Sorry, last one! I also wonder if some of those aspects, which might overlap with LCA or even policy areas would be even better covered by SETACs sister journal IEAM. Anyway, all great food for thought! Thank you

Copy that! I have a feeling that that distribution might be due to authors preferentially submitting to those other journals and not a matter of ETC not considering those topics, but I will pass this along to my plastic’s colleagues. Appreciate the feedback!

I’ve been taking lots of notes these pasts weeks and will bring them up at the next editorial meeting! Please pass along (yourself or anybody reading!) any suggestions that you think would make ETC more attractive (other than IF, which is a harder issue with its own problems, hence why we are here!)

You do make a good point though! If our target audience is not aware that they can publish/find papers on their field there, then we do need to make a better job communicating that.

Hey Alex, newly appointed ETC editor here, happy to pass along any suggestions!. We do publish a fair bit of plastics work and other non-chemical stressors. Is your concern about specific tiers of OA available?

Agree, these are historically reputable journals. In hindsight the growing numbers were a red flag, but in the context of the field as a whole, it was hard to tell. Also, papers coming out now were probably submitted before the WoS decision. Those authors deserve being able to promote their work.

And if there is a Risk Assessment course, that is definitely worth it. That’s where your research would end up, so it is good to know what the people who are going to be using it need, that way you can have that in mind when designing the studies. I hope that helps!

If you are thinking more general “environmental tox” and you are already doing the molecular route, then adding environmental chemistry is always a plus. You always have to consider the chemical and its fate in the picture for full context.

Depends a bit on what you have already taken and the definition of Ecotox you are thinking of. For the more “eco” side of it, ecology or population biology would be good. Limnology if you are thinking aquatic is a nice comprehensive one.

Alex, these are awesome!
