Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Guide for Authors
Scope of the EES journal
A multi-disciplinary journal that focuses on understanding the exposure and effects of environmental contamination on organisms including human health. The scope of the journal covers three main themes. The topics within these themes are indicated below (but are not limited to) the following:
Ecotoxicology
Aquatic and terrestrial ecotoxicology of organisms including microbes, invertebrates, vertebrate animals and plants. Also mesocosm or field studies informing on fate and effects.
Mechanistic studies relating exposure, bioavailability and effects.
Molecular to whole organism studies, including animal behaviour and population effects.
Methods in ecotoxicology that address modes of action including omics, systems biology, quantitative measurements in living cells/tissues, biomarkers, histopathology, ecophysiology.
Environmental Chemistry
Soil, sediment and water chemistry that explains the fate, behaviour, sinks and effects of toxic substances such as metals, industrial and agrochemicals, nanomaterials, plastics and emerging contaminants.
Studies that identify source apportionment, spatial or temporal distribution of toxic substances, chemical speciation, persistence and transformations in the environment.
Mixtures effects and interaction with environmental factors such as pH, organic matter, temperature and salinity.
Remediation of wastewater and sludge, biosorbants, biochars, green chemistry, chemical sensors and biosensor technology.
Environmental Safety
Epidemiological studies linking environmental contamination to human health effects.
Molecular mechanism-based environmental toxicological studies using animal and human cells or animal models to evaluate hazards of air pollution, groundwater and drinking water contaminations, and environmental health and safety impacts from persistent toxic substances in the environment and food chain.
Mechanistic elucidation of detrimental effects upon exposure to various contaminants at cellular and molecular levels and novel method development for ecotoxicological and environmental toxicological research.
Evaluation of exposure, toxicity, and environmental risk using computational methods, such as big data and quantitative structure toxicity relationship modeling.
Types of paper
The journal publishes regular research articles. Regular research articles must not exceed 8,000 words. Word limit here is for text only. In principle the number of tables and figures should not collectively exceed seven. Any exceptions should require approval from editors. Review articles are welcome, but uninvited review article submissions will be critically assessed by editors. Correspondence articles must be a specific concise point on a very hot topic or controversial issue, and are not intended for short communication of partial studies, or preliminary work. They should not exceed 2000 words with maximum one figure or table and less than 10 references.
Authors may provide supporting information (for manuscripts exceeding the recommended length), and this material will be made available online.
Submission checklist
