- After reviewing from the list of which online journal that I would likely submit my research essay would be Pursuit.
- Here's the link to the website: http://trace.tennessee.edu/pursuit/ I chose this online journal because I'm writing my research essay about an engineering/science problem about the automotive industry. Pursuit accepts works from all academic disciplines.
Additional Sources for Essay
- Challenges in using environmental indicators for measuring sustainability practices
- This source is a scholarly article found on ProQuest Research Library, and it talks about how environmental impacts from the automotive industry are associated with several key phases: manufacture, use, and disposal. The phase that produces the most environmental discharges is the use phase. The article looks at the life-cycle analysis and impacts posed by alternative designs.

- Automotive Fuel Efficiency
- This scholarly source was also found on ProQuest Research Library; it discusses how the fuel efficiency of vehicles today is a primary source for environmental pollution. If all older in-efficient vehicles were eliminated from the roads today and manufacturers produce vehicles that pollute less, then the environment will be cleaner.
