Fungal Genetics Reports

Welcome to the future home of Fungal Genetics Reports. The journal hasn’t moved quite yet though. Please visit the Journal’s Home Page for current content and information on how to submit to the journal.

Fungal Genetics Reports (FGR) is published as an online resource by the Fungal Genetics Stock Center.

FGR publishes short research notes, methods notes, linkage data, information concerning new mutants, announcements of meetings, or of positions available et cetera. It is a policy not to accept an abstract or shorter version of a full-length paper which will be published soon in a regular journal. However, a more extensive description of techniques or mutants used in a regular paper would be appropriate for FGR. We particularly encourage you to use FGR to describe new techniques or methods.

Volumes 1 - 32 (1962 - 1985) were published as Neurospora Newsletter. From 1986 - 2007, FGR was published as Fungal Genetics Newsletter (ISSN 0895-1942; eISSN: 1556-1275).

Health Behavior Research

Welcome to the future home of Health Behavior Research. The journal hasn’t moved quite yet though. Please visit the Journal’s Home Page for current content and information on how to submit to the journal.

Health Behavior Research (HBR) is the official journal of the American Academy of Health Behavior (AAHB). Published four-times per year, HBR is a peer-reviewed open-access scholarly journal that publishes original research articles, current issues papers, commentaries, and abstracts from the annual meeting of the Academy.

Health Behavior Research is dedicated to the translation of research to advance policy, program planning, and/or practice relevant to behavior change. This aim is accomplished by publishing scholarly works from basic and applied scientists that rigorously apply, test, and inform efforts to revise, refine, or reject theoretical principles. More specifically, preference will be given to works that:

• Test theoretical principles across a diverse array of settings and populations to enable investigators to better specify the scope of a theory;
• Further develop processes that shape primary constructs identified in health behavior theories to inform guidelines for strategies to target constructs in policy, planning, and practice;
• Address the causal processes invoked by mediators and moderators that inform theory refinement;
• Provide empirical evidence that informs researchers about the potential factors that lack predictive and explanatory health behaviors so as to refine and reduce the number of constructs within existing theories that predict and explain health behavior;
• Provide rationale for theory refinement based on application and rigorous testing.
• Address new and emerging concepts and theory used in health behavior research, conceptual frameworks, methods, and analyses.

For more information about AAHB, and becoming a member, please visit the academy’s website at www.aahb.org.

At this time Health Behavior Research is not accepting new manuscripts. We plan to start accepting manuscripts again in the upcoming months. We appreciate your patience.

International Journal of School Social Work

Welcome to the future home of the International Journal of School Social Work. The journal hasn’t moved quite yet though. Please visit the Journal’s Home Page for current content and information on how to submit to the journal.

The International Journal of School Social Work (IJSSW) is a dynamic, free, open-access online journal dedicated to advancing the field of school social work through the dissemination of high-quality, peer-reviewed research. With a mission to expand both the quantitative and qualitative research base supporting school social work services worldwide, IJSSW serves as a vital resource for practitioners, researchers, and educators committed to improving student outcomes through evidence-based practice.

In an era where accountability and data-driven interventions are increasingly emphasized, access to current research is not just beneficial—it’s essential. IJSSW meets this need by removing the barriers of paywalls and subscription fees, ensuring that school social workers everywhere—from rural districts in the U.S. to urban centers across the globe—can engage with the latest findings, innovative practices, and emerging trends in the field.

This open-access model is especially critical for practitioners who may not have access to university libraries or costly academic databases. By democratizing knowledge, IJSSW empowers school social workers to make informed decisions, advocate effectively for students, and contribute to the growing body of research that shapes policy and practice. Whether you're a seasoned professional or a new graduate entering the field, IJSSW offers a platform for learning, collaboration, and inspiration—accessible to all, regardless of geography or institutional affiliation.

Our mission is to support knowledge that encompasses global perspectives on school social work. We need your support to increase access to these perspectives and disseminate knowledge. If you are an experienced writer and would be willing to co-author with a scholar or practitioner from another part of the world please fill out this form. We understand that authoring a text in English can be a barrier to publication and we want to provide support for this process. If you would like to be paired with another scholar or practitioner for co-authorship or support, please click on the link below.
