淡水科学由淡水科学学会(SFS)和芝加哥大学出版社(UCP)联合出版。《淡水科学》发表文章，促进对所有类型的内陆水生生态系统(湖泊、河流、小溪、水库、地下和河口)以及水生和陆地生境(湿地、河岸地区和洪泛区)交界处的生态系统的理解和环境管理。关于河口和海洋科学方面补充或增加对淡水生态系统理解的观点的论文是适当的。编辑欢迎广泛的主题，包括:物理，化学和生物特性的死水和湖泊栖息地;生态系统流程;人口、社区和生态系统的结构和动态;淡水生物的生态学、系统学和遗传学，从细菌到脊椎动物;淡水与其他生态系统之间以及淡水生态学与其他水生科学之间的联系;生物评价、保护和恢复;环境管理;以及基础研究或应用研究的新方法。提交的论文可以是长篇的，也可以是短篇的。短篇论文应该讲述一个完整的故事，并有数据支持。欢迎评论、元分析、观点和书评。将考虑对迅速发展的研究领域进行理论讨论和批判性评价，以及对向决策者、资源管理人员和公众传播科学信息进行批判性评价的文章。欢迎广大读者就环境政策和科学在政策和管理方面的应用发表感兴趣的文章。然而，该杂志发表的学术交流是基于科学而不是倡导。

Freshwater Science is co-published by the Society for Freshwater Science (SFS) and the University of Chicago Press (UCP). Freshwater Science publishes articles that advance understanding and environmental stewardship of all types of inland aquatic ecosystems (lakes, rivers, streams, reservoirs, subterranean, and estuaries) and ecosystems at the interface between aquatic and terrestrial habitats (wetlands, riparian areas, and floodplains). Papers on aspects of estuarine and marine science that complement or add perspective to the understanding of freshwater ecosystems are appropriate. The editors welcome a wide range of topics, including: physical, chemical, and biological properties of lentic and lotic habitats; ecosystem processes; structure and dynamics of populations, communities, and ecosystems; ecology, systematics, and genetics of freshwater organisms, from bacteria to vertebrates; linkages between freshwater and other ecosystems and between freshwater ecology and other aquatic sciences; bioassessment, conservation, and restoration; environmental management; and new or novel methods for basic or applied research. Submissions can range from full-length treatments to short papers. Short papers should tell a complete story and be supported by data. Reviews, meta-analyses, perspectives, and book reviews are welcome. Theoretical discussions and critical appraisals of rapidly developing research fields will be considered, as will articles that critically evaluate communication of scientific information to policy makers, resource managers, and the general public. Articles of interest to a broad audience that address environmental policy and applications of science to policy and management also are welcome. However, the journal publishes scholarly communications that are grounded in science rather than advocacy.
