Cognitive and Behavioral Practice is a quarterly international journal with the primary mission of clinical dissemination: to bridge the gap between published clinical research and the actual clinical practice of cognitive and behavioral therapies. Cognitive and Behavioral Practice publishes clinically rich accounts of innovative assessment and therapeutic procedures that are clearly grounded in evidence-based practice. The primary focus is on application and implementation of procedures. Accordingly, topics are selected to address current challenges facing practitioners, both in terms of technique, process, and the content of treatment. To meet this goal, articles may include rich descriptions of clinical interventions, examples of client-therapist dialog, embedded video clips readers can view on line, and/or significant case descriptions. In addition to regular articles, the journal includes special series, case conferences, clinical commentaries, clinical reviews, and book reviews. Special series contain multiple manuscripts that center on a particular diagnostic category, population or therapeutic strategy. Case series contain a case description with authors responding to various aspects of the treatment approach. Clinical commentaries are brief articles (solicited and unsolicited) in which experts in the field comment on the most up-to-date clinical topics, controversies, or discoveries within their expertise. Clinical reviews are regular length review articles that focus specifically on clinical strategy and existing evidence base for that strategy. This journal is for the practicing mental health clinician, instructors, and researchers with an interest in the clinical dissemination of their findings. Continuing education examinations are included in each issue.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Cold Regions Science and Technology is an international journal dealing with the scientific and technical problems of cold environments in both the Arctic and more temperate locations. The primary focus is with problems related to the freezing of water, and especially with the many forms of floating ice, snow, and frozen ground. The journal serves a wide range of specialists, providing a medium for interdisciplinary communication and a convenient source of reference.Emphasis is given to applied science with broad coverage of the physics, chemistry, mechanics, and biological aspects of ice, snow, ice-water systems, and ice-bonded soils. Relevant aspects of earth science, materials science, offshore and river ice engineering are also of primary interest. Technological advances for cold regions areas in research, development, and engineering practice are relevant to the journal. This includes traditional major specializations of engineering (civil, mechanical, electrical), together with other engineering subdivisions (e.g. hydraulics, biotechnology, agricultural, mining, highway, sanitary, petroleum, ocean, rivers). Coverage may also include engineering geology, architecture, meteorology, hydrology, forestry, exploration geophysics, naval architecture, and so forth.
