Estuaries and Coasts is the journal of the Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation (CERF). Begun in 1977 as Chesapeake Science, the journal has gradually expanded its scope and circulation. Today, the journal publishes scholarly manuscripts on estuarine and near coastal ecosystems at the interface between the land and the sea where there are tidal fluctuations or sea water is diluted by fresh water. The interface is broadly defined to include estuaries and nearshore coastal waters including lagoons, wetlands, tidal fresh water, shores and beaches, but not the continental shelf. The journal covers research on physical, chemical, geological or biological processes, as well as applications to management of estuaries and coasts. The journal publishes original research findings, reviews and perspectives, techniques, comments, and management applications. Estuaries and Coasts will consider properly carried out studies that present inconclusive findings or document a failed replication of previously published work. Submissions that are primarily descriptive, strongly place-based, or only report on development of models or new methods without detailing their applications fall outside the scope of the journal.

《河口与海岸》是沿海和河口研究联合会 (CERF) 的期刊。该期刊于 1977 年以《切萨皮克科学》为名创刊，其范围和发行量逐渐扩大。如今，该期刊发表关于陆地和海洋交界处的河口和近海生态系统的学术手稿，这些交界处存在潮汐波动或海水被淡水稀释。交界处的定义很广，包括河口和近岸沿海水域，包括泻湖、湿地、潮汐淡水、海岸和海滩，但不包括大陆架。该期刊涵盖物理、化学、地质或生物过程的研究，以及对河口和海岸管理的应用。该期刊发表原创研究成果、评论和观点、技术、评论和管理应用。《河口与海岸》将考虑正确开展的研究，这些研究呈现出不确定的结果或记录了以前发表的工作的失败复制。以描述为主、强烈基于地点或仅报告模型或新方法的开发而未详细说明其应用的投稿不在本期刊的范围内。

该刊已被国际权威数据库SCIE收录，该刊致力于发表经过严格同行评审的高质量原创文章，反映环境科学-海洋与淡水生物学领域的新进展、新技术、新成果，促进该领域科研交流和科研成果转化。该刊2023年影响因子为2.3，平均审稿速度为 偏慢,12-24周 ，近四年来没有被列入预警名单。如果您需要投稿发表服务及指导，可以联系我们的客服老师，我们专业专注服务期刊投稿协助10年，为您提供期刊投稿个性化定制服务，并且我们确保严格保密您的个人信息及稿件内容。
