About the journal
Description
Environmental Science and Policy promotes communication among government, business and industry, academia, and non-governmental organisations who are instrumental in the solution of environmental problems. It also seeks to advance interdisciplinary research of policy relevance on environmental issues such as climate change, biodiversity, environmental pollution and wastes, renewable and non-renewable natural resources, and the interactions between these issues. The journal emphasises the linkages between these environmental issues and social and economic issues such as production, transport, consumption, growth, demographic changes, well-being, and health. However, the subject coverage will not be restricted to these issues and the introduction of new dimensions will be encouraged.
Editorial Policy:
Environmental Science and Policy will publish original research papers, research and policy reviews and notes, forum discussion of published work and book reviews in English. Submitted papers should address environmental issues of international significance, aim at informing policy debates and making, and be of international relevance. Hence, manuscripts focusing on local issues are welcome if they suggest research strategies or offer lessons that valuable more generally. Manuscripts which reveal the need for further scientific research are also welcome. All contributions will be independently reviewed. Proposals for ordinary and guest-edited special issues are encouraged and welcomed.

Editorial Policy:
The journal will publish original research papers, research and policy reviews and notes, forum discussion of published work and book reviews. Submitted papers should address environmental issues of international significance, aim at informing policy debates and policy making and be of international relevance.
I. SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
Submission for all types of manuscripts to the journal Environmental Science and Policy proceeds totally online which can be accessed via the Elsevier Editorial System (EES) Website for this journal at:
 http://ees.elsevier.com/envsci
You will be guided stepwise through the creation and uploading of the various files. When submitting a manuscript to Elsevier Editorial System, authors need to provide an electronic version of their manuscript. For this purpose only original source files are allowed, so no PDF files. Authors should select a category designation for their manuscripts (article, priority communication, research note, etc.). Once the uploading is done, the system automatically generates an electronic (PDF) proof, which is then used for reviewing. All correspondence, including the editor's decision and request for revisions, will be by e-mail.
If online submission is not possible, manuscripts may be submitted by sending the source files on disk together with a matching hard copy (both text and figures and tables) by registered mail to the editorial office (Please note that this is not the preferred way of submission and could cause a considerable delay in publication of the article.)
Environmental Science and Policy
Environmental Change Institute
Oxford University Centre for the Environment
Dyson Perrins Building
South Parks Road
Oxford OX1 3QY
United Kingdom.
Also other correspondence should be sent to this postal address or to the e-mail address of the editorial office: esp@eci.ox.ac.uk.
By submitting a paper to Environmental Science and Policy the authors confirm 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.
Review process:
All eligible papers are reviewed on the basis of the criteria of originality, quality, policy relevance and suitability for interdisciplinary audiences. Authors are asked to identify and to submit contact details for three potential reviewers of their manuscript. Manuscripts are reviewed by at least two reviewers chosen by the editors from among the suggested and other potential reviewers. The authors may be requested to revise conditionally accepted manuscripts within 8 weeks of the receipt of reviews. The Editor-in-Chief approves manuscripts for publication.
II. PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPT
General:
We accept most wordprocessing formats, but Word, WordPerfect or LaTeX is preferred. Always keep a backup copy of the electronic file for reference and safety. Save your files using the default extension of the program used.
Wordprocessor Document
It is important that the file be saved in the native format of the wordprocessor used. The text should be in single-column format. Keep the layout of the text as simple as possible. Most formatting codes will be removed and replaced on processing the article. In particular, do not use the wordprocessor's options to justify text or to hyphenate words. However, do use bold face, italics, subscripts, superscripts etc. Do not embed "graphically designed" equations or tables, but prepare these using the wordprocessor's facility. When preparing tables, if you are using a table grid, use only one grid for each individual table and not a grid for each row. If no grid is used, use tabs, not spaces, to align columns. The electronic text should be prepared in a way very similar to that of conventional manuscripts (see also the Author Gateway's Guide to Publishing with Elsevier: http://authors.elsevier.com). Do not import the figures into the text file but, instead, indicate their approximate locations directly in the electronic text and on the manuscript. See also the section on Preparation of electronic illustrationsand tables.
To avoid unnecessary errors you are strongly advised to use the "spellchecker" function of your wordprocessor.
LaTeX Document
If the LaTeX file is suitable, proofs will be produced without rekeying the text. The article should preferably be written using Elsevier's document class "elsart", or alternatively the standard document class "article".
The Elsevier LaTeX package (including detailed instructions for LaTeX preparation) can be obtained from the Author Gateway's Quickguide: http://authors.elsevier.com/latex. It consists of the files: elsart.cls, guidelines for users of elsart, a template file for quick start, and the instruction booklet "Preparing articles with LaTeX
Preparation of Text:
General:
•Please write your text in good English (American or British usage is accepted, but not a mixtureof these).
•Use line numbering throughout the document.
•Italics are not to be used for expressions of Latin origin, for example, in vivo, et al., per se.
•Use decimal points (not commas); use a space for thousands (10 000 and above).
•Footnotes (except for table footnotes) should be identified with superscript Arabic numbers. Endnotes are not normally acceptable .
Language Editing:
International Science Editing and Asia Science Editing can provide English language and copyediting services to authors who want to publish in scientific, technical and medical journals and need assistance before they submit their article or, before it is accepted for publication. Authors can contact these services directly: International Science Editing ( http://www.internationalscienceediting.com) and Asia Science Editing ( http://www.asiascienceediting.com) or, for more information about language editing services, please contactauthorsupport@elsevier.com who will be happy to deal with any questions.
Please note Elsevier neither endorses nor takes responsibility for any products, goods or services offered by outside vendors through our services or in any advertising. For more information please refer to our terms and conditions ( http://authors.elsevier.com/terms_and_conditions.html).
The manuscript should be organized in the following order:

Appendices
References:
Please see section III for more information.
A biographical note of each author of no more than 100 words each
Tables and figures:
Please see section IV for more information.
Further Information On:
Units: The SI system should be used for all scientific and laboratory data. If it is necessary to use other units they should be added in parentheses. Temperatures should be given in degrees Celsius. Where units or abbreviations may cause ambiguity or be misunderstood by an international readership, units should be explained and abbreviations spelled out in full. For example, the unit 'billion' should be qualified when used.
Formulae: Formulae should be numbered consecutively in the right-hand side of the column. Vectors and matrices should be clearly indicated. Special symbols should be identified in the margin. Care should be taken to avoid confusion between letters and numerals.
III. 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)'). For three or more authors use the first author followed by 'et al.', in the text but indicate all authors in the reference list. The list of references should be arranged alphabetically by authors' names. Ensure that the spelling of authors' names and dates is exactly the same in the text as in the reference list.

Digital Object Identifier (DOI):
In addition to regular bibliographic information, the digital object identifier (DOI) may be used to cite and link to electronic documents. The DOI consists of a unique alpha-numeric character string which is assigned to a document by the publisher upon the initial electronic publication. The assigned DOI never changes. Therefore, it is an ideal medium for citing a document, particularly 'Articles in press' because they have not yet received their full bibliographic information. The correct format for citing a DOI is shown as follows (example taken from a document in this journal):
doi:10.1016/j.envsci.2005.01.001
Please give as much bibliographic information as possible with the DOI. Please give the name(s) of the author(s), title of the paper, journal name and if possible year of publication.
When you use the DOI to create URL hyperlinks to documents on the web, they are guaranteed never to change.
IV. PREPARATION OF ILLUSTRATIONS AND TABLES
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.
Please provide all illustrations as separate files.
A detailed guide on electronic artwork is available on our website: http://authors.elsevier.com/artwork. You are urged to visit this site; some excerpts from the detailed information are given here.
Colour figures in the printed issue can be accepted only if the authors defray the full cost. However, if together with your accepted article, you submit usable colour figures, then Elsevier will ensure, at no additional charge, that these figures will appear in colour on the Web (e.g., ScienceDirect and other sites) regardless of whether these illustrations are reproduced in colour in the printed version. Please be informed that colour figure costs are EURO 350 for every first page. All subsequent pages cost EURO 175.
Number tables consecutively in accordance with their appearance in the text. Place footnotes to tables below the table body and indicate them with superscript lowercase letters. Avoid vertical rules. Be sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the data presented in tables do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article.
V. PROOFS
Proofs will be sent to the author (first-named author if no corresponding author is identified on multi-authored papers) by PDF wherever possible and should be returned by email within 48 hours of receipt. Corrections should be restricted to typesetting errors; any other amendments made may be charged to the author. Any queries should be answered in full. Elsevier will do everything possible to get your article corrected and published as quickly and accurately as possible. Therefore, it is important to ensure that all of your corrections are returned to us in one all-inclusive e-mail. Subsequent additional corrections will not be possible, so please ensure that your first communication is complete. Should it be necessary to mail or fax your corrections, please return them to: Log-in Department, Elsevier, Stover Court, Bampfylde Street, Exeter, Devon EX1 2AH, UK. Fax No. +44 1392 426864(Please note that this is not the preferred way of returning the proof as it could cause a considerable delay in publication of the article.)
VI. COPYRIGHT
Upon acceptance of an article, Authors will be asked to transfer copyright (for more information on copyright see http://authors.elsevier.com). This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information. A letter will be sent to the corresponding Author confirming receipt of the manuscript. A form facilitating transfer of copyright will be provided.
If excerpts from other copyrighted works are included, the Author(s) must obtain written permission from the copyright owners and credit the source(s) in the article. Elsevier has preprinted forms for use by Authors in these cases: contact Elsevier's Rights Department, Oxford, UK: phone (+44) 1865 843830, fax (+44) 1865 853333, e-mail permissions@elsevier.com. Requests may also be completed online via the Elsevier homepage ( http://www.elsevier.com/locate/permissions).
VII. OFFPRINTS
Twenty-five offprints will be supplied free of charge. When colour is paid for within an article a further 100 offprints will be provided at no further cost. Additional offprints and copies of the issue can be ordered at a specially reduced rate using the order form sent to the corresponding author after the manuscript has been accepted. Orders for reprints (produced after publication of an article) will incur a 50% surcharge.
VIII. AUTHOR ENQUIRIES
For enquiries relating to the submission of articles (including electronic submission where available) please visit Elsevier's Author Gateway at http://authors.elsevier.com. The Author Gateway also provides the facility to track accepted articles and set up e-mail alerts to inform you of when an article's status has changed, as well as detailed artwork guidelines, copyright information, frequently asked questions and more.
