explain why the submission can be considered trans- or interdisciplinary, and
clarify how the local or regional issue is scalable, globally applicable and/or has policy, management or practical relevance.
Submissions to the journal may be rejected based on an internal review by the Editors-in-Chief under the general category, "out-of-scope" if they fail to satisfy one or more of the above set of criteria. Other reasons why this may occur include:The submission is exclusively (bio)technical without a case-based application or thorough consideration of policy or practice implications.
The submission is an (nominally environmental) econometric analysis.
The methods in literature review submissions are inadequately described.
Data sources are not clearly documented and/or are uncited.
Research involving human subjects has not demonstrably adhered to ethical standards (see instructions to authors).
The grammar and spelling do not meet academic standards.
The submission is insufficiently novel or innovative.
The following categories of submission are invited (see guide for authors) : Original research papers, original reviews of literature, perspective articles and letters to the Editor. The journal will consider hosting special issues with guest editors or an organised series of papers on a focused area of research. However, assessment of applications for these will be based on the quality and fit of an existing set of abstracts (or papers), or a pre-determined set of author contributions. Arrangements to publish a Special Issue may be negotiated with the organisers of a planned event, conference or workshop aligned with the scope of Environmental Development. Speculative proposals for special issues will not be considered. For more information, and to submit a proposed Special Issue please complete this Application form and submit it to the Commissioning Editor. Since the total number of annual submissions to the journal continues to grow rapidly, we will not be able to provide detailed explanations of reasons for desk rejection of individual submissions. Once a manuscript has been accepted for peer review, we will do our utmost to expedite the review process and inform authors of the outcome as quickly as possible.- ISSN: 2211-4645
