Anthropocene Coasts has also been selected for the High-Starting New Journal Project of the Second Phase of the “Excellence Action Plan of China Scientific, Technical and Medical Journals”, and included in the Journal Citation Reports by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Anthropocene Coasts, as the flagship academic journal of Future Earth Coasts (FEC), publishes the following paper types:
Articles — Studies of broad scope that report new and original research with international significance;
Reviews — Critical syntheses of information on important topics;
Topical Communications — New concepts, techniques, methodologies, projects or commentaries on topical subjects, matters for debate, or to highlight uncertainties or knowledge gaps. Length should not exceed 3500 words;
Letters — Short reports of original research focused on specific findings of interest to the wider community (length should not exceed 1500 words); and
Book reviews — Short review of recently published books or open access reports that are likely to be of interest to the coastal community, with a length of up to 1500 words.
Note: Manuscripts should be as comprehensive as possible. Data supporting the results should be provided directly in the paper, included in the associated supplemental materials, or archived in an appropriate public archive.
Submissions that do not have a clear human or multidisciplinary component are more suited to one of the existing discipline-based journals and are unlikely to be considered for publication. (Please refer to “Anthropocene Coasts: 5 years on”.)
