Limnology is a scientific journal published three times a year, in January, April, and August, by Springer in association with the Japanese Society of Limnology. The editors welcome original scientific contributions on physical, chemical, biological, or related research, including environmental issues, on any aspect of theoretical or applied limnology. The journal publishes research papers, notes, review articles, Asia/Oceania reports, and comments.   The aims and scope of Limnology are to publish scientific and/or technical papers in limnology, to serve as a platform for information dissemination among scientists and practitioners, to enhance international links, and to contribute to the development of linmology, especially in Asia and Oceania.

Linguistics and Philosophy focuses on issues related to structure and meaning in natural language, as addressed in the semantics, philosophy of language, pragmatics and related disciplines, in particular the following areas:

philosophical theories of meaning and truth, reference, description, entailment, presupposition, implicatures, context-dependence, and speech acts

linguistic theories of semantic interpretation in relation to syntactic structure and prosody, of discourse structure, lexcial semantics and semantic change

psycholinguistic theories of semantic interpretation and issues of the processing and acquisition of natural language, and the relation of semantic interpretation to other cognitive faculties

mathematical and logical properties of natural language and general aspects of computational linguistics

philosophical questions raised by linguistics as a science.

It publishes articles, replies, book reviews and review articles.

Lipids in Health and Disease is ready to receive manuscripts on all aspects of lipids in health and disease.

Lithology and Mineral Resources (Litologiya i poleznye iskopaemye) reviews a wide range of problems related to the formation of sedimentary rocks and ores. Special attention is devoted to comparison of ancient sedimentary rock and ore formation with present-day processes, as the idea of actualism has always constituted one of the bases of the scientific philosophy of lithologists. A major part of the journal is devoted to comparative analysis of sedimentary processes on continents and in oceans, as well as the genetic aspects of the formation of sedimentary and hydrothermal-sedimentary mineral resources. The journal was founded in 1963 by Academician N. M. Strakhov. It will be of interest to lithologists, petrographers, geochemists, mineralogists, ore geologists and metallogenists, as well as to other geologists, ecologists, researchers of experimental and analytical laboratories, and graduate students.

The Lithuanian Mathematical Journal publishes high-quality original papers mainly in pure mathematics. This multidisciplinary quarterly journal provides mathematicians and researchers in other areas of science with a peer-reviewed forum for the exchange of vital ideas in the field of mathematics.Coverage includes:probability theory and statisticsdifferential equations (theory and numerical methods)number theoryfinancial and actuarial mathematics, econometrics. The journal features research papers from those whose work is related to the advances being made by Lithuanian mathematicians.

The Liverpool Law Review is a tri-annual journal of contemporary domestic, European and international legal and social policy issues. The Journal aims to provide articles, commentaries and reviews across a wide range of theoretical and practical legal and social policy matters - including public law, private law, civil and criminal justice, international law, ethics and legal theory. The Journal has many international subscribers and regularly publishes important contributions from the U.K. and abroad. Articles and commentaries are published with sufficient speed to ensure that they are truly current.

Living Reviews in Relativity is a solely WWW-based, peer reviewed journal, publishing as the name suggests, reviews of research in all areas of relativity. The journal is offered as a free service to the scientific community. Articles are solicited from specialists in their fields and are directed toward physicists at the graduate student level and beyond. Articles appearing in Living Reviews provide current and insightful overviews of what's happening in the fields they cover as well as annotated insights (and where possible, active links) into the key literature and online resources pertaining to these fields. One of the most important features of Living Reviews is that its articles are kept up to date by their authors. This is the significance of the word "Living" in the journal's title.With high quality, easily navigable, current editorial content, and with meaningful indexing of print and electronic resources, Living Reviews will develop into an information system researchers can use to follow and to learn more about the status of investigations in relativity. Living Reviews intends to become one of the first places a scientist looks for information about work in the fields covered by the journal. Recognizing that many respectable electronic efforts are already in progress, Living Reviews complements, rather than replicates, existing WWW physics resources. Living Reviews achieves this by providing refereed, expertly written articles which frame and link the resources that are most valuable in understanding current relativity research.

Living Reviews in Solar Physics is an exclusively web-based, peer-reviewed journal, publishing reviews of research in all areas of solar and heliospheric physics. Articles are solicited from leading authorities and are intended for physicists at or above the graduate-student level. The articles in Living Reviews provide up-to-date critical reviews of the state of research in the fields they cover. Articles also offer annotated insights (and where possible, active links) into the key literature and describe online resources available in these fields. Living Reviews is unique in maintaining a suite of high-quality reviews; its articles are subjected to strict peer-review and are kept up-to-date by the authors. This is the meaning of the word "Living" in the journal's title. Living Reviews in Solar Physics is the second Living Reviews journal following Living Reviews in Relativity , which is now online in it's sixth year.
