Scope

• Scope: a highly regarded international journal in the environmental sciences, it offers publication to authors researching advanced topics in the chemistry of the environment across air, water, earth and biota, including the behaviour and impacts of contaminants and other anthropogenic disturbances.学科定位： 期刊为环境科学领域备受推崇的国际刊物，为研究环境——大气、水体、土壤与生物——化学中前沿课题的作者提供发表机会，关注污染物及其他人为扰动的行为与影响。
• Subject coverage: it spans atmospheric chemistry, bio- and geochemistry, climate change, marine chemistry, water chemistry, polar chemistry, fire chemistry, astrochemistry, soil and sediment chemistry and chemical toxicology.收录主题： 覆盖大气化学、（生物）地球化学、气候变化、海洋化学、水化学、极地化学、火灾化学、天体化学、土壤与沉积物化学以及化学毒理学等方向。
• Editorial orientation: the journal publishes papers reporting chemistry that enhances the understanding of the natural and engineered environment, carrying research papers and reviews side by side.办刊取向： 期刊刊载增进对自然环境与工程环境理解的化学研究，论文与研究评述并重。
• Publishing model: the journal is hybrid, subscription-based with open access options available.出版模式： 期刊为混合型，订阅出版并提供开放获取选项。
• Indexing and metrics: indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded, the journal sits in the third and fourth quartiles of analytical chemistry and environmental sciences, with a 2025 impact factor of 1.8.收录与指标： 被科学引文索引扩展版收录，在分析化学与环境科学类别中列第三、第四区，2025 年影响因子为 1.8。^[2]

History

• Founded in 2004: the journal was launched in 2004 and is wholly owned and published by CSIRO Publishing in Melbourne.2004年创刊： 期刊于 2004 年创刊，由墨尔本的 CSIRO Publishing 全资拥有并出版。
• Background to the founding: the publishing arm of Australia's national science agency set up the title as environmental chemistry gathered steam as a cross-cutting discipline.创刊背景： 澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织的出版机构看好环境化学交叉生长的态势，为这一方向设立专门刊物。
• Early editorship: Kevin Francesconi led the editorial office in the early years and later reflected on that period in the publisher's blog.早期编辑： 期刊早期由 Kevin Francesconi 主持编务，他后来在出版方博客中回顾了办刊历程。^[3]
• Recent metrics: the impact factor stood at 1.91 in 2019, 4.3 in 2022 and 1.8 in 2025.近年指标： 影响因子 2019 年为 1.91，2022 年为 4.3，2025 年为 1.8。
• Frequency: the journal appears eight times a year.刊期： 期刊每年出版 8 期。

Editors

• Editor-in-chief: the journal is led by Professor Jamie Lead, a scholar of environmental nanoscience and risk, listed by the publisher's board profile with the University of South Carolina in the United States.现任主编： 主编为 Jamie Lead 教授，环境纳米科学与风险方向学者，据出版方编委介绍任职于美国南卡罗来纳大学。
• Editorial background: Lead has long worked on the environmental uses and risks of nanotechnology and founded a national facility for environmental nanoscience analysis and characterisation.主编背景： Lead 长期研究纳米技术在环境中的应用与风险，曾创办环境纳米科学分析表征国家设施。
• Editorial board: the board gathers scholars across the branches of environmental chemistry and works with authors and reviewers worldwide.编委构成： 编委会由环境化学各分支学者组成，并向全球作者与审稿人开放协作。^[4]
• Submission and peer review: manuscripts are lodged through the ScholarOne system and undergo peer review.投稿与评审： 稿件经 ScholarOne 在线系统递交，接受同行评审。
• Editorial policy: the journal prizes chemistry that explains environmental problems, encouraging methodological innovation and comparison across environmental compartments.编辑方针： 期刊强调化学研究对环境问题的解释力，鼓励方法创新与跨介质比较。
