Type of Manuscript
Review Paper: Review Papers review important areas of recycling in order to inform the general reader of the background, state of art, and outstanding research results. Authors who has a plan to submit a ‘Journal Review’ are recommended to contact the editor.
Research Paper: Original findings pertaining to the scope of the journal will be published after peer review. Full-length research papers describe important new experimental or theoretical results. Submitted manuscripts will be peer reviewed by three reviewers who are assigned by the Editor.
Short Communication: Short communications are short reports which convey the essence of a new experimental or a theoretical concept, present new experimental data, elaborate on a previous journal article, etc. A short paper describes briefly a piece of work which is not comprehensive enough to make it submit as a full article. Nomenclature, units, and references must conform to those for ‘Research Paper’.
Discussion: Discussion may be submitted on any subject of interest to the journal readership. Discussion commenting on previously published articles will normally be sent to the authors of the previously publication for possible response prior to publication.

Review Process
All manuscript are peer-reviewed by three reviewers assigned by the Editor.
