Environmental Journals: Information for Prospective Contributors

The primary purpose of this list is to provide prospective contributors to scholarly environmental journals with an overview of potential publication outlets for environmental articles. The compendium of journals below represents peer-reviewed law and policy publications that are either devoted solely to environmental issues, or which frequently publish pieces with environmental policy and law themes.

This will remain a work in progress; we anticipate ultimately honing our subjects list more and adding some descriptive text for each journal. Suggestions for additions or corrections to the list should be directed to either of the list's creators, William Burns Chair, Wildlife Committee, American Branch of the ILA, and or Kate O'Neill, University of California-Berkeley. Many thanks to everyone who has provided suggestions for the list.

Key for Relevant Subjects:
CC = Climate Change
E = Environmental General
EB = Environment/Business
EJ = Environmental Justice
G = Globalization
IE = International Environmental: General
W = Water
