Environmental Research

Environmental Research (Environ. Res.) is an environmental science journal published by Elsevier. Founded in June 1967, it concentrates on the relation between environmental exposure and health effects, is run by five section editors-in-chief, appears twenty-four times a year, and had a 2025 impact factor of 8.2.《环境研究》（Environmental Research''''，缩写 Environ. Res.''）是爱思唯尔出版的环境科学刊物，1967 年 6 月创刊。该刊以环境暴露与健康效应的关系为主，按五个栏目分设共同主编，现为每年二十四期，二〇二五年影响因子为 8.2。

Scope

The journal's editorial stance is that environment and health must both be present: however complete the chemical or engineering work, a paper has to link an environmental process to a health effect. The editorial office lists topics it does not consider, including laboratory studies divorced from real environmental conditions, drug development and efficacy assessment, policy analysis without health effects, infectious disease studied without environmental factors, small-scale local risk assessment and bibliometric analysis. Coverage is organised in five sections:本刊的取稿立场是「环境与健康必须同时成立」：一篇论文不论化学或工程工作多么完整，都要把环境过程与健康效应连起来。编辑部明确列出不予考虑的题目，包括脱离自然环境现实的实验室条件研究、药物研发与疗效评价、不含健康效应的政策分析、不考虑环境因素的传染病、局部小规模风险评估以及文献计量分析。收文按五个栏目组织：

• Environmental chemistry and ecotoxicology: fate of pollutants in environmental media, chemical characterisation of environmental samples, ecotoxicological effects, and bioaccumulation and trophic transfer.环境化学与生态毒理学： 污染物在环境介质中的归趋、环境样品的化学表征、生态毒理效应、生物累积与食物链传递。

• Environmental epidemiology and population health: exposure-outcome studies, cohort and cross-sectional studies, susceptible populations and health disparities, and burden of disease assessment.环境流行病学与人群健康： 暴露与结局的关联研究、队列与横断面研究、易感人群与健康差异、疾病负担评价。

• Environmental materials technology: environmental functional materials, adsorbents and catalysts, sensing and detection materials, and the environmental behaviour and safety of materials.环境材料技术： 环境功能材料、吸附与催化材料、传感与检测材料、材料的环境行为与安全性。

• Environmental process technology: water and wastewater treatment, air pollution control, soil and groundwater remediation, and solid waste and resource recovery.环境过程技术： 水处理与废水处理、大气污染控制、土壤与地下水修复、固废与资源化技术。

• Toxicology: mechanisms of toxicity of xenobiotics, dose-response and risk assessment, in vivo and in vitro methods, and toxicity of mixtures and combined exposures.毒理学： 外源物的毒性机制、剂量反应与风险评估、体内外毒理方法、混合物与复合暴露毒性。

The journal is hybrid and the gold open access article processing charge is 4,280 US dollars. The publisher reports two days to first decision and 79 days to acceptance, the first-decision figure including editorial screening本刊为混合出版，金色开放获取的文章处理费为四千二百八十美元；出版方公布投稿至首次决定两天、投稿至接收七十九天，其中首次决定包含编辑部初筛，录用比例未公布；影响因子与引用分数在出版方页面的不同快照上另有 7.7 与 14.7 的旧值，属不同年度口径。 no acceptance rate is published. Earlier snapshots of the publisher's page give 7.7 for the impact factor and 14.7 for the CiteScore, which are figures for other years.^[1]

History

• Founding (1967): volume 1, issue 1 appeared in June 1967 under the present name, which has not changed. Neither the founder nor a founding rationale is recorded on the journal site.创刊（1967年）： 1967 年 6 月出版第 1 卷第 1 期，创刊即用现名，无改名；创刊人与创刊动因官网未予记载。^[2]

• Title variant (1998): from January 1998 issues additionally carried the designation Environmental research. Section A with a separate ISSN, reverting to the original title later. The ISSN Portal records this form as a title variant.题名变体（1998年）： 自 1998 年 1 月起，各期另标「环境研究·A辑」并单列 ISSN，其后恢复原题名；ISSN 门户将这一写法登记为题名变体。^[3]

• Frequency and scale: the journal ran at eight volumes a year from 2012 to 2018 and twelve from 2019 to 2020, and has appeared twenty-four times a year since 2023. It published volumes 264 to 287 in 2025 and is due to reach volume 300 in June 2026.刊期与体量： 本刊 2012 至 2018 年每年八卷，2019 至 2020 年每年十二卷，2023 年起每年二十四期；2025 年出版第 264 至 287 卷，2026 年 6 月将出版第 300 卷。^[4]

• Metrics and indexing: the impact factor is 8.2 and the CiteScore 16.5, the current values on the publisher's journal insights page. The journal is indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded, Scopus and MEDLINE.指标与收录： 影响因子 8.2、引用分数 16.5（出版方期刊指标页现值）；本刊被科学引文索引扩展版、Scopus 与 MEDLINE 收录。^[1]

Editors

The journal has no overall editor-in-chief but five section editors-in-chief, one per section, based in the United States, Spain, Singapore, Portugal and Norway. The arrangement matches the journal's organisation into five parallel sections. The publisher gives no year of appointment for any of them and publishes no list of past editors.本刊现不设全刊总主编，而由五名分栏目共同主编分别主持五个栏目，五人分处美国、西班牙、新加坡、葡萄牙与挪威，这一结构对应本刊「五个栏目并列」的编排方式；出版方未公布各人的就任年份，也未公布历史主编名单。^[5]

• Section editors-in-chief: Michel Boufadel of the New Jersey Institute of Technology, Payam Dadvand of ISGlobal in Barcelona, Grzegorz Lisak of Nanyang Technological University, Ana Rita Lado Ribeiro of the University of Porto and Johan Øvrevik of the Norwegian Institute of Public Health.分栏目共同主编： （Michel Boufadel）供职于新泽西理工学院；（Payam Dadvand）供职于西班牙巴塞罗那全球健康研究所；（Grzegorz Lisak）供职于南洋理工大学；（Ana Rita Lado Ribeiro）供职于波尔图大学；（Johan Øvrevik）供职于挪威公共卫生研究所。

• Past and founding editors: the publisher's site publishes no list of past editors and the founding editor is recorded as not published. A third-party database names Jose L. Domingo as a former editor, but the record has no official confirmation and is not adopted here.历任与首任： 出版方官网未公布历史主编名单，首任主编按未公布处理；第三方数据库记载前任主编为（Jose L. Domingo），但该记载未获官方确认，本稿不采用。

• Role in the field: the journal is among the largest titles at the intersection of environmental science and environmental health. Its explicit list of excluded topics is unusual among comparable journals, and the increase in frequency reflects rapid growth in submissions in environmental health.学科角色： 本刊是环境科学与环境健康交叉领域体量最大的刊物之一，其明确的拒稿清单在同类刊物中较为少见，刊期加密也反映出环境健康研究投稿量的快速增长。
