Atmospheric Environment

ISSN: 1352-2310
5 Year impact factor: 4.4
Impact factor: 4.2

Atmospheric composition and its impactsAtmospheric Environment has an open access journal, Atmospheric Environment: X, which covers emissions science and reductions strategies: If you have a paper related to those themes, please submit your paper here. Alternatively, if your paper is related to the scope of Atmospheric Environment (see below) please submit your paper using the link on the left of this page - "submit your paper".Atmospheric Environment is the international journal for scientists in different disciplines related to atmospheric composition and its impacts. The journal publishes scientific articles with atmospheric relevance of emissions and depositions of gaseous and particulate compounds, chemical processes and physical effects in the atmosphere, as well as impacts of the changing atmospheric composition on human health, air quality, climate change, and ecosystems.The overarching aim of Atmospheric Environment is to publish original research, reviews, and perspectives that advance the international scientific community's understanding of the composition of the atmosphere. Atmospheric Environment has adopted a broad perspective of the atmosphere to include the background locations in the troposphere and stratosphere, continental and urban locations, as well as indoor environments and microenvironments that expose humans to atmospheric components.The scope of the journal includes natural and anthropogenic sources, transformations, and transport of atmospheric components, as well as the impacts of atmospheric components on global and regional climate, sensitive ecosystems, visibility, and human health. Atmospheric Environment specifically focuses on policy-relevant science that will influence regulations, management and protection of atmospheric resources, protection of ecosystems and human health, and will drive future scientific research efforts that investigate the atmosphere. Additional information about the evolving and expanding scope of Atmospheric Environment is presented below.The editors of Atmospheric Environment will manage the journal to best advance its goals, whilst serving the atmospheric science community through delivery of the most recent high-quality research.Atmospheric Environment encourages submissions describing novel experimental and modeling studies that advance understanding of the composition of the atmosphere and that elucidate sources, transport and transformations, and impacts from atmospheric components.To be considered for publication in Atmospheric Environment, manuscripts should clearly show that the research directly advances the understanding of the composition of the atmosphere.The following manuscripts will NOT be considered for publication:studies of new experimental methods that are neither applied or do not advance the understanding of the composition of the atmosphere,studies that examine emissions from novel atmospheric sources but do not demonstrate how these emissions impact the composition of the atmosphere,studies that examine atmospheric transport but do not directly show how the investigated transport process impact the composition of the atmosphere,computational studies that do not demonstrate the atmospheric relevancy of the computed chemical pathways or intermediate products, andstudies that focus on well-established or routine monitoring and modeling methods to investigate air pollution issues of local interest.As research tools continue to advance and broaden the understanding of the impacts of atmospheric components, Atmospheric Environment is currently encouraging additional manuscript submissions in these developing areas:indoor air quality,satellites and remote sensing,human health,the use of real-time or semi-continuous experimental observations of the composition of the atmosphere, andthe use of data science to understand sources, transformation, transport, and the impacts of atmospheric components. Please note that studies that utilize novel data science tools that focus on forecasting and do not provide insight into atmospheric sources, processes, and impacts are not suitable for publication in Atmospheric Environment.Atmospheric Environment is open to policy, economic, and environmental justice studies that focus on changes in the composition of the atmosphere but will only consider manuscripts that are appropriately targeted for the readership of Atmospheric Environment.This journal welcomes contributions that support and advance the UN's sustainable development goals, in particular SDG 7 (Affordable and clean energy) and SDG 13 (Climate Action)

5 Year impact factor: 4.2
Impact factor: 3.9

Climate – Sustainability – ResilienceCity and Environment Interactions is an international and interdisciplinary rapid open access forum focusing on the interactions between cities and related environmental and climatic pressures. The outcome-related research we publish should tackle the challenges that densely-populated cities (and their wider regions) face in a changing world, as increasing populations live in conurbations.We welcome full research papers, review articles, and are also keen to consider short communications that present original material for rapid dissemination. For more details, please see below for our different Article Types.City and Environment Interactions also welcomes research on the urban environment from both the natural and social sciences, especially if it demonstrates the interface with urban policy making and other important stakeholders. It is important to note that the journal aims be useful reading not just for academics, but stakeholders within industry, urban government, and policymakers etc.What topics will the journal cover?Pressures from pollution, climate and the environment add to the demand cities place on resources, and difficult decisions are inevitable in making cities efficient, enjoyable and healthy places to live. The United Nations places great hope in local, city and regional governments taking responsibility to drive sustainable development.Multi-disciplinary research from across both the natural and social sciences is urgently needed to inform the decision making required for better and more sustainable cities.Our subject scope sits at the nexus of how the science of cities and regions (i.e. networks; processes and interactions; communities; and systems) interact with sustainability, resilience, resource limitation, pollution, climate/climate change, and global atmosphere and warming.Some examples of potential topics in this field could be:Environmental pressures on cities and their regionsClimate threats such as water shortages, urban runoff, urban heat island etc.Urban greenhouse gas emission and decarbonisation in cities.Impact of extreme weather in cities.Poor air quality and population exposureAir pollutant sensors and community monitoringTransport networks and pollution or climate changeProblems of water supplyEnvironmental issues surrounding recycling and solid wasteIntegrative concerns: electricity; food; water and waste; medicine; securityCross-disciplinary studies; cities as complex systemsCommunity attitudes to urban environments; ethical dimensions and inequalityPublic perception of climate change and urban pollutionSustainability and resilience in the face of threatRole of technology in enhancing urban resilienceNote: If you feel your paper is not covered by the above topics, but nevertheless relevant, please contact the Editor-in Chief, as it may still be considered for possible inclusion.Submission RequirementsSubmissions should appeal to the journal's broad and multi-disciplinary readership. As such, submissions should present research relevant not just to academics but also to multiple disciplines and be accessible to an audience outside of the field, or otherwise be within a cross-disciplinary or emerging field. This gives authors the opportunity to convey the importance of their work to a wider community (see stakeholders mentioned above) in addition to specialists in their field.To assist the Editors in assessing your article, you are invited at submission to provide a brief justification statement in the letter accompanying your submission. This statement should outline how your article satisfies the publication criteria detailed above. The following questions should normally be addressed in your statement:What are the new results or developments reported in your article?In what way are these new results or developments timely?Why are these new results or developments significant to policy?How does your paper demonstrate some element of research outcome as it pertains to the wider stakeholder community?Article Types and word limitsOriginal Research Papers: no word limitOriginal Review Papers: no word limitShort Communications: not normally more than 3000 words of main text, making a timely and significant contribution to the Journal and deserving of rapid publication. There should be no more than three figures or tables in total. These articles focus on distilling, synthesising or commenting on the outcomes of research - for example as they relate to an end goal of policy, planning, infrastructure, or industry. We also accept Short Communications commenting on the next stage iterations that look beyond the scope of a current research project. Short Communication should also focus on a specific aspect of a problem. One example would be a new finding that is expected to have a significant impact. In addition, we invite Short Communications that combine, interpret and communicate knowledge from diverse scientific disciplines to policymakers and wider stakeholders. Specific cases of Co-production of research would fall into this category.Invited Viewpoint: To add to the Original Research submitted, the Journal will also publish Invited Viewpoints; articles written by experts to assess and curate the vast amount of research undertaken globally in this field. Invited Viewpoints may also include innovation insights (short communications on innovative scientific ideas for demand creation and/or field-based demand) and science status (i.e. overviews of the status of research in this field globally, regionally and nationally as small opinion pieces). If you have an idea for an invited viewpoint, please contact the Editor-in Chief in the first instance.Invited Viewpoint articles:Short papers ~ 2500-3000 words in main text (though longer can be possible in some cases. Discuss with the Editor-in Chief).At least one figure, possibly a graphical abstract, to summarise the main concepts discussedAt least 10% of the references should be selected and annotated as being papers of special interest (*)outstanding interest (**) or key reviews (R)Annotated references must be from the past three years, and the annotation should provide a brief description of the major findings and the importance of the study.Policy Forum: (maximum 1500 words) present analyses of the policy implications of recent scientific results or studies or discuss the intersection of science and society.Technical Comment: (maximum 1500 words) present critical technical comments made on a recently published research article in the journal.
