The Journal of Paleolimnology now formally recognises the work of Early Career Researchers (ECRs) *.
In 2019 the journal published 8 papers by ECRs covering a wide range of topics including application of new molecular techniques, taxonomy, and use of multi-proxy paleolimnological techniques to address issues of eutrophication, climate change and water-level variation, as well as lake evolution. The authors’ affiliations include USA, Canada, Europe and Central and South America.
The ECR papers will be listed on the journal’s website and made Free Access for a period of 8 weeks (from now) to highlight and increase visibility of these papers. Announcements will also be made through the IPA Facebook and Twitter pages and Paleolim-listserver. Please spread the news via your networks. Congratulations to our ECRs and we welcome more submissions from our young researchers.
