Focus and Scope

LIMNOTEK Perairan Darat Tropis di Indonesia (LIMNOTEK; English parallel title: Journal of Limnology and Water Resources) is a peer-reviewed bi-annual scientific journal published by the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) in collaboration with the Indonesian Society of Limnology (MLI). The journal focuses on limnology and inland water sciences in tropical regions, with particular relevance to Indonesia and comparable environments.

The journal publishes original research articles and review papers addressing the physical, chemical, biological, and ecological processes of inland water ecosystems, including lakes, reservoirs, rivers, wetlands, and other fresh and brackish inland waters. Emphasis is placed on studies that integrate limnological processes, water resources management, and socio-ecological interactions.

The scope of the journal includes, but is not limited to:

  • Limnology and aquatic ecology of tropical inland waters

  • Hydrology and hydrogeology related to inland water systems

  • Water quality dynamics, nutrient cycling, and biogeochemical processes

  • Long-term monitoring, modeling, and assessment of inland water ecosystems

  • Impacts of climate variability, land-use change, and anthropogenic pressures

  • Ecosystem services, valuation, and socio-ecological aspects of inland waters

  • Conservation, rehabilitation, and restoration of inland water ecosystems

  • Water governance, policy, and sustainable management of inland water resources

  • Water-related hazards, risks, resilience, and adaptation in inland water environments
