Journal Guide

Resource Geology is an international journal focusing on economic geology, geochemistry and environmental geology. Its purpose is to contribute to the promotion of earth sciences related to metallic and non-metallic mineral deposits mainly in Asia, Oceania and the Circum-Pacific region, although other parts of the world are also considered. Launched in 1998 by the Society for Resource Geology, the journal is published quarterly in English, making it more accessible to the international geological community. The journal publishes high quality papers of interest to those engaged in research and exploration of mineral deposits.

Resource and Energy Economics publishes papers that advance economic theory and empirical methods to gain novel insights into environmental problems. We welcome innovative and high-quality papers that enhance our understanding of the economic causes and consequences of environmental and natural resource problems, and that contribute to discussions on improving environmental policy and resource management. Contributions may address any problem involving economic and environmental linkages, including utilization and development of the Earth’s natural resources; international trade and global environmental problems; valuation and management of ecosystem services; innovation and growth as this pertains to sustainability; and experimental environmental economics. The ideal REE article starts from a well-defined economic problem, develops a transparent analytical model, and uses the appropriate theory, econometrics, or numerical techniques to give a novel perspective on the problem. Papers without strong links to environmental and resource theory are beyond the scope of Resource and Energy Economics and will be returned to authors without review.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Resources (ISSN 2079-9276) is an international, scholarly open access journal on the topic of natural resources. It publishes reviews, regular research papers, communications and short notes, and there is no restriction on the length of the papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research in as much detail as possible. Full experimental and methodical details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. There are, in addition, unique features of this journal: manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas will be particularly welcomed electronic files or software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material

Resources Policy is an international journal devoted to minerals policy and economics, aimed at individuals in academia, government, and industry. Submissions are invited that analyze issues of public policy, economics, and business in the areas of mining, minerals, metals, and materials.Topics covered in the broad discipline of mineral economics include mineral market and price analysis, project evaluation and real options valuation, mining and sustainable development, mineral resource rents and the resource curse, mineral wealth and corruption, mineral taxation and regulation, the rise of China and India as major mineral consumers, and the impact of mineral development on local communities and indigenous populations.Submissions also are invited on related natural resource topics of interest and importance to the minerals community, such as sustainability, natural resources in national-income accounting, and topics from environmental economics related to mineral production and use.

The Editors welcome contributions from research, which consider sustainable management and conservation of resources. The journal emphasizes the transformation processes involved in a transition toward more sustainable production and consumption systems. Emphasis is upon technological, economic, institutional and policy aspects of specific resource management practices, such as conservation, recycling and resource substitution, and of "systems-wide" strategies, such as resource productivity improvement, the restructuring of production and consumption profiles and the transformation of industry.Contributions may have relevance at regional, national or international scales and may focus at any level of research from individual resources or technologies to whole sectors or systems of interest. Contributors may emphasise any of the aforementioned aspects as well as scientific and methodological issues. However, manuscripts that consider only laboratory experiments, without a discussion of the practical, environmental and economic implications of the presented research, are excluded from publication in the journal.The journal publishes papers, reviews, analyses and case studies on topics, which include:• Transformation of the industrial and societal system towards more sustainable production and consumption patterns, including management, instruments, methods and processes of change.• Information and management systems involving resource status, use and material flows in society.• Innovation processes, tools and methods relating to resource productivity improvement.• Technical, societal, economic, business and policy aspects of strategies to improve the sustainability and productivity of resource use, including strategies for managing resource supply and demand, valorizing waste, lowering energy and material intensities and increasing the serviceability of products.• Substitution of primary resources by renewable or regenerative alternatives, including agricultural and forest resources and wastes.• Material flow analysis and the understanding of resource use and flows in society and the impact on the environment, including resource extraction and waste generation.• Life cycle assessment and management of resources, materials and products to improve resource efficiency and productivity, conserve resources and reduce pollution.• Societal, economic and technological change for improved recovery and reuse of materials and energy from domestic, commercial or industrial waste streams.• Efficient management and use of all resources, including air and water, with regard to the qualitative as well as quantitative aspects of resource use.

Respiration brings together the results of both clinical and experimental investigations on all aspects of the respiratory system in health and disease. Clinical improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of chest and lung diseases are covered, as are the latest findings in physiology, biochemistry, pathology, immunology, and pharmacology. The journal includes classic features such as editorials that accompany original articles in clinical and basic science research, reviews, and letters to the editor. Further sections are: “The Eye Catcher”, “What’s Your Diagnosis?”, “New Insights from Clinical Practice”, and “Guidelines”.

Aims & ScopeRespiratory Investigation formerly known as Nihon Kokyuki Gakkaizasshi (The Journal of the Japanese Respiratory Society) is the official journal in English of the Japanese Respiratory Society It reports significant original manuscripts on clinical investigations of respiratory diseases and medicines, along with articles concerning basic lung cellular and molecular biology and respiratory mechanics. In particular, to better understand the regional characteristics of respiratory disorders, investigations based on current knowledge of genomic specificity of the East Asian ethnics are welcome. The journal presents current accomplishments in this field as Original Articles, Case Reports, Reviews and Guidelines, Editorials, and Letters to the Editor. The journal accepts contributions from nonmembers of the Society. Please prepare manuscripts in conformance with the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals (http://www.icmje.org/urm_main.html).
