| Description | Agricultural Economics aims to disseminate the most important research results and policy analyses in our discipline, from all regions of the world. Topical coverage ranges from consumption and nutrition to land use and the environment, at every scale of analysis from households to markets and the macro-economy. Applicable methodologies include econometric estimation and statistical hypothesis testing, optimization and simulation models, descriptive reviews and policy analyses. We particularly encourage submission of empirical work that can be replicated and tested by others. |

| Description | The aim of this interdisciplinary and international journal is to provide a forum for the exchange of original ideas, techniques, approaches and experiences in the rapidly growing field of geographical information systems (GIS). It is intended to interest those who design, implement and use systems for monitoring, planning and policy-making. Published research covers applications of GIS in natural resources, social systems and the built environment, and developments in computer science, cartography, surveying, geography and engineering in both developed and developing countries. |

| Description | Agricultural Systems is an international journal that deals with interactions - among the components of agricultural systems, among hierarchical levels of agricultural systems, between agricultural and other land use systems, and between agricultural systems and their natural and social environments. In particular, its aim is to encourage integration of knowledge among those disciplines that underpin agriculture. Many contributions will therefore be multi- or inter-disciplinary. Papers generally focus on either methodological approaches to understanding and managing interactions within or among agricultural systems, or the application of holistic or quantitative systems approaches to a range of problems within agricultural systems and their interactions with other systems. The scope includes the development and application of systems methodology, including system modelling, simulation and optimisation; ecoregional analysis of agriculture and land use; studies on natural resource issues related to agriculture; impact and scenario analyses related to topics such as GMOs, multifunctional land use and global change; and the development and application of decision and discussion support systems; approaches to analysing and improving farming systems; technology transfer in tropical and temperate agriculture; and the relationship between agricultural development issues and policy. |

| Description | Content of the journal ranges from the applied to the theoretical. In general, papers cover topics relating to the ecological, political, and social foundations for sustainable social-ecological systems. Specifically, the journal publishes articles that present research findings on the following issues: (a) the management, stewardship and sustainable use of ecological systems, resources and biological diversity at all levels, (b) the role natural systems play in social and political systems and conversely, the effect of social, economic and political institutions on ecological systems and services, and © the means by which we can develop and sustain desired ecological, social and political states. |

| Description | Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment deals with the interface between agriculture and the environment. It seeks to provide a science forum to discuss how agricultural practices influence the broader environment and how changes outside agriculture affect agricultural systems. Emphasis is placed on innovative and original research that elucidates the link between agroecosystems (association of crops, pastures, livestock) and the environment (including energy, air, water, land). This two-way interface or link cuts both ways as it elucidates the influence of agriculture on the environment but also characterizes how changes in the latter impact agroecosystems. The journal covers topics such as ecology of agricultural systems; response of agroecosystems to environmental stress (climate change, intensification, soil degradation, pollutants, waste materials, air quality, and changing land and water use); agricultural landscape ecology and processes; and characteristics of agroecosystems from a biological, physical, and environmental standpoint. Papers that advance our understanding on how to make agroecosystems more diverse and sustainable are especially welcome. Preference is given to papers from experimental research and model applications at the field or system level that bridge scientific disciplines, integrate knowledge, and that are placed in an international or wide comparative context. All manuscripts are initially screened based on their topic suitability and linguistic quality. Papers that deal with inventory and survey analysis and impact assessment, model development, purely socio-economic aspects, agriculture environmental and land use policy and planning are discouraged unless they provide relatively unknown information on the agroecosystem environmental interface. |

| Description | Environmental Modelling and Software publishes contributions, in the form of research articles, reviews, short communications as well as software and data news, on recent advances in environmental modelling and/or software. The aim is to improve our capacity to represent, understand, predict or manage the behaviour of environmental systems at all practical scales, and to communicate those improvements to a wide scientific and professional audience. It seeks presentation of: - Generic frameworks, techniques and issues which either integrate a range of disciplines and sectors or apply across a range - Model development and applications in diverse sectors of the environment (as outlined below) provided they reveal insights and contribute to the store of knowledge - Development and application of environmental software, information and decision support systems - Issues and methods related to the integrated modeling, assessment and management of environmental systems - including relevant policy and institutional analysis, public participation principles and methods, decision making methods, model integration, quality assurance and evaluation of models, data and procedures. |

| Description | IAMO scientifically investigates the development of the agricultural and food sectors in Central and East European countries, with particular emphasis placed on changes caused by transition. The reorganization of the agricultural and food sectors has required institutional and national economic reforms, liberalization of the markets, and adaptations at an individual operational level.\\IAMO analyzes the various interactions of these aspects and draws economic, agricultural and political conclusions from its research, which is intended to aid in the speedy progress of transition. |
