BioOne, US, a web-based aggregator of research in biological, ecological and environmental sciences, and Dartmouth have announced the forthcoming launch of Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene, a new open-access publishing programme.
Elementa was created through a collaboration among BioOne, Dartmouth, and several other leading research universities, and will publish original research that will report new knowledge of the Earth's physical, chemical, and biological systems during this era of human impacts. Elementa will publish contributions that explore feedbacks between human and natural systems, and steps that can be taken to ameliorate harmful changes.
First articles are scheduled to appear in July 2013. Elementa will attract reports of fundamental advancements in research organised initially into six domains - Atmospheric Science, Earth and Environmental Science, Ecology, Ocean Science, Sustainable Engineering and Sustainability Sciences. Each knowledge domain will be led by its own Editor-in-Chief, who will soon be joined by an international team of prominent Associate Editors.
Elementa will be published by BioOne with production services at the Dartmouth College Library.
