Chemistry of the Total Environment (COTE) is quietly becoming a home for serious environmental chemistry – especially from the Global South.

COTE is an open-access, international, peer-reviewed journal published by Glintplus Publishing and fully registered with ISSN (2971-7035). The journal focuses on the total environment – the ecosphere and the technosphere – and how chemicals move, react and impact ecosystems and people.

Why are more authors paying attention to COTE?
1. Clear focus: environmental sciences across water, wastewater, soil, air, microplastics, contaminants of emerging concern, remediation and risk assessment. Recent articles cover microplastics in aquatic environments, seasonal microplastics in surface waters, and heavy-metal risk in industrial and agricultural soils.
2. Global visibility: articles receive DOIs via Crossref and are already being cited in other journals and reports, and tracked in databases such as Scilit and Google Scholar.
3. Fair and transparent APC: as an open-access journal, accepted papers attract a one-time article processing charge of just 100 USD – a fraction of what many commercial journals charge.
4. Support for under-resourced researchers: Glintplus supports (including up to 60% discounts for authors from under-resourced regions) to keep publication accessible.
5. Continuous publishing: COTE has been publishing since 2021 and now uses a continuous publishing model, so accepted articles appear online promptly.
If you work on environmental science and technology: pollution, remediation, risk assessment or sustainable technologies, COTE is designed with you in mind.

Plagiarism isn’t just copy-paste.
3 subtle traps researchers miss:

* Patchwriting (rephrasing without credit)
* Idea theft (using others’ concepts/data)
* Citation stuffing (padding references to game metrics)
