Language & Communication
The journal Language & Communication provides a forum for the study of the transformative nature of both language and other modes of communication, as envisaged by its founder Prof. Roy Harris (1931–2015), and welcomes approaches that are not restricted by existing disciplinary boundaries. The journal focuses on both key theoretical issues concerning language and communication, including the history of these issues and their cultural implications, and empirical studies stemming from a robust theoretical basis. The mission of Language & Communication is to foreground the view that language is inherently social and that it cannot be separated from communication. The journal is oriented towards critical approaches to communication in its various conceptions.The journal invites contributions from diverse areas of critical research in linguistics and communication studies. To avoid confusion with journals with similar titles, please note that Language & Communication is not primarily a venue for work in fields such as language teaching, (second) language acquisition, health communication, political discourse, media discourse, metaphor studies, literary linguistics, or academic writing.- ISSN: 0271-5309

Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization
The Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization is devoted to theoretical and empirical research concerning economic decision, organization and behavior and to economic change in all its aspects. Its specific purposes are to foster an improved understanding of how human cognitive, computational and informational characteristics influence the working of economic organizations and market economies and how an economy's structural features lead to various types of micro and macro behavior, to changing patterns of development and to institutional evolution. Research with these purposes that explore the interrelations of economics with other disciplines such as biology, psychology, law, anthropology, sociology, finance, marketing, political science, and mathematics is particularly welcome. The journal is eclectic as to research method; systematic observation and careful description, simulation modeling and mathematical analysis are all within its purview. Empirical work, including controlled laboratory experimentation that probes close to the core of the issues in theoretical dispute is encouraged.- ISSN: 0167-2681
Journal of Anthropological Archaeology
An innovative, international publication, the Journal of Anthropological Archaeology is devoted to the development of theory and, in a broad sense, methodology for the systematic and rigorous understanding of the organization, operation, and evolution of human societies.The discipline served by the journal is characterized by its goals and approach, not by geographical or temporal bounds. The data utilized or treated range from the earliest archaeological evidence for the emergence of human culture to historically documented societies and the contemporary observations of the ethnographer, ethnoarchaeologist, sociologist, or geographer. These subjects appear in the journal as examples of cultural organization, operation, and evolution, not as specific historical phenomena. The concomitant range of socioeconomic complexity encompasses the simplest human culture, or "proto-culture," as well as the most complex states or empires.- ISSN: 0278-4165
