Environment: Science and Policy for Sustainable Development, commonly referred to as Environment magazine, is published bi-monthly in Philadelphia by Taylor & Francis. Environment is a hybrid, peer-reviewed, popular environmental science publication and website, aimed at a broad, "smart, but uninitiated" population. [2] Its Executive Editors are Susan L. Cutter (University of South Carolina), Ralph Hamann, Myanna Lahsen, Alan H. McGowan (The New School), Tim O'Riordan (University of East Anglia), and Linxiu Zhang.
Environment was founded in the late 1950s as Nuclear Information, a mimeographed newsletter published by Barry Commoner at the Center for the Biology of Natural Systems, at Washington University, in St. Louis, Missouri. [3] It was renamed Scientist and Citizen from 1964-1968. From 1973 it was published by the Scientist's Institute for Public Information (SIPI) chaired by Margaret Mead, and later by a small commercial publisher.
[4] Its full title, Environment: Science and Policy for Sustainable Development helps to distinguish it from other journals including Environments published by MDPI and The Environment published by the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM).
The journal has a Scopus citescore index of 0.89 in 2016, [5] giving it a ranking of 99th out of 183 journals listed in the category 'Water Science and Technology' and 76/128 in 'Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment'. These are relatively low because Scopus counts citations of articles in the journal in academic literature over the previous three years, and this journal is not a fully academic publication. Also, it is not available Open Access.
In the Web of Science, a more selective citation index also based on the previous three years citations, it has a score of 1.852 for 2016, placing it 46/105 in the category 'environmental studies' and 112/229 in 'Environmental Science'. [6]
Highly cited articles per year include:
Paul Ralph Ehrlich is an American biologist best known for his pessimistic—and wildly inaccurate—predictions and warnings about the consequences of population growth and limited resources.
Barry Commoner was an American cellular biologist, college professor, and politician. He was a leading ecologist and among the founders of the modern environmental movement. He was the director of the Center for Biology of Natural Systems and its Critical Genetics Project. He ran as the Citizens Party candidate in the 1980 U.S. presidential election. His work studying the radioactive fallout from nuclear weapons testing led to the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty of 1963.
The Soil Science Society of America (SSSA), is the largest soil-specific society in the United States. It was formed in 1936 from the merger of the Soils Section of the American Society of Agronomy and the American Soil Survey Association. The Soils Section of ASA became the official Americas section of the International Union of Soil Sciences in 1934, a notable role which SSSA continues to fulfill.
Energy & Environment is an academic journal "covering the direct and indirect environmental impacts of energy acquisition, transport, production and use". Under its editor-in-chief from 1998 to 2017, Sonja Boehmer-Christiansen, it was known for easygoing peer-review and publishing climate change denial papers. Yiu Fai Tsang became its editor-in-chief in May 2017.
Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences is an annual peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Annual Reviews, which broadly covers Earth and planetary sciences, including geology, atmospheric sciences, climate, geophysics, environmental science, geological hazards, geodynamics, planet formation, and solar system origins. The co-editors are Katherine H. Freeman and Raymond Jeanloz. As of 2022, Journal Citation Reports gives the journal a 2021 impact factor of 16.304.
Reproduction is a monthly peer-reviewed medical journal covering the cellular and molecular biology of reproduction, including the development of gametes and early embryos in all species; developmental processes such as cell differentiation, morphogenesis and related regulatory mechanisms in normal and disease models, assisted reproductive technologies in model systems and in a clinical environment, and reproductive endocrinology, immunology and physiology. Emerging topics including cloning, the biology of embryonic stem cells, environmental effects on reproductive potential and health, and epigenetic effects on reproductive and developmental processes are also covered. All editorial and review content is free to access from publication; research articles become available after 12 months.
