Journal Guide

GeoResJ is a broad multidisciplinary online journal covering all earth and planetary science fields, processes and components, through diverse approaches (eg fieldwork, modelling/theoretical and experimental studies). The aim of this journal is to provide a forum for the rapid publication of the best original research in the field.The journal publishes:• Original research articles detailing significant research and development to advance our state of knowledge of the earth, atmosphere, or planetary systems• Review articlesTechnical articles focusing on cutting edge technical developments that show promise are also welcomed.All submissions will be first evaluated for novelty and usefulness to the scientific community and society at large, before a decision is made to send to review.

Geoarchaeology is an interdisciplinary journal published six times per year (in January, March, May, July, September and November). It presents the results of original research at the methodological and theoretical interface between archaeology and the geosciences and includes within its scope: interdisciplinary work focusing on understanding archaeological sites, their environmental context, and particularly site formation processes and how the analysis of sedimentary records can enhance our understanding of human activity in Quaternary environments. Manuscripts should examine the interrelationship between archaeology and the various disciplines within Quaternary science and the Earth Sciences more generally, including, for example: geology, geography, geomorphology, pedology, climatology, oceanography, geochemistry, geochronology, and geophysics. We also welcome papers that deal with the biological record of past human activity through the analysis of faunal and botanical remains and palaeoecological reconstructions that shed light on past human-environment interactions. The journal also welcomes manuscripts concerning the examination and geological context of human fossil remains as well as papers that employ analytical techniques to advance understanding of the composition and origin or material culture such as, for example, ceramics, metals, lithics, building stones, plasters, and cements.

The field of geobiology explores the relationship between life and the Earth's physical and chemical environment. Geobiology, launched in 2003, aims to provide a natural home for geobiological research, allowing the cross-fertilization of critical ideas, and promoting cooperation and advancement in this emerging field. We also aim to provide you with a forum for the rapid publication of your results in an international journal of high standing. We are particularly interested in papers crossing disciplines and containing both geological and biological elements.Geobiology invites submission of high-quality articles in the following areas:Origins and evolution of lifeEvolution of the atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphereThe sedimentary rock record and geobiology of critical intervalsPaleobiology and evolutionary ecologyEnvironmental microbiologyBiogeochemistry and global elemental cyclesMicrobe-mineral interactionsBiomarkersMolecular ecology and phylogeneticsGeobiology offers as standard practice double-blind reviewing, in which both authors and reviewers are anonymous to each other. This feature, while new to this area of science, is usual in other rapidly progressing and highly competitive disciplines. We supply this service to ensure the highest quality publication procedures, whereby all submitted manuscripts receive equal treatment and all criticism is truly free and fair.

Geobios publishes bimonthly in English original peer-reviewed articles of international interest in any area of paleontology, paleobiology, paleoecology, paleobiogeography, (bio)stratigraphy and biogeochemistry. All taxonomic groups are treated, including microfossils, invertebrates, plants, vertebrates and ichnofossils.Geobios welcomes descriptive papers based on original material (e.g. large Systematic Paleontology works), as well as more analytically and/or methodologically oriented papers, provided they offer strong and significant biochronological/biostratigraphical, paleobiogeographical, paleobiological and/or phylogenetic new insights and perspectices. A high priority level is given to synchronic and/or diachronic studies based on multi- or inter-disciplinary approaches mixing various fields of Earth and Life Sciences. Works based on extant data are also considered, provided they offer significant insights into geological-time studies.

Geochemical Transactions is ready to receive manuscripts on all aspects of geochemistry. The official journal of the Geochemistry Division of the American Chemical Society.

Chemie der Erde, one of the oldest journals for geochemistry-related topics, promotes broad interdisciplinary discussion on chemical problems in the geosciences, geoecology and environmental sciences. Numerous contributions by young authors have allowed the journal to retain its "young" scientific profile. Publications addressing interdisciplinary questions are particularly encouraged. The journal, through very personalized consultation and its worldwide distribution, offers entry into the world of international scientific communication. The international journal "Chemie der Erde" publishes original papers, brief news items and surveys of selected topics.

Geochemistry International is a journal of cosmochemistry; geochemistry of magmatic, metamorphic, hydrothermal, and sedimentary processes; organic geochemistry; applied geochemistry; and chemistry of the environment. Geochemistry International provides readers with a unique opportunity to refine their understanding of the geology of the vast territory of the Eurasian continent.

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems (G3) publishes research papers on the chemistry, physics, and biology of Earth and planetary processes. Articles should be of broad interest and interdisciplinary approaches are encouraged, but not required. G3 seeks original scientific contributions pertaining to understanding the Earth as a system, including observational, experimental, and theoretical investigations of the solid Earth, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere at all spatial and temporal scales.Areas of interest for this peer-reviewed journal include, but are not limited to:The physics and chemistry of the Earth, including its structure, composition, physical properties, dynamics, and evolutionPrinciples and applications of geochemical proxies to studies of Earth historyThe physical properties, composition, and temporal evolution of the Earth's major reservoirs and the coupling between themThe dynamics of geochemical and biogeochemical cycles at all spatial and temporal scalesPhysical and cosmochemical constraints on the composition, origin, and evolution of the Earth and other terrestrial planetsThe chemistry and physics of solar system materials that are relevant to the formation, evolution, and current state of the Earth and the planetsAdvances in modeling, observation, and experimentation that are of widespread interest in the geosciencesG3 is an online only journal and strives to be at the cutting edge of electronic publishing by encouraging the innovative use of data analysis and visualization formats. The journal also encourages authors to work with the editors and AGU to develop new and innovative means of electronic communication.

Geochemistry: Exploration, Environment, Analysis focuses on the use of geochemistry in mineral exploration/resource development and environmental issues related to mining.

Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta publishes research papers in a wide range of subjects in terrestrial geochemistry, meteoritics, and planetary geochemistry. The scope of the journal includes:1). Physical chemistry of gases, aqueous solutions, glasses, and crystalline solids2). Igneous and metamorphic petrology3). Chemical processes in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and lithosphere of the Earth4). Organic geochemistry5). Isotope geochemistry6). Meteoritics and meteorite impacts7). Lunar science; and8).

• digital mapping methods.

Its aims to promote discussion between the various disciplines that work on the dynamics of the lithosphere and hydrosphere.There are no constraints over themes provided the main thrust of the paper relates to Earth's internal and external geodynamics. In addition Special Issues devoted to a single topic, and edited by an authority in that field, are also published.
