Journal Guide

JEPP was created to encourage and disseminate quality research about how entrepreneurship and enterprise development are often the channel by which public policies affect economic outcomes, and by which outcomes feed back to the policy process.

JEEE is the first journal to focus on qualitative and quantitative research in all areas of business, entrepreneurship, marketing, and policies that inhibit or stimulate entrepreneurship, development and sustainability in emerging economies.

The Journal of Environment & Development (JED), peer-reviewed and published quarterly, seeks to further research and debate on the nexus of environment and development issues at the local, national, regional, and international levels. JED provides a forum that bridges the parallel debates among policy makers, attorneys, academics, business people, and NGO activists worldwide. Each issue contains articles, policy analyses, regional reports, conference reports and book reviews.

Journal of Environmental Biology is a broad-based, peer-reviewed, leading International Journal, and publishes original research papers dealing with all aspects of Environmental Sciences, Environmental Engineering, Environmental Pollution, Environmental Biotechnology, Toxicology, Forestry and related fields -- in English language.

The Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering (JECE) publishes full length original research papers, short communications, review papers, perspectives and letters to the Editor. Papers are welcome which apply chemical engineering principles to understand important environmental processes or that develop/optimize novel remediation processes.The Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering provides a forum for the publication of original research on the development of alternative sustainable technologies focusing on water and wastewater treatment and reuse; treatment, reuse and disposal of waste; pollution prevention; sustainability and environmental safety; recent developments on green chemistry; alternative methods of remediation of environmental accidents including but not limited to oil spills in water bodies and nuclear accidents.JECE calls for papers that cover the following fields:Physico-chemical processes:Adsorption/biosorption, ion exchange, membrane processes, magnetic separation, particle separation, phase separation, multiphase extraction, thermal/evaporative processesAdvanced oxidation processes:Heterogeneous catalysis, UV/H2O2, Fenton oxidation, ozonation, sonolysis, electrochemical treatment, wet air oxidationNanomaterials for environmental and chemical applications:Adsorbents, catalysts, and nanocompositesSustainable technologies:Water reclamation and reuse, carbon capture, renewable energy and energy recovery, waste minimization, treatment, resource recoveryJECE also covers the following fields:Clean synthesis and process technologySource controlProcess scale-up and economic analysisProcess integration and zero liquid discharge technologiesResource recoveryWater-energy nexusAnthropogenic activities and environmental sustainability

The Journal of Environmental Economics and Management publishes theoretical and empirical papers devoted to specific natural resource and environmental issues. To warrant publication in JEEM papers should address new empirical findings that are of interest to a broader audience, theoretical analyses explaining new phenomena or puzzles, or development of theoretical or empirical methods likely being useful for further research.Topics of interest include but are not limited to:• Analysis of environmental policy • Further development of valuation techniques and novel applications of valuation techniques to new data sets • Study of environmental behavior and responses to regulation • Analyses of exhaustible, renewable and non-renewable, resources and resource policy, notably the economics of fisheries, forestry and fossil fuels • Analyses of the carbon cycle, accumulating pollutants, such as greenhouse gases • Environmental problems in developing countries, such as degradation of natural resources and health problems caused by pollution • Topics of energy economics related to the environment • Topics of agricultural economics related to the environmentWe also welcome interdisciplinary work as far as it addresses environmental or resource economic issues requiring expertise beyond economics. Since JEEM is an economics journal, we do not publish papers that just combine methods of different disciplines but do not address economic issues in the first place.We usually do not publish papers that replicate standard empirical findings, or apply standard empirical methods to new but similar data sets. We usually do not publish theoretical analyses that are merely minor extensions or variations of known models and results. We do not publish papers that only marginally touch upon natural resource and environmental economics issues.In our review process, we prescreen all papers and immediately reject some. This includes papers we do not consider a good fit in terms of topic or methodology. This also includes papers that fall short of our high scientific standards. We will not reconsider papers already rejected for publication by JEEM, unless the editor in his or her decision letter explicitly leaves open this possibility.

Papers are encouraged on environmental issues relating to agriculture, air quality, benefit (value) transfer, biodiversity, carbon sequestration and taxation, ecosystem services, emissions trading, energy (renewable), environment and health, non-market benefits of forestry, land-use, noise, recreation, recycling, regulatory mechanisms, sustainable development, sustainable procurement, urban development, water supply, water quality, waste management, wildlife, and woodland.

All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees.

All peer review is double blind and submission is online via ScholarOne.

The Journal of Environmental Engineering and Landscape Management is a research journal produced by Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VGTU) and acknowledged by The Lithuanian Academy of Sciences and The International Academy of Ecological and Life Protection Sciences (IAELPS), which is an associate member of the Public Information Department of the United Nations.

The Journal of Environmental Engineering and Landscape Management is an international medium for the publication of original research on the environment with emphasis on changes caused by human activities and international research towards sustainability. The scope is multidisciplinary and international and the subjects covered include atmosphere and air pollution control and pollution mitigation technologies, water pollution control and pollution mitigation technologies, soil pollution control and pollution mitigation technologies, entrails of the earth, their protection, waste management, zero-waste technologies, environmental expertise, control over physical and technological environmental impacts and reduction technologies, nuclear hydro physics and radioactive pollution, modelling environmental processes, environmental monitoring, landscape protection, environmental ethics, environmental law and management, quality of indoor and outdoor environment. Besides, it publishes short reports and observations, reviews and bibliography, reports on conferences and workshops.

Publication of the Journal is funded by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Lithuania.

Starting from 1995, Journal of Environmental Engineering was published instead of proceedings from the previous research Environmental Protection of Vilnius Technical University (2 issues since 1993). For the period of 1995-1998, 6 issues were published (2 issues per year). From 1998, Journal of Environmental Engineering started to be published in volumes (1 volume, 4 issues per year). Since 2003, the Journal has been published under its current title - Journal of Environmental Engineering and Landscape Management - (1 volume, 4 issues per year) with proceeded issue numeration accepting the articles in English and Lithuanian.

Correspondence, including manuscripts for submission should be addressed to Prof. Dr. Habil. Pranas Baltrenas, the Editor-in-chief of the Journal: Department of Environmental Protection, Faculty of Environmental Engineering, Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, Sauletekio al. 11, LT-10223 Vilnius-40, Lithuania.
