1. Aims and Scope
Journal of Mountain Science (JMS) is devoted to mountains and their surrounding lowlands - ecoregions of particular global importance, with a particular emphasis on the important highlands/ mountains in the world, such as the Tibetan Plateau, the Himalayas,the Alps, the Andes, the Rockies and many other mountain ranges of our planet.
This journal pays particular attention to the relationships between mountain environment changes and human activities, including the processes, characteristics and restoration of mountain ecosystem degradation; dynamic processes, and the theory and methods of controlling mountain hazards, such as debris, landslides and soil erosion; key scientific issues involved in large project construction in the mountain areas; the protection and development of special mountain resources; culture diversity and local economic development in mountain regions; and ethnic issues and social welfare in mountain areas.
We especially welcome papers which emphasize the application of new technologies in mountain research and development, and the papers on new concepts and new methods deriving from disciplinary, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research in mountains.
2. Article Categories
All articles are assigned a type, depending on the content of the article. Editors have the final say on which type should be assigned to an accepted article.
1. Original Article
Original Articles are academic papers that display universal, strategic and innovative characteristics in both theory and practice. The work should report scientifically sound experiments and provide a substantial amount of new information. The article should include the most recent and relevant references in the field. The structure should include an Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, and Conclusions sections, with a suggested minimum word count of 4000 words.
2. Review
Review papers are high scholarly contributions articles written by experts who not only know very well the research and technical developments in the field but also are able to critically examine the state-of-the-art and express informed views and provide guidance/ideas of future developments of the research topic.
If you are considering writing a review paper, please take into consideration the following:
Potential authors should contact the Executive Editor-in-Chief (EEIC) to ensure the proposed review article is within the current aims and scope of the journal.
Potential authors should provide: (i) the title of the review paper; (ii) a detailed reason why, in the light of the state of the art, the review is needed; (iii) a brief description of the contents of the paper including, chapter titles.
The EEIC will evaluate the proposal and contact the authors with a decision on the matter. If the authors are invited to submit a full review paper, some preliminary feedback will be provided.
3. Technical Reports
Research/technologies/case studies/practices which will contribute to the disaster risk reduction of geohazards, or eco-restoration of degraded mountain environment other than the previous two categories. The structure is similar to an article but permits a higher degree of flexibility. The suggested minimum word count is 3500 words.
4. Communication
Communications are short articles that present groundbreaking preliminary results or significant findings that are part of a larger study over multiple years. They can also include cutting-edge methods or experiments, and the development of new technology or materials. The structure is similar to an article and there is a suggested minimum word count of 2000 words.
5. Perspective
Perspectives are usually an invited type of article that showcase current developments in a specific field. Emphasis is placed on future directions of the field and on the personal assessment of the author. Comments should be situated in the context of existing literature from the previous 3 years. The structure is similar to a review, with a suggested minimum word count of 3500 words.
6. Opinion
Opinions are short articles that reflect the author’s viewpoints on a particular subject,technique, or recent findings. They should highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the topic presented in the opinion. The structure is similar to a review; however, they are significantly shorter and focused on the author’s view rather than a comprehensive, critical review. The suggested minimum word count is 2000 words.
7. Conference Report
Conference reports are records of the events of a conference, seminar, or meeting. They should provide a comprehensive overview of a meeting or session, along with relevant background information for the reader. The structure should contain Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Conference Sections, and Concluding Remarks, with a suggested minimum word count of 2500 words. They can also include all accepted meeting abstracts.
8. Project Report
Project reports are short and/or rapid announcements of project results and implications.
They should include a research strategy or approach, the activities, technologies, and details of the project undertaken, conclusions, and recommendations for the future direction of work in the field. The structure is similar to an article, but permits a higher degree of flexibility. The suggested minimum word count is 3500 words.
9. Book Review
Book reviews are short literary criticisms analyzing the content, style, and merit of a recently published book. Full book details should be provided at the beginning of the article. The structure should only include an Introduction and be a discussion of critical points with no sections or conclusions, with a suggested minimum word count of 500 words.
All published items will be assigned a digital object identifier (DOI) and be citable, and posters, videos, or PPT presentations can be published together as the Supplementary Materials.
