Freshwater Reviews is a scientific journal dedicated to providing comprehensive, modern reviews of topics in the freshwater sciences. It is published by the Freshwater Biological Association and is aimed at a wide, international audience including academics, practitioners, administrators, teachers and students. Freshwater Reviews is an ‘online first’ journal, publishing articles online as they are accepted, and then in two, full colour, high quality print issues (bi-annually).
Freshwater Reviews Update
In 2008, the Freshwater Biological Association (FBA) launched its new journal Freshwater Reviews. The new journal, edited by Professor Colin S. Reynolds, aims to provide authoritative and timely reviews on a wide range of topics in the freshwater sciences to a broad audience including academics, students, practitioners and teachers.
The first full volume of Freshwater Reviews was completed in December 2008, with articles published online first, and then two print issues compiled in March and December 2008. In total, 12 articles and three book reviews contributed to the first volume with authors hailing from Belgium, Hungary, Italy, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the UK. The full table of contents can be found below.
Contributed reviews are invited and may cover any topic within freshwater sciences and their application. Submissions should be made via the website. If you wish to discuss a submission please contact the Editor, Professor Colin S. Reynolds at creynolds@fba.org.uk.
