Reviews in Environmental Science and Bio/Technology

期刊简介：The areas of environmental science and environmental (bio)technology are broad, multidisciplinary, fast growing and extremely active. During the last few decades, an overwhelming amount of data has become available and a panoply of discoveries has been made. It is almost impossible to keep up to date on current developments in these areas. Moreover, there is a definite need to extract the quintessence out of this information, to synthesise the research progress and to identify the achieved advances in science and technology. This is the rationale behind the journal Reviews in Environmental Science and Bio/Technology.The journal has two distinct peer-reviewed sections: a section containing mini-reviews (up to 8 printed pages), expressing scientific opinions on topics and trends as well as a Reviews section (up to 30 printed pages) containing comprehensive critical evaluations of research efforts and technical realizations in particular areas. In addition to (mini-)review papers, the journal reports on newly initiated research projects in a distinct Project Update and Science Career section, focusing on initiatives from large research consortia and young researchers, respectively. The horizon paper, SWITCH monitor and Stockholm Water Perspectives sections provide research and policy-oriented commentaries from world renowned leaders in environmental science and (bio)technology research. The Web Alert section hints readers on key websites, whereas the Symposium Watch section updates them on the most recent developments in the field presented on international workshops, seminars and symposia. The journal also features special issues focusing on topics of international concern.

【译文】环境科学和环境（生物）技术领域广泛，多学科交叉，发展迅速且活动频繁。在过去几十年里，大量数据变得可用，并且有许多发现。跟上这些领域的最新发展几乎是不可能的。此外，从这些信息中提取精华、综合研究进展以及确定科学技术所取得的进步是明确的需求。这就是《环境科学和生物/技术评论》杂志的出发点。该杂志有两个独特的同行评审部分：一个包含迷你综述的部分（最多8页印刷版），表达对主题和趋势的科学观点，以及一个综述部分（最多30页印刷版），包含对特定领域研究努力和技术实现的全面批判性评估。除了（迷你）综述论文外，该杂志还报道了新启动的研究项目，在项目更新和科学职业部分分别关注大型研究联盟和年轻研究者的倡议。地平线论文、SWITCH监控和斯德哥尔摩水视角部分提供来自世界著名的环境科学和（生物）技术研究领导者的研究和政策导向评论。网络警报部分向读者提示关键网站，而研讨会观察部分则更新他们在国际研讨会、研讨会和专题讨论会上所展示的领域的最新发展。该杂志还设有特别问题，重点关注国际关注的话题。
