Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics

ACP is a not-for-profit European Geosciences Union (EGU) journal published by Copernicus Publications. Editors work on a voluntary basis. The journal publishes around 800 papers per year covering all of atmospheric chemistry and physics. ACP was founded in 2001 as the first fully open-access journal, pioneering an interactive public discussion of submitted papers.

The journal currently has about 160 editors from nearly 30 countries who are led by an executive committee (Executive Editors Barbara Ervens and Ken Carslaw) and eight senior subject-area coordinators.

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (ACP) is seeking editors to strengthen its editorial board in all journal subject areas: aerosols; gases; clouds; precipitation; dynamics; radiation; and the role of the aforementioned components in the Earth’s climate system, including the biosphere, hydrosphere, and cryosphere.

Priority topics include in situ observations of gases and particles, boundary layer transport and turbulence, urban air pollution, lower-tropospheric ozone, greenhouse gas monitoring, tropospheric dynamics (large-scale variability and its implications for smaller-scale processes), radiation and climate, biosphere–atmosphere interactions, and machine learning applications in atmospheric science.

Editors are responsible for assuring high scientific standards by conducting an efficient and fair manuscript review process, from the appointment of reviewers through to making the final decision on acceptance for publication. Editors, who will be reputable scientists in their field, are expected to exercise the highest levels of scientific integrity and ethics and to support ACP’s interactive public peer review process. The full guidelines for editors are available at: https://www.atmospheric-chemistry-and-physics.net/policies/guidelines_for_editors.html

If you are interested in becoming an ACP editor, please submit a short statement of motivation and suitability by 30 April 2025 at: https://webforms.copernicus.org/ACP/editor-application

The selection process will consider the applicant’s scientific and community track record; expertise aligned with the journal scope, in particular in one or more of the topics listed above; and evidence of commitment to ACP’s public peer review model. We especially encourage applications from underrepresented demographic groups.
