New climate change journal
Rik Leemans’ new journal will provide an overview of the research.
There’s quite a tsunami of articles on climate change these days. With so much information, even the experts find it hard to see the wood for the trees. ‘There is a lot of news on all sorts of issues, but there is a lack of synthesis of the news', Leemans explains. ‘This will be a journal that doesn’t so much present new results as offer a synthesis of the available knowledge in articles of maximum four thousand words.’
