SOLA
AIMS AND SCOPE
SOLA (Scientific Online Letters on the Atmosphere) is a peer-reviewed, Open Access, online-only journal. It publishes scientific discoveries and advances in understanding in meteorology, climatology, the atmospheric sciences and related interdisciplinary areas.
SOLA focuses on presenting new and scientifically rigorous observations, experiments, data analyses, numerical modeling, data assimilation, and technical developments as quickly as possible. It achieves this via rapid peer review and publication of research letters, published as Regular Articles.
Published and supported by the Meteorological Society of Japan, the journal follows strong research and publication ethics principles. Most manuscripts receive a first decision within one month and a decision upon resubmission within a further month. Accepted articles are then quickly published on the journal’s website, where they are easily accessible to our broad audience.
JOURNAL POLICIES
SOLA upholds the highest scientific and publication ethics standards and the journal’s various policies are detailed below. SOLA follows the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines when dealing with any cases of misconduct or dispute.
Acceptance criteria
SOLA is a rapid review, rapid publication journal that publishes articles meeting the basic criteria for scope, length, ethical standards, English standards and clarity of expression. In addition, articles must be scientifically rigorous and technically proficient, with methods and analyses that are appropriate to the study being reported.
Furthermore, all manuscripts reporting original research should:
a) contain observations, experiments, data analyses, numerical models, or theory concerning the basis and application of meteorology, climatology, and atmospheric sciences
b) contain new findings with scientific value or technical developments, obtained by the authors themselves
c) have logically explained conclusions
d) be written in clear and concise English.
Authorship
By submitting to SOLA, all authors undertake that they have agreed to the author list. Any amendments to the list (such as changing the order, or adding or removing authors) after submission must be approved by all authors and the Editor. In addition, all authors must have contributed substantially to the work; have agreed to be accountable for their contributions to the work; be able to identify the co-authors responsible for each part of the work; have confidence in the integrity of the work; and have reviewed and approved the final manuscript.

Duplicate submission and unoriginal material
Authors must not have submitted their manuscript to another journal before the Editorial
Committee makes the final decision on its suitability for publication in SOLA. If there is an indication of duplicate submission, the Editorial Committee will investigate further and will reject immediately in cases where duplicate submission is confirmed.
The journal screens accepted articles for any unoriginal material before publication using the iThenticate service (ithenticate.com).
Authors may freely submit their manuscripts to another journal after withdrawal or rejection from SOLA.

Image and data integrity
Images, especially graphics files, which are included in a manuscript for review should not be processed except for necessary guides for readers (e.g., labels or arrows, etc.). If manipulation is necessary, it should be applied to the entire image and any changes should be noted in the manuscript.
Any data associated with images or other aspects of the manuscript must be retained by the authors and provided upon request.
