About the journal
The Journal of Environmental Radioactivity provides a coherent international forum for publication of original research or review papers on any aspect of the occurrence of radioactivity in natural systems. Relevant subject areas range from applications of environmental radionuclides as mechanistic or timescale tracers of natural processes to assessments of the radioecological or radiological effects of ambient radioactivity. Papers deal with naturally occurring nuclides or with those created and released by man through nuclear weapons manufacture and testing, energy production, fuel-cycle technology, etc. Reports on radioactivity in the oceans, sediments, rivers, lakes, groundwaters, soils, atmosphere and all divisions of the biosphere are welcomed, but these should not simply be of a monitoring nature unless the data are particularly innovative.
Research papers are also included which, by either experimental or theoretical approaches, aim towards an improved understanding of the behaviour, transfer and distribution of environmental radionuclides. Predictive modelling is particularly encouraged. Papers on dating methods are acceptable if they have clear geophysical or geochemical significance. Descriptions of experimental methods should be both highly original and specifically related to determination of low-level environmental activities.
The journal provides a vehicle for objective, open and peer-reviewed publication and discussion of the more ``controversial' aspects of environmental radioactivity, including assessments of health effects, criteria for discharge control and options for ultimate disposal of nuclear wastes.
Publication in this field is also encouraged in the related book series Radioactivity in the Environment designed to complement the coverage of the journal

Submission of a paper implies that it has not been published previously, that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, and that if accepted it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, without the written consent of the publisher. Submission of a multi-authored manuscript implies the consent of all participating authors.
All papers, which should be written in English, will be independently refereed.
Types of ContributionsOriginal papers; review articles; short communications; technical reports; news and announcements; book reviews; letters to the Editor.
Manuscript PreparationGeneral: Manuscripts must be typewritten, double-spaced with wide margins on one side of white paper. Good quality printouts with a font size of 12 or 10 pt are required. The corresponding author should be identified (include a Fax number and E-mail address). Full postal addresses must be given for all co-authors. Authors should consult a recent issue of the journal for style if possible. An electronic copy of the paper should accompany the initial submission and the final version. The Editors reserve the right to adjust style to certain standards of uniformity. Authors should retain a copy of their manuscript since we cannot accept responsibility for damage or loss of papers. Original manuscripts are discarded one month after publication unless the Publisher is asked to return original material after use.
Paper Length: Generally, the size of the manuscript should not exceed 6000 words or about 12 printed pages.
Abstracts: Each paper should be provided with an abstract of about 100-150 words, reporting concisely on the purposes and results of the paper.
Text: Follow this order when typing manuscripts: Title, Authors, Affiliations, Abstract, Keywords, Main text, Acknowledgements, Appendix, References, Figure Captions and then Tables. Do not import the Figures or Tables into your text. The corresponding author should be identified with an asterisk and footnote. Footnotes should be avoided if they contain information which could equally well be included in the text.
Units and Symbols: The metric system should be used for all scientific and laboratory data; if, in certain instances, it is necessary to quote other units, these should be added in parentheses. Temperatures should be given in the Centigrade or Kelvin scales. Radionuclide identities should be presented as the chemical symbol with the mass numbers raised to the left, e.g. 14C, 137Cs, 239Pu. The journal has completed its move to exclusive adoption of the SI radiation units, i.e. to the Becquerel (Bq), Gray (Gy) and Sievert (Sv) at the expense of the Curie (Cu) or disintegrations per minute/second (dpm/dps), rad and rem.
Maths: The unit billion (109 in America and 1012 in Europe) must not be used as it is ambiguous.
References: All publications cited in the text should be presented in a list of references following the text of the manuscript. In the text refer to the author's name (without initials) and year of publication (e.g. "Since Peterson (1993) has shown that..." or "This is in the agreement with results obtained later (Kramer, 1994)").
Citations: For three or more authors use et al. in the text. The list of references should be arranged alphabetically by authors' names. The manuscript should be carefully checked to ensure that the spelling of authors' names and dates are exactly the same in the text as in the reference list.
References should be given in the following form:

Bergeron, T.(1965). On the low level redistribution of atmospheric water caused by orography. Proceedings of the International Conference on Cloud Physics, Tokyo (pp. 96-100).
Illustrations: All illustrations should be provided in camera-ready form, suitable for reproduction (which may include reduction) without retouching. Photographs, charts and diagrams are all to be referred to as "Figure(s)" and should be numbered consecutively in the order to which they are referred. They should accompany the manuscript, but should not be included within the text. All illustrations should be clearly marked on the back with the figure number and the author's name. All figures are to have a caption. Captions should be supplied on a separate sheet.
Line drawings: Good quality printouts on white paper produced in black ink are required. All lettering, graph lines and points on graphs should be sufficiently large and bold to permit reproduction when the diagram has been reduced to a size suitable for inclusion in the journal. Dye-line prints or photocopies are not suitable for reproduction. Do not use any type of shading on computer-generated illustrations.
Photographs: Original photographs must be supplied as they are to be reproduced (e.g. black and white or colour). If necessary, a scale should be marked on the photograph. Please note that photocopies of photographs are not acceptable.
Colour: Authors will be charged at current printing costs. At present these operate as follows. Depending on the final size of the figure on the first page once it has been typeset the charges are:
(10 x 15 cm) US 400 dollars/NLG 743
(15 x 21 cm) US 450 dollars/NLG 891
(21 x 30 cm) US 576 dollars/NLG 1069
Subsequent pages will be charged at US 275 dollars/NLG 520 per page, regardless of the final size of the artwork. Each author will be billed individually for the colour in their paper.
Tables: Tables should be numbered consecutively and given a suitable caption and each table typed on a separate sheet. Footnotes to tables should be typed below the table and should be referred to by superscript lowercase letters. No vertical rules should be used. Tables should not duplicate results presented elsewhere in the manuscript, (e.g. in graphs).
Electronic submissionAuthors should submit an electronic copy of their paper with the initial submission and with the final version of the manuscript. The electronic copy should match the hardcopy exactly. Always keep a backup copy of the electronic file for reference and safety.
