About the journal
Water and Environmental Chemistry Research (Water Environ. Chem. Res) with a short form of WECR is an official journal for Faculty of Engineering and Science, Curtin University Malaysia. WECR publishes research article, review, and short communication on theoretical and applied sciences related water, environment, all aspect of pollution and solution to pollution in the biosphere.
WECR is published online with a frequency of two (2) issues per year in February and August with FREE of Article Processing Charge (APCs) and Articles Submission Charges (ASCs). Besides that, special issues of WECR will be published non-periodically from time to time.
Focus and scope
The journal is intended to provide a platform for research communities from different discipline to disseminate, exchange and communicate all aspects of water environment, all aspect of pollution and solution to pollution in the biosphere.
Topics of specific interest include, but not limited to, are:
- Water research: Water resources management, Water policies and planning, Sustainability and water, Water pollution, Hydraulics, Water and wastewater treatment, Wetland systems, Sustainable drainage, Groundwater, Aquatic ecosystems
- Environmental pollution: Environmental monitoring, Transport, Fate and impact of contaminant, Risk mitigation, Deposition, Accumulation.
- Pollution Treatment technologies: safer and cleaner technologies (chemical, physical and biological process) with minimization of the environmental impact of contaminant in water, air, and soil environment.
- Emerging contaminants: all aspect related to persistent organic pollutants, endocrine disruptors, endocrine disruptors, pesticides, flame retardants, other industrial chemicals.
- Other environmental aspects including Environmental modelling, climate change, and green technologies.
