ANNOUNCEMENT
CNARC member: Polar Research Institute of China (PRIC)
Eleven “Opinion Editorials” were published since its introduction
Opinion Editorials (Op-Ed) was introduced in 2017 as a new category, and is attracting the attention of the international polar community. One scientist from School of Environment, Education and Development, the University of Mancheste gave the comments that this is a most welcome initiative.
Op-Ed can be a statement of the opinion of a named author or authors, with a maximum of 1500 words (a maximum length of 2 printed pages). It will provide a forum for comment on the status and/or deficiencies on any aspect of polar science, reflect on recent innovation or progress, promote internationally collaborative polar science projects, etc. It will be directly reviewed by EICs with final decision without peer review by expert referrers. Up to now, eleven Op-Eds have already been published on APS.
