About the journal
Carbon Management
Aims & Scope
The significance of carbon management in today's world cannot be overestimated; carbon is ubiquitous and its presence affects every aspect of life and all lifestyles. Recognition of the problems caused by rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide has led to international demand for strategies to manage and reduce emissions and their associated climatic effects.
Carbon Management provides an international peer-reviewed forum for current insights from the diverse array of disciplines working to enhance our understanding of carbon interactions - from biology, ecology, chemistry and engineering to law, policy, economics and sociology.
Carbon Management examines the mechanisms by which we can both manage current GHG levels and reduce future emissions effectively, to mitigate climate change. The journal covers opportunities for carbon management throughout the whole carbon cycle, including technological and engineering innovations for carbon sequestration, as well as the role of natural processes. Plans aimed at managing and reducing emitted carbon, such as carbon accounting initiatives, also feature.
The core scientific research and review content of each issue is augmented by news, editorials, interviews and policy updates presenting enlightened opinion and commentary on pressing and topical issues. The journal's diverse content reflects the range of expertise and innovative enquiry essential to remain at the forefront of this rapidly emerging field.
Decisions made in the near future will have profound consequences on the impact of carbon management for decades to come. Carbon Management delivers a synthesis of the latest findings relevant to those working in the fields of research, education, management and environmental policy. It provides detailed information in an accessible format, serving as an essential reference to inform future decisions.
Key themes include:
- Carbon accounting initiatives, including carbon footprinting and emissions trading
- Validation of emissions data and measurement techniques
- Modeling of carbon emission and management scenarios for multiple climate stabilization targets.
- Policy developments to regulate and Incentivize reductions in carbon emissions
- Market-based mechanisms of emission reductions
- Management processes at local, regional and national levels
- The impacts of anthropogenic activities on carbon emissions, including energy and waste management; transport and trade; business, industry and domestic; buildings, construction methods and urbanisation; farming, agriculture and food production; deforestation and forestry practices

Editorial policy
Future Science titles endorse the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals, issued by the International Committee for Medical Journal Editors, and Code of Conduct for Editors of Biomedical Journals, produced by the Committee on Publication Ethics. Our full Editorial Policy can be found in the Author Guidelines.
Manuscript submission & processing
Future Science titles publish solicited and unsolicited articles. Receipt of all manuscripts will be acknowledged within 1 week and authors will be notified as to whether the article is to progress to external review. Initial screening of articles by internal editorial staff will assess the topicality and importance of the subject, the clarity of presentation, and relevance to the audience of the journal in question.
If you are interested in submitting an article, or have any queries regarding article submission, please contact the Managing Commissioning Editor for the journal (see Contact Us). For new article proposals, the Managing Commissioning Editor will require a brief article outline and working title in the first instance. We also have an active commissioning program whereby the Commissioning Editor, under guidance from the Editorial Advisory Panel, solicits articles directly for publication.
External peer review
Through a rigorous peer review process, our titles aim to ensure that articles are unbiased, scientifically accurate and clinically relevant. Future Medicine titles endorse the Ethical Guidelines for Peer Reviewers, produced by the Committee on Publication Ethics, available at http://publicationethics.org/resources/guidelines. All articles are peer reviewed by three or more members of the International Advisory Board or other specialists selected on the basis of experience and expertise. Review is performed on a double-blind basis - the identities of peer reviewers and authors are kept confidential. Peer reviewers must disclose potential conflicts of interests that may affect their ability to provide an unbiased appraisal (see Conflict of Interest Policy below). Peer reviewers complete a referee report form, to provide general comments to the editor and both general and specific comments to the author(s).
Where an author believes that an editor has made an error in declining a paper, they may submit an appeal. The appeal letter should clearly state the reasons why the author(s) considers the decision to be incorrect and provide detailed, specific responses to any comments relating to the rejection of the article. Further advice from members of the journal’s Editorial Advisory Panel external experts will be sought regarding eligibility for re-review.
Revision
Most manuscripts require some degree of revision prior to acceptance. Authors should provide two copies of the revised manuscript – one of which should be highlighted to show where changes have been made. Detailed responses to reviewers’ comments, in a covering letter/email, are also required. Manuscripts may be accepted at this point or may be subject to further peer review. The final decision on acceptability for publication lies with the journal editor.
Post-acceptance
Accepted manuscripts are edited by the in-house editorial team. Authors will receive proofs of their article for approval and sign-off and will be asked to sign a transfer of copyright agreement, except in circumstances where the author is ineligible to do so (e.g. government employees in certain countries).

Author disclosure & conflict of interest policy
Authors must state explicitly whether potential conflicts do or do not exist (e.g. personal or financial relationships that could influence their actions) and any such potential conflict of interest (including sources of funding) should be summarized in a separate section of the published article. Authors must disclose whether they have received writing assistance and identify the sources of funding for such assistance. Authors declaring no conflict of interest are required to publish a statement to that effect within the article.
Authors must certify that all affiliations with or financial involvement with any organization or entity with a financial interest in or financial conflict with the subject matter or materials discussed in their manuscript have been disclosed. Please note that examples of financial involvement include: employment, consultancies, honoraria, stock ownership or options, expert testimony, grants or patents received or pending and royalties. This is list is not exclusive of other forms of financial involvement. Details of relevant conflicts of interests (or the lack of) must be declared in the ‘Disclosure’ section of the manuscript for all listed authors.
External peer reviewers must disclose any conflicts of interest that could bias their opinions of the manuscript, and they should disqualify themselves from reviewing specific manuscripts if they believe it appropriate. Should any such conflict of interest be declared, the journal editor will judge whether the reviewer’s comments should be recognized or will interpret the reviewer’s comments in the context of any such declaration.

Ethical conduct of research
Where articles include publication of original data relating to human or animal experimental investigations, appropriate institutional review board approval is required and should be described within the article. For those investigators who do not have formal ethics review committees, the principles outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki should be followed. For investigations involving human subjects, authors should explain how informed consent was obtained from the participants involved.
Patients’ rights to privacy
Patients have a right to privacy that should not be infringed without informed consent. Identifying information should not be included unless the information is essential for scientific purposes and the patient (or parent or legal guardian) gives written informed consent for publication. Informed consent for this purpose requires that the patient be shown the manuscript to be published. When informed consent has been obtained it should be indicated in the manuscript.
In attempting to maintain patient anonymity, identifying details should be omitted where they are not essential. However, patient data should never be amended or falsified. Informed consent should be obtained whenever there is any doubt that anonymity can be assured.

Access Tokens
What is an access token?
An access token allows a single user to access a certain amount of content an indefinite number of times.
Most commonly, this is a single article - but can be any set of content, up to and including access to all of our content.
Please note that access tokens are only available to authors for noncommercial purposes.
For authors or third parties wishing to host an article on a company website, please contact reprints@future-science.com
Why use an access token?
An access token offers a cost-effective and time-efficient way of offering access to a targeted group of people.
It allows an author to share their work with their colleagues, peers and friends effortlessly by providing them a link to directly access the article, increasing the visibility of the article and its readership.
Costs
Access tokens can be purchased in bundles of 50 at a time at a cost of £100 per 50 tokens. By comparison, a single pay-per-view article for a single user would cost US$60 for 24 hours of access. Therefore, an author can share his work at a cost of only £2 per person - with no expiry date!
How does it work?
An author should request access tokens directly through a staff member of Future Science Ltd, stating the article which they wish to purchase the tokens for.
Once payment has been processed, the access tokens are immediately available for activation. The author will receive an automated e-mail that contains the details of how to share the access tokens with their colleagues, peers and friends - including an example 'blurb' which they can use as the base for any e-mail they might send.
Each user who wishes to access the content must be provided with the activation link (contained in the e-mail the author receives) - in order to access the content, they must simply click on the link, then register (or login, if already a registered user) and the content will be available to them.
There is no time limit within which the tokens must be activated, so there is no pressure on the author to ensure the content is accessed immediately.
Once all the access tokens have been used, additional bundles of 50 can be purchased and the author can continue to distribute his content in the same way as described above.

Open Access Option
Authors can opt for our Open Access Option, allowing unrestricted access to the online version of their article. The Open Access Option is not, however, available for articles appearing in Pharmaceutical Patent Analyst. For all other titles, the Open Access Option is available for all article types except Drug Evaluations.
Authors of accepted peer-reviewed articles may choose to pay a fee in order for their published article to be made accessible on an open access basis at www.future-science.com and flagged as such on the website. The Open Access Option policy means that users have unrestricted rights to reuse open access content for educational and research purposes but not for commercial use.
The Open Access Option fee is £1,700 (plus VAT, where applicable)
Authors are required to complete a license form and payment form. The publication fee is charged on acceptance of the article and payment in full should be paid within 30 days (preferably by credit card) by the author or other funding body. Authors not paying by credit card may request to be invoiced in US Dollars or Euros at the prevailing equivalent rate (using www.xe.com).
All articles are subject to our standard peer-review process and will be accepted or rejected based on their own merit.
Wellcome Trust-funded authors can opt for our Open Access Option in order to comply with the Trust's policy for open access (see below).
Use by commercial 'for-profit' organizations
Use of Open Access Option articles for commercial purposes is not permitted. However, support for free access is available to third parties subject to the appropriate permission fees (contact reprints@future-science.com).
