Monica Contestabile serves as the editor-in-chief of the publication. Her leadership guides the strategic vision for every issue released each month and she oversees the selection process for manuscripts submitted by researchers worldwide.
Major databases now include the journal in their collections for easy access including the Science Citation Index Expanded platform and the Scopus database which hosts the full text of published papers.
Journal Citation Reports listed a 2022 impact factor of 27.7 for the title. This number reflects how often other scientists cite articles from the previous years and indicates high frequency of citations across the field.
Monthly peer-reviewed issues drive current conversations on sustainability science today and governments use these reports to draft legislation regarding climate change while businesses consult the journal when planning long-term ecological strategies.
