Founded in 1990, the European Astronomical Society (EAS) aims to contribute to and promote the advancement of all aspects of astronomy in Europe. The European Astronomical Society Publications Series was launched to publish the proceedings of selected scientific meetings, including the proceedings of conferences, symposia and workshops, held in Europe and beyond. The EAS review process ensures that only research of the highest scientific standards is accepted for publication.
The journal publishes original research papers of high scientific quality in two areas: Mathematical Modelling, and Numerical Analysis. Mathematical Modelling comprises the development and study - e.g. structure, well-posedness, solution properties - of a mathematical formulation of a problem (or class of problems). Numerical Analysis comprises the formulation and study - e.g. stability, convergence, computational complexity - of a numerical approximation or solution approach to a mathematically formulated problem (or class of problems).
Reading, writing and reviewing articles is a major part of the scientific process and should be as such included in scientific education. However, most professional journals are too technical to be accessible to students in training: a solid background is required to understand articles, it takes a long research experience to produce new publishable material and only well-established scientists are invited to review submitted manuscripts.
EmSci offers students a unique opportunity to get acquainted with scientific publication.
International Journal of Limnology (IJL) publishes original articles and reviews on all aspects dealing with the physical or chemical properties, biology and ecology of freshwater and brackish systems. Manuscripts can be proposed about studies performed either in the laboratory or at field. Said differently, IJL aims at providing a unique media for topics addressing inland water environments (physics, chemistry, biogeochemistry, biology, ecology), from both fundamental and functional aspects to applications and management issues. IJL promotes rapid peer-review and rapid publication. In 2020, time from submission to first decision was 1-2 weeks and time from acceptance to online publication was 4 weeks. The official language of the journal is English.
This special issue, devoted to diffractive optics, is loosely associated with EOS Topical Meeting on Diffractive Optics organized in Koli, Finland, in February 2010. Most of the papers deal with topics presented in the conference, but that was not a requirement. The six papers of the special issue cover a wide variety of theoretical and experimental topics with a slight emphasis on practical applications.
