# Nature Reviews Earth & Environment (nature-reviews-earth-and-environment)

## Journal positioning

Nature Reviews Earth & Environment is a Springer Nature review journal that publishes authoritative, synthesis-driven articles spanning the full breadth of Earth and environmental science — solid Earth, surface processes, climate, oceans, atmosphere, cryosphere, biogeochemistry, and human-environment interactions. Its defining character is that it publishes **no primary research**: every article is a review, perspective, or comment, and most substantive content is commissioned by the editors. The journal rewards expert authors who can synthesize a field, adjudicate competing interpretations, identify consensus and open questions, and set a forward agenda — written for a broad cross-disciplinary Earth-science readership and produced to a high editorial and graphical standard. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines, nor the editorial commissioning process. Before proposing, re-check the live author and pre-submission-enquiry instructions on the Nature Reviews Earth & Environment site.

## When to trigger

- The author wants to publish a comprehensive, authoritative review or perspective across an Earth or environmental science topic and names Nature Reviews Earth & Environment as the target.
- A senior author with field-defining standing is preparing a pre-submission enquiry or responding to a commissioning invitation.
- A manuscript synthesizes a field's state of knowledge, reconciles competing models, and sets research priorities — rather than reporting new data.
- The author needs to understand the commissioned, no-primary-research model and the enquiry route before investing in a full draft.
