One Earth (one-earth)
Journal positioning
One Earth is a Cell Press journal focused on sustainability science at the intersection of natural systems, social systems, and applied interventions, with an explicit orientation toward solutions and transformative change. It sits in the high-tier sustainability space alongside Nature Sustainability and Nature Climate Change, but with the Cell Press editorial culture: bold framing, solutions-orientation, and a strong preference for interdisciplinary synthesis that proposes or evaluates pathways to a sustainable future. The readership spans environmental scientists, social scientists, engineers, and engaged policymakers worldwide.
This skill is a fit / venue-selection / re-framing tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the Cell Press / One Earth site and the submission system.
When to trigger
- The author names One Earth as the target venue.
- A manuscript addresses a sustainability challenge with an explicit solutions, transformation, or policy-pathway dimension and the author is choosing between One Earth, Nature Sustainability, and Nature Climate Change.
- A cross-disciplinary synthesis — combining ecology, social science, economics, and engineering — needs a venue that rewards bold, solutions-driven framing.
- The author wants to understand One Earth's specific desk-reject profile compared with sibling venues.
