Yay for Google!

After trying to avoid ‘googling’ these journals, I gave in and had better luck in finding descriptions of the scope of some of the journals in which Saxe has been published. Review sites contained more useful information on the content of the journals than the official sites of the journal and some even offered free issues for perusal. The Science Direct Database (in Browse mode) offers a link to "About this Journal" and it turns out that many of the descriptions that I found for the scope of the journals I looked at were from the same source- Elsevier. The Reed Elseiver company produces information in the fields of science, medicine, law, and business.

I don't want to give you a play by play of all of the journals in which Saxe has been published, but through these examples I've learned that journals can be very broad in their scope like Psychological Science or very narrow like Current Opinion in Neurobiology--

Psychological Science is a journal that publishes articles concerning the brain and human behavior, clinical science, cognition, learning and memory, social psychology, and developmental psychology as well as articles discussing the application of psychological topics in government and the public sphere.

Unfortunately Current Opinion in Neurobiology seems to strictly adhere to reviewing Neurobiology and thus the cells of the brain and how they function-- lacks the interdisciplinary facets of the other journals at first glance.

I find it very interesting that many journals limit authors from submitting their work to any other journals, but at the same time can vary so much in their scope that perhaps they might not consider a piece as within their area when the author does. It would be very prudent for scientists hoping to have their research published to be familiar with exactly what the publishers are looking for and be well-acquainted with their requirements for consideration for publication. Journal publication is much more selective than I had originally thought so it is surprising how interdisciplinary Saxe's research is and how it has been received by publishers.

Interdisciplinary??

Saxe's work is definitely interdisciplinary. Merely looking at the journals in which she has been published showcases the multitude of disciplines her research bridges. Psychology, Philosophy, Biology, Chemistry, Neurology, and Cognitive Science.

Saxe's study of the human mind obviously involves chemical and biological process, but the inclusion of Psychology and Philosophy covers her hypotheses as well as the influence of human behavior.

As a result, her research would also include such disciplines.

I am trying to find descriptions of what the journals her work has been published in focus on, but many of the publisher's sites merely describe the ethics expected when submitting articles for publication. Any ideas?
