Journal Guide

The series Advances in Polymer Science presents critical reviews of the present and future trends in polymer and biopolymer science. It covers all areas of research in polymer and biopolymer science including chemistry, physical chemistry, physics, material science. The thematic volumes are addressed to scientists, whether at universities or in industry, who wish to keep abreast of the important advances in the covered topics. Advances in Polymer Science enjoys a longstanding tradition and good reputation in its community. Each volume is dedicated to a current topic, and each review critically surveys one aspect of that topic, to place it within the context of the volume. The volumes typically summarize the significant developments of the last 5 to 10 years and discuss them critically, presenting selected examples, explaining and illustrating the important principles, and bringing together many important references of primary literature. On that basis, future research directions in the area can be discussed. Advances in Polymer Science volumes thus are important references for every polymer scientist, as well as for other scientists interested in polymer science - as an introduction to a neighboring field, or as a compilation of detailed information for the specialist. Review articles for the individual volumes are invited by the volume editors. Single contributions can be specially commissioned. Readership: Polymer scientists, or scientists in related fields interested in polymer and biopolymer science, at universities or in industry, graduate students.

Advances in Polymer Technology , a quarterly peer-reviewed journal edited under the auspices of the Polymer Processing Institute, presents important developments in polymeric materials, production and processing methods, and equipment and product design. In addition to original articles on trends and advances in polymer technology, the editors welcome review articles, technico-economic studies, and patent reviews, as well as short communications on new processing and product technologies for plastics, elastomers, and other polymers. Examples are technologies for reactive processing, multiphase polymer systems, simulation of processing and product design, recycling and degradation, on-line rheological, morphological, and compositional measurements, and specialty polymers for specific applications. Submissions should be directed to the Editor, Dr. Theodore Davidson, Polymer Processing Institute, Suite 3901, Guttenberg Building, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, NJ 07102-1982, or to the Editor - Europe, Dr. Leno Mascia, Loughborough University, Institute of Polymer Technology and Materials Engineering, Loughborough, Leics, LE11 3TU, UK.

Advances in Preventive Medicine is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes original research articles, review articles, and clinical studies in all areas of preventive medicine.

Launching in mid-2025,the fully open access Advances in Psychological Science Open (APSO) will be the seventh title in the APS journal portfolio.  

APSO will publish high-quality conceptual, theoretical, technical, and empirical articles and theoretical reviews across the full range of areas and topics in psychological science. Submission of integrative and interdisciplinary research is encouraged. APSO will be an online-only, continuous publication journal, and authors will be able to express themselves in a variety of formats, including longer-form empirical and theoretical articles and short reports. 

• Clinical trial reports and reanalyses.
• Basic science original reports.
• Manuscripts examining health services research, comparative and cost effectiveness research, and systematic reviews.
• Case reports documenting unusual problems and solutions.
• High quality multi and single institutional series, as well as other novel retrospective hypothesis generating series.
• Timely critical reviews on important topics in radiation oncology, such as side effects.
• Articles reporting the natural history of disease and patterns of failure, particularly as they relate to treatment volume delineation.
• Articles on safety and quality in radiation therapy.
• Essays on clinical experience.
• Articles on practice transformation in radiation oncology, in particular:
  • Aspects of health policy that may impact the future practice of radiation oncology.
  • How information technology, such as data analytics and systems innovations, will change radiation oncology practice.
• Articles on imaging as they relate to radiation therapy treatment.

Advances is the sister publication of the http://www.elsevier.com/locate/issn/03603016International Journal of Radiation Oncology • Biology • Physics and http://www.elsevier.com/locate/issn/18798500Practical Radiation Oncology. As such, Advances aims to complement the research in those two journals
