Environmental Geochemistry and Health

Environmental Geochemistry and Health publishes original research papers, short communications, review papers, topical collections of papers and special issues across the broad field of environmental geochemistry. Papers may be theoretical, interpretative or experimental. The journal has a special interest in seeking innovative research articles, reviews or communications with coverage directly linking health and the environment. Cross-disciplinary research incorporating environmental geochemistry is particularly welcome.

Articles that simply replicate known knowledge or techniques while researching a local geochemical problem will normally be rejected without review. Papers should not focus on local interest only and fail to advance international knowledge on addressing environmental geochemistry and health issues. Surveys of soil, water or plants to show how major and trace elements are distributed geographically should consider their representativity and novel contribution to the literature. For example, sufficient numbers of samples to provide robust interpretation.

Upon submission, authors are invited to provide a novelty statement in the cover letter. Please also provide a novelty statement to justify a clear Aim and objectives for the manuscript.  Submitted manuscripts will be scrutinised by the Executive Editors-in-Chief who will then assign them to the Associate Editors to start a double-blind peer-review process if they pass the initial appraisal for novelty, scientific rigour as described above.
