Ecosystem Services (Elsevier) is open to receive proposals for new innovative Special Issues. Ecosystem Services is a high rank journal, among the 15 best in environmental sciences (6.1 impact factor 2023), ranked Q1. Our position gives high visibility to the articles we publish.
Special Issues are articles collections (12 or more) that share well-defined, scientifically innovative and coherent aims and scope. For an overview of present and past SI please visit the journal's webpage.
If you are interested in proposing an appealing and high-quality topic for a special issue in Ecosystem Services journal, please send to me a one-page description of the SI aims and scope, including the team of guest editors (3-5). We will carefully assess the proposal in terms of scientific quality and aims and scope. The scope has to be clear around a framing conceptual outlining that gathers together an article collection with sufficient coherence.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Thank you for the information. It’s great to know that Ecosystem Services is open to new Special Issue proposals. Given the journal’s high ranking and visibility, it could be an excellent platform for showcasing innovative research. If you are looking for potential contributors or collaborators, I’d be happy to discuss ideas related to heavy metal remediation, green chemistry, or any of the topics I’m currently exploring.
Dear Sir,
Thanks for the proposal but I am short of funding and Article publishing charge is too high
Thank you for the proposal. Is there any reduction in the publishing costs?
Ecosystem Services is a hybrid journal. That means we publish subscription articles, for which authors do not pay anything and open-access (OA) articles, for which authors have to pay the OA fee. Authors decide in which format they want to publish, but only once the manuscript has been accepted (never before). This is the standard of high-rank journals.
The 'microalgal community in soil ecosystems' presents an excellent topic for a special issue in the journal. Despite their significant contributions to ecosystem services, algae are often undervalued. Algae from extreme environments are recognized for their unique metabolites, which are highly sought after in industry. Given that soil can serve as an extreme environment for algae, exploring the diversity of these organisms in various soils could offer valuable industrial applications. Therefore, the special issue of microalgae in soils can include research on diversity, ecology, and economic applications of soil algae.
Good afternoon!
It is a great offer. Let me know about the final number name suggestion, please!
Thank you for the offer and the explanations about publications procedures.
Publication /processing fees are too high and my organization does not pay for fees.
