EDITORIAL
POLICY FOR PUBLICATION IN SCIENCE OF TSUNAMI HAZARDS
The SCIENCE OF TSUNAMI
HAZARDS will consider for publications papers from a wide range
of scientific disciplines, encompassing the most basic research
to the most innovative technologies. Data reports on tsunami
effects, on tsunami runup or other observations on manifestations
of the tsunami phenomenon, may be included in the journal together
with theoretical or applied research papers. For example, a paper
may be included which describes tsunami impacts on agricultural
coastal land and strategies for soil restoration in the same
issue as papers addressing remote sensing applications to surveying
tsunami effects, or papers dealing with seismotectonics of tsunami
source mechanisms or mathematical modeling studies of tsunami
propagation and energy flux. The content of the Journal is multidisciplinary.
The idea is that the
more valid research is published on all aspects of the tsunami
hazards, the better, as such inclusion into one single journal,
contributes to an online database on which future research can
be expanded. Furthermore, scientific debate is encouraged, as
this too can lead to new research and discoveries. Opinions and
ideas based on scientific observations are welcome for possible
publication in the journal in the form of editorials or commentaries.
In brief, The Tsunami Society strives for objectivity, significance
and scientific quality and balance in publishing SCIENCE OF TSUNAMI
HAZARDS.
