Journal Guide

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.JCBS welcomes contextual behavioral analyses of phenomena that are relevant to the aims and scope of the society's mission, which is to change behavior at an individual or cultural level, to alleviate human suffering, and to advance human wellbeing. JCBS is also 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. In addition it places a strong emphasis in theory development and the promotion of effective practices that link back to scientific principles.The journal considers papers relevant to a contextual behavioral approach include empirical studies (without topical restriction - e.g., clinical psychology, psychopathology, education, organizational psychology, etc.), reviews (systematic reviews and meta-analyses are preferred), and conceptual and philosophical papers on contextual behavioral science. We are particularly interested in papers emphasizing the study of core behavioral processes that are relevant to a broad range of human problems, and thus not limited to certain populations. Conceptual papers selected for publication may address a broad range of topics but generally will focus on contextual and functional variables or the philosophical analysis of contextual behavioral science. Papers that challenge a contextual behavioral science approach are always welcome. Papers bridging different approaches (e.g., connecting behavioral approaches with cognitive views; or neurocognitive psychology; or evolutionary science) are particularly encouraged.The journal publishes 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.

Gesunde Pflanzen (Healthy Plants) publishes practical contributions to the study of plant protection in agriculture, forestry, horticulture and public land and its implications for the environmental and consumer protection and legal issues. Topics ranges from measures and procedures to reduce the risk of infection, to the development and application of non-chemical and chemical control strategies and procedures, to the impact of plant protection to the environment, securing food and general issues such as benefits and risks and to the development of new technologies. Each issue presents original contributions of renowned scientists, the latest information from organizations and the industry, press releases and personalities.

The Journal of Culinary Science & Technology aims to communicate the vital issues, latest developments, and thinking on the science and technology behind meal planning, preparation, processing, and service for a global consuming public. These issues relate to food management in a variety of settings that include culinary-related operations, food production, food product development, restaurant management and other foodservice ventures.It is the Journal's intention to encourage an interchange among culinary professionals, food scientists and technologists, research chefs, foodservice managers, educators and researchers.Contributors are encouraged to identify the practical implications of their work for food operations, promoting and evaluating food knowledge, the science of alcohol, examining changing trends and attitudes, healthy eating lifestyles, innovation management, and enhancing and developing practical culinary skills.It is the Journal of Culinary Science & Technology's policy to use a 'double-blind review' procedure for the evaluation of all articles. Therefore, the reviewers and the author(s) are not identified to each other.Scope/Coverage*Culinary innovation*Blurring lines between food technology and culinary arts*Issues and trends related to human nutrition*The collaboration between food science and culinary innovation*Techniques and technology and their role in quality of life/guest satisfaction associated with culinary, wine and food experiences*Trends in molecular gastronomy and its derivates*Annual review of trends in culinary science and technology*Applied research*Relevant research notes*Management styles, methods and principles*Techniques and innovationsThe Journal of Culinary Science & Technology also contains featured sections for research notes, book reviews, and new developments.

The Journal of Ethnic Foods is dedicated to provide reliable information about people’s consumption of food, as well as the superiority or creativity developed from the long-term accumulated traditional understanding and knowledge in foods. The superiority and creativity of food cannot be fully understood and appreciated from food ingredients and nutrition. It has to be viewed also from other aspects, such as culture, ecology, history and environment. It is recommended to the authors to cover these areas in the manuscript. It could be demonstrated by various approaches such as biological, nutritional, epidemiological, ecological, or cultural anthropological research. The journal covers foods from different geographic areas across continents, including ethnic foods. The journal ultimately focuses on topics which contributes to health and long life, or topics with academic value. The journal welcomes review articles in the above mentioned fields, especially those highlighting the multidisciplinary nature of the ethnic food.
