Canadian Science Publishing (CSP) has signed an agreement with East China Normal University (ECNU) as the first official step in launching both a new international partnership and a new open access international journal, Anthropocene Coasts. This peer-reviewed international journal will explore multidisciplinary studies on the regime shift in response to concentrated human activities in the world estuarine and coastal regions.
As the first global journal published in partnership between Canada and China on this topic, Anthropocene Coasts focuses on the rapidly changing nature of human influence on coastal areas and climate change, topics of great importance for Canada, China and other coastal regions. The international partnership also reflects the global nature of the Anthropocene, as coastal regions all over the world are grappling with the physical, chemical, biological and anthropogenic processes. The journal will be jointly co-owned by CSP and ECNU.
The journal will be led by founding Co-Editor, Dr. Shu Gao, Director of the State Key Laboratory for Estuarine and Coastal Research at ECNU. An international Co-Editor will be joining Dr. Gao, further solidifying the international research and connection of the journal.
The journal will be hosted as part of CSP’s state-of-the-art journal platform and will benefit from CSP's long-standing reputation for editorial excellence and rigorous peer review. Anthropocene Coasts will begin accepting submissions in spring 2017 and will be waiving author processing charges for an introductory period. The journal will benefit from an established worldwide reach as well as advanced tools and services for promoting published papers. Anthropocene Coasts will provide a high-quality publication forum for a global population of researchers.
