About the journal

Aims and scope
Local Environment: The International Journal of Justice and Sustainability is a refereed journal written by and for researchers, activists, non-governmental organisations, students, teachers, policy makers and practitioners. Our focus is specifically on sustainability planning, policy and politics in relation to theoretical, conceptual and empirical studies at the nexus of equity, justice and the local environment. It is an inclusive forum for diverse constituencies and perspectives to engage in a critical examination, evaluation and discussion of the environmental, social and economic policies, processes and strategies which will be needed in movement towards social justice and sustainability - "Just Sustainabilities" - at local, regional, national and global scales.
Please note that we only accept submissions that share our focus. Based on critical research and practical experience, we are particularly seeking submissions from nations and continents representing different levels of income and industrial development and from countries in transition in order to engage in mutual learning and understanding.

Preparing Your Paper

Your paper should be compiled in the following order: title page; abstract; keywords; main text introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion; acknowledgments; declaration of interest statement; references; appendices (as appropriate); table(s) with caption(s) (on individual pages); figures; figure captions (as a list).
Word Limits
Please include a word count for your paper.
A typical paper for this journal should be no more than 8000 words, inclusive of the abstract, tables, figure captions, footnotes, endnotes.
Style Guidelines
Please refer to these quick style guidelines when preparing your paper, rather than any published articles or a sample copy.
Please use British (-ise) spelling style consistently throughout your manuscript.
Please use double quotation marks, except where “a quotation is ‘within’ a quotation”. Please note that long quotations should be indented without quotation marks.
Guidelines for Guest Editors
Occasions arise when it is useful for an issue of the journal to be dedicated to a particular topic or theme which is directly relevant to the journal’s readership. These guest edited “theme issues” address an important, timely, and/or emergent topic. They are expected to make a significant and important contribution to the existing literature. In the context of this journal the contribution will be theoretical and conceptual contributions to the broad topics of social justice and sustainability (see the journal’s homepage for more details on our scope and mission). We expect every issue, including themed issues, to reflect our overall standards of scholarly excellence. We further strongly encourage potential guest editors to examine several issues of Local Environment before submitting a theme issue proposal. Themed issues must make a conceptual or theoretical contribution. Themed issues can focus on a narrow, but deep, theoretical, policy, or empirical accounts, or broader representations of the range of diversity of commentary. In either case, even if the theme issue is motivated by an event (e.g., Rio +20 issue from 2012), guest editor(s) are expected to engage their contributors in a broader discourse, i.e., beyond a single case study of x or empirical account of y . All contributions, then, must address a particular theoretical or conceptual intervention that is identified and framed by the guest editor(s). The contribution of the theme should be clear at the proposal stage and, if the theme is accepted, it must be well developed in the subsequent editorial of around 3000 words. This is not to say that every submission must make its own theoretical contribution. It must be clear, however, how specific papers relates to the broader set of goals established by the guest editor(s). If a paper has a strong empirical orientation, it is ultimately the guest editor(s) responsibility to make the theoretical case for the submission in the guest editorial. The Proposal If you feel that your themed issue will reflect the concerns of the journal and meets the criteria set forth above, please email Julian Agyeman, Editor-in Chief, your proposal. He will forward it to the appropriate editors to assess your proposal’s viability. Prospective guest editors must prepare a themed issue proposal which clearly justifies the need for the issue, clearly explains the contribution to knowledge it will make, and makes connections to the journal’s scope and mission. A proposal must include the following sections: (a) Cover page: Identify the themed issue’s proposed title, names and contact details of the guest editor(s); (b) Summary section: What are the relevant literatures and the gaps, theoretical, policy, or empirical, that the issue intends to address? What are the contributions to knowledge the issue will make to this literature? You must also provide a justification for how the work will be relevant to the readers and issues represented by Local Environment . (c) Editorial experience: Provide a 1-2 page CV for each guest editor. Please indicate any previous editorial experience. Note that previous experience is not required and we encourage early stage scholars working on cutting edge concerns to propose an issue. (d) Editorial overview paper: The proposal should also include a substantive editorial overview paper. This should situate the issue within the relevant literature(s) and clarify the contribution of the issue. This is also the place where the guest editor(s) will establish the broader connections between specific papers and organizing theme of the issue. The connection to the order of the papers should also be specified. This should be a quality rough draft of the editorial. (e) Paper details: Extended abstracts, no more than 500 words, of each paper, with author names and contact details, should be included in this section. Each abstract should be well written and include linkages between and individual paper to the broad theme of the issue. At the end of each abstract the guest editor(s)the names and contact details of potential reviewers. Please see the journal’s website for guidance in selecting appropriate reviewers. Also indicate here what stage the paper is in and whether there has been an internal review process. (f) Detailed schedule: Please provide a detailed plan, with clear deadlines, for meeting the issue. The journal is limited in the number of themed issues it can publish each year. Proposals for special issues will be accepted twice a year, by January 30 th and June 30th. The editors will let you know if your proposal has been shortlisted. We can dedicate 120 pages to each issue. This means that a themed issue can only contain 7 articles plus the guest editorial. Having said this, it is typical for some papers not to make it through the peer review process so an additional 1-2 papers beyond the maximum for publication is acceptable. Role of the guest editor(s) If your themed issue is shortlisted, you should discuss and agree on an approach for the editorial process with the Editor-in-Chief. The journal uses the ScholarOne portal for managing submissions. Themed issues are no exception. Please consult the guidelines for submitting using this platform. Local Environment maintains control of reviewer selection—with guidance from the guest editor(s)—and the review process i.e., collecting papers, disseminating them, and managing the review process. In most cases guest editor(s) will contribute to assessing the papers once the reviews have been received. Again, our hope is to reach consensus on the reviews and final decisions, however, the final decisions on these matters rests with Local Environment editorial staff.
