Abstract

The international journal Landslides: Journal of International Consortium on Landslides was established in April 2004. The aims of Landslides are to promote landslide science, technology, and capacity building, and to strengthen global cooperation for landslide risk reduction within the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Risk Reduction (ISDR). The achievements of the first 5 years from the beginning of 2004 (Vol. 1, No. 1) to the mid-2009 (Vol. 6, No. 2) were reviewed in 2009 (Landslides 6:275–286, 2009). This article presents the review for the second 5-year period from mid-2009 (Vol. 6, No. 3) to the end of 2013 (Vol. 10, No. 6), focusing on the journal’s significance and its impact. We include an analysis of the classifications of articles in Landslides.
