Integrative Cancer Therapies (ICT) has been accepted by ISI. An impact factor will be released in the 2008 Journal Citation Reports®. Read the press release here.ICT is the first journal to spearhead and focus on a new and growing movement in cancer treatment. The journal emphasizes scientific understanding of alternative medicine and traditional medicine therapies, and their responsible integration with conventional health care. Integrative care includes therapeutic interventions in diet, lifestyle, exercise, stress care, and nutritional supplements, as well as experimental vaccines, chrono-chemotherapy, and other advanced treatments. Contributors are leading oncologists, researchers, nurses, and health-care professionals.The journal presents scientifically rigorous original research, case studies, current literature reviews, educational roundtables, and commentary on key topics such as: * Treatment strategies * Evaluations of current therapies * Models for integrating complementary and conventional treatment in clinical practice * Interventions from alternative and traditional medicine * Implementing quality-of-life assessment and counseling in the clinical setting * Cancer rehabilitation during and following cancer treatments * Potential interactions of cancer chemotherapy drugs with frequently used dietary supplements * Implementing integrative cancer care strategies into oncology practice * Relevant molecular mechanisms and biology behind integrative approaches * Impact of timing of chemotherapy administration on toxicity, response, and outcome .

Intelligent Data Analysis provides a forum for the examination of issues related to the research and applications of Artificial Intelligence techniques in data analysis across a variety of disciplines. These techniques include (but are not limited to): all areas of data visualization, data pre-processing (fusion, editing, transformation, filtering, sampling), data engineering, database mining techniques, tools and applications, use of domain knowledge in data analysis, evolutionary algorithms, machine learning, neural nets, fuzzy logic, statistical pattern recognition, knowledge filtering, and post-processing. In particular, papers are preferred that discuss development of new AI related data analysis architectures, methodologies, and techniques and their applications to various domains.Papers published in this journal are geared heavily towards applications, with an anticipated split of 70% of the papers published being applications-oriented, research and the remaining 30% containing more theoretical research.

International Area Studies Review (IASR) is the quarterly peer-reviewed publication of the Center for International Area Studies at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Seoul, and the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO).

International Communication Gazette is a leading peer-reviewed journal that publishes quality articles from the international community of communication researchers. Rigorously peer-reviewed, it encourages approaches that are interdisciplinary, comparative and sensitive to cultural pluralism. The journal is edited by Cees J. Hamelink.

International Criminal Justice Review (ICJR), peer-reviewed and published quarterly, is dedicated to presenting system-wide trends and problems on crime and justice worldwide. ICJR provides a forum for social scientists to report research findings for policy making with respect to crime and justice through innovative and advanced methodologies. The journal provides a comparative and international overview of law, crime and justice from a cross-cultural perspective.

Aeroacoustics is a growing area and has received fresh emphasis due to advances in air, ground and space transportation. Significant advances in aeroacoustics are required for reducing community and cabin noise from subsonic aircraft and to prepare for the possible large scale entry of supersonic aircraft into civil aviation. The use of high thrust producing engines on military aircraft has raised numerous concerns about exposure of aircraft carrier personnel and sonic fatigue failure of aircraft structures. In the ground transportation arena efforts are currently under way to minimize the aerodynamic noise from automobiles and high speed trains. Finally, space launch vehicle noise if uncontrolled can cause serious structural damage to the spacecraft and payload. In addition, with the proliferation of space flight, launch vehicle noise can also become a significant environmental issue. It has become increasingly important to address all of the above noise issues in order to minimize the noise impact of advances in transportation. New research needs to be conducted and effectively communicated, in order to meet higher levels of noise certification and to pre-empt further regulatory burdens.

The aim of the International Journal of Applied Electromagnetics and Mechanics is to contribute to intersciences coupling applied electromagnetics, mechanics and materials. The journal also intends to stimulate the further development of current technology in industry. The main subjects covered by the journal are:* Physics and mechanics of electromagnetic materials and devices;* Computational electromagnetic in materials and devices;* Applications of electromagnetic fields and forces.The three interrelated key subjects - materials, electromagnetics and mechanics - include the following aspects: control, micromachines, intelligent structure, inverse problem, eddy current analysis, electromagnetic NDE, magnetic materials, magnetoelastic effects in materials, bioelectromagnetics, magnetosolid mechanics, magnetic levitations, applied physics of superconductors, superconducting magnet technology, superconducting propulsion system, nuclear fusion reactor components and wave propagation in electromagnetic fields.The editorial policy is to combine information and experience from both the latest high technology fields and the well-established technologies within applied electromagnetics and mechanics.The editors hope to furtherly enhance the theoretical framework for our field from the interaction of old and new concepts. In order to assist readers to quickly grasp the current status of research in a specific area of applied electromagnetics and mechanics, both contributed and invited papers are published in special and thematic issues as well as regular issues.

The International Journal of Behavioral Development (IJBD) promotes the discovery, dissemination and application of knowledge about developmental processes at all stages of the life span - infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age. The Journal is already the leading international outlet devoted to reporting interdisciplinary research on behavioural development, and is now, in response to the rapidly developing fields of behavioural genetics, neuroscience and developmental psychopathology, seeking to expand its scope to these and other related new domains of scholarship.
