 Editorship

Editorial duties started with appointments to the board of editors of "Umweltwissenschaften und Schadstoff-     Forschung (UWSF)" and "Environmental Science and  Pollution Research (ESPR)", both edited by Otto Hutzinger, University of Bayreuth (editor-in-chief) and Almut Heinrich (publisher editor) at ecomed, Landsberg/Lech, Bavaria.

The first issue of "The International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment" appeared in December 1995. This journal came about by an initiative of Almut Heinrich who invited Walter Klöpffer to act as editor-in-chief and has been acting   as the publisher editor - in addition to her other duties -      since     the beginning. The journal, which is still the only        one entirely devoted to LCA, has now an editorial board of more than 40 international LCA experts from academia, industry, consultancy and governmental institutions.

All contributions to the printed journal are also available    online as PDF-files. The articles published in the journal comprise peer-reviewed papers on LCA - methodology and case studies. In addition, editorials, commentary papers,   book reviews and conference reports are included in each      of the six issues per year. The "Int J LCA" has been included into the ISI (Institute of Scientific Information) services     starting with Volume 6 (1) 2001: Science Citation Index, ISI Alerting Services and Current Contents/Agriculture, Biology, and Environmental Sciences.

The journal is complemented by the book series "LCA Documents" (edited by W. Klöpffer and O. Hutzinger) and    by the Life Cycle Management (LCM) section of the    electronic journal "Gate to Environmental and Health Science (EHS)".
