Background

Synthesis research is a promising and growing research field and is essential to exploit in novel ways the vast amounts of available research and monitoring data. Synthesis research provides knowledge and evidence-based scientific advice through carefully planned activities and processes and can enable innovative breakthroughs.



This Research Topic aims to collate papers based on synthesis research activities in marine and freshwater ecosystems, including papers anchored in Big Data and the application of multi-metric indicator-based assessment tools. The goal of the proposed Research Topic is to gather and present state-of-the-art studies of synthesis research in aquatic ecosystems.



Specific themes to be addressed in the Research Topic include:

1) definition and examples of synthesis research.

2) synthesis research studies in aquatic ecosystems.

3) development and application of Multi-metric Indicator-Based Assessment Tools (MIBATs) in aquatic ecosystems.

4) Integrated Assessment (IAs) of aquatic assessment based on the application of MIBATs.

5) synthesis studies focusing on solutions and implementation of ecosystem-based management strategies.

We are interested in receiving different types of manuscripts, e.g., Original Research, Reviews, Systematic Reviews, Mini-Reviews, Perspective, Policy Brief and Policy and Practice Review.
