The American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting this week in San Francisco marks our first public event as the new publisher of the open access journal Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene. If you are at the event, please stop by our booth number 1512. (Other UC Press products and books will also be on display.)

For those new to it, Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene is a trans-disciplinary, open-access journal with the ultimate objective of accelerating scientific solutions to the challenges presented by this era of human impact. It is structured into six distinct knowledge domains, and gives authors the opportunity to publish in one or multiple domains, helping them to present their research and commentary to interested readers from disciplines related to their own.

Because such solutions will require collaboration among all research disciplines, and among academics, practitioners, and policymakers, the journal’s trans-disciplinary nature is essential. For the sake of presenting articles in a series this week during AGU, we will focus on each of the domains in turn. (And we begin tomorrow with Atmospheric Science and Ocean Science.)

We want to particularly highlight our content’s high usage and download metrics—there has doubtless never been a more important time to ensure that this research has the widest and most open dissemination as possible. By getting published at Elementa, you will maximize your exposure, and we have the metrics to prove it.

If you have an article you would like to submit, or a special feature or forum you would like to propose, please visit www.elementascience.org, or get in touch with dmorgan@ucpress.edu in the first instance, or come and see us at AGU booth 1512.

Please watch this short video introducing Elementa, and check out the general list of special features and forums that are open for submissions, below it.
