Journal Guide

Environmental Chemistry publishes manuscripts addressing the chemistry of the environment (air, water, soil, sediments, space, and biota). The scope encompasses atmospheric chemistry, (bio)geochemistry, climate change, marine chemistry, water chemistry, polar chemistry, fire chemistry, astrochemistry, earth and geochemistry, soil and sediment chemistry and chemical toxicology. The journal aims to facilitate links between these aspects of environmental science, and thus papers that are multidisciplinary, and papers that view the environment as an integrated earth system, are particularly encouraged.While focussing on the publication of important new original research and timely reviews, the journal also publishes essays and opinion pieces on issues of importance to environmental scientists, such as policy and funding.Papers should be written in a style that is accessible to those outside the field, as the readership will include - in addition to chemists - biologists, toxicologists, soil scientists, and workers from government and industrial institutions. All manuscripts are rigorously peer-reviewed and professionally copy-edited.The journal is published online six times per year.Publishing policyThe publishing policy of Environmental Chemistry is to accept only those papers reporting important new chemistry that enhances our understanding of the environment (air, water, soil, sediments, space, and biota). Papers that are multidisciplinary and/or that view the environment as an integrated earth system, are particularly encouraged. Papers that report incremental results, which do not have sufficient originality and significance, will not be recommended for acceptance.

Entomology is one of the series issued quarterly by the Egyptian Academic Journal of Biological Sciences, and is devoted to publication of original papers related to the interaction between insects and their environment. These include various morphological, anatomical, histological , ecological ,toxicological , physiological changes associated with individuals, and populations. In addition, the journal promotes research on the impact of living organisms on their environment with emphasis on subjects such a resource, depletion, pollution, biodiversity, ecosystem…..etc.

The IJEP is a refereed journal providing an international forum for the field of Environment and Pollution. One of three key journals (along with IJETM and IJGEnvI) which together offer complete coverage of key environmental issues, it addresses medium-term challenges involving scientific prediction, modelling and assessment, and social and economic policy areas.

Topics covered include:

• Energy demands and consumption in existing and future buildings - prediction and validation
• Indoor environment quality, including health and thermal comfort vis-à-vis energy
• Natural, mechanical and mixed ventilation
• Air distribution in buildings
• Application of solar and other renewable energy sources in buildings
• Energy balances in building complexes (residential, commercial, industrial, public and other buildings)
• Energy efficiency improvement measures of HVAC&R and other technical systems in residential, commercial, public and industrial buildings, and semi open built spaces
• Heat recovery systems in buildings
• Buildings and district heating and cooling
• Energy conservation in built environment
• Energy efficient buildings
• Building physics
• Energy sustainability, resilience and climate adaptability of buildings
• Evaluation and control of indoor thermal and lighting systems
• Building's total performance and intelligent buildings
• Links between architectural design, mechanical and lighting systems
• New materials in buildings and their impact on energy demands
• External and internal design conditions for energy efficient buildings
• Building envelope materials and structure energy performance
• Thermal energy storage and thermally active building systems - TABS
• Energy performance of buildings and modeling predictive control
• Zero CO2 emission - zero energy and energy plus buildings and their smart grid harmonized operation
• Residential/municipal energy refurbishment and renovation
• Life cycle energy efficiency of buildings and embodied energy
