Ocean & Coastal Management is the leading international journal dedicated to the study of all aspects of ocean and coastal management and governance.Ocean & Coastal Management aims to advance management, policy and/or governance scholarship related to the sustainable development and conservation of the world's oceans and coasts.It publishes rigorously peer-reviewed articles on ocean and coastal management and governance from the natural and social sciences, humanities and law, and design professions, and inter-/trans-discipl... and co-designed research.Submissions must engage directly with the ocean and coastal management scholarly literature and apply findings to the international context. Submissions involving robust analysis, development of theory, and improvement of governance and management practices are especially welcome. Locality-specific case studies are discouraged unless they have wider application. Comparative studies (from sub-national to trans-national cases, and other management / policy arenas) are encouraged, as are studies that critically assess management theories, policies, practices, and governance approaches.The journal publishes topics including:Interactio... between ocean and coastal uses and actors in government, the private sector, civil society, local communities, science, and Indigenous Peoples.

In association with the International Water Association Water Research has an open access companion journal Water Research X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review. Water Research publishes refereed, original research papers on all aspects of the science and technology of the anthropogenic water cycle, water quality, and its management worldwide. A broad outline of the journal's scope includes:Treatment processes for water and wastewaters (municipal, agricultural, industrial, and on-site treatment), including resource recovery and residuals management; Urban hydrology including sewer systems, stormwater management, and green infrastructure;Drink... water treatment and distribution;Potable and non-potable water reuse;Sanitation, public health, and risk assessment;Anaerobic digestion, solid and hazardous waste management, including source characterization and the effects and control of leachates and gaseous emissions;Contaminan...

This means that papers that go into too many details of one of the supporting disciplines (such as chemistry, toxicology, microbiology, material sciences, etc.) without making a good link with water research in general may be rejected up-front. More information on types of manuscripts that are not suitable for Water Research are discussed in an editorial available at https://doi.org/10.1... Biologists, chemical engineers, chemists, civil engineers, environmental engineers, limnologists, and microbiologists.Note that Water Research/Water Research X do not do pre-submission evaluations. Please carefully review the journal scope and previous issues of the journals to assess the fit of your manuscript. The handling editor will then evaluate suitability of your full manuscript.Elsevier and IWA have also jointly launched two specialist titles which authors are welcome to submit to:The open access Water Resources and Industry focuses on the role that industry plays in the exploitation, management and treatment of water resources.Water Resources and Economics addresses the financial and economic dimensions associated with water resources use and governance.Benefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, including a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
