New editors sought for Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics

30 March 2026

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

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 900 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 170 editors from nearly 30 countries who are led by an executive committee (Executive Editors Barbara Ervens and Ken Carslaw) and seven senior subject-area coordinators.

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 15 May 2026 at: https://webforms.copernicus.org/ACP/editor-application

We especially encourage applications from underrepresented demographic groups. Priority will be given to candidates who have some prior experience of leadership or other positions of responsibility in the atmospheric science community. Please provide the requested information in the form below. Your application will be reviewed by the ACP executive editors and you will be informed in due time.
