Ecological Indicators

ISSN: 1470-160X
5 Year impact factor: 6.6
Impact factor: 7

Integrating Sciences for Monitoring, Assessment and ManagementThe ultimate aim of Ecological Indicators is to integrate the monitoring and assessment of ecological and environmental indicators with management practices. The journal provides a forum for the discussion of the applied scientific development and review of traditional indicator applications as well as for theoretical, modelling and quantitative approaches such as index development. Research into the following areas will be published.• All aspects of ecological and environmental indicators and indices. • New indicators, and new approaches and methods for indicator development, testing and use. • Development and modelling of indices, e.g. application of indicator suites across multiple scales and resources. • Analysis and research of resource, system- and scale-specific indicators. • Methods for integration of social and other valuation metrics for the production of scientifically rigorous and politically-relevant assessments using indicator-based monitoring and assessment programs. • Approaches on how research indicators can be transformed into direct application for management purposes. • Broader assessment objectives and methods, e.g. biodiversity, biological integrity, and sustainability, through the use of indicators. • Resource-specific indicators such as landscape, agroecosystems, forests ecosystems, aquatic ecosystems, wetlands, etc.The journal seeks innovative papers which provide new developmental and methodological steps for environmental indication. Submissions of results from simple monitoring programs or single case studies, resulting in descriptive approaches without any exploration from the theory of indication, from the methodology of indication, or from the management points of view are not considered suitable for publication in Ecological Indicators.The following contributions will be accepted:Original research papers; Review articles; Special themed issues; Short notes and case studies; Viewpoints; Letters to the Editor; Book reviews.Ecological Indicators has an open access companion title, Environmental and Sustainability Indicators . It welcomes submissions promoting research on indicators as drivers for environmental management, policy formulation, and interdisciplinary research assessing complex environmental interactions for stimulating sustainable development.

We also currently discourage submissions based solely on bibliometric analysis, aggregate econometrics, or qualitative social science. Submission of critical review and discussion articles is allowed, but such submissions must succinctly provide critical insights and novel thoughts that advance the field of environmental management in a specific topic area. Reviews that are overly lengthy (e.g., in the form of a traditional textbook, thesis, or dissertation-style literature review) or that simply summarize existing literature without providing novel, practical insights will generally be desk-rejected by an executive editor.Authors will be asked to provide a novelty and relevance statement indicating how the results are deemed to be original with respect to the state-of-the-art in the field, relevant and essential to the advance of knowledge on environmental management and applicable to a wider audience and wider contexts.Journal of Environmental Management is the companion title to the open access journal Environmental Challenges.We encourage those interested in organizing a special issue or a virtual special issue within the scope of the journal to fill out this form and contact Prof. Peter Hooda for more information. Additionally, we encourage potential organizers to carefully review the relevant requirements in the Guide for Authors before proceeding.

Spatial Statistics

ISSN: 2211-6753
5 Year impact factor: 2.1
Impact factor: 2.1

Spatial Statistics publishes articles on the theory and application of spatial and spatio-temporal statistics. It favours manuscripts that present theory generated by new applications, or in which new theory is applied to an important practical case. A purely theoretical study will only rarely be accepted. Pure case studies and algorithms without methodological development are not acceptable for publication.Spatial Statistics concerns the quantitative analysis of spatial and spatio-temporal data, including their statistical dependencies, heterogeneity, accuracy and uncertainties. Methodology for spatial statistics is typically found in probability theory, stochastic modelling and mathematical statistics as well as in information and computer science. Spatial statistics is used in mapping, assessing spatial data quality, sampling design optimisation, modelling of spatial structures, and drawing of valid inference and causality from a limited set of spatio-temporal data. Application fields include:• The physical domains, e.g. environment, climate, agriculture, ecology, geosciences oceanography and remote sensing. • The social/economic domains, e.g. epidemiology, population characteristics, and disease mapping.Spatial Statistics encourages the submission of short communications and case studies in spatial statistics (i.e. manuscripts up to 3000 words presenting novel spatial statistical applications).Spatial Statistics aims to publish reproducible science. Authors are encouraged to submit and publish data, procedures, models and methods that support your research publication. It provides facilities to interlink those with your published articles.Spatial Statistics has an open attitude towards the latest developments in data science, deep learning and geoAI, as long as a substantial statistical component is present.
