About the journal
The Journal of Polymers and the Environment fills the need for an international forum in this diverse and rapidly expanding field. The journal serves a crucial role for the publication of information from a wide range of disciplines and is a central outlet for the publication of high-quality peer-reviewed original papers, review articles and short communications. The journal is intentionally interdisciplinary in regard to contributions and covers the following subjects - polymers, environmentally degradable polymers, and degradation pathways: biological, photochemical, oxidative and hydrolytic; new environmental materials: derived by chemical and biosynthetic routes; environmental blends and composites; developments in processing and reactive processing of environmental polymers; characterization of environmental materials: mechanical, physical, thermal, rheological, morphological, and others; recyclable polymers and plastics recycling environmental testing: in-laboratory simulations, outdoor exposures, and standardization of methodologies; environmental fate: end products and intermediates of biodegradation; microbiology and enzymology of polymer biodegradation; solid-waste management and public legislation specific to environmental polymers; and other related topics.
Instructions to Authors
1. Submission is a representation that the manuscript has not been published previously and is not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. A statement transferring copyright from the authors (or their employers, if they hold the copyright) to Plenum Publishing Corporation will be required before the manuscript can be accepted for publication. The Co-Editors will supply the necessary forms for this transfer. Such a written transfer of copyright, which previously was assumed to be implicit in the act of submitting a manuscript, is necessary under the U.S. Copyright Law in order for the publisher to carry through the dissemination of research results and reviews as widely and effectively as possible.
2. Type double-spaced, and submit the original and two copies (including, where possible, copies of all illustrations and tables). All copies must be dark, sharp, and clear. Computer-generated manuscripts must be of letter quality (not dot-matrix).
3. A title page is to be provided and should include the title of the article, author?/SPAN>s name (no degrees), author?/SPAN>s affiliation, and suggested running head. The affiliation should comprise the department, institution (usually university or company), city, and state (or nation) and should be typed as a footnote to the author?/SPAN>s name. The suggested running head should be less than 80 characters (including spaces) and should comprise the article title or an abbreviated version thereof. For office purposes, the title page should include the complete mailing address and telephone number of the one author designated to review proofs.
4. An abstract is to be provided, preferably no longer than 200 words.
5. A list of 4--5 key words is to be provided directly below the abstract. Key words should express the precise content of the manuscript, as they are used for indexing purposes.
6. All sections should carry headings (such as INTRODUCTION, EXPERIMENTAL, etc.), typed flush left.
7. Mathematical notation and equations should be typewritten wherever possible. If handwritten notation must be used, it should be clear and legible, with any necessary explanatory notes located in the margin. Equations should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals in parentheses placed flush right, and should be thusly referred to in the text [such as Eqs. (2) and (6)].
8. Illustrations (photographs, drawings, diagrams, and charts) are to be numbered in one consecutive series of Arabic numerals. The captions for illustrations should be typed on a separate sheet of paper. All illustrations must be complete and final, i.e., camera-ready. Photographs should be large, glossy prints, showing high contrast. Drawings should be prepared with india ink. Either original drawings or good-quality photographic prints are acceptable. Identify figures on the back with author?/SPAN>s name and number of the illustration. Reproduction of illustrations in color is possible by special arrangement, with the total cost, which is significant, borne by the author.
9. Tables should be numbered (with Roman numerals) and referred to by number in the text. Each table should be typed on a separate sheet of paper.
10. List references numerically at the end of the paper. Use the appropriate Arabic numeral in square brackets on the baseline for citation in the text. Where there are three or more authors, only the first author?/SPAN>s name is given in the text, followed by et al. References should include (in this order): initials and last names of all authors, year published, name of publication, volume number, and inclusive pages. The style and punctuation of the references should conform to that used in the journal -- illustrated by the following examples:
Journal Article
1. J. Chojnowski and K. R髗ga (1992) J. Inorg. Organomet. Polym. 2, 297--317.
Book
2. R. B. Seymour and C. E. Carraher, Jr. (1984) Structure--Property Relationships in Polymers, Plenum Press, New York.
Contribution to a Book
3. P. Dave, R. A. Gross, C. Brucato, S. Wong, and S. P. McCarthy (1991) in C. G. Gebelein (Ed.), Biotechnology and Polymers, Plenum Press, New York, pp. 53--61.
11. Footnotes should be avoided. When their use is absolutely necessary, footnotes should be numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals and should be typed at the bottom of the page to which they refer. Place a line above the footnote, so that it is set off from the text. Use the appropriate superscript numeral for citation in the text.
12. After a manuscript has been accepted for publication and after all revisions have been incorporated, manuscripts should be submitted to the Editor?/SPAN>s Office as hard copy accompanied by electronic files on disk. Label the disk with identifying information -- software, journal name, and first author?/SPAN>s last name. The disk must be the one from which the accompanying manuscript (finalized version) was printed out. The Editor?/SPAN>s Office cannot accept a disk without its accompanying, matching hard-copy manuscript.
13. The journal makes no page charges. Reprints are available to authors, and order forms with the current price schedule are sent with proofs.
