Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability
Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability (COSUST) builds on Elsevier's reputation for excellence in scientific publishing and long-standing commitment to communicating high quality reproducible research. Established in 2010 as part of the Current Opinion and Research (CO+RE) suite of journals, COSUST focuses on peer reviewed polished, concise and timely short reviews of recent literature and synthesis of emerging topics, innovations and perspectives. Since 2019, COSUST has a new companion Gold Open Access journal, Current Research in Environmental Sustainability, which focuses on empirically-based research articles. All CO+RE journals leverage the Current Opinion legacy - of editorial excellence, high-impact, and global reach - to ensure they are a widely read resource that is integral to scientists' workflow.Expertise - Editors and Editorial Board bring depth and breadth of expertise and experience to the journal.Discoverabil... - Articles get high visibility and maximum exposure on an industry-leading scientific publishing platform that reaches a vast global audience.Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability aims to define the new innovative sustainability science discipline by integrating perspectives from the natural and the social sciences on human-environment interactions and management challenges across regional and global systems. Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability thus emphasizes interdisciplinary sustainability research approaches, the solutions it provides and their dissemination and application.Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability aims to stimulate scientifically grounded, interdisciplinary, multi-faceted debate, synthesis and exchange of ideas. Additionally, Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability will continue to publish papers on strategic research plans and key findings of leading global-change research networks, it thus serves as an invaluable source of current peer-reviewed and synthesized information for researchers, lecturers, teachers, practitioners, policy makers and students.Most of the issues published by the journal are invited Special Issues addressing current themes around major global-change systems and problems, the emerging new transdisciplinary sustainability science, sustainability governance and transformation, environmental change assessments, international initiatives, as well as more philosophical reflection on approaches to sustainability challenges. Once a year, we publish an Open Issue, which offers an opportunity for authors working on diverse topics to submit an abstract for consideration. In collaboration with the International Science Council (ISC), COSUST also includes a section dedicated to the 'State of Knowledge on Social Transformations to Sustainability', which consist of original or existing peer-reviewed papers, reviewing knowledge on various dimensions of social transformations to sustainability and drawing out implications for research, practice or policy (https://www.journal... of Special Issues and Guest Editors: We welcome proposals for Special Issues consisting of (1) an overview of the theme, and a motivation why it is timely and innovative, and justifies publication in the journal; (2) a list of proposed topics and names of selected authors.

Energy and Climate Change
Energy and Climate Change is a multidisciplinary journal that aims to provide accessible, decision-relevant research on energy sector strategies to address climate change. It covers the intersection of energy and climate-related fields, spanning the social and physical sciences, with the aim of identifying real solutions and strategies to reduce emissions and to respond to a changing climate. The challenges around energy and climate change are too big for any single discipline – it will only be possible to overcome the challenges around energy and climate change if people from different backgrounds can work together to find solutions. As a multidisciplinary journal, Energy and Climate Change aims to promote rapid communication and dialogue among the social scientists, physical scientists, engineering, and both public and private decision makers that must work together to meet the challenges around energy and climate change. Energy and Climate Change seeks articles with a strategic focus that are not already covered in disciplinary journals. The journal seeks high-quality writing that can be understood by researchers from different disciplines.- ISSN: 0973-0826
