Journal Guide

Since the first issue was published in 1984, Wasafiri has always opened minds and crossed literary worlds. The magazine remains key in mapping new literary landscapes and offering the best of contemporary international writing today, consistently featuring Britain's diverse cultural heritage whilst also highlighting the vast range of worldwide diasporic and migrant literature. 'Wasafiri', the Kiswahili word for travellers, captures our ethos: to travel the world via the word to extend and challenge the established boundaries of literary culture. Wasafiri gives particular prominence to those whose literary and historical concerns do not necessarily fit within the confining rubrics of any one particular movement, tradition, or culture. One of the UK's first publications to have provided a sustained outlet for new writing, it has contributed to the emergence of many now established voices and offers a dynamic context for dialogue and critical debate. The quarterly magazine draws widely across modern culture and the arts, publishing a lively and informed mix of fiction, poetry, interviews, essays and reviews by both well-known and rising names. As such, Wasafiri provides a unique forum for those keen to explore the geographies and contours of new and emerging literary worlds. Last year Wasafiri celebrated its 25th anniversary with a series of cutting edge live events including renowned literary names and some of the best up and coming voices, whilst the magazine's New Writing Prize discovered some exciting new creative writers. As we move into our next quarter century, Wasafiri looks forward to renewing its commitment to 'celebrating the best of tomorrow's writers today'.

Waste Management is an international journal devoted to the presentation and discussion of information on the generation, prevention, characterization, monitoring, treatment, handling, reuse and ultimate residual disposition of solid wastes, both in industrialized and in economically developing countries. The journal addresses various types of solid wastes including municipal (e.g., residential, institutional, commercial, light industrial), agricultural, and special (e.g., C and D, health care, household hazardous wastes, sewage sludge).Waste Management is designed for scientists, engineers, and managers, regardless of their discipline, who are involved in scientific, technical and other issues related to solid waste management. Emphasis is placed on integrated approaches. These approaches require the blending of technical and non-technical factors. Although the dissemination and application of innovative technical information is extremely important, the implementation of sustainable waste management practices also requires a thorough understanding of the pertinent legal, social, economic, and regulatory issues involved.The journal strives to present a mix of subject matter that will best serve to help the reader understand the breadth of issues related to solid waste management. The following are some of the major areas in which papers are solicited:• Generation and characterization• Minimization• Recycling and reuse• Storage, collection, transport, and transfer• Treatment (mechanical, biological, chemical, thermal, other)• Landfill disposal (including design, monitoring, remediation of old sites)• Environmental considerations• Financial and marketing aspects• Policy and regulations• Education and training• Planning and implementation.

Waste Management & Research (WM&R) publishes articles relating to both the theory and practice of waste management and research. Published on behalf of the International Solid Waste Association (ISWA) topics include: wastes (focus on solids), processes and technologies, management systems and tools, and policy and regulatory frameworks, sustainable waste management designs, operations, policies or practices.

Waste & Biomass Valorization is devoted to the growing field of valorization of waste and biomass to energy, fuels and other useful materials, with emphasis on processes and practices that reduce emissions and life cycle assessment of technologies and materials. Research on the characterization of fuels and materials produced as well as those on the development of characterization techniques will be also welcomed. Topic areas to be covered by the journal include, but are not limited to: Valorization of waste and biomass municipal, wastewater industrial, electronic, wood and paper, sludge, agricultural, forest, construction and demolition, mining Valorization of energy and fuels ethanol, hydrogen, biogas, biofuel, refuse-derived Fuel/Oil (RD, RDO), thermal processes products Valorization of materials raw materials, secondary materials, recycled materials Key issues will be cutting-edge research on life cycle and risk assessment, health and safety impact assessment, decision-making, legislation and education. High quality research articles, reviews, case studies (both pilot-plant and full-scale) will be accepted for review. The Journal will promote interdisciplinarity and bridging of various fields of engineering science including Environmental, Chemical, Civil Engineering, and Management Science. The Journal will also be of interest to n, on-academic groups such as industry, local and national government interested in the beneficial use and reuse of residues, biomass and waste.
