Social Networks
An International Journal of Social Network AnalysisSocial Networks is an interdisciplinary and international quarterly. It provides a common forum for representatives of anthropology, sociology, history, social psychology, political science, human geography, biology, economics, communications science and other disciplines who share an interest in the study of the empirical structure of social relations and associations that may be expressed in network form. It publishes both theoretical and substantive papers. Critical reviews of major theoretical or methodological approaches using the notion of networks in the analysis of social behaviour are also included, as are reviews of recent books dealing with social networks and social structure.The editorial criteria for acceptance will be based on the degree to which a paper makes a broad theoretical or methodological, and empirically relevant, contribution to the study of social networks. Acceptable papers may range from abstract, formal mathematical derivations to concrete, descriptive case studies of particular social networks. The editors are therefore particularly interested in papers that attempt to uncover the processes by which social networks emerge, evolve and have consequences for other aspects of behaviour. However, for reports of empirical research results, manuscripts must contain the following: a discussion of sampling, representation, and generalizability; a substantive foundation based on the social network literature; a consideration of social network processes; and feature meaningful data.- ISSN: 0378-8733

Space Policy is also a journal of record, reproducing, in whole or part, official documents such as treaties, space agency plans or government reports relevant to the space community. Views expressed in the journal are not necessarily those of the editors or members of the editorial board.- ISSN: 0265-9646
Health & Place
Health & Place is an interdisciplinary journal dedicated to the study of the role of place in understanding health and health care.Recent years have seen closer links evolving between health geography, medical sociology, health policy, public health and epidemiology, amongst other disciplines. The journal reflects these convergences, which emphasise differences in health and health-related experiences between places, the social, cultural and political processes shaping the contexts for health, the health-related experience of healthcare provision, the development of health care for places, and the innovative methodologies and theories underpinning the study of these issues.The journal publishes original research articles, short communications, opinion papers and reviews relevant to any aspects of health where place is a central theme in the research. It brings together contributors from geography, sociology, social policy, population health science, public health and other related disciplines. The journal also welcomes proposals for special issues - please visit our Special Issues Proposal page to find out more information.We welcome research that offers comparative perspectives on the difference that place makes to the incidence of ill-health, the structuring of health-related behaviour, the provision and use of health services, and the development of health policy. We are interested in submissions informed by a theoretical framework, that inform policy and practice, and of general interest to an international readership.At a time when the role of place is increasingly recognised as being crucial to enhancing population health and reducing health inequity, Health & Place provides a forum for summarizing developments and reporting on the latest research findings. The journal seeks to maintain the highest standards of peer-reviewed excellence, as well as to provide a forum for interdisciplinary debate on the connections between health and place.- ISSN: 1353-8292

Journal of Contextual Behavioral Science
The Journal of Contextual Behavioral Science is the official journal of the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science (ACBS).Contextual Behavioral Science is a systematic and pragmatic approach to the understanding of behavior, the solution of human problems, and the promotion of human growth and development. Contextual Behavioral Science uses functional principles and theories to analyze and modify action embedded in its historical and situational context. The goal is to predict and influence behavior, with precision, scope, and depth, across all behavioral domains and all levels of analysis, so as to help create a behavioral science that is more adequate to the challenge of the human condition.Contextual behavioral science is a strategic approach to the analysis of human behavior that proposes the need for a multi-level (e.g. social factors, neurological factors, behavioral factors) and multi-method (e.g., time series analyses, cross-sectional, experimental) exploration of contextual and manipulable variables relevant to the prediction and influence of human behavior.The journal considers papers relevant to a contextual behavioral approach including:Empirical studies (without topical restriction - e.g., clinical psychology, psychopathology, education, organizational psychology, etc.)Brief reports on preliminary, but still impactful findings (e.g., pilot studies, cross-sectional research on psychological flexibility processes)Reviews (e.g., scoping reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analyses)Concep... and philosophical papers on contextual behavioral sciencePractical innovations (descriptions of practical innovation applying contextual behavioral science)Commentaries... reportsWe are particularly interested in:Papers that examine theories and interventions based in CBS (e.g., process-based therapy, acceptance & commitment therapy, relational frame theory, functional analytic psychotherapy, compassion-focused therapy, etc...) to novel research areas with rigorous methodologies. We currently are especially interested in increasing the number of published articles on basic CBS research and translational research.Papers bridging different approaches (e.g., connecting behavioral approaches with cognitive views; or neurocognitive psychology; or evolutionary science)Papers that challenge a contextual behavioral science approach from an informed perspectivePapers that are written from the perspective of and/or report data collected from diverse, underrepresented, and minoritized individuals.The journal welcomes papers written by researchers, practitioners, and theoreticians from different intellectual traditions. What is distinctive is not a narrowly defined theory or set of applied methods but whether the methodology, conceptualization, or strategy employed is relevant to a contextual behavioral approach.JCBS has been receiving an increasing number of submissions that compete for limited space for publication. A notable portion of submissions to JCBS are cross-sectional survey studies on psychological flexibility-related processes (e.g., validating these measures, testing their relation to mental health and related outcomes). In order to balance research on these topics with other important methodologies and research areas of CBS, we are unfortunately only able to accept especially innovative and rigorous research using cross-sectional survey designs, and typically only when submitted as a brief report.Special IssuesThe Journal welcomes suggestions for Special Issues. Proposals for a themed Special Issue should be sent to the Editor-in-Chief, Baljinder K. Sahdra at baljinder.sahdra@acu... and should include suggested Executive, Advisory or Guest Editors, a proposed call-for-papers, 6-10 provisional authors and topics (specific titles or general areas), a proposed timeline for submission, peer-reviewing, revision and publication. All manuscripts in a special issue will be subject to the normal process of peer-review.- ISSN: 2212-1447

Journal of Economic Psychology
Research in Economic Psychology and Behavioral EconomicsAffiliated with the International Association for Research in Economic PsychologyThe Journal aims to present research that will improve understanding of behavioral, in particular psychological, aspects of economic decisions and processes. It is published under the auspices of the International Association for Research in Economic Psychology whose aim is to promote interdisciplinary work relating to economic behavior. Authors should ensure that their paper adheres to the detailed JOEP Policies and Guidelines set forth by the Editors prior to submission. The Journal seeks to be a channel for the increased interest in using behavioral science methods for the study of economic behavior, and so to contribute to better solutions of societal problems, by stimulating new approaches and new theorizing about economic affairs. Economic psychology as a discipline studies the psychological mechanisms that underlie economic behavior. It deals with decisions (individual or interactive), preferences, judgments, and factors influencing these, as well as the consequences of judgments and decisions for economics and society. Studies in economic psychology usually relate to the individual decision maker's level, though sometimes also address household or group behavior.Historicall... economic psychology has developed as a branch of psychology, while behavioral economics has risen as a sub-field of economics. Consequentially, for example, rationality assumptions have been traditionally avoided in economic psychology. Lately, however these differences are disappearing. We welcome any behavioral economics study to the journal of economic psychology. We also explicitly welcome studies in related domains including neuroeconomics, consumer psychology, voter psychology, and behavioral game theory, as long as they make a strong contribution to the understanding of psychological processes implicated in economic behavior and decisions.Additional... we welcome submissions from traditional areas of economic psychology, including psychological aspects associated with inflation, unemployment, poverty, taxation, economic development, economic literacy, personal finance, and market behavior.The Journal of Economic Psychology contains: (a) Research articles: novel reports of empirical (field or experimental) research with a significant contribution to relevant theory; (b) brief reports: Empirical contributions (e.g., robustness tests), re-examinations and re-analyses, as well as short formal-analytical contributions linked to well-established empirical phenomena; (c) replication studies and (d) extensive reviews of state of the art topics in economic psychology.Special issues of the Journal may be devoted to themes of particular interest. Typically, an open call for proposals for a special issue is announced once per year.- ISSN: 0167-4870
Resources Policy
The International Journal of Minerals Policy and EconomicsResources Policy is an international journal devoted to the economics and policy issues related to mineral and fossil fuel extraction, production and use. The journal content is aimed at individuals in academia, government, and industry. Submissions of original research are invited that analyze issues of public policy, economics, social science, geography and finance in the areas of mining, non-fuel minerals, energy minerals, fossil fuels and metals.Examples of topics covered in the broad discipline of mineral economics include mineral market and price analysis, project evaluation, mining and sustainable development, mineral resource rents and the resource curse, mineral wealth and corruption, mineral taxation and regulation, strategic minerals and their supply, and the impact of mineral development on local communities and/or indigenous populations.Submissi... are also invited on related natural resource topics of interest and importance to the minerals and fossil fuel community, such as sustainability, topics from environmental economics related to mineral production and use, and socio-economic impacts of mineral production and use.The journal DOES NOT publish papers whose primary focus is on agriculture, forestry or fisheries.We aim to publish robust scientific work, so methods should be carefully described and data properly cited. Literature reviews are accepted as long as they provide meaningful insights and a clear contribution to the literature. Case studies are also accepted as long as they contribute to the debate and comprehension of issues of broader significance. Discussion and debate-focused articles without a significant research component are generally not accepted, but they could be considered at the discretion of the Editors.Original research articles (generally 6,000–10,000 words, including references) published in Resources Policy are expected to make a clear and original scholarly contribution to debates in mineral economics, natural resource governance, and resource-related public policy. Such articles should be structured around a clearly articulated research question or analytical puzzle and demonstrate methodological transparency and rigour, whether drawing on qualitative interviews, document and policy analysis, case studies, or quantitative data. Contributions may advance or refine conceptual or theoretical frameworks, introduce new empirical insights, or offer systematic comparative analysis, but they should move beyond descriptive accounts to provide analytically grounded and policy-relevant findings.Perspective... (generally 4,000–6,000 words, including references) offer shorter, more interpretive contributions that engage directly with contemporary issues shaping resource policy and mineral governance. These papers are intended to be agenda-setting rather than exhaustive, and may critically examine emerging concepts, dominant narratives, policy shifts, geopolitical developments, or market disruptions relevant to the resources sector. While Perspectives are afforded greater flexibility in scope, method, and tone than full research articles, arguments should remain analytically grounded, clearly structured, and situated within relevant literatures, with the aim of stimulating informed debate among scholars, policymakers, and practitioners.- ISSN: 0301-4207
Eating Behaviors

Global Finance Journal
The Global Finance Journal publishes high quality original research in financial economics with a focus on global financial markets, international financial systems, and financial mechanisms with cross border relevance. The journal seeks contributions that advance understanding of how individuals, firms and financial markets operate in an increasingly integrated global economy.The journal welcomes research addressing important questions in financial economics, including the valuation of financial assets, corporate financial decisions, the functioning of financial institutions and markets, and the transmission of risk and capital across countries and regions.Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:Asset pricing and global cost of capital Corporate finance, capital structure, payout policy, mergers and acquisitionsBanking, financial intermediation, and central bankingCredit markets and fixed income securitiesInternatio... finance, exchange rates, and capital flowsFinancial market regulation and systemic stabilityRisk management, derivatives, and hedgingMarket microstructure and trading dynamicsEnergy, commodities, and real estate financeFinancial innovation, digital finance, and fintechBehavioral and experimental financeSustainable and climate related financeInstitutional investors and global asset allocationThe journal welcomes research employing theoretical modelling, rigorous empirical identification, structural estimation, experiments, AI and machine learning methods, and innovative data sources that generate economically meaningful and preferably policy relevant insights.Submissions should demonstrate methodological rigor and a clear and original contribution to financial economics. Studies based on single country data are welcome when they provide insights that are broadly informative for financial markets, institutions, or policies beyond the specific institutional setting of a single jurisdiction. Purely descriptive analyses, narrowly institutional case studies without broader implications, and work outside the domain of finance are generally not considered.Editorial VisionThe Global Finance Journal is dedicated to being a premier outlet for research that deepens our collective understanding of financial markets and institutions within an increasingly integrated global economy. Today’s financial landscape is defined by the complex interplay of cross-border capital flows, rapid technological shifts, regulatory transitions, and shifting investor behaviour. Our mission is to publish rigorous research that illuminates these forces and explores their consequences for asset pricing, corporate finance, corporate governance, financial intermediation, and financial stability.We prioritize research that examines globally relevant financial mechanisms - whether through the lens of international datasets, comparative institutional analysis, or insights that extend beyond a single market. We welcome both theoretical and empirical contributions that leverage modern research methods, including structural modelling, experimental design, AI and machine learning, and the application of large-scale or alternative data sources.Above all, the journal serves as a vital bridge between academic inquiry and the practical realities of finance. By championing research that combines methodological rigor with real-world economic impact, the Global Finance Journal aims to advance the field of financial economics and to inform debates on financial policy, market design, and financial innovation.Equally central to the journal’s mission is a strong commitment to research integrity, transparency, and ethical scholarship. Submissions are expected to adhere to the highest standards of academic conduct, including appropriate disclosure of data sources, transparent reporting of empirical methods, and full acknowledgement of prior work. Authors are encouraged, where feasible, to facilitate reproducibility and replicability through clear documentation of data construction, empirical procedures, and computational methods. The journal supports the broader movement in financial economics toward greater reproducibility, methodological transparency, and responsible use of data and research tools, including emerging computational techniques. Through these principles, the Global Finance Journal aims to promote research that is not only methodologically rigorous and intellectually innovative, but also transparent, credible, and valuable to the global finance research community.- ISSN: 1044-0283

Human Resource Management Review
Conceptual Development for Future ResearchThe Human Resource Management Review (HRMR) is a quarterly academic journal devoted to the publication of scholarly conceptual/theoretic... articles pertaining to human resource management and allied fields (e.g. industrial/organizat... psychology, human capital, labor relations, organizational behavior). HRMR welcomes manuscripts that focus on micro-, macro-, or multi-level phenomena relating to the function and processes of human resource management. HRMR publishes articles that provide new insights aimed at stimulating future theory development and empirical research. Critical examinations of existing concepts, theories models, and frameworks are also welcome as are quantitative meta-analytical reviews that make a conceptual/theoretic... contribution.Subject areas appropriate for HRMR include (but are not limited to) Strategic Human Resource Management, International Human Resource Management, the nature and role of the human resource function in organizations, any specific Human Resource function or activity (e.g., Job Analysis, Job Design, Workforce Planning, Recruitment, Selection and Placement, Performance and Talent Management, Reward Systems, Training, Development, Careers, Safety and Health, Diversity, Fairness, Discrimination, Employment Law, Employee Relations, Labor Relations, Workforce Metrics, HR Analytics, HRM and Technology, Social issues and HRM, Separation and Retention), topics that influence or are influenced by human resource management activities (e.g., Climate, Culture, Change, Leadership and Power, Groups and Teams, Employee Attitudes and Behavior, Individual, team, and/or Organizational Performance), and HRM Research Methods. Papers introducing or helping to advance our understanding of emergent HR topics or issues are also strongly encouraged.HRMR does not consider manuscripts that report qualitative or quantitative studies that test hypotheses or inductively examine ideas. In addition, conceptual papers and meta-analyses that do not sufficiently advance the literature in terms of providing novel insights for further theoretical development and empirical research will not be considered. Moreover, in its quest to foster the development of general theories and models, HRMR does not consider papers that deal with a single occupation, company, industry or country, nor cases of these entities (a single company, industry, etc. can be used as the primary example, but should not be the only example and the insights of the paper must be generalizable beyond that primary example). Finally, as a scholarly journal, manuscripts written primarily for practicing managers are also not considered. Submissions of these types of papers will be rejected as being outside the scope of the journal, unless requested as part of a special issue. The Editor and Associate Editors will provide an initial editorial review to determine whether submissions fall within the scope of the journal and/or are of sufficient merit to warrant peer review.- ISSN: 1053-4822

Computers & Operations Research
Computers & Operations Research is a privileged forum for state-of-the-art work exploring the theory and practice of Operations Research (OR) intertwined with advanced computational methodologies. The journal publishes high-quality innovative and impactful research articles in theories, modeling, algorithms, and applications of Operations Research.Since its first volume was printed in 1974, the journal has promoted different OR application areas that include but are not limited to Transportation, Logistics, Manufacturing, and Supply Chain Management. The journal has also triggered new trends in OR models and techniques such as Data Analytics, Decision-making under Uncertainty, and Behavioral OR. A strong focus has been put on recent advances in Statistics, Data Science, and Machine Learning.The form, content, and language of the articles should take cognizance of the breadth of applications covered by OR and of the consequent fact that many readers may not be experts in the scientific field to which the computer and operations research techniques are applied by the author. In particular, the abstract should concisely describe:1. the investigated problem(s), 2. the theoretical or methodological contribution, and 3. the insights.The journal is structured around seven major areas which, nonetheless, are not disjointed:Transport... and Supply Chains; Production and Scheduling; Decision-Making under Uncertainty and Data Analytics; Optimization—Exact Methods; Optimization—Approxi... Methods; Machine Learning and Data Science. The journal also publishes state-of-the-art surveys and best practice guides in Analytics, Operations Research, and Management Science. These articles are printed in a special section, “Surveys in Operations Research and Management Science”. Submissions can focus on theory or applications of OR/MS and can be of several types, including but not limited to: 1. Results that are considered standards by experts in the community but which have not been documented in textbooks; 2. Standard results which have been, in some way, streamlined, such as, for example, new proof techniques leading to more elegant derivations of known results; 3. New developments in methodology or new application areas ('hot topics'). A survey should be critical with respect to the existing knowledge and should focus on computational and algorithmic aspects. The journal publishes focused issues on topics of interest related to its editorial mission. Such issues typically contain between six and twelve articles. They are put together within an eighteen-month period under the responsibility of one or several guest editors. Prospective guest editors are encouraged to contact the Editor-in-chief.Full... reproducible results are core for papers accepted for publication in the journal. Hence, authors should grant full access to the data and codes underlying their work. Further information on different possibilities to accomplish this can be found at https://www.scienced... Best Paper AwardEvery year, the journal’s editors select one paper to receive the “CAOR Annual Best Paper Award”. The paper will be made free-to-view for one year, thus receiving privileged visibility. The winning and the runner-up papers will also be highlighted on the website in the “Editor’s Choice” section, staying there for one year.Further Information for authorsIt is the responsibility of the authors to ensure that the submitted manuscripts are written using proper English, that possible grammatical or spelling errors are eliminated and that the text conforms to correct scientific English. Submissions that do not satisfy these criteria may be rejected without being sent to reviewers.All full-length research papers published in the journal must demonstrate constructive algorithmic complexity and extensive numerical experiments. Numerical illustrations (examples) are not sufficient: the numerical experiments must have a scientific value of their own, particularly with comparisons to other approaches. The use of real-world data is also valued. In CAOR, (meta)Heuristics other than well-established algorithms such as evolutionary algorithms or ant colony optimization must be described in metaphor-free language. This is a way to ensure that they are immediately comparable to existing algorithms. The Harvard style is adopted in the journal for the bibliography. Authors should consider this while preparing their manuscripts, especially when preparing tables and charts involving bibliography references.The highly innovative contributions targeted by the journal prevent it from endorsing papers that present long and unsolvable formulations for variants or extensions of existing problems and then resort to a well-established approximate method to find approximate solutions. CAOR does not endorse papers emerging in the context of warfare activities planning. The authors working in that and related fields should look for specialized journals.- ISSN: 0305-0548
Transport Policy
The official journal of the World Conference on Transport Research Society (WCTRS)Transport Policy is an international refereed journal aimed at improving quality of transport policy and strategy analysis, designing and sharing innovative policy and management practices, and application bridging the gap between theory and practice in transport. Its subject areas reflect the concerns of policymakers in government, management strategists in industry, and the public at large, providing independent, original and rigorous analysis to understand how policy and strategy decisions have been made, monitor their effects, and suggest how they may be improved.Transport Policy covers the entire transport sector including all modes: air, maritime, urban, intercity, domestic and international transport economics, policy and strategy issues, etc. Policy and strategy concerns in transport are wide and cover safety, efficiency, economic development, infrastructure, environment, energy, land-use, equity and access. Papers are expected to have clear policy and strategy relevance, to analyze/evaluate transport policies and strategies using up-to-date research methods (both quantitative and qualitative). Papers are also welcomed which focus on understanding the nature and influences affecting policy and strategy change, including technical, attitudinal, institutional, structural and political constraints, including those which provide a comparative analysis. Papers focusing only on methodological development without clear policy focus and relevance will NOT be considered. However, we welcome qualitative policy papers that build on the body of literature, and show clear contributions over and above what exist in the literature, and/or widely applicable to other jurisdictions. (Qualitative papers will NOT be considered if the author(s) advocate certain policy positions without presenting a rigorous framework of analysis.) Papers that focus entirely on individual case studies are more appropriate for our sister journal Case Studies in Transport Policy.AUDIENCE: Local, national and international government agencies and their advisers, responsible for transport policy implementation; academics and researchers involved in teaching and analysis; managers and analysts in the transport industries responsible for strategy formulation and evaluation; activists in the voluntary sector, charities and campaigning groups; students of transport studies, economics, business studies, engineering, geography, planning, sociology and environmental studies- ISSN: 0967-070X
