  • Ecological Modelling

    • ISSN: 0304-3800
    International Journal on Ecological Modelling and Systems EcologyEcological Modelling publishes new mathematical models and systems analysis for describing ecological processes, and novel applications of models for environmental management. We welcome research on process-based models embedded in theory with explicit causative agents and innovative applications of existing models. And because applications can help refine models and propose new directions for research, the journal publishes both to help foster reproducibility and utility.Human activity and well-being are dependent on and integrated with the functioning of ecosystems and the services they provide. We aim to understand these basic ecosystem functions using mathematical and conceptual modelling, systems analysis, thermodynamics, computer simulations, and ecological theory, and look to a wide spectrum of applications ranging from basic ecology to human ecology to socio-ecological systems. The journal welcomes original research articles, review articles, viewpoint articles and short communications.The journal also supports the activities of the International Society of Ecological Modelling (ISEM).

  • Critical Perspectives on Accounting

    • ISSN: 1045-2354
    Critical Perspectives on Accounting aims to provide a forum for the growing number of accounting researchers and practitioners who realize that conventional theory and practice is ill-suited to the challenges of the modern environment, and that accounting practices and corporate behavior are inextricably connected with many allocative, distributive, social, and ecological problems of our era. From such concerns, a new literature is emerging that seeks to reformulate corporate, social, and political activity, and the theoretical and practical means by which we apprehend and affect that activity.Research areas includeStudies involving the political economy of accounting, critical accounting, radical accounting, and accounting's implication in the exercise of power Financial accounting's role in the processes of international capital formation, including its impact on stock market stability and international banking activitiesManagement accounting's role in organizing the labor process The relationship between accounting and the state in various social formationsStudies of accounting's historical role, as a means of "remembering" the subject's social and conflictual characterThe role of accounting in establishing "real" democracy at work and other domains of lifeAccounting's adjudicative function in international exchanges, such as that of the Third World debtAntagonisms between the social and private character of accounting, such as conflicts of interest in the audit processThe identification of new constituencies for radical and critical accounting informationAccountin... involvement in gender and class conflicts in the workplaceThe interplay between accounting, social conflict, industrialization, bureaucracy, and technocracyReapprais... of the role of accounting as a science and technologyCritical reviews of "useful" scientific knowledge about organizationsStudies approaching accounting education from a critical perspective, including how students can be initiated to critical thinkingBenefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

If you require any further information or help, please visit our Support CenterAdditional policy from the journal on the use of artificial intelligence in research In an editorial published in 2024, the editors of the journal developed the following policy that applies to submissions that rely on the use of artificial intelligence. “As co-editors, we are particularly concerned about the threat posed by artificial intelligence (AI) to the authenticity of research. We conceive of authenticity in research as an implicit claim made by the researcher that is empirically and ethically grounded. Empirical authenticity relates to the researcher’s genuine commitment to understand the world reflexively. Ethical authenticity means being original and true to oneself despite prevailing performance pressures in the researcher’s environment. Given what we know about the juggernaut of AI, we do not want Critical Perspectives on Accounting to receive submissions in which AI played a significant role in any step of the research process, except for language translation and copyediting purposes. Also, we do not want reviewers and editors-in-charge to rely in any significant way on AI to produce reviews, make editorial decisions, and write editorial letters. This is a question of authenticity.” Reference: Gendron, Y., Andrew, J., Cooper, C., and Tregidga, H. 2024. On the juggernaut of artificial intelligence in organizations, research and society.
