MRD attaches great importance to maintaining the acknowledged high standard of its research section.
Coverage ranges widely, from topics in natural science to anthropological and socio-economic issues.
The section features a choice selection of recent research on mountains. Contributions have contemporary relevance and offer scientific insight into development issues, as well as methodological innovations that include disciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches. All papers in the research section are peer-reviewed. Papers are written by scholars from throughout the world and cover all continents. Special efforts are made to encourage contributions by authors from developing countries, without neglecting contributions from industrialised countries.
