Journal Guide

The AAPG Bulletin is a technical journal that is recognized in the industry as the leading peer-reviewed publication for information on geoscience and the associated technology of the energy industry. The Bulletin is received monthly online or in print by all members.

The journal publishes original research papers in the field of geodesy and geophysics under headings: aeronomy and space physics, electromagnetic studies, geodesy and gravimetry, geodynamics, geomathematics, rock physics, seismology, solid earth physics, history. Papers dealing with problems of the Carpathian region and its surroundings are preferred. Similarly, papers on topics traditionally covered by Hungarian geodesists and geophysicists (e.g. robust estimations, geoid, EM properties of the Earth’s crust, geomagnetic pulsations and seismological risk) are especially welcome.

Acta Montanistica Slovaca publishes high quality articles on basic and applied research in such fields as geology and geological survey, mining, earth resources, underground engineering and geotechnics, mining mechanization, mining transport, deep hole drilling, surveying and engineering geodesy, ecotechnology and mineralurgy, process control, automation and applied informatics in raw materials extraction, utilization and processing, and in other similar fields.

Annales Geophysicae (ANGEO) is the official open access journal of the European Geosciences Union (EGU) in the field of Solar Terrestrial Physics. Annales Geophysicae is an international, multi- and inter-disciplinary scientific journal for the publication of original articles and of short communications (Letters) for the sciences of the Sun-Earth system, including the science of Space Weather, the Solar-Terrestrial plasma physics, and the Earth's atmosphere, as specified in one or more of the following fields: Solar Corona and Heliosphere: Physics and dynamics of the solar atmosphere, chromosphere and corona (including emissions, ejections and magnetic activity), interplanetary, heliospheric and solar wind physics; Magnetosphere and Space Plasma Physics: Plasma physics of the interaction between the solar wind and the Earth or with other magnetized or un-magnetized planetary environments; physics of the terrestrial and planetary magnetospheres, including in-situ or remote-sensing active plasma experiments; Ionosphere and Aeronomy: Physics and aeronomy of the ionospheres and exospheres of the Earth and planets, including auroral activity, middle-, low-latitude and equatorial ionosphere, geomagnetism and magnetic activity; Middle and Upper Atmosphere: Physics, dynamics, chemistry and aeronomy of the middle and upper atmosphere of the Earth; Lower Atmosphere and Climate: Physical and chemical processes of the troposphere; atmospheric boundary layer and surface processes; meteorology and climate variation;Annales Geophysicae is published monthly and offers:Regular Issues* Free online access for readers, moderate service charges for authors;* All papers peer-reviewed by two referees to international standards;* No limit on page numbers, other than that the length should be appropriate to the significance;* No extra charges for colour figures."AnGeo Communicates" * Aims to provide a medium for short reports (up to 4 published pages) of new significant results; * Rapid publication ensured by only one referee review; * Free online access for readers, moderate service charges for authors.Special Issues and Special Topics: * Special issues (or special topics in a regular issue) can be organised on relevant topics of particular interest; Article length is limited to 12 pages; * Free online access for readers, moderate service charges for authors; No extra charges for colour figures; * Efforts for ensuring a publication as quickly as possible (9-10 months usual, down to 6 months for very special cases).

Applied Clay Science is an international publication medium for research papers, reviews, and resource and technical notes in the field of applied clay science and technology in a broad sense.The journal covers items such as:- Clay characterisation related to optimum industrial utilisation- Clay product preparation, including such topics as mineral extraction, mineral processing and modification of clay properties- Chemical, mineralogical, geochemical and physical properties and behaviour of clay minerals related to applications in the industrial production of: ceramics, construction materials, refractories, fillers and carriers (paper, paint, rubber, plastics, insecticides, animal food)- The role of clays and clay minerals as process aids: catalytic uses, adsorptive applications, filtering and refining media, slurry uses (drilling muds, etc.), bounding and pelletising applications, foundry moulding- Influence of clay composition and fabric on permeability and reservoir properties- Geotechnical applications of clays and clay minerals- Agricultural application such as the influence of clays on soil structure, fertility and water requirements- Environmental applications of clay science such as radioactive waste disposal, and water engineering- Justifications of quality requirements of clays and clay minerals.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Genetics and Molecular Research (GMR) is a peer-reviewed, all-electronic journal available at no charge to readers via the Internet on the FUNPEC-RP (Ribeirão Preto Foundation for Research) website (www.funpecrp.com.br). The overall aim of GMR is to publish original, outstanding research papers in the areas of Genetics, Molecular Biology and Evolution.GMR has been launched to agilize the process of publication and to make these publications readily available to the scientific community. The editorial staff at GMR maintains the same structure and procedures as the print journals that it has worked with previously, but with reduced costs due to the elimination of printing and mailing. Further, the lead time to publication is considerably reduced. After extensive consultation with scientists, financing institutions and indexing agencies we decided that there was a need for a high-quality electronic journal accessible at no charge to anyone, anywhere, at anytime. .

Basin Research is an international journal which aims to publish original, high impact research papers on sedimentary basin systems. We view integrated, interdisciplinary research as being essential for the advancement of the subject area; therefore, we do not seek manuscripts focused purely on sedimentology, structural geology, or geophysics that have a natural home in specialist journals. Rather, we seek manuscripts that treat sedimentary basins as multi-component systems that require a multi-faceted approach to advance our understanding of their development. During deposition and subsidence we are concerned with large-scale geodynamic processes, heat flow, fluid flow, strain distribution, seismic and sequence stratigraphy, modelling, burial and inversion histories. In addition, we view the development of the source area, in terms of drainage networks, climate, erosion, denudation and sediment routing systems as vital to sedimentary basin systems. The underpinning requirement is that a contribution should be of interest to earth scientists of more than one discipline.
