Hot Papers in the SETAC Journals

Jen Lynch, SETAC Publications Manager

We recently identified papers that have garnered the most downloads in a 12-month period from their date of publication. This is not the same as the top downloaded papers of a given volume year, which will always skew towards those articles that have published earlier in the year. We would like to take a moment to thank these authors for publishing with Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (ET&C) and Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management (IEAM) and the readers for rewarding those efforts with your attention (and citation!).

A note about the links: As part of a new initiative, our publisher Wiley has created a “sharing link.” When you click on “share” icon to the right of an ET&C or IEAM article, you will have the option to copy a link. This can be posted on any social media outlet or shared via any digital means. The link will allow access to the full content but will not allow the reader to download the PDF. Those pesky days of only having abstract information when you see a compelling tweet are done – at least here at SETAC.
