Editorial: Advances in Polar Science Is Changing and Improving

Advances in Polar Science (APS) has been published since 1990 as a peer-reviewed English-language journal dedicated to the presentation of multi-disciplinary achievements in Arctic and Antarctic expeditions and research (until 2011 it was known as the Chinese Journal of Polar Science [English Edition]). Now, commencing with Vol. 26, No. 3 in 2015, we are moving to make APS more truly international, with two new Co-Editors-in Chief, and a new expert team of disciplinary Editors from China and many other nations involved in polar research (see http://journal.polar.org.cn/EN/column/column80.shtml). In the future, Advances in Polar Science will be a completely separate journal from the Chinese-language version of the Chinese Journal of Polar Research.
