Journal Guide

California Agriculture is a peer-reviewed journal reporting research, reviews and news from the University of California and its Agriculture and Natural Resources division. The first issue of California Agriculture was published in December 1946, making it one of the oldest, continuously published, land-grant university research publications in the country. It is also one of the largest circulation publications of its kind (about 15,000 domestic and 1,700 foreign subscribers). The authors are primarily, but not exclusively, faculty from the University of California. It is currently published quarterly.

California Archaeology publishes original papers on the archaeology of Alta California, Baja California, and adjoining regions (southern Oregon, western Nevada and Arizona). The journal is dedicated to advancing knowledge of California’s past and it will consider manuscripts that treat theory, method, and/or empirical findings from either the prehistoric or historic (text-aided) era. Ethnohistoric or ethnographic studies will be considered only if they make explicit connections to or have clear implications for the material record. Paleoenvironmental studies will be considered with the same caveat.

The journal publishes four types of papers: articles that advance theoretical, methodological, and/or empirical knowledge of a major issue in the prehistory or history of California or an adjoining region; reports that present descriptive information on important and/or unusual discoveries; letters, that briefly comment on recently published research (commonly followed by a response); reviews, that briefly evaluate recently published books, DVDs, museum exhibits, or other materials with significant archaeological content.

The journal also publishes in each issue a News and Notes column, which includes information on recent field work, legal developments, and/or other events or activities related to the practice of archaeology in California and adjoining regions.

California Management Review serves as a vehicle of communication between those who study management and those who practice it. We publish articles that are both research-based and address issues of current concern to managers.CMR emphasizes three areas of critical importance to both practicing managers and academic researchers: Strategy and Organization, Global Competition and Competitiveness, and Business and Public Policy. CMR focuses on contemporary developments in the global economy, strategies for innovation, strategic planning, the management of technology, corporate culture, managing human resources, and business ethics.CMR's contributors include management consultants, policy makers, and senior executives as well as business school faculty from across the nation and abroad. Published quarterly by the Haas School of Business at the University of California at Berkeley, CMR's editorial board consists of highly respected scholars from seven of California's schools of business and management - Cal, Stanford, UCLA, USC, U.C. Irvine, U.C. Riverside, and U.C. Davis.

CALLALOO, the premier African Diaspora literary journal, publishes original works by, and critical studies of, black writers worldwide. The journal offers a rich mixture of fiction, poetry, plays, critical essays, cultural studies, interviews, and visual art. Frequent annotated bibliographies, special thematic issues, and original art and photography are some of the features of this highly acclaimed international showcase of arts and letters.

The design of industrial processes requires reliable thermodynamic data. CALPHAD (Computer Coupling of Phase Diagrams and Thermochemistry) aims to promote computational thermodynamics through development of models to represent thermodynamic properties for various phases which permit prediction of properties of multicomponent systems from those of binary and ternary subsystems, critical assessment of data and their incorporation into self-consistent databases, development of software to optimize and derive thermodynamic parameters and the development and use of databanks for calculations to improve understanding of various industrial and technological processes. This work is disseminated through the CALPHAD journal and its annual conference. Contributions of high quality in these and related fields, especially the fields of first-principles calculations, experimental measurements of thermochemical and phase equilibrium data, phase transformations, and the process and materials designs that the CALPHAD works are based on or used for, are welcome.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
