The Journal of Environmental Management (JEM) is a premier, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing the understanding and application of environmental management practices. Our mission is to disseminate high-quality, original research that contributes to the effective management of environmental systems and the enhancement of environmental quality. Environmental management encompasses the systematic approach to dealing with environmental issues through planning, controlling, monitoring, and improving the interactions between human activities and the natural environment. This includes strategies for sustainable use of resources, pollution control, conservation of biodiversity, and mitigation of environmental impacts.

We also currently discourage submissions based solely on bibliometric analysis, aggregate econometrics, or qualitative social science. Submission of critical review and discussion articles is allowed, but such submissions must succinctly provide critical insights and novel thoughts that advance the field of environmental management in a specific topic area. Reviews that are overly lengthy (e.g., in the form of a traditional textbook, thesis, or dissertation-style literature review) or that simply summarize existing literature without providing novel, practical insights will generally be desk-rejected by an executive editor.Authors will be asked to provide a novelty and relevance statement indicating how the results are deemed to be original with respect to the state-of-the-art in the field, relevant and essential to the advance of knowledge on environmental management and applicable to a wider audience and wider contexts.Journal of Environmental Management is the companion title to the open access journal Environmental Challenges.We encourage those interested in organizing a special issue or a virtual special issue within the scope of the journal to fill out this form and contact Prof. Peter Hooda for more information. Additionally, we encourage potential organizers to carefully review the relevant requirements in the Guide for Authors before proceeding.

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.

Journal of Fluids and Structures

ISSN: 0889-9746
5 Year impact factor: 3.5
Impact factor: 3.4

The Journal of Fluids and Structures publishes original papers on all aspects of the interaction between fluids and solids. Studies of single-physics fluid or solid mechanics problems are welcome too, provided they are motivated by and directly contribute to the understanding of an associated fluid-structure interaction problem.The journal publishes theoretical, computational and experimental studies that provide new insight into the underlying physics and/or present novel methodologies. Studies dealing with specific engineering applications are welcome, provided they address clearly posed questions that are of wider interest, i.e. go beyond mere case studies.Authors must clearly identify the novelty of their work and should provide conclusions that put the specific result obtained in their study into a wider context.Numerical studies must include a clear assessment of associated errors via the provision of suitable mesh/timestep convergence studies; similarly, experimental studies must provide an assessment of experimental uncertainties.The journal has no hard page limits but expects authors to provide a brief statement justifying the length of their manuscript if it is close to or exceeds 25 pages (including figures and tables, both embedded in the text, which should be typeset with a reasonable layout, e.g. 10 or 12 pt font size and standard font).
