Environmental Chemistry (journal)
Encyclopedia
Environmental Chemistry - Environmental problems, chemical approaches - is a peer-reviewed scientific journal
publishing original research and review articles on all aspects of environmental chemistry
. The Journal publishes manuscripts addressing the chemistry of the environment (air, water, soil, sediments, space, and biota) including atmospheric chemistry
, (bio)geochemistry
, climate change
, marine chemistry, water chemistry, polar chemistry, fire chemistry, astrochemistry
, earth and geochemistry, soil and sediment chemistry and chemical toxicology.
Papers are written in a style that is accessible to those outside the field, as the readership will include chemists, biologists, toxicologists, soil scientists, and workers from government and industrial institutions. The journal also publishes essays and opinion pieces on issues of importance to environmental scientists, such as policy and funding.
Environmental Chemistry is published monthly by CSIRO Publishing, an independent business unit within the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation
(CSIRO).The journal is supported by the Royal Australian Chemical Institute
.
The editor-in-chief is Alison Green. According to the Journal Citation Reports
, the journal has a 2009 impact factor
of 1.850.
Scientific journal
In academic publishing, a scientific journal is a periodical publication intended to further the progress of science, usually by reporting new research. There are thousands of scientific journals in publication, and many more have been published at various points in the past...

Environmental chemistry
Environmental chemistry is the scientific study of the chemical and biochemical phenomena that occur in natural places. It should not be confused with green chemistry, which seeks to reduce potential pollution at its source...

Atmospheric chemistry
Atmospheric chemistry is a branch of atmospheric science in which the chemistry of the Earth's atmosphere and that of other planets is studied. It is a multidisciplinary field of research and draws on environmental chemistry, physics, meteorology, computer modeling, oceanography, geology and...
, (bio)geochemistry
Geochemistry
The field of geochemistry involves study of the chemical composition of the Earth and other planets, chemical processes and reactions that govern the composition of rocks, water, and soils, and the cycles of matter and energy that transport the Earth's chemical components in time and space, and...
, climate change
Climate change
Climate change is a significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It may be a change in average weather conditions or the distribution of events around that average...

Astrochemistry
Astrochemistry is the study of the abundance and reactions of chemical elements and molecules in the universe, and their interaction with radiation. The discipline is an overlap of astronomy and chemistry. The word "astrochemistry" may be applied to both the Solar System and the interstellar medium...

Impact factor
The impact factor, often abbreviated IF, is a measure reflecting the average number of citations to articles published in science and social science journals. It is frequently used as a proxy for the relative importance of a journal within its field, with journals with higher impact factors deemed...
