About the journal
Aims and scope
Aquatic Sciences ?/STRONG> Research Across Boundaries publishes original research, overviews, and reviews dealing with aquatic systems (both freshwater and marine systems) and their boundaries, including the impact of human activities on these systems. The coverage ranges from molecular-level mechanistic studies to investigations at the whole ecosystem scale. Aquatic Sciences publishes articles presenting research across disciplinary and environmental boundaries, including studies examining interactions among geological, microbial, biological, chemical, physical, hydrological, and societal processes, as well as studies assessing land-water, air-water, benthic-pelagic, river-ocean, lentic-lotic, and groundwater-surface water interactions.

Authorship
Submission of a manuscript implies
?that the work described has not been published before;
?that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere;
?that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities at the institution where the work has been carried out;
?that, if and when the manuscript is accepted for publication, the authors agree to automatically transfer the copyright to the publisher;
?that the manuscript will not be published elsewhere in any language without the consent of the copyright holder;
?that the manuscript should be written in English.
The Editorial Process
We use electronic forms of all articles during submission and typesetting.
Peer Review
All contributed and invited manuscripts are reviewed by respected scientists who assess the quality, significance and originality of the work, as well as the clarity of its presentation. The review process is rapid and rigorous. Our goal is to limit the time from submission to publication on the World Wide Web to six months. To ensure that Aquatic Sciences presents a broad coverage of the many fields within its scope, manuscripts are initially evaluated by the Editor-in-Chief to determine their suitability for publication in Aquatic Sciences.
Authors are requested to provide names and contact information (including address, phone and fax number as well as e-mail address) of three or four experts in the field as possible reviewers of their paper. Authors may also provide the names of persons whom they do not want to review their paper. The Editor-in-Chief will try to choose at least one of the reviewers from the author抯 list and to comply with any special requests.
Referees?comments will remain anonymous unless referees explicitly request to be named.
Authors will be notified of manuscript receipt and acceptance or rejection.
Types of Articles
Research Articles
These are contributed articles that should describe, interpret and discuss results of original research, ranging from mechanistic studies on a molecular basis to studies on an ecosystem scale. In the chapter 揇iscussion? the significance of the study to the field of aquatic sciences should be stressed. Aquatic Sciences welcomes manuscripts integrating field studies, laboratory work and mathematical modelling. Papers presenting new ideas and hypotheses, based on observations and first results, are included in Aquatic Sciences as well. These 揾ypothesis papers?also should describe the type of experiments needed to verify proposed hypotheses. Research articles should not be longer than 14 printed pages (see below, 揊ormat of Manuscripts?.
Overview and Review Articles
These are invited articles that should focus on cutting-edge research questions. Review articles should provide a synthesis of the state-of-the-art in a particular field incorporating cross-boundary research, whereas overview articles should discuss studies performed among several research groups and institutions or give an overview of one抯 own interdisciplinary research. Overview and review articles may be longer than 14 printed pages and do not to follow the general style of research articles (see below, 揊ormat of Manuscripts?. In addition to comprehensive overviews and reviews, Aquatic Sciences also publishes short critical reviews. These articles should articulate future directions in fields transcending traditional disciplines and approaches.
Water Policy Articles
These are invited articles that should present research at the interface of natural sciences, social sciences, and public policy. They should describe developments and suggest trends in the sustainable management of local and global water systems, and provide relevant information to policy makers and governments. Water policy articles may be longer than 14 printed pages and do not need to follow the general style of research articles (see below, 揊ormat of Manuscripts?.
General Structure of Articles
Research Articles: We suggest that these manuscripts include an 揂bstract? an 揑ntroduction? a 揗aterials and Methods?section, a 揜esults?section and 揇iscussion? The 揇iscussion?section should include the special mention of the significance of the work to the field of aquatic sciences. The 揜esults?and 揇iscussion?sections may be combined as 揜esults and Discussion? Each section may contain subsections. Deviation from this general style is permitted if it improves the clarity of presentation.
Overview or Review Articles, and Water Policy Articles: These articles should be organized in a different way than research articles. They are divided into sections and, if necessary, subsections, similarly to book chapters, however, without numbering the sections and subsections. An abstract is optional.
Format of Manuscripts
General Layout
All pages should be numbered consecutively (starting with 1 on the title page), including references, tables and figure legends. All text, including figure legends, tables and references, should be typed double spaced with a single font (Times New Roman is preferred).
Inadequate presentation may give grounds for immediate rejection.
The length of submitted manuscripts should not exceed 14 printed pages (equivalent to approximately 12?00 words). Word counts include text, references, figures, figure legends, acknowledgments and tables. To estimate the word equivalent of figures and tables, consider each equivalent to 300 words. Editors may allow longer papers on the basis of extraordinary significance and/or originality of content.
Title Page
On a separate title page, manuscripts must include a title as well as an abbreviated title, whereby only the first word, proper nouns and acronyms should be capitalized.
Below the title, please list the names (first name, middle name (initial(s)) and last name) as well as full postal addresses of authors, clearly indicating which address relates to which author. The author to whom correspondence is to be addressed should be indicated separately. To ensure rapid publication please indicate fax and/or e-mail number for fast communication.
Keywords
Please specify a maximum of six keywords that are suitable for incorporation into information retrieval systems and provide a running head (not longer than 50 characters including spaces).
Abstract
An abstract (one single paragraph, no more than 250 words) which enumerates the principal facts and conclusions should accompany each paper. It should be specific and clear without reference to the rest of the text, and should suit the requirements of abstracting services.
Figures and Tables
Figures and tables should be used only where they clarify or reduce the paper and must be referenced in the text. The same material should never be presented in both table and figure form; where the two are equal in clarity, the figure is preferable. Figures and tables should be numbered serially with Arabic numerals and provided with a concise, descriptive legend. Figure legends should be listed at the end of the typescript, starting with a separate sheet. Tables should be typed individually on separate sheets together with an explanatory legend.
Indicate in the margin of the manuscript where figures and tables are to be inserted. Figure lettering must be legible; letters at least 2 mm high in the desired final size are required.
Figures will usually be reduced to the size of one column (corresponding to 8.0 cm in width and 23 cm in height, including figure legend). Figures with component parts (e. g., Fig. 2A, Fig. 2B, etc.) may be included in one figure. Arrange the component parts vertically and not horizontally, if possible. Figures that are not suitable for reduction to 8.0 cm may be printed over two columns (corresponding to 16.5 cm in width and 23 cm in height, including the figure legend). lt is important to make axis labels, symbols and lines in figures sufficiently big and thick to allow for size reduction. After reduction, the final size of printed characters must not be smaller than 1.2 mm, and the final thickness of lines not less than 0.1 mm. For bar graphs, pie charts etc., use fill in patterns that can easily be distinguished from one another in non-coloured figures. Avoid gray scales. Electronic versions of your figures must be supplied.
For vector graphics, EPS is the preferred format. For bitmapped graphics, TIFF is the preferred format. The following resolutions are optimal:
?Line figures: 600-1200 dpi
?Photographs: 300 dpi
?Screen shots: leave as is
Colour figures can be submitted in the RGB colour system (reproduction will be charged). Font-related problems can be avoided by using one standard font as Times New Roman, Courier and Helvetica.
Coloured illustrations can be printed by special arrangements, at the author's expense.
References
The list of references should be given in strict alphabetic order. Only papers referred to in the text are allowed in the list of references.

Orders submitted thereafter are subject to considerably higher rates (prices for additional reprints can be obtained through the Publisher).
Web Publication
The complete journal Aquatic Sciences is published in electronic form on the World Wide Web and is accessible to all subscribers of Aquatic Sciences. Twelve months after the cover date of the printed issue, the electronic version of Aquatic Sciences is freely accessible to everybody, i. e. also to institutions and individuals who are not subscribers to Aquatic Sciences. The date on which a paper is posted on the Web will appear in the printed article in a line at the bottom of the first page, this date is to be considered the official date of publication.
Open Choice
In addition to the normal publication process (whereby an article is submitted to the journal and access to that article is granted to customers who have purchased a subscription), Open Choice now provides an alternative publishing option. An Open Choice article receives all benefits of a regular 搒ubscription-based?article, but in addition the full text is made available publicly through the journal抯 online platform SpringerLink immediately after publication.
To publish via Open Choice upon acceptance of your article, please complete the relevant order form and provide the required payment information; the order form will be sent to you by our production department together with the page proofs of your article. Payment must be received in full before publication or articles will be published as a regular subscription-model article. For further information please visit
http://www.birkhauser.ch/AS.
Online First
The Online First service lets users access peer reviewed and accepted articles well before print publication (i. e. a few days after the return of the corrected galley proofs). These articles are searchable and citeable by their DOI (Digital Object Identifier) and hence significantly reduce the time it takes for critical discoveries to reach the research community.
