REVIEWS IN ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND BIO-TECHNOLOGY

环境科学和环境(生物)技术领域广泛、多学科、发展迅速、极其活跃。在过去的二十年里，我们看到了大量的数据积累和一系列重要的发现。要了解这些领域目前的发展情况几乎是不可能的，更不用说判断它们的长期意义了。环境科学和生物/技术综述的目的有两方面:让读者了解在环境科学和生物技术的多学科和迅速扩大的领域中取得的最新进展，并就这些发展将走向何方提供观点。该杂志由两个不同的同行评审部分组成:一个提供关于主题和趋势的科学观点的小型评审，另一个提供对特定领域的研究工作和技术实现的全面批判性评价(评审)。除了这两个部分之外，该杂志还将出版研究和面向政策的评论、关于新发起的研究项目的资料、主要网站、在国际讲习班、研讨会和专题讨论会上介绍的该领域的最新发展以及青年研究人员(科学职业)的倡议。《环境科学与生物/技术评论》接受电子多媒体文件(动画、电影、音频等)和其他补充文件，连同一篇文章一起在线发布。这个特性可以为作者的文章增加维度，因为某些信息不能打印，或者以电子形式更方便。

The areas of environmental science and environmental (bio)technology are broad, multidisciplinary, fast growing and extremely active. The last twenty years have seen an overwhelming accumulation of data, and a panoply of important discoveries. It is almost impossible to keep up to date on current developments in these areas, let alone judge their long-term significance.The purpose of Reviews in Environmental Science and Bio/Technology is twofold: to keep the reader up-to-date on achieved advances in the multidisciplinary and rapidly expanding fields of environmental science and biotechnology, and to offer perspectives on where these developments will lead.The journal comprises of two distinct peer-reviewed sections: one offering Mini-Reviews expressing scientific opinions on topics and trends, and another presenting comprehensive critical evaluations (Reviews) of research efforts and technical realizations in particular areas. In addition to these two sections, the journal will publish research and policy-oriented commentaries, information on newly initiated research projects, key websites, recent developments in the field presented on international workshops, seminars and symposia, and initiatives from young researchers (science careers).Reviews in Environmental Science and Bio/Technology accepts electronic multimedia files (animations, movies, audio etc.) and other supplementary files to be published online along with an article. This feature can add dimension to the author's article as certain information cannot be printed or is more convenient in electronic form.
