Atmospheric Environment is the international journal for scientists and researchers in different disciplines interested in air pollution and its societal impacts. The journal publishes papers on the consequences of natural and human-induced perturbations to the earth's atmospheres, including processes involving chemistry and physics of the atmosphere as well as subjects related to human health, welfare, climate change, and environmental policy. Atmospheric Environment publishes original research and review articles, special issues, supplements, and New Directions columns. Papers should be novel and results based and present scientific methods involving atmospheric observations, modeling, and analysis extending from local to global scales.Key topics for stand-alone papers and special issues:-Innovative air quality observations including space based remote sensingAnthropogenic/biogenic emissions and inventoriesBiospheric-atmospheric exchange and depositionModeling and analysisAir pollution - climate change interactionsRadiative effects of aerosols, clouds, and albedo changesHealth and welfare effects associated with pollution exposure in a changing global environmentIndoor air pollutionEnvironmental policy and regulatory impactsField campaigns and laboratory studies of atmospheric physical, chemical, and radiative processesOur scope is broad, but Atmospheric Environment has air pollution as its core theme. We have to maintain this tradition, while attracting high quality papers of sufficient novelty to contribute to science and its implications for policy. Three fundamental questions help the Editors in reaching a decision on whether to send a paper out for review:1. Scope - is the work directly or explicitly related to air pollution and has it been prepared or framed in such a way?2. Novelty - does the work provide something new (new method, new results) or does it add significantly to the literature of air pollution science?3. Quality - does the work suffer from obvious quality problems, problems in method (e.g. insufficient sample size) or writing style etc.We try to be flexible with novel papers on air pollution issues even if they don't have atmospheric measurements (e.g. wind tunnel studies, dynamometer studies, remote sensing retrieval etc). However, we are still cautious of purely mathematical derivations, preliminary results or case studies, making sure that these represent substantial contributions to the science of Air Pollution before sending them for review. Air pollution should also feature in manuscripts that lie at the margins of our scope e.g. agriculture, meteorology, climatology, building comfort, carbon footprint, physiology, noise, engineering, occupational hygiene, meteorological visibility, heating and ventilation etcBenefits to authors:-We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Journal of Building Physics (J. Bldg. Phys) is an international, peer-reviewed journal that publishes a high quality research and state of the art “integrated” papers to promote scientifically thorough advancement of all the areas of non-structural performance of a building and particularly in heat, air, moisture transfer.Our goal is to enhance deeper insight and understanding, and enable the development of scientifically-based design tools, which are crucial for the implementation of a performance-based engineering approach in building design.Recently the scope of the journal has been broadened, in response to readers' interests--and as a result of the shift in focus of the leading-edge building research organizations. Formerly titled Journal of Thermal Envelope and Building Science, the vision of the JBP is to facilitate the integration and implementation of a scientific approach in building physics with the various domains of building performance.Buildings have enormous impact on global environment, renewable and non-renewable resources and quality of life and durability of the building envelope is one of the critical elements deciding upon the sustainability of built environment. The journal's expanded coverage will stress durability and long-term performance of building envelope systems. Specific stress is placed on environmental aspects and thermal protection of materials, elements and components used construction.

Aims and Scope The Journal contains scientific and technical material of broader interest in the areas of theoretical, experimental and computational hydraulics and fluid mechanics in various fields of application (rivers, coasts, environment, structures and industrial flows). This may also include results of field studies and interdisciplinary studies. Further included is publication of state-of-the-art papers, information which is suitable for the end-user (design and consultancy) and forum articles. Discussions to papers and technical notes are welcomed. The scope of the Journal covers the fields in which IAHR is active.
