Ⅱ. Requirements and notes for submission

1. General requirements

Environmental Sanitation Engineering accepts 7 types of articles, including research papers, reviews, opinion papers, short newsletters, paper reviews, editorials and long abstracts. Research papers should be less than 10000 words, which including original research results and project case analysis with important industrial impact. Review papers should be less than 20000 words with critical viewpoints and development direction of sanitation industry or research field, while the authors are required to submit research resumes. Opinion papers are required to be same as review papers, but with relatively few words and no research resume required. The short newsletter should be less than 4000 words and should have the same content and requirements as the research paper, only reduced in length. Reviews and editorials should be less than 2000 words, and editorials can only be submitted by the editorial board invitation. In addition, long abstract should be highly innovative and timeliness, with the words no more than 1000. Meanwhile, the line number should be marked in the paper. 

2. Submission letter

A submission letter must be submitted when you contribute the paper, which should include the following aspects: (1)Explain the research significance of the paper and illustrate the relationship between the paper and the journal; (2) Summarize the paper’s research purpose and the innovation points compared with the published paper (the summary of the content must be provided for the review papers); (3) Provide the number of words in the paper. If the submission letter does not meet the requirements, the submitted paper will not be considered for paper review.

3. The full text of the submitted paper

The paper should be divided into sections, numbered by 1, 2...,generally including 1 Introduction, 2 Materials and methods, 3 Results and discussion, 4 Conclusions; The sub-sections should be numbered 1.1 (sub-numbers 1.1.1, 1.1.2...), 1.2, etc. (the abstract is not included in the number of each section) and the title number generally does not exceed 3 levels. Each section shall be given a title, and each title should be on a separate line.

4. Introduction

The background and purpose of the research should be clearly and objectively described. When describing the research background, the importance of research significance should be highlighted directly, while general popular science knowledge should not be elaborated. When reviewing the contents of published papers, attention should be paid to highlighting their relevance to the research purposes of this paper. Meanwhile, in the last part of the introduction, the research purpose should be clearly stated. If the author needs a long literature review, it should be listed in a separate section after the introduction.

5. Materials and methods

Detailed experimental details should be provided for other researchers to refer. For quoting published experimental methods, the experimental process should be described briefly and the references should be marked. If the published experimental methods are quoted directly, it should be highlighted with quotation marks and the references should be marked too; In addition, improvements to published experimental methods should also be described.

Quantities, units and symbols should be implemented in Quantity and Units (GB 3100~3102—1993) strictly, and non-legal units of measurement should not be used. English abbreviations such as ppb and ppm cannot be used as unit symbols. When non-legal units of measurement appear in the data cited in the literature, the relation formula converted into legal units of measurement should be added. For example, the dry-base low calorific value of domestic waste is 790 kcal/kg (1 kcal= 4.186 kJ). A space must be placed between the number and the unit.

6. Results and discussion

The experimental phenomena and results should be described clearly and succinctly in the form of words, figures and tables. However, care should be taken to avoid duplication of information among words, figures as well as tables. Results and discussion sections can also be written separately. However, care should be taken to avoid repeating experimental results in the discussion section.

Figures and tables should be self-explanatory, with sequential coding and English-Chinese comparison titles of diagram and table. The table should be a three-line form. The end line of the coordinate figures should be on the scale line as much as possible. Horizontal and vertical coordinates must be vertical, the degree of density of the coordinate scale line should be similar, the scale line towards the figures. The scale number should be integral as much as possible, if it is too large or too small, it can be represented by an index, such as 10², 10^-2.

It is recommended to use Excel or Origin software to draw illustrations in the manuscript, and insert editable original drawings (vector drawings) into the manuscript.
