《湖泊和水庫管理》(LRM)發表了與湖泊和水庫管理相關的原創、以前未發表的研究。論文論述了湖泊和水庫的管理，它們的流域和支流，以及這些系統健全管理所需要的湖沼學和生態學。只要有明確的管理意義，促進湖泊管理科學或確認重要管理概念的案例研究是適當的。歡迎關于湖泊管理的經濟、社會、管理和政策方面的論文，并提供適當的支持數據和管理方面的影響。將考慮出版關于湖泊和流域生態概念基礎的文獻綜合和論文，但需要明確強調管理方面的影響。在模型得到適當驗證的地方，將考慮建模文檔，但是基于模型的管理和結果已被記錄下來也是非常可取的。將已知的模型應用到另一個系統中，而在結果管理方面沒有明顯的進展，這是不太可能被接受的。較短的筆記傳達長期研究的重要早期結果，或提供有關病原體或管理方法的數據，以保證進一步研究是可以接受的，即使故事尚未完成。所有提交的文件都要經過同行評審，以確保管理應用的相關性和可靠性。所有提交的內容和格式應嚴格遵循作者的指導。LRM論文涉及的典型研究領域包括:在管理需要和/或努力的范圍內評估湖泊資源、利用和威脅監控方法或程序及其對管理的影響入侵動植物的生態學和管理藻類的生態學和管理，特別是有害藻類的繁殖漁業管理，特別是在湖泊和水庫恢復的范圍內評價湖內管理方法和影響評價基于流域的管理方法和影響水生系統的建模，其中模型結果已用于管理決策和優選應用湖泊管理的社會和經濟層面LRM致力于水資源管理的科學、經濟、社會監管和規劃方面。LRM的功能是記錄湖泊管理的進展，并為湖泊管理者、研究人員和政策制定者提供資源。論文必須展示與湖泊管理的相關性，將研究結果與現有知識相結合，應用合理的研究設計和數據分析，并清晰而簡明地傳達重要信息。

Lake and Reservoir Management (LRM) publishes original, previously unpublished studies relevant to lake and reservoir management. Papers address the management of lakes and reservoirs, their watersheds and tributaries, along with the limnology and ecology needed for sound management of these systems. Case studies that advance the science of lake management or confirm important management concepts are appropriate as long as there is clearly described management significance. Papers on economic, social, regulatory and policy aspects of lake management are also welcome with appropriate supporting data and management implications. Literature syntheses and papers developing a conceptual foundation of lake and watershed ecology will be considered for publication, but there needs to be clear emphasis on management implications. Modeling papers will be considered where the model is properly verified but it is also highly preferable that management based on the model has been taken and results have been documented. Application of known models to yet another system without a clear advance in resultant management are unlikely to be accepted. Shorter notes that convey important early results of long-term studies or provide data relating to causative agents or management approaches that warrant further study are acceptable even if the story is not yet complete. All submissions are subject to peer review to assure relevance and reliability for management application. All submissions should strictly follow the guidance to authors for content and format. Typical areas of study addressed in LRM papers include:Assessment of lake resources, uses, and threats within the context of management needs and/or effortsMonitoring methods or programs and their implications for managementEcology and management of invasive plant or animal speciesEcology and management of algae, especially harmful algae bloomsFishery management, especially within the context of lake and reservoir rehabilitationEvaluation of in-lake management approaches and impactsEvaluation of watershed-based management approaches and impactsModeling of aquatic systems where the model results have been used in management decisions and preferably applicationsSocial and economic dimensions of lake managementLRM addresses scientific, economic, social regulatory, and programmatic aspects of water resource management. LRM functions as a record of advances in lake management and a resource for lake managers, researchers and policy makers. Papers must demonstrate relevance to lake management, integrate findings with current knowledge, apply sound study design and data analysis, and convey an important message clearly and concisely.
