Close Journal of Mountain Science aims to enhance international academic exchange on mountain research, to speed up the integration of theoretical results and technical methods of mountain research into different countries, and to promote the development and progress of all the disciplines of mountain science. It also bears the mission of introducing the mountain research achievements of the developing countries to the world scene.
The Journal is devoted to mountains and their surrounding lowlands - ecoregions of particular global importance, with a particular emphasis on the Tibetan Plateau and its adjacent high mountains, the Himalayas.
The publication mainly publishes stringently peer-reviewed academic and technical papers concerning environmental changes and sustainable development in mountain areas under natural conditions or / and with the influence of human activities.
The coverage generally includes interaction between mountain environmental change and human activities, degradation and restoration of mountain ecosystem, dynamics of debris flows, landslides and soil erosion in mountain areas, watershed management and development, protection on indigenous resources, cultural diversity and wealth, and investigation or standpoint in local economic or socio-cultural issues.
It particularly welcomes the papers on new concepts and new methods deriving from disciplinary, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research, as well as the papers raising key issues and book reviews. Papers, which emphasize the application of new technologies, such as GIS and remote sensing, in mountain research and development are especially welcome.
The Journal offers:
Fast publication times, from submission to first decision within 60 days, from submission to peer-review result within 3 months, and from submission to final acceptance within half a year
