Marine Chemistry
An International Journal for Studies of all Chemical Aspects of the Marine Environment Marine Chemistry publishes original empirical research, innovative methods and technologies, and novel modeling approaches in the field of marine chemistry and biogeochemistry. Preference will be given to hypothesis-driven studies that offer thought-provoking insights into the natural and human-induced controls and changes in ocean chemistry and biogeochemistry. Spatial scales range from the reach of tide to the open ocean and from molecules to ecosystems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, nutrient dynamics, metal cycling, carbon cycling, trace elements, radionuclides, ocean acidification, carbon sequestration (e.g., carbon dioxide removal and nature-based climate change solutions), deep-sea vent chemistry/biogeochem... isotope chemistry/biogeochem... land-ocean-atmospher... interactions, air-sea exchange, weathering processes, biogeochemical behavior of pollutants (e.g., toxic metals and plastics), biogeochemical fluxes, applications of ‘omics techniques that provide insight into biogeochemistry, and new applications of artificial intelligence/machine learning in modelling approaches. Temporal scales span from in-situ measurements and time-series observations to reconstructions of recent environmental changes based on sedimentary records.Marine Chemistry publishes the following article types:Research - provides novel original data on a research topic in Marine Chemistry/Biogeochem... These articles should strive to be transformative and broad-reaching in their scope. Core articles with a typical length of 6,000 words and a maximum of 10,000 words.Reviews - provides an extensive literature-based perspective on a topic in marine chemistry/biogeochem... These article typically do not contain original data, if they are used to develop a broader scope of synthesis. Comprehensive surveys between 8,000 and 20,000 words, addressing topics that cross traditional boundaries.Short Communications - shorter versions of Research Articles that provide new data on new techniques but also can present exciting new results that the authors believe stands alone at an early stage in development. Concise research papers typically range from 3,000 to 5,000 words, including up to three figures or tables.Perspective - provides a unique viewpoint on an important research area in Marine Chemistry/Biogeochem... These articles can be on past, current, and/or future trends, but differ from a Review Article in that they include an objective personal view on how this research has changed or perhaps should change. The Editors solicit perspective articles, but unsolicited contributions are also welcome. Discussions of subjective positions or new concepts in less than 2,000 words.- ISSN: 0304-4203
Journal of High Energy Astrophysics
The Journal of High Energy Astrophysics (JHEAP) is the first astrophysical journal that focuses on the study of the most energetic phenomena.JHEAP seeks scientifically sound papers, and particularly those crossing strict specialization fields, attracting wide interest. The journal welcomes manuscripts on theoretical models, simulations and observations of energetic astrophysical objects both in our Galaxy and beyond. Among those, black holes at all scales, neutron stars, pulsars and their nebula, magnetars, fast radio bursts, binaries, novae and supernovae, their remnants, active galaxies are just a few examples. The journal will consider research across the whole electromagnetic spectrum, as well as research using various messengers, such as gravitational waves or neutrinos. Effects of high-energy phenomena on cosmology and star-formation, results from dedicated surveys expanding the knowledge of extreme environments, and astrophysical implications of dark matter are also welcomed topics.The journal does not accept purely theoretical papers without applications to high-energy astronomical objects. In particular, papers on modified gravity, black hole physics, and unified theories without astrophysical applications are considered out of the scope of the journal.JHEAP has no page charges and has a delayed Open Access model, meaning that your article will automatically and without charge become Open Access after 12 months. The journal also accepts Letters, which disseminates timely and impactful results in the field. There is no length limit to the Letters. A speed-up refereeing process (typically in 2 weeks) is reinforced. The scientific editors will check its suitability to the Letters column and decide whether it is sent out for review as a Letter or a regular article. JHEAP also publishes Special Issues, invited reviews, and white papers. Interested authors can directly contact the Editor-in-Chief with well-justified proposals sent to the journal inbox [email protected]... only publishes professional, verifiable, and reproducible research and does not welcome articles just expressing personal opinions.- ISSN: 2214-4048
