described has not been published before (except in the
form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture, or
thesis); that it is not under consideration for publication
elsewhere; that its publication has been approved by all
coauthors, if any, as well.
Papers, books for review, offers to review, suggestions
and commercials (advertising) should be submitted to the
Editor-in-Chief All papers will be published in English.
Non-English speaking authors should seek the advice of
a professional language expert or an English speaker to
help translate the paper.
2. Legal requirements
The author(s) guarantee(s) that the manuscript is/will not
be published elsewhere in any language without the
consent of the copyright holders, that the rights of third
parties will not be violated, and that the publisher will not
be held legally responsible should there be any claims for
compensation.
Authors wishing to include figures or text passages that
have already been published elsewhere are required to
obtain permission from the copyright holder(s) and to
include evidence that such permission has been granted
when submitting their papers. Any material received
without such evidence will be assumed to originate from
the authors.
The author(s) are encouraged to transfer the copyright of
the article to the publisher upon acceptance of an article
by the journal, using the Authors’ Warranty and
Assignment of Copyright agreement. This transfer
enables the Editor to protect the copyrighted material for
the authors, but does not relinquish the author’s
proprietary rights. The publication of an article is
conditioned by the signature of the author to whom
correspondence should be addressed on this Authors’
Warranty and Assignment of Copyright that is provided
by the Editor.

http://omicron.ch.tuiasi.ro/EEMJ/plagiarism.htm
Conflict of interest
All authors are requested to disclose any actual or
potential conflict of interest such as any financial,
personal or other relationships with other people or
organizations concerning the submitted work that could
inappropriately influence, or be perceived to influence,
their work.
3. Editorial procedure
For original papers, an upper limit of 7000 words is
recommended (including Abstract, Keywords,
References, Figures and Tables), processed with MS
editing facilities.
For review papers (critical evaluation of existing data,
defined topics or emerging fields of investigation, critical
issues of public concern), an upper limit of 15000 words
is recommended (including Abstract, Keywords,
References, Figures and Tables).
Manuscripts should be written in English (American or
British usage is accepted, but not a mixture of these) and
submitted electronically, in .doc format (please do not
use .docx) to the Editor-in-Chief, at one (and only one) of
the following e-mail addresses: eemjournal at yahoo
dot com; eem_journal at yahoo dot com; eemjeditor
at yahoo dot com; eemj_editor at yahoo dot com;
eemjournal at gmail dot com; eemjeditor at gmail dot
com; eemjoffice at gmail dot com.
Please be sure to include your full affiliation and e-mail
address (see Sample manuscript).
When submitting the manuscript, it is mandatory to
include a cover letter to the editor. The cover letter must
state:
- that all authors mutually agree that the manuscript
can be submitted to EEMJ;
- that the manuscript contains the original work of
the authors;
 - the novelty in results/findings, or significance of
results;
- that the manuscript has not already been
published, or is not under consideration for
publication elsewhere.
Manuscripts are evaluated first in the Editorial Office (as
a preliminary condition for acceptance) in terms of
meeting the requirements of the journal, including
attempts of plagiarism. The authors are responsible for
the accuracy of the whole paper and references. Authors
will be notified about the registration of their contribution.
Only those contributions, which conform to the following
instructions, can be considered for the peer-review
process. Otherwise, the manuscripts are returned to the
authors, with observations, comments and annotations.
The peer review process is decisive for paper
acceptance. It could be done in several stages,
depending on the revision quality of the manuscript in
accordance with the requirements of paper evaluators.
Please do not transmit electronic data or requirements to
the publisher until your manuscript has been reviewed
and accepted for publication. Please follow the
instructions below.
A minimum of four suitable potential reviewers should be
provided by the authors. Please provide their name,
email addresses, and institutional affiliation. When
compiling this list of potential reviewers please consider
the following important criteria: they must be
knowledgeable about the manuscript subject area of the
manuscript; they must not be from the authors’ own
institution or country; they should not have recent (less
than five years) joint publications with any of the authors.
However, the final choice of reviewers is at the editors'
discretion.
4. Manuscript preparation
General:
Authors must follow the Instructions for authors strictly,
failing which the manuscripts would be rejected without
review. Editors reserve the right to adjust the formatting
style to conform to the standards of the journal.
Manuscripts should be concise, in 1.5 line spacing, and
should have 2 cm all over margins. The font should be
Times New Roman of size 12 points. The numbering of
chapters should be in decimal form. Ensure that each
new paragraph is clearly indicated, using TAB at 1.25 pts.
The text layout should be in single-column format.
Keep the layout of the text as simple as possible. Most
formatting codes will be removed and replaced on
processing the manuscript. However, do use bold face,
italics, subscripts, superscripts etc. Add line numbering
and page numbers. To avoid unnecessary errors it is
strongly advised to use the 'spell-check' and 'grammar-
check' functions of your word processor.
Title page will contain:
x A concise and informative title (Times New Roman
bold, all caps of size 14 points); the maximum length of
the title should be maximum 100 letters and spaces;
The full name(s) of the author(s) (first name, then last
name, with Times New Roman bold 12 points) should
be written below the title. The affiliation(s) and complete
postal address(es) of the author(s) will be provided
immediately after the full name of the authors and will
be written with Times New Roman 12 points. When the
paper has more than one author, their name will be
followed by a mark (Arabic numeral) as superscript; for
the corresponding author, an asterix will be added using
Word_Insert_Reference_Footnote_Symbol sequence.
Also, the full and e-mail addresses, telephone and fax
numbers of the corresponding author will be provided in
the footer of the first page, as: Author to whom all
correspondence should be addressed: email…..,
Phone…….., Fax…………
x Abstract: each paper must be preceded by an abstract
presenting the most important results and conclusions
in no more than 250 words. Do not include citations in
the Abstract.
x Keywords: three to five keywords should be supplied
after the Abstract for indexing purposes, separated by
comma, ordered alphabetically, using American
spelling and avoiding general and plural terms and
multiple concepts (avoid, for example, "and", "of"). Be
sparing with abbreviations: only abbreviations firmly
established in the field may be eligible.
x The text of the paper should be divided into
Introduction, Materials and methods (or
Experimental), Results and discussion,
Conclusions, References (for papers dealing with
environmental management, policy, education etc., the
Experimental part can be replaced by case-studies
presentation).
1. Introduction
State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate
background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a
summary of the results.
2. Material and methods (or 2. Experimental)
Provide sufficient detail to allow the work to be
reproduced. Methods already published should be
indicated by a reference: only relevant modifications
should be described.
3. Results and discussion
Results should be clear and concise. Discussion should
explore the significance of the results of the work, not
repeat them. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of
published literature.
4. Conclusions
The main conclusions drawn from results should be
presented in a short Conclusions section. Do not include
citations in this section.
Formulae, symbols and abbreviations:
Formulae will be typeset in Italics (preferable with the
Equation Editor of Microsoft Office 2003) and should be
written or marked as such in the manuscript, unless they
require a different styling. The formulae should be
numbered on the right side, between brackets:
a3 = 3M / 4N (1)
Always refer in the text to Equations as (Eq. 1), Eqs. (1-
4) etc.
The more complex Chemical Formulae should be
presented as Figures.
Abbreviations should be defined when first mentioned in
the abstract and again in the main body of the text and
used consistently thereafter.
SI units must be used throughout.
Footnotes should be avoided.
References:
The list of References should only include works that are
cited in the text and that have been published.
References should be cited in the text in brackets
(Harvard style) as in the following examples:
(Chisti, 1989), (Gavrilescu and Roman, 1996), (Moo-
Young et al., 1999).
References should be alphabetically listed at the end
of paper, with complete details, as follows:

Web references must not be listed separately, after the
reference list.
All references must be provided in English with a
specification of original language in round brackets.
Citation in text
Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is
also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Do not
cite references in the abstract and conclusions.
Unpublished results, personal communications as well
as URL addresses are not recommended in the
references list..
Citation of a reference as "in press" implies that the item
has been accepted for publication.
Papers which have been accepted for publication should
be included in the list of references with the name of the
journal and the specification "in press".
References style
Text: All citations in the text may be made directly (or
parenthetically) and should refer to:
- single author: the author's name (without initials, unless
there is ambiguity) and the year of publication: “as
previously demonstrated (Smith, 2007)”; “as Smith
(2007) demonstrated”
- two authors: both authors' names and the year of
publication: (Arnold and Sebastian, 2008; Smith and
Hansel, 2006; Stern and Lars, 2009)
- three or more authors: first author's name followed by
"et al." and the year of publication: “As has recently been
shown (Werner et al., 2005)…”, “Kramer et al. (2000)
have recently shown ...."
Citations of groups of references should be listed
first alphabetically, then chronologically.
Examples: "…..as demonstrated (Aden, 1996a, 1996b,
1999; Allan and Jones, 1995; Han et al., 2007; Weiss
and Schmidt, 1988)”.
Abbreviations
Define all abbreviations at their first mention in the text.
Ensure consistency of abbreviations throughout the
article.
Acknowledgements
Include acknowledgements in a separate section at the
end of the article before the references and do not,
therefore, include them on the title page, as a footnote to
the title or otherwise. List here those individuals who
provided help during the research (e.g., providing
language help, writing assistance or proof reading the
article, funding supports etc.).
Footnotes
Footnotes must be avoided. Do not include footnotes in
the Reference list.
Table footnotes
Indicate each footnote in a table with a superscript
lowercase letter.
Tables
Draw the Tables in grid format using a basic, solid line
style without shadows.
Ensure that the data presented in Tables do not duplicate
results described in Figures or elsewhere in the paper.
Figures
Number Figures consecutively in accordance with their
appearance in the text. All illustrations should be
provided in camera-ready form, suitable for reproduction,
which may include reduction without retouching.
Photographs, charts and diagrams are all to be referred
to as Figure(s) and should be numbered consecutively,
in the order to which they are referred.
Figures may be inserted preferably as black line
drawings. They should be pasted on, rather than taped,
since the latter results in unclear edges upon
reproduction.
Ensure that each illustration has a caption, placed below
the Figure. Supply also captions separately, not attached
to the figure. A maximum limit of 8 Figures are allowed
per manuscript.
A caption should comprise a brief title (not on the Figure
itself) and a description of the illustration. Keep text in the
illustrations themselves to a minimum but explain all
symbols and abbreviations used. Multiple Figures can be
expressed as one Figure (for e.g. 1a, 1b, 1c etc...), while
retaining the maximum limit of 6.
ALL Figures must be submitted in either .jpg or .tiff
format with a very good resolution (but do not submit
graphics that are disproportionately large for the
content).
Figures and Tables must be embedded in the text.
Proofs
Proofs will be sent to the corresponding author (by e-
mail) and should be returned within 72 hours of receipt.
Corrections should be restricted to typesetting errors;
any other changes may be charged to the authors.
Paper in Electronic Format:
Authors are asked to submit their final and accepted
manuscript as an attachment to one of the above-
mentioned e-mail addresses. Use the .doc format (not
.docx !).
5. Page charge
There is no charge per printed page for regular papers.
6. Reprints
The corresponding author will be provided with a .pdf file
of the paper via e-mail, free of charge. A hard copy Of
the issue containing the paper can be provided on
request, for a fee. This request will be formulated when
the final form of the manuscript (the electronic one) is
provided.
7. Additional procedures for the editorial
management of Environmental Engineering
and Management Journal
Starting with volume 13/2014, the members of the
Scientific Advisory Board and the Corresponding authors
will receive each issue of the journal in electronic .pdf
format. Printed copies can be delivered on request.
An author cannot appear on more than two papers per
regular issue. An author cannot appear on more than
three papers in a Guest Editor/ Conference issue.
The evaluation/peer-review process of manuscripts
submitted for Guest Editor / Conference issues
published according to journal Editorial Procedure and
Policy will be handled and evaluated as with regular
manuscripts, so that only consistent papers will be
published. The manuscripts must be sent at least six
months before the presumed data of publication. Those
manuscripts which do not fulfill the journal requirements
will be rejected. This is to discourage superficiality in the
development of the manuscript, from formal and scientific
points of view. No amount of money will be refunded
following the rejection of manuscripts.
No more than 160 pages and no more than 20 papers
are acceptable for regular issues. No more than 180
pages and no more than 25 papers are opportune for
special issues. The number of pages is based on the
published version of an article, not on the submitted
version (for instance, when page breaks are changed
and when images are enlarged for easier viewing).
An issue can include, as an exception, a number of 25-
30 papers as a maximum. This situation could appear
when the authors of an already accepted paper need and
ask for early publication, from the position in the list of
accepted papers. In this circumstance, a yearly
submission to our journal (500 Euro) will be asked for
each already accepted paper, for its publication in
advance.
A newly-received manuscript can be evaluated by
priority, when a deposit of 200 Euro shall be paid by
authors in advance. If the manuscript is deemed
unsuitable for publication, the authors will not be eligible
for a refund.
Failure to pay mandatory charges may result in the paper
being withheld from early publication.
In all cases, the corresponding author will sign an
agreement with the Editor-in-Chief, and the Director of
the EcoZone Publishing House according to journal
Editorial Procedure and Policy.
Automated software is used for checking against
plagiarism. In order to avoid false results, the generated
reports are cautiously checked and confirmed by journal
staff. We do not send plagiarism reports to authors. Any
manuscripts which do not prove to be at least 90%
original will be rejected. The rejection for plagiarism may
arise at any phase of the editorial / review process, even
if the manuscript was accepted for publication. The
authors are solely responsible for the originality of their
submission. Therefore, any manuscript should be
carefully checked for such inconsistencies before
submitting to EEMJ.
The authors are required to follow academic publishing
rules, to adhere to the principles of scientific ethics and
to sign the Authors’ warranty and Copyright transfer.
Detailed information concerning these issues may
be found of the EEMJ website, under Editorial
Procedure and Policy.
