Authors of toxicology studies must justify the concentrations that they are using by reference to environmentally relevant concentrations that have been reported in the literature.Bibliomet... reviews are no longer published in Environmental PollutionPlease 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.- ISSN: 0269-7491
Waste Management
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 characterizationMini... and reuseStorage, collection, transport, and transferTreatment (mechanical, biological, chemical, thermal, other)Landfill disposalEnvironmenta... assessments (including LCA and S-LCA)Economic analysis (including LCC)Policy and regulationsPlanningN... 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.- ISSN: 0956-053X

Journal of Materials Processing Technology
Formerly: Journal of Mechanical Working TechnologyThe Journal of Materials Processing Technology covers the processing techniques used in manufacturing components from metals and other materials. The journal aims to publish full research papers of original, significant and rigorous work and so to contribute to increased production efficiency and improved component performance.Areas of interest to the journal include:Casting and formingAdditive processing and joining technologiesMaterial removal processesProcessing for surface engineeringEvolution of material properties and functionality caused by different processing conditionsDesign and behaviour of equipment and toolsThe core interest of the journal is the processing of metals, ceramics, polymers, composites and other advanced materials, where the article is focused on the influence of the process on the materials and where there are not other more appropriate dedicated journals. For example, ductile forming of polymers is of interest, but the influence of polymer composition on properties is well covered in dedicated polymer journals.A typical article will examine the influence of process design, tool design, or process operating conditions on the properties of the material or the future performance of the equipment. Most articles combine appropriate quantitative analysis with well-designed experiments. The sciences of materials, tribology and thermodynamics are well covered in other dedicated journals, so these topics are of interest to this journal only when applied specifically to give insight into the processing techniques used in manufacturing components.The journal's Editorial Policy defines our basis for considering submissions. Typical published articles will contribute significant new transferable knowledge in the form of (a) an innovation or (b) a new insight into material processing in the form of a transferable qualitative or quantitative explanation of a difference between experimental measurements and the predictions of existing theory. 'Transferable' knowledge applies to materials or processing conditions broader than those tested within the article.The Journal of Materials Processing Technology generally does not accept papers in the following areas:Simulation with no experimental verification and/or which gives no new insight into the process.Experimental reports which do not provide a convincing analytical or physical explanation of observed behaviour.Topics that properly belong to the materials science literature. Examples include the synthesis of materials, chemical experiments and studies of material composition.The analysis of material properties, surfaces or product performance without reference to the processing which caused them.Statistical methods or techniques from Artificial Intelligence which treat the process as a black box.The operation of equipment, without reference to materials (such as tool path design in CNC machining), or the management of factory systems.As stated in the journal's editorial policy, the Journal of Materials Processing Technology does not accept multiple-part papers or case studies.- ISSN: 0924-0136
