A journal of nuclear and radiation techniques and their applications in the physical, chemical, biological, medical, earth, planetary, environmental, security and engineering science.Applied Radiation and Isotopes provides a high quality medium for the publication of substantial, original and scientific and technological papers on the development and peaceful application of nuclear, radiation and radionuclide techniques in chemistry, physics, biochemistry, biology, medicine, security, engineering and in the earth, planetary and environmental sciences, all including dosimetry. Nuclear techniques are defined in the broadest sense and both experimental and theoretical papers are welcome. They include the development and use of α- and β-particles, X-rays and γ-rays, neutrons and other nuclear particles and radiations from all sources, including radionuclides, synchrotron sources, cyclotrons and reactors and from the natural environment.The journal aims to publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria.Papers dealing with radiation processing, i.e., where radiation is used to bring about a biological, chemical or physical change in a material, should be directed to our sister journal Radiation Physics and Chemistry.Manuscripts describing the results of measurements of radioactive or other substances in any medium that have been obtained using well-established analytical methods will not be accepted unless they also describe substantial innovations or improvements in the analytical methodology. Relevant topics for Applied Radiation and Isotopes include the following, however, authors are encouraged to suggest other topics which might also be published in the journal:Radiation Sources: design, construction, production, characteristics.Radionuclides: production, activation cross-sections, target design, processing, quality control procedures.Synthesis of Labelled Compounds: synthesis, purification, quality control, in vitro testing of radionuclide-labelled compounds/ radiopharmaceuticals.Measurement of Radiation and Radioactivity: measurement of X-rays, γ-rays, α- and β-particles and other forms of radiation; nuclear instrumentation, including radiation spectrometry, dosimetry, novel counting systems and whole-body counters, novel radiation detector systems.Radioanalytical Methods: activation analysis, isotope dilution analysis, radioimmunoassay, radionuclide tomography, radiation spectrometry.Nuclear Physics and Chemistry topics including data compilations, directly relevant to practical applications.Nuclear Magnetic Resonance/Electron Spin Resonance: dosimetry, dating, imaging, biomedical applications and radiation accidents.Medical Radiation: the development of applications of ionising radiation and radioisotopes in radiation therapy, imaging and nuclear medicine.Accelerator Mass Spectrometry: methodology, biomedical, environmental and other applications.Nuclear Geophysics: studies of the earth's crust, the hydrosphere, the atmosphere and planetary bodies; nuclear methods for exploration, extraction, transport and use of water, oil, gas, coal and other minerals.Radiochemistry: chemical behaviour and speciation of radionuclides.Environment: chemical behaviour and speciation of radionuclides and labelled compounds other than those of direct clinical interest, in geological, environmental, human, animal or plant systems; factors which modify this behaviour.Manuscripts, which will be subject to peer review, should take one of the following forms:Full length articles, which should be definitive and describe a reasonably complete investigation.Short Communications, which may describe new, unpublished information, including preliminary communications and work in progress.Correspondence, containing comments related to articles previously published in the journal. This type of communication should not exceed two printed pages in order to expedite their publication.Review articles and conference proceedings may also be accepted for publication, following discussion with an editor of the journal.

Journal of Environmental Radioactivity

• ISSN: 0265-931X
• 5 Year impact factor: 2
• Impact factor: 1.9

Affiliated to the International Union of RadioecologyThe Journal of Environmental Radioactivity provides a coherent international forum for publication of original research or review papers on any aspect of the occurrence of radioactivity in natural systems.Relevant subject areas range from applications of environmental radionuclides as mechanistic or timescale tracers of natural processes to assessments of the radioecological or radiological effects of ambient radioactivity. Papers deal with naturally occurring nuclides or with those created and released by man through nuclear weapons manufacture and testing, energy production, fuel-cycle technology, etc. Reports on radioactivity in the oceans, sediments, rivers, lakes, groundwaters, soils, atmosphere and all divisions of the biosphere are welcomed, but these should not simply be of a monitoring nature unless the data are particularly innovative.Research papers are also included which, by either experimental or theoretical approaches, aim towards an improved understanding of the behaviour, transfer and distribution of environmental radionuclides. Predictive modelling is particularly encouraged. Papers on dating methods are acceptable if they have clear geophysical or geochemical significance. Descriptions of experimental methods should be both highly original and specifically related to determination of low-level environmental activities.The journal provides a vehicle for objective, open and peer-reviewed publication and discussion of the more “controversial” aspects of environmental radioactivity, including assessments of health effects, criteria for discharge control and options for ultimate disposal of nuclear wastes. Publication in this field is also encouraged in the related book series Radioactivity in the Environment designed to complement the coverage of the journal.

Science of the Total Environment

• ISSN: 0048-9697
• 5 Year impact factor: 8.6
• Impact factor: 8.2

An International Journal for Scientific Research into the Environment and its Relationship with HumankindScience of the Total Environment is an international multi-disciplinary natural science journal for publication of novel, hypothesis-driven and high-impact research on the total environment, which interfaces the atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and anthroposphere.STOTEN's Aims & Scope has been updated - we invite contributions of original and high quality interdisciplinary environmental research papers of broad impact. Studies significantly advancing fundamental understanding and that focus on the interconnection of multiple spheres will be given primary consideration. Field studies have preference, while papers describing laboratory experiments must demonstrate significant advances in methodology or mechanistic understanding with a clear connection to the environment. Descriptive, repetitive, incremental or regional-scale studies with limited novelty will not be considered.1) Subject areas may include, but are not limited to: Air quality, atmospheric conditions, and new understanding of their role in adverse health or environmental outcomes Atmospheric biogeochemistry Ecosystem services and life cycle assessment Ecotoxicology and risk assessment Eco-hydrology Wildlife and contaminants Environmental impacts of climate change, agriculture, forestry, and land uses Environmental impacts of waste or wastewater treatment Drinking water contaminants and health implications Environmental remediation of soil and groundwater Global change-induced extreme events and environmental impacts Groundwater hydrogeochemistry and modeling Nanomaterials, microplastics, and other emerging contaminants Novel contaminant (bio)monitoring and risk assessment approaches Use of remote sensing and big data applications in better understanding complex environmentsStress ecology in marine, freshwater, and terrestrial ecosystems Trace metals and organics in biogeochemical cycles Water quality and securityCritical reviews or Discussion on current or emerging topicsFast-track submissions reporting ground-breaking discoveries with immediate impact2) Types of submissions not to be considered: Papers not contributing significant new knowledge to the field of studyTreatment/technology/engineering studies that do not demonstrate direct environmental effects or benefits Disciplinary studies with limited environmental relevance Local or regional scale case studies lacking international relevance Soil or plant science studies without environmental implications Laboratory batch experiments without an application component, e.g., batch sorption experiments, preparation, and evaluation of sorbents or catalysts for contaminant removal, or controlled laboratory experiments not using environmentally relevant concentrations Manuscripts that are primarily data reports without a substantial hypothesis, e.g., monitoring of common contaminants Modelling studies without calibration and data validation Papers of social science in nature on economics, sociology, psychology, political science, policy, planning and/or managementPapers describing toxicological studies with narrow/specific objectives that do not have a clear environmental science connectionToxicology and ecotoxicology studies testing single chemicals in bench-scale assays Human health studies that do not provide significant additional understanding of pollution induced health outcomes Papers covering exposures, health effects, and control measures in occupational settings Method development papers on common contaminants Bibliometric analysis-based papers Papers that describe data analysis methods including machine learning that do not provide new scientific insights into the system from which the data were collectedDevelopment and/or implementation of renewable energy (e.g., wind, solar) that do not directly affect an environmental system. Please DO NOT ask the Editors-in-Chief for permission before submitting a manuscript. Kindly check the guidelines to determine whether your manuscript is within the scope of the journal; if yes, please go ahead and submit it.
