Journal Guide

The journal will also consider applications where health care provision is the focus. Coverage of veterinary topics will be included, and those with direct human health implications are especially welcome. The journal places special emphasis on spatio-temporal aspects of emerging diseases (e.g., avian flu, SARS), development of spatial statistical and computational methods, and novel applications of geospatial technology (e.g., GPS, GIS) for shedding insights on exposure and disease processes.

The journal accepts three different types of submissions:
1. Methods papers that outline new methodology in the areas of GIS, spatial statistics, exposure science, and/or epidemiology;
2. Case Study/Applications papers where recently developed methodology is applied to novel applications with a clear exposure/disease focus; and
3. Short reports where a) they are around 4-8 text pages in length b) they focus on an important novel development and c) the development should be capable of description within the page length. Case Studies progress reports in the form of 'what we have done so far' are not acceptable as Short Reports unless they comply with b) or c) above.

Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment publishes research papers, reviews and technical notes on stochastic and probabilistic approaches to environmental sciences and engineering, including interactions of earth and atmospheric environments with people and ecosystems. Its core aim is to bring together stochastic modeling research papers in various fields of environmental sciences and to provide an interdisciplinary forum for the exchange of ideas, for communicating on issues that cut across disciplinary barriers, and for the dissemination of stochastic techniques used in different fields to the community of interested researchers. Coverage includes modeling, measurements and instrumentation in the areas of Spatiotemporal analysis and mapping of natural processes; Enviroinformatics; Environmental risk assessment, reliability analysis and decision making; Surface and subsurface hydrology and hydraulics; Multiphase porous media domains and contaminant transport modeling; and more.  See full Aims

Strategic Planning for Energy and the Environment is a quarterly publication of the Association of Energy Engineers, Atlanta, GA. The journal invites original manuscripts involving strategic energy management issues such as management or energy policy.

Studies in the History of Gardens & Designed Landscapes addresses itself to readers with a serious interest in the subject, and is now established as the main place in which to publish scholarly work on all aspects of garden history. The journal's main emphasis is on detailed and documentary analysis of specific sites in all parts of the world, with focus on both design and reception. The journal is also specifically interested in garden and landscape history as part of wider contexts such as social and cultural history and geography, aesthetics, technology, (most obviously horticulture), presentation and conservation. From time to time issues are centered around themes, for example, the Anglo-Dutch garden in the age of William and Mary, eighteenth-century gardens of the Chesapeake, gardens of the Ancient Mediterranean, or rediscovering the British garden. The Journal publishes reviews and review essays of important literature. Peer Review Policy: All research articles published in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing.

Sustainability (ISSN 2071-1050) is an international and cross-disciplinary scholarly, open access journal of environmental, cultural, economic and social sustainability of human beings, which provides an advanced forum for studies related to sustainability and sustainable development. It publishes reviews, regular research papers, communications and short notes, and there is no restriction on the length of the papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research relating to natural sciences, social sciences and humanities in as much detail as possible in order to promote scientific predictions and impact assessments of global change and development. Full experimental and methodical details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. There are, in addition, unique features of this journal: manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas will be particularly welcomed electronic files or software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material we also accept manuscripts communicating to a broader audience with regard to research projects financed with public funds

Sustainability Science probes interactions between global, social, and human systems, the complex mechanisms that lead to degradation of these systems, and concomitant risks to human well-being. The journal provides a platform for building sustainability science as a new academic discipline which can point the way to a sustainable global society by facing challenges that existing disciplines have not addressed. These include endeavors to simultaneously understand phenomena and solve problems, uncertainty and application of the precautionary principle, the co-evolution of knowledge and recognition of problems, and trade-offs between global and local problem solving. The journal promotes science-based predictions and impact assessments of global change, and seeks ways to ensure that these can be understood and accepted by society. Sustainability Science creates a transdisciplinary academic structure and discovery process that fuses the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities.

AimsThe journal facilitates the confrontation and integration of scientific knowledge and policy development related to water quality and ecology. The journal will stimulate experimentation and innovation that can support decision making, to achieve effective and sustainable management of water and ecosystem resources. Contributions that design and evaluate adaptive and applied water policies at all levels are encouraged. Emphasis is given to the development of monitoring, assessment and modeling tools to analyze and optimize science-policy interacting mechanisms in the field of water quality and ecology.ScopeSustainability of Water Quality and Ecology will publish papers which include:• Interdisciplinary studies connecting research on water quality and ecology to science-based management and policy development.• Integrated modeling approaches for analyzing, assessing and forecasting ecological impacts of anthropogenic pressures, including climate change.• Development of water quality guidelines for ecosystems and the related products and services.• Innovative policy making for the sustainable use of water resources, via the integration of technical approaches with social, political, economic, health, psychological, pedagogical, law, policy and governance related aspects of water and ecology.The scope of Sustainability of Water Quality and Ecology includes fresh water, transitional, marine and ground water systems, as well as the related water exploitation cycles such as drinking water production and consumption and irrigation water use.Sustainability of Water Quality and Ecology welcomes practical studies based on experimental and field data, as well as innovative concepts, reviews and opinions in line with the above mentioned topics, both at a local as global scale.

Sustainable Chemistry and Pharmacy is an international journal suitable for the publication of original communications as well as review articles. In this it has a wide general appeal and accepts the full spectrum of high quality manuscripts from short communications to extended research papers as well as review articles. Papers describing new concepts or contributing to a better understanding of concepts related to sustainable chemistry and pharmacy are highly welcome. Papers should be of originality, novelty and uniqueness. A short communication should present a novel finding that warrants immediate publication.

All manuscripts must be written so as to be widely accessible and understandable to interdisciplinary and trans disciplinary oriented readers without neglecting the disciplinary excellence and clearness.

Sustainable Chemistry and Pharmacy does not publish research associated with 'end-of-pipe' or remediation issues, if they are not clearly related to sustainability.

Letters to the editor and discussion papers are welcome in order to provide a forum for discussions on a high scientific level. Additionally, a news section provides an interesting variety of news, facts, forthcoming events and conferences as well as book reviews.
