Aerosol Research (AR) is a not-for-profit international scientific journal dedicated to the publication and public discussion of high-quality studies investigating aerosols. It covers all aspects of aerosol-related research.

The main subject areas comprise:

  • aerosol technology,
  • atmospheric aerosols,
  • aerosol measurements and instrumentation,
  • aerosols and health,
  • and fundamental aerosol research.

The journal scope is focused on studies with general implications for any of the subject areas rather than investigations that are primarily of local interest or of a descriptive nature. Research articles and review articles are considered for peer-reviewed publication. These are complemented by invited perspective articles and communication contributions.
