Journal Guide

Monthly Notices is one of the world's leading primary research journals in astronomy and astrophysics, as well as one of the longest established. It publishes the results of original research in positional and dynamical astronomy, astrophysics, radio astronomy, cosmology, space research and the design of astronomical instruments. Monthly Notices welcomes submissions from astronomers world-wide; two thirds of its content originates from outside the UK. It is run entirely by astronomers and, receiving no financial support from anywhere, makes its decision to publish only on scientific judgements. All published papers will have been rigorously peer-reviewed and fully linked to the ADS database, so they have a high impact. Practical advantages to publishing in Monthly Notices.

Moscow University Physics Bulletin publishes original papers (reviews, articles and brief communications) in the following fields of Experimental and Theoretical Physics: Theoretical and Mathematical Physics; Physics of Nuclei and Elementary Particles; Radiophysics, Electronics, Acoustics; Optics and Spectroscopy; Laser Physics; Condensed Matter Physics; Chemical Physics, Physical Kinetics and Plasma Physics; Biophysics and Medical Physics; Astronomy, Astrophysics and Cosmology; Physics of Earth, Atmosphere and Hydrosphere.

Centered around multiscale phenomena, Multiscale Modeling and Simulation (MMS) is an interdisciplinary journal focusing on the fundamental modeling and computational principles underlying various multiscale methods. By its nature, multiscale modeling is highly interdisciplinary, with developments occurring independently across fields. A broad range of scientific and engineering problems involve multiple scales. Traditional monoscale approaches have proven to be inadequate, even with the largest supercomputers, because of the range of scales and the prohibitively large number of variables involved. Thus, there is a growing need to develop systematic modeling and simulation approaches for multiscale problems. MMS will provide a single broad, authoritative source for results in this area. MMS bridges the growing gap in communication between mathematics, chemistry, physics, engineering, computer science, environmental science, and more.
