  • COVID 19 and impact on peer review

    As a result of the significant disruption that is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic we are very aware that many researchers will have difficulty in meeting the timelines associated with our peer review process during normal times.  Please do let us know if you need additional time. Our systems will continue to remind you of the original timelines but we intend to be highly flexible at this time.

  • News

    Professor Virender K. Sharma – one of the Associate Editors of Environmental Chemistry Letters – will receive the 2020 Steven K. Dentel AEESP Award for Global Outreach.
