MOUNTAIN RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

英文简介

The overall mission of Mountain Research and Development is to foster sustainable development in mountains by supporting peer-reviewed interdisciplinary, disciplinary, and transdisciplinary research on mountains, developing scientific capacity, capitalizing on development experiences, promoting policy dialogue, and strengthening networks within the mountain community.Mountain Research and Development (MRD) is devoted to mountains and their surrounding lowlands – ecoregions of particular global importance, in which communities are often marginalized. MRD seeks to present the best in recent research on and development approaches in the world's mountain systems. Papers are peer-reviewed and offer internationally and nationally relevant research on key topics relating to mountains, mountain people, and sustainable development in mountains; book reviews are written by acknowledged experts, and institutional members of the International Mountain Society (IMS) present information about their mountain initiatives and priorities.MRD provides open access to all of its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public, especially to developing countries, supports a greater global exchange of knowledge. Open access leads to increased readership beyond the international mountain community, thus increasing the benefit of experience in sustainable mountain development presented in MRD. Open access also results in increased recognition and citation of authors' work.

中文简介

山地研究与开发的总体任务是通过支持同行评审的跨学科、学科和跨学科的山地研究，发展科学能力，利用发展经验，促进政策对话，加强山地社区内的网络，促进山区的可持续发展。山地研究与开发(MRD)致力于山地及其周边低地——在全球具有特殊重要性的生态区，在这些生态区，社区往往被边缘化。MRD旨在展示世界山区系统最新研究和开发方法的最佳成果。论文经过同行评审，并在国际和国内提供有关山区、山区人民和山区可持续发展的关键主题的相关研究;书评由公认的专家撰写，国际山地协会(IMS)的机构成员提供有关其山地倡议和优先事项的信息。MRD提供了对其所有内容的开放访问，其原则是让公众免费获得研究成果，特别是发展中国家，支持更广泛的全球知识交流。开放获取将增加国际山地社区之外的读者数量，从而增加MRD中提出的可持续山地发展经验的益处。开放获取还能提高对作者作品的认可和引用。
