Journal Guide

The primary aim of Philosophy of Translation is to provide a forum for research into the interface between philosophy and translation. The journal adopts a plural methodology: rather than establishing another subfield within the academic domain of philosophy, it fosters philosophical research on translation in various fields through inter- and transdisciplinary approaches.

Working at the intersection between philosophy, which has a long history in many cultures, and translation studies, which is a relatively recent and ever-developing discipline, Philosophy of Translation offers the opportunity for pioneering insights into the nature of both fields. The enquiry is timely and offers exciting possibilities, because this is the first journal primarily concerned with the philosophy of translation.

Since translation experience accompanied by theoretical reflections should constitute one of the pillars in the development of philosophies of translation, the journal will also provide a platform for contributions from translators concerning their or others’ translations, and in this way reassess the figure of translators and their praxis.

Philosophy of the Social Sciences (POS), peer-reviewed and published quarterly, has served as the international, interdisciplinary forum for current research, theory, and debate on the philosophical foundations of the social sciences for 40 years. POS focuses on the central issues of the social sciences, including general methodology, the application of philosophy (especially individualism versus holism), the nature of rationality, and the history of theories and concepts.

Philosophy, Ethics, and Humanities in Medicine is ready to accept articles on the philosophy of medicine and biology, and on ethical aspects of clinical practice and research.

Philosophy, Psychiatry, & Psychology (PPP) focuses on the area of overlap among philosophy, psychiatry, and abnormal psychology. The journal advances philosophical inquiry in psychiatry and abnormal psychology while making clinical material and theory more accessible to philosophers. Each issue features both original and review articles, a "Concurrent Contents" section that lists relevant publications, and a newly expanded "International News and Notes" section.

Phlebology is the only English language journal devoted entirely to venous disease and is officially endorsed by the American College of Phlebology. This peer-reviewed journal publishes the results of high quality studies and reviews on any factor that may influence the outcome of patients with venous disease. Readers benefit from authoritative information about all aspects of diseases of the veins and the subject matter is of interest not only to medical practitioners (dermatologists, vascular surgeons and radiologists) but also to nursing staff, allied professionals and scientists. Content includes reviews, full original papers, short reports and letters to the editor.

PHOENIX encourages submissions in English and in French from Canadian and foreign scholars in every area of Classical studies without restriction, including most notably Greek and Latin literature, Greek and Roman history and society, ancient philosophy, and Classical art and archaeology. PHOENIX is published by the University of Toronto Press for the Classical Association of Canada.

Research into spoken language has become increasingly accessible to instrumental analysis and experimental verification. They are the underpinning of Phonetic Science for the investigation of speech in communicative settings across the world’s languages. Reflecting this communicative Phonetic Science, 'Phonetica' is an international and interdisciplinary forum that covers all aspects of the subject matter, from the phonetic and phonological descriptions of sounds and prosodies to the measuring domains of speech physiology, articulation, acoustics, and perception. 'Phonetica' thus provides a platform for a comprehensive representation of speaker-hearer interaction in languages and dialects. Papers published in this journal report expert original work dealing both with theoretical issues and with new empirical data.

Phosphorus, Sulfur, and Silicon and the Related Elements welcomes submissions involving the organic, inorganic, and biochemistry of phosphorus (including arsenic, antimony, and bismuth), sulfur (including selenium and tellurium), and silicon (including germanium and tin). In addition to research describing new chemistry of a particular element, especially welcome are presentations emphasizing relationships between elements and families of elements: for example, research comparing synthetic, mechanistic, or structural features providing new insight leading to a more rapid advance of science in these areas. Original articles, communications, and selected reviews of broad interest will be considered for publication. Manuscripts may include illustrative material in color if this will enhance the presentation. Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

The aim of the Photoacoustics journal (PACS) is to publish original research and review contributions within the fast growing field of photoacoustics (optoacoustics) and thermoacoustics, which exploits optically and electromagnetically excited acoustical and thermal phenomena for visualization and characterization of a variety of materials and biological tissues, including living organisms. While some of the spectroscopic and photothermal applications have reached a mature state, many other research directions experience an explosive growth, in particular biomedical photoacoustics, which is currently considered the fastest growing bio-imaging modality. The wealth of investigated topics clearly indicates that this field has developed a broad range of tools for fundamental and applied research. The enormous recent progress is greatly supported by the advances in laser technologies, ultrasound detection approaches, development of inverse theory and fast reconstruction algorithms. This progress is also driven by a large number of unmet biological and medical needs that can be addressed by the unique contrast mechanisms available to photoacoustic (optoacoustic) methods. These include pre-clinical research and clinical imaging of vasculature, tissue and disease physiology, drug efficacy and treatment monitoring, optical anatomy and molecular imaging employing fluorochromes, chromophores and nanoparticles. Correspondingly applications span the entire range of biological and medical imaging including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, neuroimaging, ophthalmology or imaging in immunology, diabetes and obesity, cell trafficking application and a multitude of other biological functions. The multi-disciplinarily nature of photoacoustics and thermoacoustics is also evinced by the growing contribution from chemistry and nanotechnology where a multitude of novel contrast materials and agents have been constantly developed, from nanoparticles and organic dyes, to targeted agents and genetically expressed markers.
