About the journal
The CIWEM journal is the leading publication in its field, dealing with worldwide aspects of the water cycle and environmental matters including the management of solid and hazardous wastes, control of air pollution, and environmental conservation. Potential papers are peer reviewed and discussed by the Institution’s editorial panel.
Instructions to Authors
General
The Journal of the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management is the leading Institution Journal published in the UK which deals with all aspects of the water cycle and a broad range of environmental matters.
The Institution publishes papers presented by members and non-members at meetings of its local branches, together with papers from conferences and symposia. It also publishes papers which are submitted for Journal publication alone.
Papers to be published in the Journal must be original, and are expected to be of a high standard – not only in respect of their subject matter and its treatment, but also in the quality of the writing. Particular attention should be paid to clarity and conciseness of expression.
These notes are intended to guide authors in some details of presentation so that papers may conform to the consistent style which has been established by the Journal.
Sustainability
Papers submitted to the Journal should encompass the principle of sustainable development. Papers which promote clearly unsustainable practices will not be accepted for publication.
Refereeing
Three expert referees will assess each paper. A decision as to publication will be made by the Institution's Editorial Panel, on the basis of the referees’ reports.
Length
Papers, including illustrations and tables, should not exceed (the equivalent of) approximately 5000 words in length. Only in exceptional circumstances will longer papers be published.
Title
The title of the paper should be as short as possible, consistent with a clear indication of the subject matter. The name(s), qualifications and appointment(s) of the author(s) should be given, with the date and venue of the presentation, where applicable.
Abstract
An abstract of not more than 150 words should be included at the beginning of the paper. It should briefly indicate the subject and scope of the paper, calling attention to points of special interest, e.g. method of investigation and important results.
Key Words
Up to 8 key words should be listed in alphabetical order for use in retrieval systems.
Layout
The layout of the main body of the paper will depend upon the subject but, in general, a paper should be in the following format:
Abstract; Key words; Introduction (this should not repeat what has been said in the abstract); Main exposition, subdivided as appropriate for the subject; Discussion, if required, e.g. of experimental results; Conclusions, which should be numbered (they should not include tables, figures, or references); Acknowledgements; References; Appendices, if necessary.
Headings
Not more than three levels of headings should be used. Main headings should be typed (in bold letters) centrally on the page, and secondary headings (in bold letters) at the left of the page. Third level headings should be typed in italics at the left of the page. Numbering of paragraphs and section of a paper should be avoided.
Units
The Système International (SI) should be used for all units of measurement as far as possible. The oblique stroke should be used (e.g. m3/d), not the negative index (m3d-1). Temperature should be expressed in oC.
Illustrations
Diagrams should be drawn without boundary boxes and should be as simple as possible, but should contain enough information to be understood without reference to the text. Any map should include a compass point. Captions (in italics) should be concise and appear below illustrations. Photographs can help to enhance the overall appearance of a paper.
Tables
Tables should be as few and as simple as possible. Graphs are often preferable to tables, and the same data should not be presented in both forms. Captions (in italics) should appear above tables.
Acknowledgments
These should be to the authority by whose permission the paper is published, any sources of grants or funds to support the work, colleagues or others who have made significant contributions to the work, and any copyright holders who have given permission for their work to be quoted.
References
References to literature should be numbered consecutively in the text with superscript numbers in brackets, thus, (3). They should be listed in the same order at the end of the paper, giving the following details:
Number of reference (in brackets); name(s), followed by initial(s) of author(s); title of paper or book; year of publication; volume number (in bold type); part number (in brackets); and first page of paper.
References for Website addresses should only be used where the hardcopy reference is unavailable. Authors should ensure that Website references are in full, sustainable, refer directly to the reference and are live.
