breakthroughs in Generative AI, neuro-symbolic systems, and autonomous agents.JWS seeks to capture the critical convergence between symbolic and statistical approaches to AI, focusing on the methods, architectures, and foundational theories that drive the integration of Semantic Web and KG technologies with machine learning, deep learning, Large Language Models (LLMs), and other AI techniques. The journal encourages contributions that not only demonstrate impactful applications but also advance the theoretical understanding of how structured, semantic knowledge can enhance intelligent systems.We welcome high-quality submissions that include, but are not limited to, the following areas:Theoretical Foundations and Methodological AdvancesFormal Models and Representations: New theoretical frameworks and formalisms for KGs, ontologies, reasoning, and semantic data management, including studies on expressivity, consistency, change management, and evolution in complex or dynamic systems.Hybrid and Neuro-Symbolic Architectures: Methodological insights into combining symbolic knowledge representation with sub-symbolic learning, including formal characterizations of neuro-symbolic systems and architectures.KG-AI Integration Methods: Novel algorithms and frameworks that tightly couple KGs with AI methods in ways that yield results unattainable by either approach alone, including Logic Augmented Generation and reasoning-enhanced learning.Evaluation and Benchmarking: Research on robust evaluation methodologies for KG-AI systems, with attention to correctness, scalability, data quality, reliability, interpretability, and accountability. Applied and Interdisciplinary ResearchCross-Discip... Studies: Integrative work drawing from ontology engineering, databases, NLP, machine learning, human-computer interaction, and cognitive science, among others, with clear theoretical or methodological contributions.Domain Applications: Real-world use cases showing how KGs and SW technologies enable or enhance AI in specific domains: Healthcare and Life Sciences, Education, Legal Tech, Scientific Discovery, Smart Cities, Industry, Finance, Cultural Heritage, Art and Creativity, etc.Engineering, Resources, and System IntegrationKG Engineering Automation: AI-driven approaches to the (semi-)automatic creation, population, alignment, and refinement of KGs and ontologies, especially using LLMs and foundation models.System Descriptions and Architectures: Descriptions of integrated KG-AI systems, with technical insights into issues such as hallucination mitigation, knowledge retrieval, cross-modal integration, and interaction design.Auditing, Explanation, and Governance: Research on how KGs contribute to transparency, robustness, and auditability of AI systems, including formal representation of workflows, provenance, and ethical constraints.Data and Knowledge Resources: Descriptions of high-impact ontologies, datasets, benchmarks, and tools that enable research or deployment in SW/AI integration. JWS is especially interested in papers that address current and future challenges in the field, including:Modelling expressivity for complex systemsKnowledge engineering automationIntegratio... of heterogeneous data and knowledge sourcesScalable, efficient reasoning with large-scale KGsAccessibility and usability of semantic systemsProvenance, privacy, and interoperability in AI-KG ecosystemsSocietal impacts, costs, risks, and sustainability of KG-based AIEvaluation of semantic methods and systems Finally, we value contributions that demonstrate real-world impact and uptake, including usability studies, deployment evaluations, and comparative analyses with alternative technologies.By promoting both foundational insights and practical innovations, JWS aims to remain a leading venue for advancing the role of Semantic Web and Knowledge Graph technologies in shaping the future of Artificial Intelligence.

Landscape and Urban Planning

ISSN: 0169-2046

An Interdisciplinary Journal of Landscape Science, Planning and Design.Landscape and Urban Planning is an international journal aimed at advancing conceptual, scientific, and applied understandings of landscape in order to promote sustainable solutions for landscape change. Landscapes are visible and integrative social-ecological systems with variable spatial and temporal dimensions. They have expressive aesthetic, natural, and cultural qualities that are perceived and valued by people in multiple ways and invite actions resulting in landscape change. Landscapes are increasingly urban in nature and ecologically and culturally sensitive to changes at local through global scales. Multiple disciplines and perspectives are required to understand landscapes and align social and ecological values to ensure the sustainability of landscapes. The journal is based on the premise that landscape science linked to planning and design can provide mutually supportive outcomes for people and nature.Landscape science brings landscape ecology and urban ecology together with other disciplines and cross-disciplinary fields to identify patterns and understand social-ecological processes influencing landscape change. Landscape planning brings landscape architecture, urban and regional planning, landscape and ecological engineering, and other practice-oriented fields to bear in processes for identifying problems and analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating desirable alternatives for landscape change. Landscape design brings plans, designs, management prescriptions, policies and other activities and form-giving products to bear in effecting landscape change. The implementation of landscape planning and design also generates new patterns of evidence and hypotheses for further research, providing an integral link with landscape science and encouraging transdisciplinary collaborations to build robust knowledge and problem solving capacity.

Language & Communication

ISSN: 0271-5309

This journal is unique in that it provides a forum devoted to the interdisciplinary study of language and communication. The investigation of language and its communicational functions is treated as a concern shared in common by those working in applied linguistics, child development, cultural studies, discourse analysis, intellectual history, legal studies, language evolution, linguistic anthropology, linguistics, philosophy, the politics of language, pragmatics, psychology, rhetoric, semiotics, and sociolinguistics.The journal invites contributions which explore the implications of current research for establishing common theoretical frameworks within which findings from different areas of study may be accommodated and interrelated. By focusing attention on the many ways in which language is integrated with other forms of communicational activity and interactional behaviour, it is intended to encourage approaches to the study of language and communication which are not restricted by existing disciplinary boundaries.Benefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
