Journals in Environmental sciences
The Environmental Sciences titles present critical research and insights into the complex interactions within natural ecosystems, climate systems, and human impacts on the environment. Covering areas such as biodiversity, sustainability, climate change, and resource management, these titles support scientific discovery and practical solutions for addressing today’s most pressing environmental challenges. This collection is essential for researchers, policymakers, and students dedicated to advancing environmental understanding and stewardship
Resource and Energy Economics
Resource and Energy Economics publishes theoretical and empirical papers, firmly grounded in economic theory, that advance our understanding of and provide novel insights into environmental and natural resource problems and policies broadly defined, as well as analyses of energy use and markets that link resource and environmental issues to energy.Contributions may address any problem involving economic and environmental linkages, including, but not limited to, utilization, conservation and development of the earth's natural resources (renewable and non-renewable, including critical materials); climate change mitigation and adaptation; innovation and the energy transition; pathways to sustainable growth and development; international trade and global environmental problems; non-market valuation methodology and novel applications of valuation techniques; experimental or behavioural economics pertaining to environmental and natural resources; the choice and impact of environmental policy instruments; and economic choices and/or behaviour related to energy and the environment. Also of interest are energy-related papers addressing regional or global pollution as well as the relationships between renewable and non-renewable energy sources and markets.Resource and Energy Economics is an economics journal. Hence, economic analysis is central to all papers that we publish. We are most interested in research that advances the theoretical and/or empirical understanding of natural resource and environmental economics. We do not publish studies that are limited to engineering or cost analyses, empirical analyses that document relationships between variables without identifying the theory or underlying mechanism(s) giving rise to these relationships, or localized studies without broader relevance. Papers limited to the study of prices, markets or finance are not within the scope of the journal unless the topic is linked to natural resource and environmental issues (such as energy efficiency, consumption, externalities, renewables, environmental policy, resource extraction, climate, instrument choice, welfare change, etc.). Papers that are determined by the editors to not be a good fit with the above aims and scope or are deemed to not meet the scientific standards of the journal will be returned without review.- ISSN: 0928-7655
Environmental Impact Assessment Review
Environmental Impact Assessment Review (EIA Review) is a refereed, interdisciplinary journal serving a global audience of practitioners, policy-makers, regulators, academics and others with an interest in the field of impact assessment (IA) and management. Impact assessment is defined by the International Association for Impact Assessment (www.iaia.org) as the process of identifying the future consequences of a current or proposed action.For EIA Review, the field of IA can be related to as the assessment of impacts on or of the environment (including, for example, EIA and SEA), social (SIA), health (HIA), risk (RIA), human rights, equity, language, technology, products, etc. With current or proposed actions, the EIA Review audience assesses how best to evaluate the impacts of policies, projects, processes and products, and how best to make decisions and undertake management activities.The focus of EIA Review is on innovative theory and practice that encompasses any of the above mentioned impacts and activities. In other words, EIA Review covers the following topics (the list is not exhaustive):• Development of IA theory and concepts; • IA legislation, procedure and practice; • IA Governance; • IA Methods, for example, forecasting, indicators, systems-based approaches, ecosystem services assessment, cost benefit analysis, algorithms, network-based approaches, among others; • Life Cycle Assessment, Carbon Footprinting, Energy Analysis, Emergy Analysis, and Integrated Product Policy; • Environmental Management Systems.Despite its name EIA Review is not restricted to review articles. However, it aims to publish only contributions that are innovative, topical and coherent and submissions are judged on these criteria by one of the editors, in consultation with an international advisory board. All submissions go through a blind peer-review process using a minimum of two reviewers prior to acceptance.EIA Review does accept original research that might adopt a case study design or methodology, but it does not accept reports or descriptions solely of IA case studies that use existing methods (i.e. not innovative) in a single jurisdiction context with no wider learning points. Thus case studies are welcome where they explicitly demonstrate innovative theory or practice, and where there is a clear value to an international audience.Authors are encouraged to consider recent articles in the journal to get a sense of how the editorial team judges potential manuscripts in terms of their innovation, contribution and approach.We encourage those interested in organizing a special issue or a virtual special issue within the scope of the journal to contact the EiC or [email protected] for more information. Additionally, we encourage potential organizers to carefully review the relevant requirements in the Guide for Authors before proceeding. Please note that each special issue can only accept up to three guest editors (GEs).- ISSN: 0195-9255
Total Environment Engineering
Total Environment Engineering is an international, multi-disciplinary companion journal to Science of the Total Environment, for publication of novel, hypothesis-driven and high-impact engineering science research that is directly relevant to the total environment, which interfaces the atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and anthroposphere. Studies that focus on the interconnection of multiple spheres are given primary consideration.TEE is intended to appeal to a broad readership which will include those working in all branches of the engineering and environmental sciences. Articles published in the journal must therefore clearly demonstrate how engineering solutions are applicable to solving problems in real world environmental settings. Descriptive, repetitive, incremental or regional-scale studies with limited novelty will not be considered.Provided that the relevance to solving a real world environmental problem is clear, we welcome contributions on the following subject areas which may include, but are not limited to, the following: advanced treatments for water, air and soil, including electrochemical technologies air treatmentanaerobic digestion technologiesbiochar synthesis and use for decontamination control and sequestration of greenhouse gasesenvironmental risk assessment of technologiesgreen technologieslife cycle assessmentmaterials for catalytic destruction of contaminants membrane technologies for environmental solutionsmicroplasti... management and removalnanotechnolog... of contaminants of emerging concernrenewable energy technologiessensorst... and remediation of contaminated land and soilvalorization of wasteswater and wastewater treatmentwaste managementSharing many members of its editorial team with STOTEN, you can be sure that Total Environment Engineering will offer the same rapid peer review service, to the same high standards.- ISSN: 2950-631X
Process Safety and Environmental Protection
Publication of the Institution of Chemical Engineers Official Journal of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering: Part BPSEP aims to be the principal international journal for publication of high quality, original papers in the branches of engineering concerned with the safety of industrial processes and the protection of the environment.Papers that deal with new developments in safety or environmental aspects, demonstrating how research results can be used in process engineering design and practice, are particularly encouraged. Experimental or theoretical research work bringing new perspectives to established principles, highlighting unsolved problems or indicating directions for future research will also be considered. The journal is especially interested in contributions that extend the boundaries of traditional engineering as well as in multidisciplinary papers.Papers related to environmental protection must take an integrated pollution control approach, demonstrating clearly that any proposed treatment method does not simply transfer pollution from one environmental medium to another, for example, from air to water or from water to solid waste. All such papers must discuss how any treatment effluents, spent adsorbents, etc., can be treated or disposed of safely, avoiding transfer of pollution to another environmental medium.For environmental protection, papers that are outside the scope are those that lack engineering aspects, including those that:use experimental techniques primarily to prepare and/or characterise various materials without considerations of process engineering design and practice;present primarily laboratory experiments of the effects of different parameters on behaviour of materials and pollutants (e.g. pH, temperature, mass of adsorbent, etc.) without further insights into the implications for engineering design and practice;focus primarily on adsorption models and curve fitting (e.g. Freundlich, Langmuir etc.); andcontain only chemical, physical and/or thermodynamic analyses.Core topic areas:Risk Assessment and Reliability Engineering • Risk assessment, risk management, consequence analysis, and uncertainty quantification. • Supply chain risk management. • Cyber and physical security vulnerability assessment. • Risk assessment of hydrogen-based technologies. • Human reliability analysis (HRA) and human-machine interface (HMI). • Reliability predictions of integrated systems and high-temperature power electronics. • Integrity management and reliability, availability and maintainability (RAM).Technical Safety and Loss Prevention • Fire and gas detection. • Firewater systems. • Functional safety and safety integrity levels (SIL) • Layer of protection analysis (LOPA) • Bowtie analysis. • Emergency response • HAZOP and other hazard/risk identification techniques.Modelling • Modelling liquid, gaseous, and two-phase releases and dispersion. • Consequence modelling, including: fire, explosion, toxic, eco-toxic effects and projectile impacts. • Methods, including computational fluid dynamics (CFD). • Accident investigation and modelling.Chemical Toxicity and Exposure Assessment • Toxic releases and exposure assessment. • Process plant health issues.Process Pipelines, Storage and Security • Process pipelines security and terrorism. • Pipeline leak detection and measurement and corrosion assessment. • Carbon capture and storage (CCS) and CO2 transport.Fire and Explosion • Fire, combustion, and explosion phenomena. • Dust explosions. • Fire and blast protection and survivability.Human Factors in Design and Management • HSE performance measurement including leading and lagging indicators. • Human and organizational factors in safety cases. • Human performance optimization by design. • SIMOPS (simultaneous operations). • Situational awareness. • Communications and risk control systems. • Resilience engineering. • Technical assurance and workforce training.Inherent Safety and Inherently Safer Design • Hazard identification • Design and development of new processes and equipment. • Methodologies for ranking inherent safety. • Retrofitting inherently safer solutions and upgrading existing plant for improved safety.Nuclear Safety • Waste disposal. • Design for decommissioning. • Passively safe reactor designs. • Nuclear reactor protective and monitoring systems.Reaction Hazards • Chemical thermal stability and thermal reaction hazards. • Influence of impurities on reaction hazards. • Development of reactivity hazard index ranking tools. • Runaway reactions, including detection and mitigation. • Compatibility/reacti... of chemicals involved in a chemical process.Industrial Hazards and Safety Cases • Major accident hazards • ALARP and cost-benefit analysis. • Industrial safety cases.Incident investigations and case histories • Case histories of incidents and lessons learned integration into design and operations. • Technical analysis of incidents. • Computational modelling to simulate actual incidents • Use of incidents in training and improvement of safety performance • Incident investigation methodologies • Incident databases and their applications.Air pollution prevention and treatment • Methods and technologies for prevention and treatment of air pollution • Air dispersion modelling • Prediction and mitigation of air pollution incidents • Health impacts from air pollutionResource and waste management • Recovery and recycling of materials and products • Energy from waste and alternative resources • Waste minimisation • Waste treatment technologies • Waste management: systems and processes for energy and material recovery and waste treatment;

Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment
Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment publishes original research on the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to those impacts, and their implications for the design, planning, and management of transportation systems. It covers broad aspects of the interaction between transportation and the environment, ranging from the environmental effects of a local transportation system to global implications of natural resource depletion and atmospheric pollution.The journal invites submissions of research papers that analyze broad environmental impacts from all existing and emerging modes of both passenger and freight transportation. Papers dealing with transportation infrastructure and the environment are also considered. The emphasis of the journal is on original scientific findings and innovative policy responses of a regulatory, planning, technical or fiscal nature. Articles should demonstrate generalizable policy and methodological relevance to research and practice. Submissions of an interdisciplinary nature are encouraged and should appeal to readers from a wide range of disciplines. TRD includes a section focusing on Disasters and Resilience with its own dedicated Section Editors. Transportation plays a critical role in the resilience of communities. Disasters are unexpected, low probability events which can overwhelm the capacity of systems to function and provide vital services supporting human health, environmental quality, and economic and social livelihoods. Transportation systems are essential to effective disaster response, relief, recovery, and mitigation. This section of TRD encourages transportation researchers from multiple disciplines to address the critical ways in which transportation science and the supporting theories, methods, and tools can be applied to increase societal resilience against all hazards, both natural and man-made.- ISSN: 1361-9209

Infrared Physics & Technology
The Journal covers the entire field of infrared physics and technology: theory, experiment, application, devices and instrumentation. Infrared' is defined as covering the near, mid and far infrared (terahertz) regions from 0.75um (750nm) to 1mm (300GHz.) Submissions in the 300GHz to 100GHz region may be accepted at the editors discretion if their content is relevant to shorter wavelengths. The very near infrared, VNIR, defined as 750nm-1200nm is subject to special consideration.Where a submission utilises the VNIR alone, or in conjunction with longer wavelengths and uses typically `infrared? technology such as InGaAs detectors, it is in scope.Where a submission utilises the VNIR and shorter wavelengths in the visible, and uses typically visible region technology such as silicon detectors, it is unlikely to be appropriate to this Journal. Submissions must be primarily concerned with and directly relevant to this spectral region. Its core topics can be summarized as the generation, propagation and detection, of infrared radiation; the associated optics, materials and devices; and its use in all fields of science, industry, engineering and medicine.Infrared techniques occur in many different fields, notably spectroscopy and interferometry; material characterization and processing; atmospheric physics, astronomy and space research. Scientific aspects include lasers, quantum optics, quantum electronics, image processing and semiconductor physics. Some important applications are medical diagnostics and treatment, industrial inspection and environmental monitoring.A fuller though not exhaustive list of topics would include: Astronomy, Astrophysics and Space ResearchAtmospheric transmission, turbulence and scatteringBiomedical and Medical applicationsCultural heritageEnvironmenta... applications: pollution and monitoringDetectors: quantum and thermalImage processingIndustrial applicationsInfrared lasers including free electron lasersMaterial properties, processing and characterizationNon-... testing, active and passive.• Optical elements: lenses, polarizers, filters, mirrors, fibres, etc.Radiometry: techniques, calibration, standards and instrumentationRemot... sensing and range-findingSolid-s... physicsThermal imaging: device design, testing and applicationsSynchrot... radiation in the infraredDuring submission, please suggest at least one and a maximum of five potential reviewers. You are strongly encouraged to submit recommendations for appropriately senior and knowledgeable referees having no connection to your work and not located at your institution, as this may speed up the processing of your manuscript. The editorial office may not use your suggestions, but they are greatly appreciated. Where the author works in a country with a small community of research workers in his or her field, it is highly desirable that at least two of the suggested referees are from another country.To be suitable for submission to this Journal, manuscripts should advance the field of Infrared Physics and Technology. Their target audience should be those working in the field of Infrared Physics and Technology. Papers using infrared methods, such as FTIR spectroscopy or thermography, in an essentially routine way to advance some other field, and of interest to other readerships, and generally not suited to this Journal.The Journal does include within its scope genuinely new applications of established infrared methods. In the field of medical applications such as the detection of breast cancer or diabetic pathology, submissions to IRPT should normally include advances in hardware or data collection protocols etc. Such studies are required to have adequate sized and well characterized cohorts. Clinical studies using standard equipment are generally not within the scope of the Journal. Similarly in the fields of hyperspectral imaging and near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy application of standard hardware and signal processing methods to a different agricultural product etc does not normally fall within our scope, whereas novel hardware or signal processing does.The Journal only publishes papers which are purely based on computer modelling without support from experimental results in exceptional circumstances when there is a clear reason to do so. These might, for example, include comparative studies of designs for large pieces of equipment such as satellites, FELs etc.Papers on advances in modelling techniques, appropriately validated, are welcome.- ISSN: 1350-4495
