While the majority of journals listed on this page address climate change and/or biodiversity in some way, those with a core focus on one or the other are highlighted.

Please note that this is a work-in-progress: many journals are yet to be classified, and there are no straightforward criteria for determining whether a journal is “climate-focused” or “biodiversity-focused.”

~ Beware of predatory publishing ~

In striving to be comprehensive, numerous “predatory journals” have inevitably been included on this page, and no effort has been made to extract (or to provide notification of) such journals. Consequently, it may be worth examining the links from Wikipedia's entry on Predatory publishing before using any journal you've never heard of.

Academic journals A→K

The listing below has been compiled over the past decade-plus and might be the most

     comprehensive on the web. Nonetheless, judging from its continuous accretion

     rate, it remains incomplete. Apparently, there is no single comprehensive  

     listing of academic environmental journals online.

Journal ranking

There are many ways to rank the influence of different journals; see the Wikipedia entry on Journal ranking entry or this Wiley webpage for listings of the different measures used to rank journals.

This listing drops the article “The” at the start of some journal titles (eg, “The International Journal of...").  

However, “the” within a journal title (eg, “Journal of the...”) is alphabetized with the “the.”
