Waste and Resource Management: Call for Early Career Board

Waste and Resource Management is pleased to announce the creation of an Early Career Reviewer Board.

About the journal

Waste and Resource Management publishes original research and practice papers on all civil engineering and construction related aspects of the resource management cycle, from the minimization of waste, through the re-use and recycling, to the management and disposal of residual wastes. 

Associated legislation, standards, socio-economic considerations and links with sustainable consumption and production are included. The range of subjects covered encompasses, but is not restricted to, strategies for reducing construction waste through better design, improved recovery and re-use, more efficient resource management, the performance of materials recovered from wastes, and, the procurement, planning, design, construction, operation and logistics of waste and resource management facilities.

The role of the Early Career Reviewer

WARM decided to develop an Early Career Reviewer Board (ECRB) to give Early Career Researchers the means to participate within a journal publishing environment and to be involved in developing the journal for the community along with the Editor, Associate Editors and Editorial Board Members.

Selected applicants will be appointed to the ECRB for 2 years, after which there may be the opportunity to be appointed to the Editorial Board in consultation with the Editor-in-Chief. Each successful member will be expected to review 3 to 4 new papers per year. Guidance will be provided for the journal’s submission system, ReView.
