Journal Guide

Environmental and Ecological Statistics broadly covers theory and methods, case studies and applications, environmental change and statistical ecology, environmental health statistics and stochastics, and related areas. Special features include invited discussion papers; research communications; technical notes and consultation corner; mini-reviews; letters to the Editor; news; views and announcements; hardware and software reviews; data management, etc.

Aims and Scope of the Journal Environmental and Experimental Botany:Environmental and Experimental Botany (EEB) publishes research papers on the physical, chemical, biological, molecular mechanisms and processes involved in the responses of plants to their environment.In addition to research papers, the journal includes review articles. Submission is in agreement with the Editors-in-Chief.The Journal also publishes special issues which are built by invited guest editors and are related to the main themes of EEB.The areas covered by the Journal include:(1) Responses of plants to heavy metals and pollutants(2) Plant/water interactions (salinity, drought, flooding)(3) Responses of plants to radiations ranging from UV-B to infrared(4) Plant/atmosphere relations (ozone, CO2 , temperature)(5) Ecophysiology of Northern plants under global change and environmental stress(6) Biotic interactions involving environmental factors.Each submitted manuscript related to these areas should be preferably based on an explicitly elaborated mechanistic hypothesis.The following types of manuscripts are not suitable for EEB: field monitoring surveys, pure mathematical modeling without experimentations, pure correlative works, applied papers on agriculture and phytopathology, studies of plant biology, gene expression and molecular works without considering environmental aspects.

Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis publishes original research articles on environmental mutagenesis. It will publish manuscripts in the six general areas of mechanisms of mutagenesis; genomics; DNA damage; replication, recombination, and repair; public health; and DNA technology. Subsumed under these six general areas are subject matters that are appropriate for inclusion in EMM. Mechanisms of Mutagenesis.

The primary concern of Environmental & Resource Economics is the application of economic theory and methods to environmental issues and problems that require detailed analysis in order to improve management strategies. The contemporary environmental debate is in a constant state of flux, with new or relatively unexplored topics continually emerging. The Journal provides a forum for the further exploration of causes, consequences and policy responses linked to these topics, across a range of spatial and temporal scales up to the global dimension. Areas of particular interest include evaluation and development of instruments of environmental policy; cost-benefit and cost effectiveness analysis; sectoral environmental policy impact analysis; modeling and simulation; institutional arrangements; resource pricing and the valuation of environmental goods; and indicators of environmental quality. The contents are chosen for their relevance to the process of policy formulation and application.

Energy and alternative energy supplies; non renewable resources; climate change; human population growth; food production, distribution and security; toxic wastes; air pollution; loss of agricultural land; source water and potable water; public health infrastructure; environmental borne pathogens; urban ecology and planning; environmental technologies; transportation; the environment and the economy are key concerns shared by industry, governmental leaders and environmental professionals. This journal acts as a catalyst for environmental education, identifying available educational opportunities, and providing necessary guidelines and the missing framework for defining the more viable management mechanisms useful to industry, governmental policy-makers and environmental professionals.

Environments (ISSN 2076-3298) is an international and cross-disciplinary scholarly open access journal on the advances, challenges in environments, technology and policy. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Electronic files and software regarding the full details of the calculation or experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary electronic material.

Aims and Scope Environmetrics. the official journal of The International Environmetrics Society (TIES). an Association of the International Statistical Institute. is devoted to the dissemination of high-quality quantitative research in the environmental sciences. broadly construed. The journal welcomes pertinent and innovative submissions from applied mathematics. engineering and signal processing. statistics. risk analysis. and other quantitative disciplines. Articles must answer important scientific questions in the environmental sciences or develop novel methodology with clear applications to environmental science. New methodology should be illustrated with recent environmental data. Readership Professional statisticians and researchers concerned with environmental. ecological and biological sciences.

Enzyme and Microbial Technology is an international, peer-reviewed journal publishing original research and reviews, of biotechnological significance and novelty, on basic and applied aspects of the science and technology of processes involving the use of enzymes, micro-organisms, animal cells and plant cells.We especially encourage submissions on:Biocatalysis and the use of Directed Evolution in Synthetic Biology and BiotechnologyBiotechnological Production of New Bioactive Molecules, Biomaterials, Biopharmaceuticals, and BiofuelsNew Imaging Techniques and Biosensors, especially as applicable to Healthcare and Systems BiologyNew Biotechnological Approaches in Genomics, Proteomics and MetabolomicsMetabolic Engineering, Biomolecular Engineering and NanobiotechnologyManuscripts which report isolation, purification, immobilization or utilization of organisms or enzymes which are already well-described in the literature are not suitable for publication in EMT, unless their primary purpose is to report significant new findings or approaches which are of broad biotechnological importance. Similarly, manuscripts which report optimization studies on well-established processes are inappropriate. EMT does not accept papers dealing with mathematical modeling unless they report significant, new experimental data.
