Scott Polar Research InstituteSPRI Review 2008
Polar Record
Four issues of Polar Record, an internationally refereed journal of polar research for the sciences, social sciences and humanities, were published by Cambridge University Press during 2008. Twenty-five articles appeared in the year along with eight notes, twenty-seven book reviews and other contributions, including six obituaries. No fewer than fifty-seven academic referees were consulted during the peer-review process which each contribution goes through prior to acceptance and, for their input towards making the journal a success, the Institute is most grateful. The number of submissions for publication is increasing significantly, no doubt partly because of the journal's ISI status, received in 2006. This status means that each published paper is now included in the Science Citation Index.
