Limnology - A new journal category ‘Research reports’ will be renewed from Asia/Oceania reports in October 2023.

Research reports, which will be effective as of October 2023, were renewed from Asia/Oceania reports, and they include scientific descriptions of unique phenomena in poorly known study systems from all over the world or presentation of long-term and/or broader spatial scale data with brief descriptions. Descriptive manuscripts without full discussion can be considered under this category provided that they make significant contributions to advances in the limnological sciences. According to the FAIR Data Principles (this opens in a new tab), data sets should be presented as electronic supplementary material. They are limited to be maximum of 4000 words (main text only).
