Polar Research serves an international community of researchers and managers.
Original primary research papers comprise the mainstay of
Polar Research. Review articles, brief research notes, letters to the editor, perspective pieces and book reviews are also included. Clusters of articles on special themes are published from time to time.
The scope of
Polar Research encompasses research in all scientific disciplines relevant to the polar regions. These include, but are not limited to, the subfields of biology, ecology, geology, oceanography, glaciology, and atmospheric science. Submissions from the human and social sciences and those focusing on polar management and policy issues are welcome. Contributions about Antarctica are particularly encouraged.
