《劍橋南極科學》為英國南極調查局出版，為許多跨學科研究提供了一個焦點，這些跨學科研究日益成為南極科學的特征，但也包含了廣泛的學科論文。該雜志吸引了目前從事南極研究的所有國家的論文。認識到英語并不是許多作者的第一語言，該雜志在滿足目前出版所需的高水平方面提供了幫助。它出版評論和數據論文，篇幅不限，兩頁簡短的技術發展說明和最近關于南極主要會議的發現報告，書評和即將發生事件的日記。這些連同一篇討論科學更廣泛方面的社論，提供了豐富多樣的項目組合，使科學各個領域的研究人員感興趣。該雜志不時出版個別專題;下一章將專門討論南極生物的進化生物學。

Published for the British Antarctic Survey Cambridge Antarctic Science provides a focus for many of the interdisciplinary studies that increasingly characterize Antarctic science yet also carries a wide range of disciplinary papers. The journal attracts papers from all of the countries at present undertaking Antarctic research. Recognising that English is not the first language of many authors the journal does provide assistance in meeting the high levels now required for publication. It publishes both review and data papers with no limits on length two page short notes on technical developments and recent discoveries reports on key Antarctic meetings book reviews and a diary of forthcoming events. These together with an editorial discussing broader aspects of science provide a rich and varied mixture of items to interest researchers in all areas of science. From time to time the journal produces individual thematic issues; the next will be devoted to the evolutionary biology of Antarctic organisms.
