EJSS is published six times each year, with approximately 130 papers published. In 2020, the impact factor was 4.949 (3.742, 2019; a 32% increase).
Soil Use and Management (SUM)
Soil Use and Management (SUM) publishes in soil science, earth and environmental science, agricultural science, and engineering fields. The submitted papers should consider the underlying mechanisms governing the natural and anthropogenic processes which affect soil systems, and should inform policy makers and/or practitioners on the sustainable use and management of soil resources. Interdisciplinary studies, e.g. linking soil with climate change, biodiversity, global health, and the UN’s sustainable development goals, with strong novelty, wide implications, and unexpected outcomes are welcomed.
SUM is published four times each year, with approximately 80 papers published. In 2020, the impact factor was 2.950 (1.690, 2019; a 75% increase).
