Manuscript types

The following types of manuscripts can be considered for peer-reviewed publication in Safety of Nuclear Waste Disposal (SaND):

• Research articles report substantial new results and conclusions from scientific investigations of dynamical processes in the atmosphere within the scope of the journal. Please note that the journal scope is focused on studies with general implications for atmospheric science rather than investigations which are primarily of local interest.
• Review articles summarize the status of knowledge and outline future directions of research within the scope of the journal. Before preparing and submitting a review article, please contact the managing editors by email and provide the topic, the author list, a short statement on the purpose and scope of the review paper, and why it addresses an important gap in the literature. Review articles can be superseded by an updated version in order to incorporate a significant amount of new information (similar to the "living reviews" concept). The new article should contain a direct reference to the preceding article, both in the abstract and introduction sections. Please contact the executive editors if you would like to update your review article. Depending on the subject and further characteristics, review articles are also eligible for inclusion in the Encyclopedia of Geosciences. If you are interested in this option, please see the author instructions and contact the editors of the encyclopedia.
• Peer-reviewed comments continue the discussion of published papers beyond the limits of immediate interactive discussion. They will usually refer to papers published in SaND, but may refer to papers published in other journals if satisfactory justification is given. They undergo the same process of peer review, publication and interactive discussion as articles, and they are equivalent to the peer-reviewed comments in traditional scientific journals. The manuscript title should start with "Comment on" or "Reply to".
• Corrigenda correct errors in preceding papers. The manuscript title reads as follows: Corrigendum to "TITLE" published in JOURNAL, VOLUME, PAGES, YEAR. Please note that corrigenda are only possible for final revised journal papers and not for the corresponding preprints.
