Climate Research is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the Inter-Research Science Center that was established in 1990. Its founder was Otto Kinne.[1] Three volumes, each typically containing half a dozen articles, are published each year. Each of its 12 editors therefore handles an average of less than 2 articles a year. Climate Research covers all aspects of the interactions of climate with organisms, ecosystems, and human societies. The journal is also known for its publication in 2003 of a controversial and now discredited climate change article.

In 2006, a special issue of the journal, titled "Advances in Applying Climate Prediction to Agriculture", was published under open access.[2][3]

Soon and Baliunas controversy

Main article: Soon and Baliunas controversy

In 2003, a controversial paper written by Willie Soon and Sallie Baliunas was published in the journal after being accepted by editor Chris de Freitas.[4][5] The article reviewed 240 previous papers and concluded that "Across the world, many records reveal that the 20th century is probably not the warmest or a uniquely extreme climatic period of the last millennium".[5] Several of the scientists cited in the paper have since denied this conclusion and have claimed that their data and results had been misrepresented.[6] In response to the handling by the journal publisher of the controversy over the paper's publication, several scientists, including newly appointed editor-in-chief Hans von Storch, resigned from the journal's editorial board.[7][8]
