Journal Title：Estuaries And Coasts

Estuaries and Coasts is the journal of the Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation (CERF). Begun in 1977 as Chesapeake Science, the journal has gradually expanded its scope and circulation. Today, the journal publishes scholarly manuscripts on estuarine and near coastal ecosystems at the interface between the land and the sea where there are tidal fluctuations or sea water is diluted by fresh water. The interface is broadly defined to include estuaries and nearshore coastal waters including lagoons, wetlands, tidal fresh water, shores and beaches, but not the continental shelf. The journal covers research on physical, chemical, geological or biological processes, as well as applications to management of estuaries and coasts. The journal publishes original research findings, reviews and perspectives, techniques, comments, and management applications. Estuaries and Coasts will consider properly carried out studies that present inconclusive findings or document a failed replication of previously published work. Submissions that are primarily descriptive, strongly place-based, or only report on development of models or new methods without detailing their applications fall outside the scope of the journal.

《河口與海岸》是沿海和河口研究聯合會 (CERF) 的期刊。該期刊于 1977 年以《切薩皮克科學》為名創刊，其范圍和發行量逐漸擴大。如今，該期刊發表關于陸地和海洋交界處的河口和近海生態系統的學術手稿，這些交界處存在潮汐波動或海水被淡水稀釋。交界處的定義很廣，包括河口和近岸沿海水域，包括瀉湖、濕地、潮汐淡水、海岸和海灘，但不包括大陸架。該期刊涵蓋物理、化學、地質或生物過程的研究，以及對河口和海岸管理的應用。該期刊發表原創研究成果、評論和觀點、技術、評論和管理應用。《河口與海岸》將考慮正確開展的研究，這些研究呈現出不確定的結果或記錄了以前發表的工作的失敗復制。以描述為主、強烈基于地點或僅報告模型或新方法的開發而未詳細說明其應用的投稿不在本期刊的范圍內。

Estuaries And Coasts創刊于1978年，由Springer US出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋環境科學 - 海洋與淡水生物學全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 偏慢,12-24周 ，影響因子指數2.3，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
