Original findings pertaining to the scope of the journal will be published after editorial review. In full-length research articles, authors should present new experimental or theoretical results of significant importance.

(2) Review Papers:

Authoritative review can be published either by the invitation or by direct submission. In both cases, the work will be subject to a peer-review. The review article should include a critical review of important areas in atmospheric science and engineering in order to inform the general reader of the background, state-of-the art, and outstanding research works.

(3) Technical Information:

A report, which includes relevant analytical or treatment information, new experimental elaboration on previous journal articles, etc, with a brief piece of work, although not sufficiently comprehensive for a full article, can be published as technical information.

(4) Special Features:

Special features will be published by invitation only and will be on atmospheric environmental topics judged to be important by editorial board.
