Author Guidelines
Scope
Published since 1928, Water Environment Research (WER) is an international multidisciplinary water resource management journal for the dissemination of fundamental and applied research in all scientific and technical areas related to water quality and resource recovery. WER's goal is to foster communication and interdisciplinary research between water sciences and related fields such as environmental toxicology, agriculture, public and occupational health, microbiology, and ecology. In addition to original research articles, short communications, case studies, reviews, and perspectives are encouraged.
Topics of interest include:
Administration/Management
Biological Treatment
Environmental Biology
Environmental Toxicology
Fate and Effects of Pollutants
Groundwater
Health and Ecological Effects
Industrial Treatment and Reclamation
Land and Soil Systems
Microbial Studies
Physical and Chemical Treatment
Reclamation/Reuse
Stormwater
Surface Aquatic Systems
Treatment Plant Operations
Wastewater Collection
Manuscripts Acceptable for Consideration
Manuscripts may be submitted in one of the following categories. Both fundamental and applied Research Articles must be fully documented and interpreted accounts of significant findings. They should present an accurate account of the research performed by the authors and an objective discussion of its significance. Further, they should contain sufficient detail and references to published sources of information to permit the authors' peers to repeat the work. Short Communications may be short accounts of preliminary but significant findings of work in progress for which full documentation is not yet available or accounts of significant findings of abbreviated studies. Reviews provide in-depth analysis of important research topics. For reviews, consultation beforehand is necessary to decide on the relevance of the topic. Case Studies are dedicated to full-scale studies, with a strong focus on applied research. Perspectives allow experienced researchers the opportunity to provide their view, opinions, and outlook on selected subjects. Letters to the Editor on all published papers are strongly encouraged. They are to be critical evaluations or amplifications of papers published in WER and are to be limited to commentary on the work being discussed. A closing date for submission of Letters to the Editor is published in each issue. Authors of papers being discussed will be provided an opportunity to respond to all Letters to the Editor.
Manuscript Submission.
Manuscripts must be submitted to WER® via the Journal’s online submission system by a single corresponding author at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/wer . At the time of submission, authors will be asked to certify that the manuscript has not been published in part or in full elsewhere and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Previous publication or submission elsewhere will preclude acceptance. Note, however, that presentation at a Water Environment Federation conference does not preclude review and consideration of publication. Authors will also be asked to reveal any potential conflict of interest (see below), proprietary consideration, contractual obligation, pending legal activity, and so forth, that might be affected by publication of the manuscript. As well, authors will be asked to identify any related manuscripts that are under editorial consideration or in press and indicate the relationships of the manuscripts to the one being submitted. A list of four potential reviewers with names, complete addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses must be provided. Persons affiliated with either the authors' research or who are from the same company, organization, or institution will not be accepted, however.
For more details on how to use ScholarOne, visit www.wileyauthors.com/scholarone. Note, this journal uses iThenticate’s CrossCheck software to detect instances of overlapping and similar text in submitted manuscripts.
If an author whose submission is rejected wants to resubmit his/her article, he/she must thoroughly revise their submission with a detailed response to the reviewers and obtain permission from the previous handling editor.
Questions about manuscript submissions should be directed to the WER® Editorial Office, werjournal@wiley.com
Free Format submission
Water Environment Research now offers Free Format submission for a simplified and streamlined submission process.
Before you submit, you will need:
Your manuscript: this should be an editable file including text, figures, and tables, or separate files – whichever you prefer. All required sections should be contained in your manuscript, including abstract, introduction, methods, results, and conclusions. Figures and tables should have legends. Figures should be uploaded in the highest resolution possible. References may be submitted in any style or format, as long as it is consistent throughout the manuscript. Supporting information should be submitted in separate files. If the manuscript, figures or tables are difficult for you to read, they will also be difficult for the editors and reviewers, and the editorial office will send it back to you for revision. Your manuscript may also be sent back to you for revision if the quality of English language is poor.
