Environmental Science & Technology Review Time: What Authors Can Actually Expect
Environmental Science & Technology is often fast at triage and much slower once the paper enters a real environmental-review process.

Environmental Science & Technology is often fast at triage and much slower once the paper enters a real environmental-review process.
Journal of Cleaner Production is strong in Scopus because it sits at the center of quantitative sustainability and cleaner-production research, not because it carries a vague green label.
Science of the Total Environment has a strong Scopus profile for a very large journal, but the real submission question is whether your paper genuinely needs a broad environmental stage.
Science of The Total Environment doesn't report an official acceptance rate, but desk rejection is significant for scope mismatches. Here's what editors actually look for and where most environmental science papers fail.
