One Ecosystem

One Ecosystem is a peer-reviewed open access journal published by Pensoft Publishers in Sofia, devoted to ecology and sustainability as one connected field of evidence.《一个生态系统》是一本经同行评议的开放获取期刊，由设在保加利亚首都索非亚的 Pensoft Publishers 出版，把生态学与可持续性视为同一片证据领域。

Launched in 2016 with the subtitle "ecology and sustainability data journal", it treats datasets, models, methods, software and policy advice as publishable outputs in their own right.该刊创于 2016 年，副题名为「生态学与可持续性数据刊」，把数据集、模型、方法、软件与政策建议都列为可以独立发表的成果。

Scope

• The remit runs from biodiversity and habitat monitoring through the condition of ecosystems and the services they supply, to the accounting and planning decisions that follow from both.范围从生物多样性与生境监测起步，经生态系统状况及其提供的服务，一直延伸到由此产生的核算与规划决策。
• Submissions are weighed for reuse as much as for novelty, so a well documented dataset or a tested workflow can carry a paper without a new hypothesis behind it.评审既看新意，也看可复用程度，一份著录周全的数据集或一套经过检验的工作流，即便背后没有新假设，也足以支撑一篇论文。
• The journal's account of its own remit lists data, models, methods, workflows, results, software, perspectives and policy recommendations among the contributions it welcomes.刊物对自身范围的说明把数据、模型、方法、工作流、结果、软件、观点与政策建议一并列入欢迎之列。
• Data papers hold a standing place, describing a dataset that is deposited, licensed and cited by its own DOI, and supplying the context a bare file cannot.数据论文占有常设位置，文章描述一份已经存档、授权并以独立 DOI 被引用的数据集，补上裸数据文件无法提供的背景。
• Software descriptions follow the same logic, recording what a tool does, how it was tested and where the code sits, so that an implementation becomes something a later paper can cite.软件说明沿用同一思路，交代工具做什么、如何测试、代码放在何处，一项实现由此成为后来的论文可以引用的对象。
• Review articles are asked to synthesise evidence across scales rather than restate a single project, which suits a field where local findings are constantly compared internationally.综述被要求跨尺度综合证据，而非复述单个项目，这契合一个地方性结论不断被拿到国际层面比较的领域。
• Opinion articles and policy briefs leave room for argument, and authors are expected to name the decision at stake instead of closing on a general call to action.观点文章与政策简报留出论证空间，作者需要点明所针对的具体决策，笼统的行动呼吁不足以收尾。
• Case studies bring local and regional work whose method and data can travel, a form that fits restoration projects, protected area planning and municipal green infrastructure.案例研究带来方法与数据可以迁移的地方性或区域性工作，这一体裁适合修复项目、保护地规划与城市绿色基础设施。
• Short formats have their own slot, since research posters, single-image publications and research introductions let a first result or one telling observation enter the record early.短篇体裁另有位置，研究海报、单图发表与研究简介让初步结果或一个说明问题的观察及早进入记录。
• The article list also covers monographs, editorials, communications and corrections, so an amendment becomes a citable item tied to the paper it changes.文章类型还覆盖专著、社论、通讯与更正，一处修订因此成为与被改论文相系的独立可引条目。
• The title points to a single frame, in which ecological change and the social decisions driving it are studied together instead of in separate literatures.刊名指向一个统一框架，生态变化与驱动它的社会决策放在一起研究，不分散到彼此隔绝的文献里。
• Because the underlying material travels with the text, a reader can rerun an analysis or lift a layer into another region, and that is the practical test the editors apply.底层材料随正文同行，读者可以重跑一次分析，或把某一图层搬到另一个区域，编辑部看重的正是这一步能否走通。
• Work at plot, landscape and continental scales is all admissible, and studies that tie a monitoring network to a reporting obligation sit close to the centre of the scope.样地、景观与大陆尺度的研究都在接收之列，把监测网络与报告义务接起来的稿件尤其贴近范围中心。

History

• Pensoft Publishers started the title in 2016 in Sofia, and the first volume carried six articles before the year closed.Pensoft Publishers 于 2016 年在索非亚创办该刊，第 1 卷在当年收官前收入 6 篇文章。
• The house had made its name on taxonomy titles such as ZooKeys and PhytoKeys, and One Ecosystem carried the same open access model into ecology and sustainability.这家出版机构以 ZooKeys、PhytoKeys 等分类学刊物立身，One Ecosystem 把同样的开放获取模式带进生态学与可持续性领域。
• Volume numbering has run one volume per calendar year without a gap, from volume 1 in 2016 to volume 11 in 2026.卷次按日历年推进，一卷一年，从 2016 年的第 1 卷到 2026 年的第 11 卷没有中断。
• There are no issue numbers at all, since each paper is registered under an article number of the eNNNNN form and joins the volume the moment it is ready.刊物完全不设期号，每篇论文以 e 开头的文章编号登记，排版完成即进入当年卷。
• Annual output has moved with the field's funding cycles, from six papers in 2016 to thirty-five in 2022 and twenty-six in 2025.年发文量随领域经费的起伏而变，2016 年为 6 篇，2022 年增至 35 篇，2025 年为 26 篇。
• Crossref holds 229 article records for the title, an average near twenty-one a year across the eleven volumes.Crossref 为这份刊物存有 229 条文章记录，十一卷平均每年约 21 篇。
• The journal is indexed in the Emerging Sources Citation Index, and its Journal Impact Factor has been tracked only since 2023, when it opened at 1.8 and then reached 1.9 for 2025.该刊收录于 Emerging Sources Citation Index，影响因子自 2023 年才有记录，首年为 1.8，2025 年为 1.9。
• In the 2025 release it stands 127th among 205 titles in Ecology and 318th among 395 in Environmental Sciences.2025 年版的排名为生态学类 205 种刊物中的第 127 位，环境科学类 395 种中的第 318 位。
• Citations counted for that release reached 473, a base that fits a journal of roughly two hundred papers with a cited half-life of five years.该版统计的累计被引为 473 次，与一份约两百篇论文、被引半衰期五年的刊物相称。
• Only an electronic ISSN exists, 2367-8194, so the print number left blank in some lists is blank because no print edition was ever issued.该刊只有电子 ISSN 2367-8194，某些清单里的印刷版号留空，原因是从未出过印刷版。
• The National Library of Medicine catalogues the title from 2016 with Sofia as the place of publication, and adds a note on ecology and sustainability data to the name.美国国家医学图书馆自 2016 年起著录该刊，出版地记为索非亚，并在刊名后附上「生态学与可持续性数据刊」的说明。
• Output is entirely gold open access, with every article free from the day it appears, and the Directory of Open Access Journals lists the title.全部产出走金色开放获取，文章自上线之日起免费阅读，《开放获取期刊目录》收录了该刊。
• Across eleven volumes the publisher has kept the name and the remit steady, adding article types as the field asked for them rather than renaming the journal.十一卷下来，出版方保持刊名与范围稳定，按领域的需求增设文章类型，刊名未再改动。
• Because there are no page ranges, a citation to the journal gives the volume and the article number, and later literature quotes the eleven volumes in that shape.由于没有连续页码，引用该刊时给出卷号与文章编号，后来的文献正是以这种形式标注这十一卷。
• Volume 11 opened in 2026 with 33 records already registered, a pace above the average of the decade before.第 11 卷在 2026 年开启，已登记 33 条记录，节奏快于此前十年的平均水平。

Editors

• Benjamin Burkhard of the Institute of Earth System Sciences at Leibniz Universität Hannover holds the editorship, and two deputies share the editorial load with him.主编为汉诺威莱布尼茨大学地球系统科学研究所的（Benjamin Burkhard），另有两位副主编与他共同分担编务。
• The masthead sits on the journal site, where the Editor-in-Chief and the subject editors are listed by name for each field the journal covers.编委名单登在刊物网站，主编与各学科责任编辑按领域分别列名。
• Handling editors send each manuscript to reviewers outside the authors' institutions, and the reports come back to the editor, who answers the authors.责任编辑把稿件送到作者所在机构之外的审稿人手里，意见回到编辑处，由编辑汇总后答复作者。
• A data paper is reviewed on two fronts at once, since referees look at the description and at the deposited dataset, its metadata, its licence and its identifiers.数据论文同时受两方面审查，审稿人既看说明文字，也看存档的数据集本身，包括元数据、许可与标识符。
• Authors register ORCID identifiers and funding details at submission, and both are carried into the public record with the article.作者在投稿时登记 ORCID 标识与资助信息，两者随文章一同进入公开记录。
• Every article appears under an open licence, so a figure, a table or a whole dataset can be reused in teaching and in later work with attribution.每篇文章都以开放许可发布，图表乃至整份数据集可以在教学中与后续研究里署名使用。
• Corrections and amendments are published as items with their own DOIs and linked back to the original, in place of quiet edits to the published file.更正与修订以独立条目发表，各自带 DOI 并回链原文，公开文件不会被悄悄改动。
• With no issues to fill, the office releases each accepted paper as production ends, and the current volume grows through the year.没有期号需要凑齐，编辑部在排版结束时即放出录用稿，当年卷在一年之中陆续增厚。
• Dates of receipt, acceptance and publication are printed with each paper, so the handling time of a manuscript can be read off the record.每篇论文都印出收稿、录用与出版日期，一份稿件的处理时长因此可以从记录上读出来。
• Joachim Maes of the European Commission and Davide Geneletti of the University of Trento serve as the two deputy editors, and the roster on the site can be filtered by subject and by region.欧洲委员会的（Joachim Maes）与特伦托大学的（Davide Geneletti）担任两位副主编，网站上的名单可以按学科与地区筛选。
• Scope decisions rest with the editors, while Pensoft handles production, hosting, DOI registration and the deposit of metadata downstream.范围判断由编辑部作出，排版、托管、DOI 注册与元数据缴存在下游由 Pensoft 承担。
