Environmental Impact Assessment Review is a refereed, interdisciplinary journal serving a global audience of practitioners, policy-makers
and academics. This audience assesses the environmental impact of policy, projects, processes and products and makes decisions based
upon these assessments.
Innovative EIA theory and practice - that is the focus of this journal. Papers should present innovation,
they should be topical and of course coherent. A focus on theory and practice means we are focused on concepts, methods, techniques,
approaches and systems.
We are not a journal for case studies as such. Case studies are welcome if they explicitly demonstrate
innovative theory or practice, but only in that context. You may have done the world's most thorough impact assessment of a power plant,
dam, refinery, whatever, but if there was no innovation in the theory or practice of EIA involved, please submit your paper somewhere
else.
The topical focus of EIA Review is meant to mirror the interests of its audience. As currently defined, this is:
• EIA Procedure: theory, methods, legislation and practice
• Quantitative Methods: forecasting, risk/health assessments
and eco-indicators, among others
• Carbon footprinting
• Health Impact Assessment
• Social Impact Assessment
• LCA and Product Policy
Each issue of the journal may contain up to three sections:
Viewpoint —
an opinion on a relevant issue
Articles — on the topics listed above
Reviews of Current Literature
EIA Review aims to publish only pieces that are innovative, topical and coherent. Submissions to the journal are judged
on these criteria by the editor, in consultation with a policy committee, an advisory board and other independent experts. All articles
go through a blind peer-review prior to acceptance. For the 12 months ending in April 2008, the average time between submission of a
paper and an initial decision was 25-30 days.
The journal is indexed in the Social Sciences Citation Index, and its latest impact
