Labour Economics
The Official Journal of the European Association of Labour Economists (EALE)Labour Economics is devoted to publishing international research on empirical, theoretical and econometric topics that are of particular interest to labour economists. In particular, Labour Economics gives due recognition to solid empirical work with a strong economic interpretation. From time to time Labour Economics publishes review articles and articles on comparative labour market policies. Special issues and special sections of Labour Economics are available for the publication of collections of high quality topical papers or conference papers.Send us your past reportsTo improve the speed and quality of decisions, Labour Economics encourages authors to provide information relating to prior submission of the paper at other journals. Please include the editor's letter and referee reports accompanied by a response letter. Labour Economics reserves the right to use its own referees and provide these referees with copies of this correspondence.Data PolicyIt is the policy of Labour Economics to publish papers only if the program codes and the data used in the analysis are clearly and precisely documented and are readily available to any researcher for purposes of replication. Authors of accepted papers, in particular those that contain empirical work, simulations, experimental work, or numerical computations, must provide to the Journal, prior to publication, the data, programs, and other details of the computations sufficient to permit replication. These will be posted on the Labour Economics site. The editor should be notified at the time of submission if the data used in a paper are proprietary or if, for some other reason, the requirements above cannot be met. The program codes, however, must be made available.Submission to the journal is free to EALE members. You can easily become a member of the Association here.- ISSN: 0927-5371
Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology
The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology (JADP) publishes scholarly empirical research relating to human development. The Journal focuses on two key concepts: human development and application of knowledge. Human development refers to the transformations and changes that occur during the life cycle and the processes or mechanisms which influence individuals' behavioral, cognitive, emotional, and moral development. Application refers to how the knowledge gained from research can be applied to the improvement of developmental outcomes, such as through policy making or within educational, clinical, and social settings. Consequently, papers published in JADP explicitly articulate how findings can be applied to improving the lives of children, youth and young adults. JADP publishes studies on a broad array of social issues and contexts (e.g., differences in cultural, racial, social and learning contexts) that impact human development.- ISSN: 0193-3973
International Review of Law and Economics
The International Review of Law and Economics provides a forum for interdisciplinary research at the interface of law and economics.

Journal of Stored Products Research
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)environment... 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.

Behaviour Research and Therapy
An International Multi-Disciplinary Journal. The major focus of Behaviour Research and Therapy is an experimental psychopathology approach to understanding emotional and behavioral disorders and their prevention and treatment, using cognitive, behavioral, and psychophysiological (including neural) methods and models. This includes laboratory-based experimental studies with healthy, at risk and subclinical individuals that inform clinical application as well as studies with clinically severe samples. The following types of submissions are encouraged: theoretical reviews of mechanisms that contribute to psychopathology and that offer new treatment targets; tests of novel, mechanistically focused psychological interventions, especially ones that include theory-driven or experimentally-deriv... predictors, moderators and mediators; and innovations in dissemination and implementation of evidence-based practices into clinical practice in psychology and associated fields, especially those that target underlying mechanisms or focus on novel approaches to treatment delivery. In addition to traditional psychological disorders, the scope of the journal includes behavioural medicine (e.g., chronic pain). The journal will consider manuscripts dealing primarily with measurement and psychometric analyses if relevant to the primary focus of the journal (e.g., transdiagnostic mechanisms).The Editor and Associate Editors will make an initial determination of whether or not submissions fall within the scope of the journal and/or are of sufficient merit and importance to warrant full review.- ISSN: 0005-7967

For more details about the "Data, Tools and Replication" section, please see the file DataToolsReplication... “Short paper” section is devoted to manuscripts with at most 7,000 words. Each exhibit (table or figure) reduces the word limit by 200 words (e.g., a manuscript with five exhibits has a maximum length of 6,000 words). A maximum of five exhibits is allowed. The first decision will be accept, accept conditional on minor (expositional) changes, reject, or desk reject. Manuscripts must be self-contained. Papers will be rejected if the editor or the referees cannot assess the paper’s contribution based solely on the main text (i.e., without referring to appendices). The current turnaround time to a first decision is 39 days, with an approximate acceptance rate of 12%. To avoid unnecessary delay for authors, the editor might decide to return the paper to the author(s) before full review if she/ he determines that the paper is not suitable for the journal. The decision is always motivated.Internatio... Economics also offers a transfer option for papers which were marginally rejected from top field or general purpose journals.
