Journal of Environmental Studies and Sciences

期刊简介：The Journal of Environmental Studies and Sciences is the official publication for the Association for Environmental Studies and Sciences (AESS). Interdisciplinary environmental studies require an integration of many different scientific and professional disciplines. The AESS and the Journal provide fora for the advancement of interdisciplinary approaches to the study of the coupled human-nature systems. A major goal of AESS is to encourage this advancement by promoting related teaching, research and service and by facilitating communication across boundaries that may inhibit environmental discourse across traditional academic disciplines—for example, between and among the physical, biological, social sciences, the humanities, and environmental professions. This commitment also involves supporting the professional development of Association members and advancing the educational status of Environmental Studies and Sciences programs. The Journal provides a peer-reviewed, academically rigorous and professionally recognized venue for the publication of explicitly interdisciplinary environmental research, policy analysis and advocacy, educational discourse and other related matters. Contributions are welcome from any discipline or combination of disciplines, any vocation or professional affiliation, any national, ethnic or cultural background. Articles may relate to any historical and global setting. These contributions should explicitly involve multi-disciplinary or trans-disciplinary aspects of environmental issues; and identify the way(s) in which the work will contribute to environmental research, policy making, advocacy, education, or related activities. The Journal provides several submission categories:Research and Theory (3000-6000 words): an article reporting the results of rigorous study to create new knowledge about or enhanced understanding of environmental issues. Such articles might involve (1) findings of formal research projects; (2) meta-analyses of the results from multiple studies; or (3) systematic analyses of two or more case studies. Articles may also explore new theoretical and conceptual matters relevant to interdisciplinary environmental study. Research Brief (< 3000 words): a shorter, concise description of current research or related activities relevant to the environment. Environmental Education (3000-5000 words): a contribution relating to any education venue and concerning inter-disciplinary environmental education, practice, and theory at the level of community colleges, undergraduate and graduate or professional education. Policy Analysis (<3000 words): an article that utilizes several different disciplines, occupations, or knowledge bases to address environmentally related public policy issues. Articles With Attitude (<3000 words): op/ed essays concerning issues and events related to environmental studies and science.  Essays should present a carefully reasoned and informed discussion with a point of view interesting and accessible to readers. Topics may involve any academic disciplines or discipline combinations, relate to contemporary or past environmental issues and events, and encourage discussion.Book Reviews and Review Articles (<6000 words): concise reviews of newly published books or more extended essays combining a review of several books with a discussion of issues raised by the collective publications. Special Issues and Symposia: a collection of related articles, or other materials relevant to environmental issues, edited by one or more authors who provide coherence by clarifying the importance and relationship among the materials. Proposals may involve whole Journal issues or portions of an issue. Letters (<1000 words): communications relating to significant issues for readers, which can concern previously published Journal material. Submissions are encouraged from individuals at all levels of professional development The Editorial Board includes a diverse range of scholars, policy practitioners, and persons from related professions whose expertise extends broadly across the sciences, social sciences, humanities, the professions, and other disciplines related to environmental study. Reviewers exemplify, as well, a regional and global diversity appropriate to the breadth of interdisciplinary environmental studies. The Journal's publisher is long experienced in producing a great variety of publications, reaching individuals and institutions globally. Rapid electronic review of submissions is assured by the use of Editorial Manager software. We encourage contributors unsure about the appropriateness of their manuscript for the Journal to send a title and abstract to the Editor-in-Chief (tonyros@ufl.edu) for initial evaluation.

【译文】《环境研究与科学杂志》是环境研究与科学协会（AESS）的官方出版物。跨学科的环境研究需要整合许多不同的科学和专业学科。AESS和该杂志为促进对耦合人-自然系统的研究的跨学科方法提供了论坛。AESS的主要目标是通过促进相关的教学、研究和服务，以及通过促进可能阻碍环境话语的传统学术学科之间的交流的边界，来鼓励这种进步。这一承诺还涉及支持协会成员的专业发展，并提高环境研究与科学项目的教育水平。该杂志为明确跨学科环境研究、政策分析、倡导、教育和其他相关事项的同行评审、学术严谨和职业认可的出版物提供了一个场所。欢迎来自任何学科或学科组合、任何职业或专业联系、任何国家、民族或文化背景的贡献。文章可以涉及任何历史和全球背景。这些贡献应明确涉及环境问题的多学科或跨学科方面；并确定工作将如何有助于环境研究、政策制定、倡导、教育或相关活动。该杂志提供几个投稿类别：研究理论与（3000-6000字）：一篇报告严谨研究结果的论文，旨在创造关于环境问题的新知识或增强对其的理解。这类文章可能涉及（1）正式研究项目的发现；（2）多个研究结果的元分析；（3）两个或更多案例研究的系统分析。文章还可以探讨与跨学科环境研究相关的新的理论和概念问题。研究简报（<3000字）：对当前与环境相关的或相关活动的简短、简洁描述。环境教育（3000-5000字）：与任何教育场所相关的贡献，涉及社区学院、本科和研究生或专业教育层面的跨学科环境教育、实践和理论。政策分析（<3000字）：利用多个不同学科、职业或知识库来处理与环境相关的公共政策问题的文章。有态度的文章（<3000字）：关于与环境研究和科学相关的问题和事件的社论文章。文章应提出一个经过仔细推理和有见地的讨论，其观点对读者来说既有趣又易于理解。主题可能涉及任何学术学科或学科组合，与当代或过去的环境问题相关，并鼓励讨论。书评和评论文章（<6000字）：对新出版书籍的简短评论或结合对几本书的评论和讨论集体出版物提出的问题的更广泛的论文。特别问题和专题：由一位或多位作者编辑的相关文章或其他与环境问题相关的材料集合，这些作者通过阐明材料的重要性及其相互关系来提供一致性。提案可能涉及整个杂志问题或问题的一部分。信件（<1000字）：与读者关心的重大问题相关的通信，可以涉及以前发表的杂志材料。鼓励所有专业发展阶段的个人投稿。编委会包括来自科学、社会科学、人文学科、职业和其他与环境研究相关的学科的学者、政策实践者和相关职业的人员，其专业知识广泛。审稿人也是区域和全球多样性，适合跨学科环境研究的广度。该杂志的出版商在制作各种出版物方面经验丰富，触及全球的个人和机构。通过使用编辑管理软件确保快速电子审稿。
