The Journal of Regional Environmental Change wishes to broaden its base
of authors by inviting new research communities to use its pages for
high-quality publications. The journal is a young ISI-listed Springer
journal and offers fast, high quality reviewing, online-first
publication, and broad access to readers through numerous library
subscriptions worldwide.
The mission of the journal is to publish scientific research and opinion
papers that improve the understanding and the extent of environmental
changes, their causes, their impacts on people, and the options for
society to respond. Solutions are needed most at the regional level,
where physical features of the landscape, biological systems, and human
institutions interact.
The editors encourage submissions on interdisciplinary research across
the natural sciences, social sciences and humanities, and on more
focused studies that contribute toward solutions to complex
environmental problems. Journal topics include:
- The regional manifestations of global change, especially the
vulnerability of regions and sectors
- The adaptation of social-ecological systems to environmental change in
the context of sustainable development
- Trans-boundary and cross-jurisdictional issues, legislative and
governance frameworks, and the broad range of policy and management
issues associated with building, maintaining and restoring robust
social-ecological systems at regional scales.
Primarily, the journal accepts research articles, presenting new
evidence from analyses of empirical data or theoretical investigations
of regional environmental change. In addition to research articles, the
journal also publishes editorials, short communications, invited
mini-reviews on topics of strong current interest, as well as special
features that provide multifaceted discussion of complex topics or
particular regions.
