Journal of Cleaner Production (journal-of-cleaner-production)
Journal positioning
The Journal of Cleaner Production (JCLP) is the Elsevier journal for cleaner production,
sustainability, and the transition to sustainable systems — cleaner technologies and
processes, circular-economy strategies, sustainability assessment (including life-cycle
assessment), and corporate and industrial sustainability. Its defining expectation is a
cleaner-production or sustainability-transition contribution with transparent method:
a study that demonstrably reduces environmental burden or advances sustainable practice,
with explicit assumptions, system boundaries, and data sources. Relative to Resources,
Conservation & Recycling, JCLP is broader — it spans technology, management, policy, and
assessment rather than focusing on material/waste circularity. A descriptive case study with
opaque LCA assumptions or no generalizable cleaner-production insight is a weak fit. This
skill is a fit / venue-selection / re-framing tool. It does not replace the journal's
current author guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live JCLP submission guidance.
When to trigger
The author names the Journal of Cleaner Production and wants a fit/framing check for a
cleaner-production or sustainability paper.
An LCA, cleaner-technology, or corporate-sustainability study must be re-framed around a
generalizable cleaner-production contribution.
The author is deciding between JCLP and Resources, Conservation & Recycling, or between JCLP
and a broader sustainability-science venue.
The author needs JCLP's methodological-transparency bar (LCA assumptions, system boundaries)
and desk-reject heuristics.
Scope & topic fit
Cleaner technologies and processes that reduce emissions, energy, water, or material use at
the source, with quantified environmental benefit.
Sustainability assessment: life-cycle assessment, life-cycle costing, environmental and
integrated assessment, and footprint analyses with transparent methodology.
Circular-economy strategies and sustainable production–consumption systems at process,
product, organization, or system level.
Corporate, industrial, and supply-chain sustainability: management practices, eco-innovation,
and sustainability governance with evidence-based analysis.
Sustainability transitions, policy instruments, and behavioral or socio-technical change
toward cleaner systems.
