About the journal
LCA is a process to evaluate the environmental burdens associated with a product, process, or activity by identifying and quantifying energy and materials used and wastes released to the environment; to assess the impact of those energy and material uses and releases to the environment; and to identify and evaluate opportunities to affect environmental improvements.
Aim and Scope
The International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment (Int J LCA) is the first journal devoted entirely to LCA. LCA has become a recognized instrument to assess the ecological burdens and impacts connected with products and systems, or, more generally, with human activities.
The LCA-Journal - which has been expanded by a section on Life Cycle Management (LCM) - is a forum for
- Scientists developing LCA and LCM
- LCA and LCM practitioners
- Managers concerned with environmental aspects of products
- Governmental environmental agencies responsible for product quality
- Scientific and industrial societies involved in LCA development
- Ecological institutions and bodies
Topics
- Papers on the improvement and development of LCA methodology
- Social and political acceptance of LCA
- Governmental activities + EC, OECD, ISO
- Examples from industrial applications
- "Historical series": LCA How it came about
- Energy analysis
- Short versions of actual LCAs and case studies
- LCA-Peer reviews
- LCA and eco-labeling
- Reports on:
- LCA data banks
- LCA software
- LCA standardization
- LCA-active groups
- LCA workshops, symposia, conferences
- Activities within UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme)
- Activities within SETAC (Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry), SETAC-Europe, SETAC-GLB (SETAC-German Language Branch)
- Activities within UNEP/SETAC Life Cycle Initiative
- Governmental Activities + EC, OECD, ISO
- National activities
Target Groups
The target group of the journal is partly identical with the groups listed above (see Aim and Scope). It is to be expected, however, that decision makers in industry and government, consumer advisers, ecologically engaged groups and individuals, and quality managers, will also be potential readers and authors.
Geographically, the following countries are especially engaged in LCA and m

This abstract must present the following structure:
?Goal, Scope and Background
?Methods (or Main Features)
?Results and Discussion
?Conclusion
?Recommendation and Perspective (Outlook)
After having studied the abstract, the Editor-in-Chief will then either invite the author to submit the complete paper or discuss further details with him which he thinks may prove to be necessary.
The manuscript must completely reflect the author guidelines. Among others, figures and tables have to be embedded, whereas the final submission requires text, figures, tables, list of figure legends and table captions to be stored as separate files. The Publisher Editor will screen the manuscript in terms of the author guidelines. If the paper does not satisfy the guidelines, it will be returned for further improvement. Otherwise it will electronically be forwarded to the Editor-in-Chief for processing and supervising the review procedure.
To authors from non-English language countries:
To have the best possible pre-requisition for the review process, please ask a native speaker to check the quality of the English language and, if necessary, to improve it before you submit the complete paper.
