WASTE MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH

Routine human activities impact the environment and the consumption of natural materials and energy resources. The challenge to society is to minimize these impacts, maintain an acceptable quality of the environment, and sustain the quality of life and resource supplies for future generations. The generation of solid wastes is inevitable because all products have an end of life and humans and animals create wastes that have to be managed to maintain hygienic, healthy and tidy urban and open country environments. A key objective of the Waste Management and Research (WM&R) journal is to address these challenges through dissemination of scientifically based reliable information, e.g. in terms of waste prevention, waste recycling, recovery of energy from material residuals not suited for recycling or reuse, waste treatment, and waste disposal.WM&R is a peer-reviewed journal that satisfies the growing demand for new and scientific information that can be referenced by waste management professionals in academia, government, industry, planning, engineering, management and operation. WM&R presents original work in the form of review articles, original articles, short articles, and letters to the editor.WM&R encourages the submission of well organized manuscripts relating to sustainable waste management designs, operations, policies or practices and those addressing issues facing both developing and developed countries. Mass flow analyses, life cycle assessments, policy planning and system administration, innovative processes and technologies and their engineering features and cost effectiveness are among the key issues that WM&R seeks to cover through well documented reports on new concepts, systems, practical experience (including case studies), and theoretical and experimental research work. Manuscripts with limited scope or specialised application are normally not accepted. Studies on testing and characterisation of special waste streams or products with only a peripheral pertinence to solid waste management are normally referred to journals that focus on such topics. Manuscripts about modelling and software development are acceptable, when model and software applications remain accessible in the public domain. It is imperative that manuscripts are well founded in terms of existing literature and knowledge, including both recent and older publications.Peer reviewers and editors evaluating manuscripts for publication consider as key criteria; originality, novelty and applicability of results in theory and/or in practice. Articles must be clearly written in UK English and authors must avoid duplication of information already published and avoid citing opinions without referenced foundations. Strict compliance with these and other WM&R manuscript submission guidelines is necessary to trigger the peer review process that could lead to subsequent acceptance for publication.

WASTE MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH期刊中文简介

日常的人类活动影响环境和自然材料和能源的消耗。社会面临的挑战是尽量减少这些影响，维持可接受的环境质量，并为后代维持生活质量和资源供应。固体废物的产生是不可避免的，因为所有产品都有生命的尽头，人类和动物产生的废物必须加以管理，以维持卫生、健康和整洁的城市和开放的农村环境。《废物管理与研究》(WM&R)杂志的一个主要目标是通过传播基于科学的可靠信息来应对这些挑战，例如在废物预防、废物回收、从不适合回收或再利用的材料残渣中回收能源、废物处理和废物处理方面。WM&R是一份经过同行评审的期刊，它满足了学术界、政府、工业、规划、工程、管理和运营等领域的废物管理专业人士对新和科学信息日益增长的需求。WM&R以评论文章、原创文章、短文和给编辑写信的形式呈现原创作品。环境监测和评价鼓励提交关于可持续废物管理设计、作业、政策或做法以及处理发展中国家和发达国家所面临问题的有组织的手稿。质量流量分析、生命周期评估、政策规划和系统管理,创新过程和技术及其工程特性和成本效率的关键问题之一WM&R试图覆盖通过良好的文档记录报告新概念,系统,实践经验(包括案例研究),理论和实验研究工作。一般不接受范围有限或有专门用途的稿件。对特殊废物流或只与固体废物管理有关的产品进行测试和表征的研究，通常是针对这类主题的期刊。当模型和软件应用程序在公共领域仍然可访问时，关于建模和软件开发的手稿是可以接受的。手稿必须根据现有的文献和知识，包括最近和较老的出版物，建立良好的基础。同行审稿员和编辑将审稿作为出版的关键标准;理论和/或实践中结果的原创性、新颖性和适用性。文章必须用英国英语写清楚，作者必须避免重复已经发表的信息，避免引用没有参考依据的观点。严格遵守这些和其他WM&R手稿提交指南是必要的，以触发同行审查过程，可能导致随后接受出版。
