STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced the launch of a new journal - Geoderma Regional.
Geoderma Regional welcomes both original research articles and reviews on every aspect of soil science. The journal will focus specifically on regional studies. In the meantime its mother journal, Geoderma, will continue to focus on soil science on a global scale.
Geoderma Regional follows an article-based publishing model, allowing for immediate publication of the final version of a paper without waiting for other articles to be compiled into a full issue.
The first published articles are expected to become available for access online on ScienceDirect in June.
