Aims and Scope
Air Quality, Atmosphere, and Health is a multidisciplinary journal which, by its very name, illustrates the broad range of work it publishes and which focuses on atmospheric consequences of human activities and their implications for human and ecological health.

It offers research papers, critical literature reviews and commentaries, as well as special issues devoted to topical subjects or themes.

International in scope, the journal presents papers that inform and stimulate a global readership, as the topic addressed are global in their import. Consequently, we do not encourage submission of papers involving local data that relate to local problems. Unless they demonstrate wide applicability, these are better submitted to national or regional journals.

Air Quality, Atmosphere & Health addresses such topics as acid precipitation; airborne particulate matter; air quality monitoring and management; exposure assessment; risk assessment; indoor air quality; atmospheric chemistry; atmospheric modeling and prediction; air pollution climatology; climate change and air quality; air pollution measurement; atmospheric impact assessment; forest-fire emissions; atmospheric science; greenhouse gases; health and ecological effects; clean air technology; regional and global change and satellite measurements.

This journal benefits a diverse audience of researchers, public health officials and policy makers addressing problems that call for solutions based in evidence from atmospheric and exposure assessment scientists, epidemiologists, and risk assessors. Publication in the journal affords the opportunity to reach beyond defined disciplinary niches to this broader readership.

Verified Reviews
Note: Verified reviews are sourced from across review platforms and social media globally.
Because I felt that there was too little information available online about this journal when I submitted my article, I am now sharing my experience after it was accepted, in order to provide some information for colleagues who may be interested in submitting to this journal.

This journal is not particularly well-known in the field, but on the one hand, as a master's student, I am satisfied to have my work published here. On the other hand, this journal has a relatively low publication volume and does not accept a lot of low-quality articles. Personally, I prefer Springer's magazines.

According to the official website, the review process takes 43 days for the initial notification, but based on my personal experience, it took about a month. My article was reviewed by two reviewers, resulting in major revisions from one and minor revisions from the other. The editor gave me three weeks to complete the major revisions. After submitting the revised article, the review process was completed within a few days, and a few days later, it was accepted. The whole process took a little over two months.

Overall, when choosing a journal to submit to, it is important to consider the match with your field. This journal prefers articles related to environmental monitoring. As long as you are given the opportunity to make revisions, the chances of being accepted after careful revisions are quite high.

A paper from my undergraduate years, which was rejected after the second review by BAE and then submitted to this journal. It was submitted in September and accepted in December, so the efficiency was decent.

From my observation, the editorial board has changed this year, and the number of publications has gradually increased. The real-time impact factor for 2021 is above 5+, and it is expected to continue to rise next year. There is also a possibility of entering the second tier of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. I suggest trying to submit a shorter article to gain some experience.
