Scientific and Technical Information Processing iis a refereed journal, that covers all aspects of the management and use of information technology in libraries and archives, information centres, and the information industry in general. Emphasis is on practical applications of new technologies and techniques for information analysis and processing.

Scientometrics is concerned with the quantitative features and characteristics of science and scientific research. Emphasis is placed on investigations in which the development and mechanism of science are studied by statistical mathematical methods. The journal publishes original studies, short communications, preliminary reports, review papers, letters to the editor and book reviews on scientometrics. Due to its fully interdisciplinary character, the journal is indispensable to research workers and research administrators . It provides valuable assistance to librarians and documentalists in central scientific agencies, ministries, research institutes and laboratories. Scientometrics includes the Journal of Research Communication Studies. Consequently its aims and scope cover that of the latter, namely, to bring the results of such investigations together in one place.

Security Informatics is a peer-reviewed open access journal published under the brand SpringerOpen. Intelligence and Security Informatics (ISI) is defined as the 'development of advanced information technologies, systems, algorithms, and databases for international, national and homeland security related applications, through an integrated technological, organizational, and policy-based approach' (Chen 2006). The Security Informatics journal will publish peer-reviewed articles in areas relevant to ISI research, from the perspectives of Information Technology/ Informatics and related policy considerations. Paper selection will focus on articles that present innovative research ideas and results, report significant application case studies, provide tutorial surveys, and raise awareness of pressing research and application challenges.In addition to publishing the highest-quality original security informatics research, Security Informatics is also intended to serve as a bridge between security researchers and practitioners, including both related government agencies and the growing IT-related security industry. The journal provides an excellent opportunity to reach out to an international audience of security-related academic researchers, industry practitioners, and government IT managers and policy makers.

The Security Journal is a dynamic publication that keeps you informed about the latest developments and techniques in security management. Written in an accessible style, it is the world's premier peer-reviewed journal for today's security researcher and professional. The journal is affiliated to ASIS International and has an advisory board which includes representatives from major associations, expert practitioners and leading academics. The Security Journal publishes papers at the cutting edge in developing ideas and improving practice, focusing on the latest research findings on all aspects of security. Regular features include personal opinions and informed comment on key issues in security, as well as incisive reviews of books, videos and official reports.

Selecta Mathematica, New Series  is a peer-reviewed journal addressed to a wide mathematical audience. It accepts well-written high quality papers in all areas of pure mathematics, and selected areas of applied mathematics. The journal especially encourages submission of papers which have the potential of opening new perspectives.

Publishes the most important work in semiconductor research in the countries of the former Soviet Union. Covers semiconductor theory, transport phenomena in semiconductors, optics, magnetooptics, and electrooptics of semiconductors, semiconductor lasers and semiconductor surface physics. The journal features an extensive book review section.

This journal serves as a platform for the speedy and efficient transmission of information on current research in semigroup theory. Coverage in the journal includes: algebraic semigroups, topological semigroups, partially ordered semigroups, semigroups of measures and harmonic analysis on semigroups, transformation semigroups, semigroups of operators, and applications of semigroup theory to other disciplines such as ring theory, category theory, automata, and logic. Semigroup Forum features survey and research articles. It also contains research announcements, which describe new results, mostly without proofs, of full length papers appearing elsewhere as well as short notes, which detail such information as new proofs, significant generalizations of known facts, comments on unsolved problems, and historical remarks. In addition, the journal contains research problems; announcements of conferences, seminars, and symposia on semigroup theory; abstracts and bibliographical items; as well as listings of books, pa

Seminars in Immunopathology helps clinicians and pathologists keep up-to-date on developments in the field of immunopathology. Guest editors help to organize issues devoted to a single topic. Review articles, by authors who have personally contributed to the topic, summarize new developments. Key references appear at the end of each paper, to provide interested readers with additional background material.

The aim of Service-Oriented Computing & Applications is to publish original and high quality research results on the service-oriented computing (SOC) paradigm, models and technologies that have significant contributions to the advancement of service oriented systems and their applications. Service-oriented computing has emerged as a major research topic in the past few years. Although the concept has evolved from earlier component-based software frameworks, web service standards are based on the readily and openly available internet protocols, and thus are easier and cheaper for companies to adopt. The strong support from major computer and IT service companies further speeds up the acceptance and adoption of SOC. However, service developers and users face many significant challenges and opportunities that are introduced by the dynamism of software service environments and requirements. This requires new concepts, methods, models, and technologies along with flexible and adaptive infrastructure for services developments and management in order to facilitate the on-demand integration and formation of services across different platforms and organizations. The success of service-oriented systems relies on the adoption of the derived technologies to meet the demands from the evolving environment. The journal focuses on the issues and research results related to the development of service-oriented technology, including service infrastructures, theoretical foundations and their applications and experiences in service-oriented computing. Topics covered by the journal include, but are not limited to, the following subjects as they relate to service-oriented computing and applications: Service-Oriented Architecture Services analysis, design, development and test Service orchestration and composition <, /LI> Resource management for web services Quality and reliability of web services Service-Oriented Software Engineering Formal methods for services analysis, design, development, and test Service requirement engineering SOA solution patterns Services matching and policy Verification and validation of SOA systems Quality and reliability of web services System Technology Security, trust and privacy QoS and end-to-end performance Web service standards Autonomic computing IP and digital right management Brokering and integration Service connection technology Grid-based web services Business Services and Technology Business service representation and knowledge Business process integration and management Supply chain and channel management Auction Negotiation E-business standards Service-Oriented Semantic Computing Semantic web Software agent Service discovery Ontological engineering Service evolutionary approaches Service-Oriented Applications E-business and e-commerce M-commerce E-entertainment E-learning E-government E-health
