1. Aims and Scope

Journal

of Mountain Science (JMS) is devoted to mountains and their surrounding

lowlands - ecoregions of particular global importance, with a

particular emphasis on the important highlands/ mountains in the world,

such as the Tibetan Plateau, the Himalayas,the Alps, the Andes, the

Rockies and many other mountain ranges of our planet.

This

journal pays particular attention to the relationships between mountain

environment changes and human activities, including the processes,

characteristics and restoration of mountain ecosystem degradation;

dynamic processes, and the theory and methods of controlling mountain

hazards, such as debris, landslides and soil erosion; key scientific

issues involved in large project construction in the mountain areas; the

protection and development of special mountain resources; culture

diversity and local economic development in mountain regions; and ethnic

issues and social welfare in mountain areas.

We

especially welcome papers which emphasize the application of new

technologies in mountain research and development, and the papers on new

concepts and new methods deriving from disciplinary, interdisciplinary

and transdisciplinary research in mountains.

2. Article Categories

All

articles are assigned a type, depending on the content of the article.

Editors have the final say on which type should be assigned to an

accepted article.

1. Original Article

Original

Articles are academic papers that display universal, strategic and

innovative characteristics in both theory and practice. The work should

report scientifically sound experiments and provide a substantial amount

of new information. The article should include the most recent and

relevant references in the field. The structure should include an

Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results,

Discussion, and Conclusions sections, with a suggested minimum word

count of 4000 words.

2. Review

Review

papers are high scholarly contributions articles written by experts who

not only know very well the research and technical developments in the

field but also are able to critically examine the state-of-the-art and

express informed views and provide guidance/ideas of future developments

of the research topic.

If you are considering writing a review paper, please take into consideration the following:

Potential

authors should contact the Executive Editor-in-Chief (EEIC) to ensure

the proposed review article is within the current aims and scope of the

journal.

Potential

authors should provide: (i) the title of the review paper; (ii) a

detailed reason why, in the light of the state of the art, the review is

needed; (iii) a brief description of the contents of the paper

including, chapter titles.

The

EEIC will evaluate the proposal and contact the authors with a decision

on the matter. If the authors are invited to submit a full review

paper, some preliminary feedback will be provided.

3. Technical Reports

Research/technologies/case

studies/practices which will contribute to the disaster risk reduction

of geohazards, or eco-restoration of degraded mountain environment other

than the previous two categories. The structure is similar to an

article but permits a higher degree of flexibility. The suggested

minimum word count is 3500 words.

4. Communication

Communications

are short articles that present groundbreaking preliminary results or

significant findings that are part of a larger study over multiple

years. They can also include cutting-edge methods or experiments, and

the development of new technology or materials. The structure is similar

to an article and there is a suggested minimum word count of 2000

words.

5. Perspective

Perspectives

are usually an invited type of article that showcase current

developments in a specific field. Emphasis is placed on future

directions of the field and on the personal assessment of the author.

Comments should be situated in the context of existing literature from

the previous 3 years. The structure is similar to a review, with a

suggested minimum word count of 3500 words.

6. Opinion

Opinions

are short articles that reflect the author’s viewpoints on a particular

subject,technique, or recent findings. They should highlight the

strengths and weaknesses of the topic presented in the opinion. The

structure is similar to a review; however, they are significantly

shorter and focused on the author’s view rather than a comprehensive,

critical review. The suggested minimum word count is 2000 words.

7. Conference Report

Conference

reports are records of the events of a conference, seminar, or meeting.

They should provide a comprehensive overview of a meeting or session,

along with relevant background information for the reader. The structure

should contain Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Conference Sections,

and Concluding Remarks, with a suggested minimum word count of 2500

words. They can also include all accepted meeting abstracts.

8. Project Report

Project reports are short and/or rapid announcements of project results and implications.

They

should include a research strategy or approach, the activities,

technologies, and details of the project undertaken, conclusions, and

recommendations for the future direction of work in the field. The

structure is similar to an article, but permits a higher degree of

flexibility. The suggested minimum word count is 3500 words.

9. Book Review

Book

reviews are short literary criticisms analyzing the content, style, and

merit of a recently published book. Full book details should be

provided at the beginning of the article. The structure should only

include an Introduction and be a discussion of critical points with no

sections or conclusions, with a suggested minimum word count of 500

words.

All

published items will be assigned a digital object identifier (DOI) and

be citable, and posters, videos, or PPT presentations can be published

together as the Supplementary Materials.
