Five years on: environmental monitoring in perspective

Abstract

When JEM was launched five years ago a decision was taken to supplement the peer-reviewed papers with news and focus articles on topics related to the journal. Since then JEM has published over 20 focus articles on key topics in environmental monitoring. As the journal enters its sixth edition, and moves to a new 12 issue format, we take a look back at the highlights of our first five years and provide updates on some of the issues covered.
