The Journal of Environmental Management is a journal for the publication of peer reviewed, original research for all aspects of management and the managed use of the environment, both natural and man-made. Critical review articles are also welcome; submission of these is strongly encouraged.As governments and the general public become more keenly aware of the critical issues arising from man's use of his environment, this journal provides a forum for the discussion of environmental problems around the world and for the presentation of management results. It is aimed not only at the environmental manager, but at anyone concerned with the sustainable use of environmental resources.Research Areas Include, but are not exclusive to:• Resource quality, quantity and sustainability• Economics of environmental management• Transport and fate of pollutants in the environment• Spill prevention and management• Remediation of contaminated sites• Process modification for pollution prevention• Improved energy efficiency• Waste treatment and disposalPapers submitted should address environmental management issues using a range of techniques e.g. case studies, observational and theoretical analyses, the application of science, engineering and technology to questions of environmental concern or mathematical and computer modeling techniques with the aim of informing both the researcher and practitioner.

The Journal of Environmental Quality (JEQ) is a bimonthly journal published by ASA, CSSA, and SSSA. The JEQ editorial board consists of the editor, editors-in-chief of ASA, CSSA, and SSSA, technical editors, associate editors, director of publications, managing editor, and chief executive officer.

The 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.

The Journal of Hazardous Materials publishes full length research papers, reviews, and case studies which improve our understanding of the hazards and risks certain materials pose to people and the environment or deal with ways of controlling these hazards and associated risks. The Editors particularly welcome proposals for review articles. To limit the Scope the following areas are excluded: non-hazardous materials, work place health & safety, standard municipal and wastewater treatment processes including nutrient removal, greenhouse gas mitigation, and the manufacturing of explosives.The Journal publishes high-impact contributions on:Characterization of the harmful effects of chemicals and materialsMeasurement and Monitoring of Hazardous MaterialsTransport and Fate of HM in EnvironmentRisk Assessment and ManagementPhysico-chemical and Separation Processes AdsorptionIon ExchangeCoagulation/Flocculation/ PrecipitationMembrane ProcessesFlotationStabilization/SolidificationBiological Processes BiodegradationPhytoremediationAdvanced Oxidation Processes Photodegradation/PhotocatalysisH2O2FentonOzoneSonolysisPlasma ProcessesSafer and Cleaner TechnologiesThe Journal publishes papers with significant novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the right to decline, without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria, including papers that:Are very similar to previous publications, with changed target substrates, employed materials, analyzed sites or experimental methods,Deal with parameter optimization of known processes without new concepts and/or interpretations,Report the environmental analysis and monitoring of specific geographic areas without presenting new insights and/or hypothesis testing, orDo not focus on the environmental relevance and significance of the studied systems or materials.

The Journal of Material Cycles and Waste Management has a twofold focus: research in technical, political, and environmental problems of material cycles and waste management; and information that contributes to the development of an interdisciplinary science of material cycles and waste management. Its aim is to develop solutions and prescriptions for material cycles. The journal publishes original articles, reviews, and invited papers from a wide range of disciplines related to material cycles and waste management. The journal is published in cooperation with the Japan Society of Material Cycles and Waste Management (JSMCWM) and the Korea Society of Waste Management (KSWM).

Journal of Radiological Protection publishes articles (in English) on all aspects of radiological protection, including non-ionising as well as ionising radiations.
