Thermochimica Acta publishes original research contributions covering all aspects of thermoanalytical and calorimetric methods and their application to experimental chemistry, physics, biology and engineering. The journal aims to span the whole range from fundamental research to practical application.The journal particularly welcomes papers from newly emerging areas as well as from the traditional strength areas:- New and improved instrumentation and methods- Thermal properties and behavior of materials- Kinetics of thermally stimulated processesEach paper submitted for publication should clearly present:a) Scientific motivation (i.e., why this study is of interest);b) Relevance to the stated scope of Thermochimica Acta (i.e., why thermal methods play a crucial role in the study, or why this study is important for the use and development of thermal methods);c) General significance of the obtained results (i.e., how this study contributes to the advancement of knowledge in the general area of the study). Note that novelty of a study does not necessarily imply general significance of the results.Manuscripts reporting kinetic calculations are expected to follow the ICTAC Kinetics Committee recommendations, Thermochim. Acta 520 (2011) 1-19The journal publishes regular full-length articles, short communications (either novel, unexpected theoretical or experimental results or short reports of collections of new data), and reviews (usually invited by an Editor, but proposals from authors are welcome).

Founded in 1994, Thermophysics and Aeromechanics offers original reports, reviews, and discussions on hydro-gas dynamics, heat and mass transfer, turbulence, methods of aero- and thermo-physical experiment, physics of low-temperature plasma, and physical and technical problems of energetics. These are the fields of investigation at the Kutateladze Institute of Thermophysics SB RAS and the Khristianivich Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics SB RAS. The journal promotes exchange of information between the researchers of Russia and the international scientific community. Contributors to Thermophysics and Aeromechanics represent Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, India, Japan, South Korea, the Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Sweden, UK, USA, etc. The journal publishes articles of both a basic and applied character, as well as theoretical and numerical simulation, experimental data and descriptions of experimental technology and new engineering principles.

Thesis Eleven (Thesis 11), peer reviewed and published quarterly, is multidisciplinary, reaching across the social sciences (sociology, anthropology, philosophy, geography, cultural studies, literature and politics) and cultivating diverse critical theories of modernity. Reflecting the broad scope of social theory it encourages civilizational analysis on a wide range of alternative modernities and takes critical theory from the margins of the world system to its centre.

Thin-walled structures comprises an important and growing proportion of engineering construction with areas of application becoming increasingly diverse, ranging from aircraft, bridges, ships and oil rigs to storage vessels, industrial buildings and warehouses.Many factors, including cost and weight economy, new materials and processes and the growth of powerful methods of analysis have contributed to this growth, and led to the need for a journal which concentrates specifically on structures in which problems arise due to the thinness of the walls. This field includes cold– formed sections, plate and shell structures, reinforced plastics structures and aluminium structures, and is of importance in many branches of engineering.The primary criterion for consideration of papers in Thin–Walled Structures is that they must be concerned with thin–walled structures or the basic problems inherent in thin–walled structures. Provided this criterion is satisfied no restriction is placed on the type of construction, material or field of application. Papers on theory, experiment, design, etc., are published and it is expected that many papers will contain aspects of all three.

Thinking & Reasoning is an international journal dedicated to the understanding of human thought processes, with particular emphasis on studies on reasoning. Whilst the primary focus is on psychological studies of thinking, contributions are welcome from philosophers, artificial intelligence researchers and other cognitive scientists whose work bears upon the central concerns of the journal. Topics published in the journal include studies of deductive reasoning, inductive reasoning, problem solving, decision making, probability judgement, conceptual thinking and the influence of language and culture on thought.Papers will be accepted for publication on the basis of scientific quality, clarity of exposition and contribution to theoretical understanding of human thinking. Contributions may take any of the following forms:Empirical studies using any methodology appropriate to questions addressed, including experimental or observational methods and utilising either quantitative or qualitative analyses.Theoretical contributions pertinent to issues in the empirical study of human thought but not reporting new data.Critical reviews of research literatures which synthesise findings reported by different authors and which derive new insights or permit conclusions which enhance understanding of theoretical issues.Critical discussion of papers published in Thinking & Reasoning and short reports or notes on other relevant issues.Essay-style extended book reviews, for books of unusual interest to the readership. Normally commissioned, but proposals can be sent to the Editor. Peer Review IntegrityAll published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and refereeing by independent expert referees.Special IssuesIssues devoted to a single topic are occasionally published in this journal; these are sent free to subscribers in that year, and are also available to purchase separately as books for non-subscribers.

Included in the Thomson Reuters Arts & Humanaities Citation IndexThird Text is an international scholarly journal dedicated to providing critical perspectives on art and visual culture. The journal examines the theoretical and historical ground by which the West legitimises its position as the ultimate arbiter of what is significant within this field. Established in 1987, the journal provides a forum for the discussion and (re)appraisal of theory and practice of art, art history and criticism, and the work of artists hitherto marginalised through racial, gender, religious and cultural differences. Dealing with diversity of art practices - visual arts, sculpture, installation, performance, photography, video and film - Third Text addresses the complex cultural realities that emerge when different worldviews meet, and the challenge this poses to Eurocentrism and ethnocentric aesthetic criteria. The journal aims to develop new discourses and radical interdisciplinary scholarships that go beyond the confines of eurocentricity.Peer Review Policy:All research articles published in this journal have undergone peer review based on initial editorial screening.Disclaimer for scientific, technical and social science publications:Taylor & Francis and Third Text makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.

Third World Quarterly (TWQ) is the leading journal of scholarship and policy in the field of international studies. For over three decades it has set the agenda on development discourses of the global debate. As the most influential academic journal covering the emerging worlds, TWQ is at the forefront of analysis and commentary on fundamental issues of global concern. TWQ examines all the issues that affect the many Third Worlds and is not averse to publishing provocative and exploratory articles, especially if they have the merit of opening up emerging areas of research that have not been given sufficient attention. TWQ is a peer-reviewed journal that looks beyond strict 'development studies', providing an alternative and over-arching reflective analysis of micro-economic and grassroot efforts of development practitioners and planners. It furnishes expert and interdisciplinary insight into crucial issues before they impinge upon media attention, as well as coverage of the very latest publications in its comprehensive book review section. TWQ acts as an almanac linking the academic terrains of the various contemporary area studies - African, Asian, Latin American and Middle Eastern - in an interdisciplinary manner with the publication of informative, innovative and investigative articles. Contributions are rigorously assessed by regional experts.

Third World Thematics ( TWT ) is a sister publication of the established title, Third World Quarterly.  TWT is an online journal devoted to the publication of special issues.

TWT  focuses on the political economy, development and cultures of those parts of the world that have experienced the most political, social and economic upheaval, and which have faced the greatest challenges of the postcolonial world under globalisations: poverty, displacement and diaspora, environmental degradation, human and civil rights abuses, war, hunger and disease.

TWT  serves as a signifier of oppositional emerging economies and cultures, ranging from Africa, Asia, Latin America, Middle East, and even those ‘Souths’ within a larger perceived ‘North’, such as the US Deep South and Mediterranean Europe. The study of these otherwise disparate and discontinuous areas, known collectively as the ‘Global South’, demonstrates that as globalisation pervades the planet, the south, as a synonym for subalterity, also transcends geographical and ideological forms.

Thoracic Cancer aims to facilitate international collaboration and exchange of comprehensive and cutting-edge information on basic, translational, and applied clinical research in lung cancer, esophageal cancer, mediastinal cancer, and other thoracic malignancies.
