IOP Publishing (IOPP) is launching a suite of new open access (OA) environmental journals, marking the creation of the Environmental Research series.

Environmental Research: Infrastructure and Sustainability (ERIS) is the first new title to launch as part of the series, joining IOPP’s established OA titles in the field −Environmental Research Letters (ERL) and Environmental Research Communications (ERC).

The Environmental Research series will grow throughout 2021 with the introduction of other sister titles that will collectively cover all major areas of environmental research. Delivering a suite of inter-connected publishing options, all the journals will be fully OA, enhance data transparency and be led by a dedicated Editorial Board to ensure rigorous peer review standards and editorial excellence.

ERIS, which is open for submissions now, is a multidisciplinary journal addressing important challenges relevant to every aspect of infrastructure development and sustainability. It will cover broad and inclusive perspectives at global, regional, national and local scales, including current and emerging issues wherever humanity’s influence extends to − from single products to networked systems.

At the helm is Editor-in-Chief Professor Arpad Horvath from the University of California’s Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. ERIS will also be guided by an Editorial Board composed of leaders in the field, bringing additional depth of knowledge as they work closely with an in-house editorial team to ensure editorial excellence and that the journal meets IOPP’s rigorous peer review standards.

The launch of the Environmental Research Series builds on IOPP’s family of established environmental journals. Launched in 2006, ERL was the first fully OA journal to cover the whole of environmental research. Highly recognised today, it publishes concise, high-impact original research Letters and comprehensive reviews that present important results from across the environmental spectrum. ERC was introduced in 2018, providing an inclusive platform for all types of high-quality research in all areas of environmental science, including negative results, null results and replication studies, provided they contribute to advancing knowledge in their field.

Full details about Environmental Research: Infrastructure and Sustainability can be found on the journal homepage.
