Publisher John Wiley and Sons, Inc., and the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) have announced the launch of a new short-format, open access publication, Limnology and Oceanography Letters.
Limnology and Oceanography Letters (L&O Letters) is a short-format, peer-reviewed journal that aims to integrate two branches of aquatic science—freshwater and ocean research. L&O Letters is the first short-format publication to feature aquatic research and plans to publish letters, essays, and current evidence articles. Articles will be relevant to the entire aquatic science community, appealing to researchers across the wide-ranging field.
The journal joins ASLO's portfolio of journals, including the highly ranked Limnology and Oceanography and Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, and ASLO intends to uphold their high standards of quality, transparency, and rigor with the new title.
Dr. Patricia Soranno, a professor in the Michigan State University Department of Fisheries and Wildlife and a co-director of the Landscape Limnology Research Group, will serve as the editor-in-chief of L&O Letters.
In addition to Dr. Soranno, L&O Letters has a diverse editorial board that spans disciplines, demography, and geography to fully represent the global aquatic science community. The board strives for transparent, inclusive, and fair practices.
All articles in L&O Letters will be published under the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license on Wiley Online Library. Authors with open access mandates from funders will be fully compliant when publishing with this journal. A publication fee will be payable by authors on acceptance of their articles. Authors affiliated with, or funded by, an organisation that has a Wiley Open Access Account can publish without directly paying any publication charges.
The journal is open to submissions now and plans to publish the first issue online in Summer 2016.
