[RegCNET] Climate Research

[FILIPPO GIORGI]

Dear RegcNETers

I just wanted to let you know that I have become one of the Editors of the 
journal Climate Research. In the last few years the journal has had some 
problems and the Impact Factor dropped. However, in order to revive it the 
whole editorial board was changed and it now includes some excellent 
people.

The Journal is devoted to interdisciplinary research related to climate, 
climate change, impacts, adaptation, effects of human activities on 
climate (e.g. aerosols, land-use change), extremes etc. Traditionally, for 
example, it published many downscaling papers, in particular as they look 
at impact applications. Now the board has decided to enhance the 
climate/climate modeling component of the Juornal and in fact I think this 
can be an excellent vehicle for Regional modeling, downscaling, impact 
applications of various types, human effects on climate etc. The journal 
is free of charge and another attractive policy is to have a relatively 
quick publication process, including early on-line and open access 
publication (I think this with some small charge). We hope to make of this 
journal an important one in the next years.

All this to encourage you to consider Climate Research as a suitable 
journal for submitting your papers,

best regards to all,   Filippo Giorgi
