The Journal of Cleaner Production serves as a transdisciplinary, international forum for the exchange of information and research concepts, policies, and technologies designed to help ensure progress towards making societies and regions more sustainable. It aims to encourage innovation and creativity, new and improved products, and the implementation of new, cleaner structures, systems, processes, products and services. It is also designed to stimulate the development and implementation of prevention oriented governmental policies and educational programmes.Cleaner production is a concept that goes beyond simple pollution control. It involves active research and development into new structures, systems, processes, materials and products that are more resource and energy efficient, whilst engaging and empowering people. Such approaches have become necessary for businesses, institutions, governments, and civil society to ensure ecologically, socially,and economically sustainable, consumption production and service strategies. These involve educational, training, management, and technical assistance programs, which are needed to accelerate the adoption of cleaner production and sustainability by industries, governments and universities.Authors are invited to submit papers from the following areas:Industrial Applications including:• Toxics use reduction in product design, process development and in the usage and end-of-life management phases of products• New and novel uses of materials and technologies• Improved processes through development and usage of "environmentally friendlier" technologies• Advances in Green Chemistry, Green Engineering and Green Architecture• Improved process automation and controlEnvironmental Management Initiatives:• Improvements in the integration of environmental management systems• Improvements in the integration of environmental, quality, health and safety and corporate social responsibility management• Improved life cycle management of products and services• Improvements in holistic environmental performance evaluation• Improvements in environmental reviewing, auditing and reporting• Advances in life cycle assessment and life cycle management• Advances in risk reduction• Advances in reduction of the life cycle usage of energy, water and other materials• Advances in applications of renewable energy and other low-carbon technologies and products• Improvements in corporate social responsibility• Advances in corporate sustainability reporting• Advances in Industrial Ecology and Regional Sustainable DevelopmentLegislation, Policy and Regulations:• Improved regulatory and policy initiatives designed to promote implementation of proactive and preventive approaches throughout society• Advanced governmental policies and programmes to promote the transition to sustainable societiesEducation, Training and Learning:• Improved educational & training initiatives on values, paradigms, concepts and tools to help societies make the transition to sustainable societies.

Frequency: 4 issues per year.Subject coverage. The journal aims to promote research and developments in geophysics and related areas of engineering.It has a predominantly applied science and engineering focus, but solicits and accepts high-quality contributions in all earth physics, including geodynamics, natural and controlled-source seismology, oil, gas and mineral exploration, petrophysics and reservoir geophysics.It covers those aspects of engineering that are closely related to geophysics or on the targets and problems that geophysics addresses. Typically this is engineering focused on the subsurface, particularly petroleum engineering, rock mechanics, geophysical software engineering, drilling technology, remote sensing, instrumentation and sensor design.Articles. Original contributions, not normally more than 8000 words (14 journal pages).Invited articles. Commissioned by the Editorial Board.

Journal of Industrial Engineering International  is a peer-reviewed open access journal published under the brand SpringerOpen, covering all aspects of aquatic science. It is fully supported by the Islamic Azad University, who provide funds to cover all costs of publication, including the Article Processing Charges (APC’s) for all authors. Therefore the journal is both free to read and free to publish in.The goal of this journal is to provide a platform for engineers and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in different areas of industrial engineering. All manuscripts must be prepared in English and are subject to a rigorous and fair peer-review process. Accepted articles will immediately appear online.

Industrial textiles, including coated and laminated fabrics, are increasingly used in many consumer, industrial, architectural, medical and military applications. The Journal of Industrial Textiles is the only journal devoted exclusively to this technology and its applications.Each quarterly issue publishes research-based articles by specialists on new developments in industrial textile materials (fibres, fabrics, coatings), their properties and performance, processing (including coating, laminating, and finishing), applications, and markets.Reports also cover:· new developments in safety and environmental concerns· flammability and fire retardance· standards and regulations· test methods and results.Each issue also includes a Patents review section.Article authors are industrial textiles specialists from around the world, affiliated with university textile technology faculties, textile research organizations, and companies active in this field. .
