What to Look for When Choosing a Journal
Before submitting your research, evaluate journals on these key criteria:
- Environmental engineering scope — water, air, waste, soil, climate, sustainability
- Policy-relevant indexing — Google Scholar and CrossRef DOI for academic and regulatory reach
- Expert peer review by environmental engineers and applied scientists
- Open access to ensure research is accessible to policymakers and practitioners
- Fast review turnaround — 2–4 weeks for time-sensitive environmental research
- Affordable, transparent APC with no hidden publication fees

Environmental Engineering Research Scope
Keith Publications accepts environmental engineering research covering water treatment and distribution systems, wastewater management, air quality monitoring and control, solid and hazardous waste management, contaminated land remediation, environmental impact assessment, green infrastructure, sustainable urban drainage, carbon capture and storage, lifecycle assessment, renewable energy integration with environmental systems, and climate change adaptation engineering. Both applied and methodological environmental engineering research is welcomed.
Environmental Engineering and the Net Zero Transition
Environmental engineering research is central to the global net zero transition. Research on carbon footprint reduction in construction and manufacturing, green hydrogen production, sustainable materials, low-carbon energy systems, and climate-resilient infrastructure design is of growing significance and policy relevance. Keith Publications strongly encourages environmental engineering research that contributes to net zero goals, circular economy principles, and SDG 13 (Climate Action).
Tips to Maximise Your Acceptance Chances
- Align your topic with the journal's scope — read the aims and scope carefully before submitting.
- Write a compelling abstract — it's the first thing editors and reviewers read. Make it clear, concise, and keyword-rich.
- Ensure strong methodology — clearly describe your research design, experimental setup, or computational approach.
- Use current and relevant citations — include recent publications (within the last 5 years) alongside seminal engineering works.
- Follow formatting guidelines exactly — non-compliant manuscripts are often desk-rejected without review.
- Present results clearly — use tables, figures, and graphs to communicate quantitative findings effectively.
- State practical implications — explain how your engineering or technology findings can be applied in practice.
