ISSN: 0921-3449
5 Year impact factor: 12.1
Impact factor: 11.2

The journal Resources, Conservation & Recycling welcomes contributions from research, which consider sustainable management and conservation of resources. The journal emphasizes the transformation processes involved in a transition toward more sustainable production and consumption systems. Emphasis is upon technological, economic, institutional and policy aspects of specific resource management practices, such as conservation, recycling and resource substitution, and of "systems-wide" strategies, such as resource productivity improvement, the restructuring of production and consumption profiles and the transformation of industry.Contributions may have relevance at regional, national or international scales and may focus at any level of research from individual resources or technologies to whole sectors or systems of interest. Contributors may emphasise any of the aforementioned aspects as well as scientific and methodological issues. However, manuscripts that consider only laboratory experiments, without a discussion of the practical, environmental and economic implications of the presented research, are excluded from publication in the journal.The journal publishes papers, reviews, analyses and case studies on topics, which include:Transformation of the industrial and societal system towards more sustainable production and consumption patterns, including management, instruments, methods and processes of change.Information and management systems involving resource status, use and material flows in society.Innovation processes, tools and methods relating to resource productivity improvement.Technical, societal, economic, business and policy aspects of strategies to improve the sustainability and productivity of resource use, including strategies for managing resource supply and demand, valorizing waste, lowering energy and material intensities and increasing the serviceability of products.Substitution of primary resources by renewable or regenerative alternatives, including agricultural and forest resources and wastes.Material flow analysis and the understanding of resource use and flows in society and the impact on the environment, including resource extraction and waste generation.Life cycle assessment and management of resources, materials and products to improve resource efficiency and productivity, conserve resources and reduce pollution.Societal, economic and technological change for improved recovery and reuse of materials and energy from domestic, commercial or industrial waste streams.Efficient management and use of all resources, including air and water, with regard to the qualitative as well as quantitative aspects of resource use.Resources, Conservation & Recycling has a Golden Open Access companion journal Resources, Conservation & Recycling Advances which features an independent editorial board and a separate peer-review process.

Resources, Environment and Sustainability

ISSN: 2666-9161
5 Year impact factor: 11.9
Impact factor: 12.4

Resources, Environment and Sustainability is a peer-reviewed transdisciplinary journal aiming at publishing high-quality original research from a broad range of natural, social and engineering fields. The publications emphasize sustainable resource utilization, associated environmental stresses, and potential solutions to achieve resource and environmental sustainability.Previous explorations of pathways to maximize resource utilization efficiency and minimize environmental impacts have been greatly constrained within isolated disciplines, which calls for novel integration across natural, social and technological systems. Understanding the mechanism and inspiring society to sustain future generations with finite natural resources and limited environmental capacity are the overarching goals of this journal.ScopeResources, Environment and Sustainability will cover topics including, but not limited to:Sustainable agriculture and food security Design for environment Sustainable production and cleaner production Circular economy and material cycling Life cycle assessment Sustainable development and sustainability Sustainable consumptionIn addition to publishing original research and analyses, Resources, Environment and Sustainability will publish Comment, Reviews, Perspectives, News & Views, Features and Correspondence from across the full range of disciplines concerned with sustainable resource supply and environmental sustainability.Our major mission is to bridge the gap between academia across disciplines and policy making by facilitating a combinatorial and cross-disciplinary platform that works towards strategic approaches to conserve natural resources and the environment.Resources, Environment and Sustainability is organized by the Lishui Institute of Ecology and Environment, Nanjing University and published by Elsevier.

Waste Management

ISSN: 0956-053X
5 Year impact factor: 7.9
Impact factor: 7.1

International Journal of Integrated Waste Management, Science and TechnologyWaste Management is devoted to the presentation and discussion of information on solid waste generation, characterization, minimization, collection, separation, treatment, and disposal, as well as manuscripts that address waste management policy, education, and economic and environmental assessments. The journal addresses various types of solid wastes including municipal (e.g., residential, institutional, and commercial), agricultural, and special (e.g., hazardous household, hazardous and non-hazardous industrial, construction and demolition, sewage sludge, healthcare and medical) wastes. Mining, metallurgical and radioactive wastes are not in the scope of the journal.The journal welcomes both fundamental and applied research that can be related to problems of interest to solid waste researchers, practitioners and/or policy makers. Well documented case studies will be considered but they must describe results that can be applied beyond the specific location of the case study. Manuscripts that focus on the use of a waste material in a new product are often more suitable for a journal that focuses on the material properties of the product. In considering whether a manuscript is suitable for publication in Waste Management, consider whether the information is of potential use to solid waste researchers, practitioners and/or policymakers.The following are some of the major areas in which papers are solicited:Generation and characterizationMinimizationRecycling and reuseStorage, collection, transport, and transferTreatment (mechanical, biological, chemical, thermal, other)Landfill disposalEnvironmental assessments (including LCA and S-LCA)Economic analysis (including LCC)Policy and regulationsPlanningNew and emerging issues and technologiesWaste Management will not be accepting proposals for new Special Issues (SI) anymore. The new Special Issue topics and contents will be arranged and announced by the editorial team of WM. Interested authors are welcome to contribute articles.
