IEEE prints author initials before the surname and abbreviates the periodical title. Check the abbreviation for Environment International against your target publication's reference list before submitting.
APA
Leslie, H., Velzen, M. J. M. V., Brandsma, S. H., Vethaak, D., García‐Vallejo, J. J., & Lamoree, M. (2022). Discovery and quantification of plastic particle pollution in human blood. Environment International, 163, 107199. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envint.2022.107199
APA puts the year directly after the authors, keeps the full journal title in italics, and renders the DOI as a URL.

}The citation key is the first author's surname and the year. Keep it stable once it appears in a draft, because renaming it breaks every cite that used it.
What to verify before you submit
- The volume and page range. Environment International records 14,906 works, and articles published online first can carry a different volume from the final issue. Cite the version you read.
- The abbreviated title. IEEE style uses standard periodical abbreviations, and registry metadata almost always returns the full name instead.
- Author name order. Registry records store full given names; IEEE and APA both want initials, formatted differently from each other.
- Whether the article is open access. This journal is open access and listed in DOAJ, which affects whether a reader can reach the version you cited.
- That the source supports your claim. A correctly formatted reference says nothing about whether the passage backs the sentence citing it.

Questions about Environment International
What is the ISSN of Environment International?
The linking ISSN is 0160-4120. The journal also carries 1873-6750, which usually separate the print and electronic editions. Use the linking ISSN in a BibTeX issn field.
Who publishes Environment International?
Elsevier BV publishes it. 209 journals covered here come from the same publisher, and they do not all share one reference style, so check the requirements for this title rather than the publisher.
Is Environment International open access?
OpenAlex records it as open access and it is listed in DOAJ. An open-access article is reachable by any reader, so a reviewer can check the passage you cited without a subscription.
How do I cite an article from Environment International in LaTeX?
Use the BibTeX entry above as the pattern. The entry type is article, the journal field holds the full title, and the citation key leslie2022 follows the first author's surname and the year. Brace any acronym in the title so your bibliography style does not lowercase it.
Does Environment International use page numbers or article numbers?
The example article runs from page 107199, so this journal used page ranges at least for that volume. Newer issues in many journals switched to article numbers, so check the version you are citing.
How influential is Environment International?
Its h-index is 336, above 47% of the journals covered here, and its articles have been cited 805,623 times in total. Its two-year mean citedness is 11.12. These are indexing figures, not a judgement of whether a specific article is sound.
Does Environment International have a Journal Impact Factor?
Not one shown here. The Journal Impact Factor is Clarivate's metric, published in Journal Citation Reports and readable only with a JCR subscription, so this page does not restate it. The figures above come from OpenAlex: an h-index of 336 and a two-year mean citedness of 11.12 across 14,906 indexed works, captured on 2026-09-18. Mean citedness averages citations per work over a two-year window, which makes it closer in construction to CiteScore than to the Impact Factor. The three are not interchangeable, so quote whichever one your target venue actually asks for.
