Disability and Society
Disability and Society is an international journal providing a focus for debate about such issues as human rights, discrimination, definitions, policy and practices.

Definitions of disability are more readily acknowledged to be relative; segregated approaches are seen as inadequate and unacceptable - placing greater emphasis on community care and inclusion. However, policy intentions may not have the desired effects on the realities of everyday practice and policy changes themselves may be merely cosmetic, or appropriate but unfounded. The Journal publishes articles that represent a wide range of perspectives including the importance of the voices of disabled people. As well as main articles there is a Current Issues section that is intended to give people the opportunity to write about things that concern them in a less formal and academic way. The pieces should be interesting, controversial or even polemical and may encourage others to respond. They do not need to meet the conventional academic criteria but they should not be personal attacks or libellous. The word limit is 2000.

The relationship between the journal and the society is symbiotic in that the journal enhances the field of cognitive development by providing a prestigious forum for innovative research and theory. It publishes the very best articles on all aspects of cognitive development. In addition to empirical reports, it features theoretical essays (occasionally accompanied by peer commentaries), and essay reviews of new and significant books. Criteria for acceptance of submitted manuscripts including relevance of the work to issues of broad interest; substance of the argument (including methodological rigor and support for conclusions drawn); ingenuity of the ideas or approach; and quality of expression. https://www.tandfonline.com/loi/hjcd20

Journal of Intellectual Disabilities
This journal provides a medium for the exchange of best practice, knowledge and research between academic and professional disciplines from education, social and health settings to bring about advancement of services for people with intellectual disabilities. "The Journal of Intellectual Disabilities provides evidence of inter-professional scholarship in this applied area. The Journal combines a unique and eclectic blend of evidence of scholarly activity that combines practice development innovation with robust research methodology. The result is a publication that aspires successfully to provide pragmatic solutions to service change and advances in professional practice, based upon best evidence and intellectual rigour . Furthermore, the Journal continues to provide a forum that makes a significant contribution to enhancing the quality of life for people with intellectual disabilities and their supporters'. Professor David Sines, London South Bank University "Multi-disciplinary research in the field of learning disabilities is much needed but hard to realise. The Journal of Intellectual Disabilities plays a major role in making this a reality to the benefit of both practitioners and researchers." Professor Roy McConkey, University of Ulster

"The Journal of Intellectual Disabilities appears to provide genuine recognition of a multidisciplinary trend in professional practice and seeks to promote research and scholarly work to advance activities of the caring professions. It draws upon several academic disciplines although its focus is practice-oriented. It would appear to fill a market gap insofar as the other major journal in the area is strongly rooted in the discipline of psychology. Published articles are varied yet have in common a shared concern to enhance professional policies and practice." Professor Nigel Malin, University of Derby. The Journal of Intellectual Disabilities is now covered by MEDLINE!. Journal of Intellectual Disabilities is available electronically on SAGE Journals Online at http://jid.sagepub.com SAGE Full-Text Collections.

The Journal of Whiplash and Related Disorders
Until now, there has been a distinct absence in the biomedical literature of a journal devoted to the publication of high quality articles in the field of whiplash research. Researchers, educators, students, and clinicians have had to go to many different journals in various disciplines to find papers relating to whiplash injuries and their sequelae, which has made it difficult to stay current with new developments in the field. In answer to this need, Haworth Medical Press is proud to present the first and only peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing the scientific study of the nature, prevalence, and treatment of whiplash and related disorders. The Journal of Whiplash & Related Disorders will focus on the newest treatment options for this widely misunderstood and frequently mistreated condition and will deliver up-to-date information on the subject, gathered from available literature and respected authorities in the field. The Journal of Whiplash & Related Disorders is multidisciplinary, examining the problem of whiplash injuries from all relevant perspectives, including: Clinical, Biomechanical, Engineering, Societal, Traffic safety. Our Editorial Board consists of some of the best known names in whiplash research from North America, Europe, and Asia. The Journal of Whiplash & Related Disorders will also help you keep informed of new developments in the field by serving as a clearinghouse for abstracts of recent worthwhile publications appearing in other journals. Our goal is to make the Journal the most valuable single resource available for researchers, practitioners and others who deal with this commonly encountered yet poorly understood form of traumatic injury. https://www.tandfonline.com/loi/iwrd20

Language and Cognitive Processes
Language and Cognitive Processes provides an international forum for the publication of theoretical and experimental research into the mental processes and representations involved in language use.

The journal is also interested in fostering the relationship between cognitive theoretical accounts of language and its neural bases, and for this reason will consider research on the cognitive neuroscience of language which is rooted in cognitive theory. The journal emphasises the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to the study of language. Apart from research in experimental and evelopmental psychology, Language and Cognitive Processes publishes work derived from linguistics, philosophy, cognitive neuropsychology, cognitive neuroscience and computational modelling. Contributions are accepted in the form of experimental and observational studies, theoretical discussions, short notes and replies, and review articles.Peer Review Integrity: All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and refereeing by independent expert referees. https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/plcp20/current

Language and Communication
This journal is unique in that it provides a forum devoted to the discussion of topics and issues in communication which is of interdisciplinary significance. It publishes contributions from researchers in all fields relevant to the study of verbal and non-verbal communication. The investigation of language and its communicational functions are treated as a concern shared in common by those working in anthropology, the arts, artificial intelligence, education, ethology, linguistics, physiology, philosophy, psychology and the social sciences.Emphasis is placed on the implications of current research for establishing common theoretical frameworks within which findings from different areas of study may be accommodated and interrelated. By focusing attention on the many ways in which language is integrated with other forms of communicational activity and interactional behaviour, it is intended to explore ways of developing a science of communication which is not restricted by existing disciplinary boundaries.
