10th Anniversary of Resources

Dear Colleagues,

Resources released its first issue in 2012 is now celebrating its 10th anniversary.

Thanks to all contributing researchers along with our dedicated reviewers and editorial team, Resources has become a popular outlet for publishing research on topics concerning natural resources. The open access format attracts authors that value the timely handling of papers and high visibility and citations as well as readers that enjoy the free and unlimited access to publications.

This Special Issue has been set up to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Resources. The focus will be on the publication of comprehensive reviews, regular articles and short communications reflecting the progress in sustainable resources management over the last 10 years. We also invite integrated assessments on the use and/or status of major resources in the focus of the journal: energy, water, food and bio-resources, minerals, land and ecological resources plus governance and policy aspects. 

We also welcome forward-looking articles examining issues reflecting on the main societal challenges and on how to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals within planetary boundaries.

We encourage authors representing traditional knowledge to provide alternative approaches to the mainstream perspectives in resources use.
