About the journal
Since 1972, AMBIO has brought international perspective to important developments in environmental research and policy
This multidisciplinary English language journal puts into perspective significant developments in environmental research, policy and related activities, for an international readership of specialists, generalists, students, decision-makers and interested laymen.
Founded in 1972, the year of the first UN Conference on the Environment, AMBIO addresses the scientific, social, economic, and cultural factors that influence the condition of the human environment.
The broad scope of coverage extends to ecology, environmental economics, geology, geochemistry, geophysics, paleontology, hydrology, water resources, oceanography, earth sciences, meteorology, and physical geography.
AMBIO is widely recognized as an important international forum for debate.

TYPES OF PAPERS
Types of papers published in Ambio fall into four main categories. Word counts include
text, references, figures and tables. Each figure or table should be considered equal to
300 words.
1. Report (Original Research)
Reports should present the results of current environmental research. A Report must be
an original piece of work, devoted to new findings and results. The subject should be
clearly introduced with non-specialists in mind. Reports can be up to 6000 words
including up to 5 Figures and 3 Tables. Reports should be organized as follows: Abstract,
Keywords, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusion,
Acknowledgments, References and Author biography.
2. Review Paper
Review Papers should summarize and examine in depth one or more important aspects
of an environmental subject of current significance. A Review Paper should review and

papers can be up to 9000 words including up to 5 Figures and 4 Tables. All review
papers should, in addition to the main text, include Abstract, Keywords and Author
biography.

PEER REVIEW
All Reports and Review Papers are peer reviewed by at least two reviewers. The author
