Journal of Molecular Graphics and Modelling
The Journal of Molecular Graphics and Modelling is devoted to the publication of papers on the uses of computers in theoretical investigations of molecular structure, function, interaction, and design. The scope of the journal includes all aspects of molecular modeling and computational chemistry, including, for instance, the study of molecular shape and properties, molecular simulations, protein and polymer engineering, drug design, materials design, structure-activity and structure-property relationships, database mining, and compound library design.As a primary research journal, JMGM seeks to bring new knowledge to the attention of our readers. As such, submissions to the journal need to not only report results, but must draw conclusions and explore implications of the work presented. Authors are strongly encouraged to bear this in mind when preparing manuscripts. Routine applications of standard modelling approaches, providing only very limited new scientific insight, will not meet our criteria for publication. Reproducibility of reported calculations is an important issue. Wherever possible, we urge authors to enhance their papers with Supplementary Data, for example, in QSAR studies machine-readable versions of molecular datasets or in the development of new force-field parameters versions of the topology and force field parameter files. Routine applications of existing methods that do not lead to genuinely new insight will not be considered.JMGM is published in association with two of the largest and most active professional societies in the field: the Molecular Graphics and Modelling Society (MGMS) and the Computers in Chemistry (COMP) Division of the American Chemical Society. Several thousand computational chemists worldwide belong to these two societies and any research topic that may of interest to the membership is within the wide scope of the journal. It is not necessary to be a member of these professional societies to publish in the journal.Published in association with the Molecular Graphics and Modelling Society www.mgms.org and the ACS Division of Computers in Chemistry.- ISSN: 1093-3263
Progress in Nuclear Energy
Progress in Nuclear Energy is an international review journal covering all aspects of nuclear science and engineering especially applicable to nuclear energy. In keeping with the maturity of nuclear fission power, articles on various technical aspects of nuclear power plants including safety, siting and environmental issues are encouraged, as are those associated with economics, public policy, and fuel management. However, studies of new physics phenomena and engineering design and analysis tools and innovations will remain an important aspect of the journal's scope. Articles published in Progress in Nuclear Energy are either of a review nature or present new material in more depth. They are aimed at researchers and technically oriented managers working in the nuclear energy field.Please note the following: PNE seeks high quality innovative research papers which are medium to long in length. Short research papers should be submitted to the journal Annals of Nuclear Energy.PNE reserves the right to reject papers which are based solely on routine application of computer codes used to produce reactor designs or reproduce known reactor phenomena. Such papers, although worthy, are best left as laboratory reports.

Biosensors & Bioelectronics is the principal international journal devoted to research, design, development and application of biosensors and bioelectronics. It is an interdisciplinary journal serving professionals with an interest in the exploitation of biological materials and designs in novel diagnostic and electronic devices including sensors, DNA chips, electronic noses, lab-on-a-chip and μ-TAS. Biosensors usually yield a digital electronic signal which is proportional to the concentration of a specific analyte or group of analytes. While the signal may in principle be continuous, devices can be configured to yield single measurements to meet specific market requirements. Examples of Biosensors include immunosensors, enzyme-based biosensors, organism- and whole cell-based biosensors. They have been applied to a wide variety of analytical problems including uses in medicine, biomedical research, drug discovery, the environment, food, process industries, security and defence. The design and study of molecular and supramolecular structures with molecular biorecognition and biomimetic properties for use in analytical devices is also included within the scope of the journal. Here the focus is on the complementary intersection between molecular recognition, nanotechnology, molecular imprinting and supramolecular chemistry to improve the analytical performance and robustness of devices.The emerging field of Bioelectronics seeks to exploit biology in conjunction with electronics in a wider context encompassing, for example, biological fuel cells, bionics and biomaterials for information processing, information storage, electronic components and actuators. A key aspect is the interface between biological materials and micro- and nano-electronics.Whi... endeavouring to maintain coherence in the scope of the journal, the editors will accept reviews and papers of obvious relevance to the community, which describe important new concepts, underpin understanding of the field or provide important insights into the practical application, manufacture and commercialisation of biosensors and bioelectronics.- ISSN: 0956-5663

Journal of Aerosol Science
An International JournalFounded in 1970, the Journal of Aerosol Science is the first journal dedicated to the science and engineering of particles and droplets suspended in gases. It serves an interdisciplinary community spanning engineering, physics, chemistry, environmental science, and related fields, with a focus on advancing fundamental understanding alongside enabling technologies.The journal publishes original research and reviews that deliver clear advances in the fundamental principles governing aerosol behavior or that introduce enabling concepts, methods, or measurements with broad relevance. Submissions should demonstrate rigorous analysis, strong connection to underlying physics and chemistry, and novelty that extends beyond incremental application or routine use of established approaches. Editorial decisions are based on technical quality, depth of insight, and contribution to the field’s foundations and future directions.ScopeThe journal welcomes contributions across three core areas, with emphasis on work that advances predictive understanding, links scales, or enables new capabilities.1. Fundamental Aerosol ScienceTransport, deposition, and multiphase dynamics; nucleation, condensation, and evaporation; particle charging and collision processes; radiative interactions; aerosol formation in reactive and non-equilibrium environments; cluster and nanoscale aerosol physics; chemistry, thermodynamics, and phase behavior; population balance and kinetic theory; and multiscale descriptions that bridge atomistic to continuum behavior.2. Applied Aerosol ScienceNew and novel aerosol-based synthesis and manufacturing, including scalable routes to functional materials; high-temperature and reactive aerosols such as soot and plasma systems; novel filtration, separation, and control technologies; new material discovery; aerosols in energy systems; bioaerosols, health, and inhalation science where new physical insight is demonstrated; and industrial processes involving particle formation, transformation, or transport.3. Instrumentation and Measurement MethodsNew or significantly advanced techniques for aerosol measurement, including mobility and mass analysis, optical and spectroscopic diagnostics, single-particle methods, and in situ probes for reactive or extreme environments. Contributions should provide demonstrable advances in capability, resolution, accuracy, or interpretability. Methods that integrate data science or inversion approaches are encouraged when they yield new physical insight or measurement capability.Emerging DirectionsThe journal particularly encourages work in areas shaping the future of aerosol science, including:• Multiscale and data-enabled modeling that connects atomistic processes to macroscopic behavior• Aerosol science in extreme conditions, including high temperature, high pressure, and plasma environments• Directed assembly and manufacturing of functional materials from aerosol building blocks• Coupled aerosol processes in energy, climate, and industrial decarbonization technologies• Next-generation measurement systems, including distributed sensing and real-time diagnostics with physical interpretability• Interfaces between aerosols and biological, chemical, or electrochemical systems where new mechanistic understanding is developedOut of ScopeThe journal does not publish work that primarily reports routine measurements, incremental extensions of established methods, or case-specific simulations without generalizable insight. Studies focused on environmental monitoring, source apportionment, or large-scale atmospheric modeling are better suited to journals dedicated to air quality and atmospheric chemistry unless they introduce new aerosol physics, chemistry or broadly applicable methodology. Instrumentation papers must demonstrate clear advances beyond existing techniques. Numerical studies must provide new theory, methods, or validated insight into aerosol behavior. Results from widely-available computational fluid dynamics software and built-in particle trajectory models are not appropriate for the Journal of Aerosol Science, unless the uniqueness and novelty of the approach employed is clearly evident.- ISSN: 0021-8502

Computers and Geotechnics
The use of computers is firmly established in geotechnical engineering and continues to grow rapidly in both engineering practice and academe. The development of advanced numerical techniques and constitutive modeling, in conjunction with rapid developments in computer hardware, enables problems to be tackled that were unthinkable even a few years ago. Computers and Geotechnics provides an up-to-date reference for engineers and researchers engaged in computer aided analysis and research in geotechnical engineering. The journal is intended for an expeditious dissemination of advanced computer applications across a broad range of geotechnical topics. Contributions on advances in numerical algorithms, computer implementation of new constitutive models and probabilistic methods are especially encouraged. The application of newly proposed numerical methods and techniques to complex geotechnical engineering problems or to well-documented case studies are of interest. However, submissions that predominantly report results from proprietary codes, describe computer modelling of laboratory tests, field monitoring, or case histories, or develop new design approaches are only welcome if they demonstrate novel user-implemented computational methods. Mining, petroleum, or transportation engineering topics are usually discouraged as they align more closely with other journals. Since the journal is willing to accept longer papers if justified, authors are asked to avoid two-part submissions.Original contributions in the emerging areas of Machine Learning and Data Science are now welcome. Submissions should have a focus on geotechnical engineering problems and should provide either i) advances in foundational algorithms and computational frameworks or ii) innovative applications of physics-informed AI/ML techniques. Research results are sought that leverage the integration of observational data, fundamental physical laws and our domain knowledge in geomechanics and geotechnical engineering to offer new physical insights, uncover hidden intrinsic physical laws, and create new knowledge for both geotechnical researchers and practitioners.- ISSN: 0266-352X
Journal of Computational Science
Computational Science is a rapidly growing multi- and interdisciplinary field. It develops mathematical and computational models and uses advanced computing techniques to simulate these models, driven by data. Its overarching goal is to understand and solve complex problems. It has reached a level of predictive and interventional capability that now firmly complements the traditional pillars of experimentation and theory.The recent advances in experimental techniques have opened up new windows into physical and biological processes at many levels of detail. The resulting data explosion allows for detailed data-driven modeling and simulation which is no longer feasible using traditional analytical approaches alone.This new discipline in science combines computational thinking, modern computational methods, devices and collateral technologies to address problems far beyond the scope of traditional numerical methods.Computationa... science typically unifies three distinct elements:• Modeling, Algorithms and Simulations (e.g. numerical and non-numerical, discrete and continuous); • Software developed to solve science (e.g., biological, physical, and social), engineering, medicine, and humanities problems; • Computer and information science that develops and optimizes the advanced system hardware, software, networking, and data management components (e.g. problem solving environments).The Journal of Computational Science aims to be an international platform to exchange novel research results in simulation-based science across all scientific disciplines. It publishes advanced innovative, interdisciplinary research where complex multi-scale, multi-domain problems in science and engineering are solved, integrating sophisticated numerical methods, computation, data, networks, and novel devices.The journal welcomes original, unpublished high quality contributions in the field of computational science at large, addressing one or more of the aforementioned elements.- ISSN: 1877-7503

An International Journal Devoted to Experimental and Theoretical Developments in Interfacial and Colloidal Phenomena and their Implications in Biology, Chemistry, Physics and TechnologyReview articles on any subject within the realm of colloid and interface science will be deemed appropriate for this journal. The subject matter should be treated in depth as a critical review of the current state of the subject area, including an informed opinion of the author on the topic. The manuscript should compare and contrast the ideas in the reviewed literature; and deal with the limitation of the ideas discussed. As such the articles in this journal are normally authored by the recognized experts.Articles only reporting on original research will not be accepted for publication.Both traditional topics and those of emerging science and technology are welcome. In particular, topics in nanoscience and nanotechnology, and those relating to interfacial and colloid aspects of the biosciences are encouraged. Areas of both theoretical or fundamental interest as well as those concerning industrial applications, emerging instrumental techniques, etc. are appropriate.- ISSN: 0001-8686
New Astronomy
New Astronomy aims to publish high quality articles in all areas of astronomy, from the solar system through cosmology, and in all wavelengths from radio to gamma-ray. New Astronomy actively encourages the submission of observational, experimental, theoretical, and numerical work, but it does not consider for publication physics papers for which there is no clear pathway for observational tests of the ideas proposed with current or reasonably conceivable future missions, observatories, and experiments. We encourage potential authors to write pre-submission inquiries to the Editor-in-Chief if they are unsure if their work is within the journal?s aims and scope.In addition to articles with original results, New Astronomy accepts regular reviews as well as focus reviews. These last are modest length (typically <20 pages) review articles that cover recent developments within a field, rather than providing comprehensive reviews of the entirety of the field.Proposals for special editions, for example as conference proceedings, sets of papers related to new missions, or on other topics are welcomed.- ISSN: 1384-1076
European Journal of Agronomy
The Official Journal of the European Society for AgronomyThe European Journal of Agronomy (EJA), the official journal of the European Society for Agronomy, publishes original research papers reporting experimental and theoretical contributions to field-based agronomy and crop science. The journal strives to provide a forum for advanced agronomic research aimed at improving global agricultural systems, shaping the future of agriculture, and supporting the transition to more sustainable and resilient farming systems.The journal will consider research at the field level for agricultural, horticultural and tree crops, that uses comprehensive and explanatory approaches. The EJA covers the following topics:Crop Physiology: Research in plant biology focusing on physiological processes, stress responses, growth mechanisms, and improvement for enhanced crop performance.Crop Production and Management: Research on optimizing crop production practices, including irrigation, fertilization, pest control, weed management, soil management, crop rotation, and the adoption of innovative technologies for sustainable agriculture.Agroclim... and Modelling/Climate-Sm... Agriculture: Studies on the relationship between climate and agriculture, including the use of models to address key agronomic challenges, and climate-smart agricultural practices and strategies.Plant-Soi... Relationships: Research on the interactions between plants and soils, focusing on soil health, nutrient cycling, and sustainable soil management practices.Crop Quality: Research focused on improving the quality of crops, considering factors such as nutritional content, postharvest handling, and the effects of agricultural practices on food quality.Farming and Cropping Systems: Studies on crop rotations, intercropping, and agroforestry, aiming to optimize agricultural productivity and sustainability through diverse and resilient cropping systems.Agroecosyste... and the Environment: Research focused on the relationships between agricultural practices and the environment, including resource efficiency, biodiversity, and ecosystem services, aims to minimize environmental impacts and promote sustainable agricultural development.Organic Farming/Regenerative Agriculture: Studies on organic farming and regenerative agricultural practices, including agroecological systems, crop rotation, and sustainable methods to promote soil fertility, pest control, and environmental sustainability.Preci... Farming/Digital Agriculture/Smart Agriculture: The use of advanced technologies, including remote sensing, GIS, crop growth modelling, machine learning (deep learning), computer vision and data-driven approaches to optimize crop management in space and time. On-farm research and integrated precision farming systems are preferred. When determining the suitability of submitted articles for publication, we place particular scrutiny on the degree of novelty and significance of the research, the robustness of methodology, and the extent to which the study adds to existing knowledge in agronomy. Key criteria for experimental studies: Experimental studies must provide sufficient detail to ensure that results can be replicated under similar conditions. Research should allow for the verification of findings in different locations, contexts, or farming systems.Field experiments need to be either multi-locational or multi-year, and typically involving at least THREE years, and should be accompanied by appropriate statistical analysis. This is essential to assess the consistency of results across seasons, locations, and environmental conditions. Two-year studies should be considered exceptionally only if they are multi-locational or truly innovative.Studies should contribute to a deeper understanding of the biological and agronomic processes involved. Research should demonstrate new insights into crop growth, environmental interactions, or agronomic practices.Studies Typically NOT Considered for Publication:Confirma... research: Studies that simply replicate previously established results without offering new insights, processes, or significant contributions to the field of agronomy.Routine agronomy trials: Research focused solely on cultivar trials or conventional agronomy practices without identifying novel biological processes or mechanisms.Modelling studies with no innovation: Studies that merely test a model for its goodness-of-fit to observed data without addressing novel or significant agronomic questions. Artificial Intelligence (AI)-related studies: Studies that focus solely on developing AI tools without presenting practical applications or agronomic implications within the study.Glasshouse or controlled-environme... studies: These are typically not accepted unless they provide exceptionally strong evidence or unique insights that cannot be obtained through field-based research.Single-loca... or short-term field studies: Experiments limited to a single location or with very short durations (e.g., less than three years) that do not provide comprehensive insights into agronomic practices.Review articles are normally written on invitation from the Editor-in-Chief. Authors intending to prepare review papers for the journal are advised to consult the Editor-in-Chief before writing their reviews. Review articles should go beyond merely summarizing the current state of the art. They must provide a critical analysis of existing knowledge, identifying gaps, unresolved questions, and research needs. A high-quality review should synthesize findings, highlight controversies, and offer insights to guide future research directions.- ISSN: 1161-0301

Renewable Energy Focus
Renewable Energy is no longer a niche sector of novel technologies, and we have now implemented renewable energy to a scale where it is expected to triple capacity globally power by 2030 and increase more than 10x by 2050. This integration has had a significant impact on conventional energy infrastructure, creating a new grand challenge that the energy sector needs to address:How should energy infrastructure and markets evolve as the grid becomes moredecarbonizedandd... as greater digitization comes to the fore.And with this challenge in mind, what pathways (and their associated requirements) will enable renewable energy technologies to co-exist with other assets in a rapidly decarbonizing energy system?Renewable Energy Focus Journal aims to be a focal point for exploring where these complex forces of decarbonization, decentralization and digitization intersect with the scale up of renewable energy integrated systems, the integration of power and heat for integrated energy solutions across electricity, water, and Power to X. Integration with non-renewable energy sources often make sense for achieving decarbonization or regional and national scale energy transition goals. Papers that include such integration are acceptable for submitting to REF. The journal seeks cutting-edge, high-impact scientific insights across technologies, policy, finance, society and market developments.We serve multiple stakeholders, including:Academics and researchersEngineers... and the Finance communityThose with a keen interest in the scale up of renewable energy, such as NGOs, Associations, Governments and Societies.Renewable Energy Focus seeks to deliver high-value insights across the energy value chain through integrative, comprehensive, and leading-edge research - covering high impact innovations in renewable energy systems integration, modelling and analysis, policy, and business innovations. We accept Original Research and Review Papers that contribute substantial new science and insights on integrated renewable based power systems, and integrated systems solutions across electricity, heat, chemicals, fuels, and integrated systems.All research is subject to rigorous full peer review.We also encourage authors wherever possible to publish their data with us, either through supplementary material; on Elsevier's Mendeley platform; or by publishing a data article in Elsevier's Data in Brief Journal (which can then be linked to your article on Renewable Energy Focus). More details can be found in our Guide for Authors.To help you decide if your paper is in scope, here is a (non-exhaustive) list of subjects that we cover. Please remember that regardless of the overarching theme of your research, papers should focus in some way on aspects of renewable energy or its integration. Some examples include:Decentraliza... and its impact on decarbonizing the grid: This could relate to the integration of different technologies, advanced sensing and controls for highly distributed, decentralized integrated energy systems, storage technologies, and the ability to deploy energy effectively within different frameworks.How should the grid evolve to manage a complex interaction of different energy technologies reliably and economically, both in the developed and developing world?The role of Digitization and advanced IT technology to manage, decarbonize, co-ordinate and optimize the grid (and assets associated with it).How will market forces need to adapt to facilitate an energy transition (for example regarding Social and consumer attitudes and behavior, supply and demand, and the economics of integrating different technology profiles).How do the Power markets need to evolve to encourage continued investment in a broad and diverse range of technology profiles and energy systems - many of which have conflicting grid requirements, performance and outputs.What do we need to do to make the electrification of transport possible?- ISSN: 1755-0084
Carbohydrate Polymers
A Journal Devoted to Scientific and Technological Aspects of Industrially Relevant PolysaccharidesCarbo... Polymers is a major journal within the field of glycoscience, and covers the study and exploitation of polysaccharides which have current or potential application in areas such as bioenergy, bioplastics, biomaterials, biorefining, chemistry, drug delivery, food, health, nanotechnology, packaging, paper, pharmaceuticals, medicine, oil recovery, textiles, tissue engineering and wood, and other aspects of glycoscience.The role of the well-characterized carbohydrate polymer must be the major proportion of the work reported, not a peripheral topic. At least one named carbohydrate polymer must be cited and be the main focus of the paper and its title. Research must be innovative and advance scientific knowledge.Characteri... - For all polysaccharides or their derivatives, including those obtained from a supplier, essential structural information which will affect their behavior in the subsequent work should be given, along with a description of how that information was ascertained. Editors are unlikely to send papers for formal review if the glycan is not adequately characterized. Please read the guidelines Characterization of carbohydrates and related products carefully as it contains all relevant information.Hypothes... - Nearly all scientific papers benefit from inclusion of a statement of hypothesis. Such statements should be concise, declarative, and should describe the one or more key hypotheses that the studies upon which the manuscript is based were intended to confirm or refute. Inclusion of a hypothesis statement makes it simple to contrast the hypothesis with the most relevant previous literature and point out what the authors feel is distinct about the current hypothesis (novelty). It also permits the authors to describe why they feel it would be important to prove the hypothesis correct (significance).Topic... of interest to the journal: structure-property relationships analytical methods chemical, enzymatic and physical modifications biosynthesis natural functions interactions with other materialsTopics not of interest to the journal: Bibliometric reviews Studies that involve only modelling without any comparison of model results with experimental data, either carried out by the authors or from the literature. biological, physiological and pharmacological aspects of non-carbohydrate molecules attached to, or mixed with, carbohydrate polymers, unless the polysaccharide has a relevant and specific role materials science of biocomposites where there is no mention of any specific carbohydrate polymer, or the role of the carbohydrate polymer is not the major proportion of the study polyalkanoates, polylactic acid, or lignin routine studies of extraction yields without characterisation of the extracted polysaccharide under the different conditions studies of complexation of a drug with a single cyclodextrin studies of newly discovered natural polysaccharides or new polysaccharide derivatives where the structure of the polysaccharide (derivative) is unknown production and isolation of enzymes which act on polysaccharides (studies on the mode of action of an enzyme on a polysaccharide are within the journal scope)carbohydrate oligomers where the degree of polymerization is equal to or less than four treatments of cotton fabrics and cellulose-based paper where the research is largely not about the component cellulose itself use of carbohydrate polymers as a support material (e.g. in enzyme immobilization, chromatography, etc.) where there is no specific involvement of the chemistry of the carbohydrate polymer production of chars from polysaccharides, regardless of the application to which the char will be used.

International Journal of Solids and Structures
The International Journal of Solids and Structures has as its objective the publication and dissemination of original research in Mechanics of Solids and Structures as a field of Applied Science and Engineering. It fosters thus the exchange of ideas among workers in different parts of the world and also among workers who emphasize different aspects of the foundations and applications of the field.Standing as it does at the cross-roads of Materials Science, the physical Sciences, insightful Mathematics, and advanced Engineering, the Mechanics of Solids and Structures is experiencing considerable growth, in part as a result of recent technological advances. The Journal, an international medium of communication, encourages and fosters this growth by encompassing articles in all branches of fields that use mechanics to solve problems, ranging from fundamental physical, mathematical, and numerical aspects to the more applied. We aim always for the new, novel and original, substantive, inventive and enduring. Problems in linear and nonlinear material behavior and failure and on the response and failure of structures form the backbone of the journal covering both traditional and more modern aspects: included are inelastic material and structural behavior, instability and localization in solids and structures, mechanics of soft and biological materials and structures, micro- and nano-mechanics, architected and lattice structures, smart materials and structures, and multi-physics problems. Works in related fields such as heat transfer, wave propagation, modal analysis, optimization, concrete and geological materials, and the development of numerical methods are now supported by dedicated journals, but will be considered provided they are of broad interest and represent significant progress. Articles that make intelligent and insightful use of AI to enhance or supplement, but not replace, the laws of physics will be welcome.Emphasis is placed on contributions, analytical, experimental and numerical, which appear to be of permanent interest to research workers and engineers in the field. Papers that are merely illustrations of established principles and procedures, or either design oriented or geometry-specific, even though possibly containing new numerical or experimental data, will generally not be published. When outstanding advances are made in existing areas, or when new areas have been developed to a definitive stage, special review articles will be considered by the Editors. No length limitations for contributions are set, but only concisely written papers are published. Brief articles are considered on the basis of technical merit. Discussions of previously published papers are welcome.We expect submitted articles to be authored by the researchers themselves. While the use of Generative AI tools like ChatGPT is permitted to enhance the readability and language of the manuscript, it must be clearly declared in a statement at the end of the manuscript upon initial submission. Papers that do not meet this requirement will not be considered and may be returned without review.https://www.s...- ISSN: 0020-7683
Journal of Mathematical Economics
In the Editor's view, the formal mathematical expression of economic ideas is of vital importance to economics. Such expression can determine whether a loose economic intuition has a coherent, logical meaning. Also, a full formal development of economic ideas can itself suggest new economic concepts and intuitions.The primary objective of the Journal is to provide a forum for work in economic theory which expresses economic ideas using formal mathematical reasoning. For work to add to this primary objective, it is not sufficient that the mathematical reasoning be new and correct. The work must have real economic content. The economic ideas must be interesting and important. These ideas may pertain to any field of economics or any school of economic thought.- ISSN: 0304-4068
Trends in Environmental Analytical Chemistry
Trends in Environmental Analytical Chemistry is devoted to publishing concise and critical overviews of the rapid changes and development in the field of environmental analytical chemistry. The acquisition of good quality chemical data in environmental systems and the sound interpretation of this data is the basis for enhancing our understanding of the environment. TrEAC provides timely coverage of the novel and innovative use of analytical methods for the investigation of environmentally relevant substances and problems. Topics of interest include critical updates on the improvements in environmental analytical chemistry, achievements and challenges of modern techniques and possible future developments in the specific fields, such as sampling methodology, techniques for remote measurements, analytical instrumentation, miniaturization and automation, determination of trace atmospheric constituents of anthropogenic and natural origin, detection and identification of organic pollutants in water, soil and biota, determination and speciation of heavy metals and radionuclides in the environment, environmental references materials; method validation and chemometrics in environmental analysis.The aim of TrEAC is to publish concise reviews covering the latest advances in environmental analytical chemistry. Reviews should comprise about 4000 words and include several figures and tables. Reviews should interpret rather than be comprehensive. References should be limited to about 60. Primary research papers describing the results of the authors' research work are not within the scope of TrEAC. Please note that most articles published in the journal are by invitation of one of the Editors. If you wish to submit a paper to TrEAC and have not been invited by one of the Editors, please submit first a short proposal (max 1 page) to the Editor-in-Chief. All reviews will be subject to peer review and should be submitted through the Elsevier Editorial System.- ISSN: 2214-1588
