If you visit the Frontiers website today, you’ll notice a big change. We’ve introduced a new web design that loads faster, is more visually appealing and is fully responsive on all platforms. The most noticeable change is the amount of content and the number of ways visitors can access the latest published research on the site. In the previous version of the site, we were only able to showcase one article a week, but now we are able to highlight more articles, eBooks, the journals our editors and science heroes from around the world. The journals are also much easier to find and browse through. Transforming the Visitor’s Experience While we have done minor tweaks over the past few years, this is the biggest redesign of the homepage that we’ve done since our launch in 2007. The new homepage features a number of technological changes that will help you learn more about the different Frontiers research publishing tools, keep up-to-date with our latest news and find what you are looking for quickly and efficiently. And if you’re already familiar with our platform and have come to submit your paper, we’ve made that easier as well. The “Submit your paper” is […]

Loop has collaborated with ORCID to link and synchronize researcher profiles to make it even easier for researchers to import their publications into their Loop profile. The integration allows researchers to add all their publications from ORCID into their Loop profile with the click of a button, eliminating the need to maintain multiple online profiles. Loop’s approach is open, collaborative and inclusive and strives to provide a platform where researchers have all the tools at their disposal to enhance academic discovery and impact. This includes integration with ORCID. An ORCID iD and other identifiers have become crucial within academia as mechanisms to find, link and navigate the vast volumes of information and data now available online. Loop recognizes the importance of connecting and synchronizing with these identifiers and believes that a single platform where all this information is aggregated, organized and made accessible, will enable more effective academic discovery and impact. Loop will also be using ORCID’s OAuth process to validate the connection to the researcher’s existing ORCID record or invite them to create an ORCID iD if they don’t already have one. Additionally, the integration adds a link from ORCID to the author’s Loop profile, allowing readers to discover an enriched profile and networking experience on […]

We are delighted to announce the publication of a new eBook presenting cutting edge themes on weather systems: “Circulation Weather types as a tool in atmospheric, climate and environmental research”, published under Frontiers in Environmental Science, hosted by: Alexandre M. Ramos, David Barriopedro, Emanuel Dutra. We hope this achievement serves as a stepping stone to inspire future research topics in our journal. You can take a look at the eBook here: http://fron.tiers.in/go/9XxBuW Research Topic webpage: http://fron.tiers.in/go/ddMyGa Topic Description: Classifications of circulation weather systems have a long history in meteorology and climatology. Starting with manual classifications over specific regions of the globe, these tools (generally called “catalogs of synoptic types”) were restricted mainly to weather forecasting and historical climate variability studies. In the last decades, the advance of computing resources and the availability of datasets have fostered the development of fast and objective methods that process large amount of data. In recent years numerous methods of circulation type classification have been designed, showing their usefulness on a wide range of applications in scientific domains related to weather, climate, and environment. This Research Topic highlights methodological advances in circulation weather types and also their applications to different research areas. The articles included in […]
