Journal Guide

The objective of the Boletin de la Sociedad Geológica Mexicana is to disseminate technical and scientific works related to Geology in Mexico. The bulletin publishes articles related to the different disciplines of the Earth Sciences with emphasis on studies developed in the Mexican territory and description of new methodologies. Topics being favored comprise: Regional Geology, Metalogenesis and mineral deposits, Geology of hydrocarbons deposits, Stratigraphy, Geophysics, Geochemistry, Volcanology, Tectonics, Structural Geology and Geology of the Quaternary age. The journal also accepts original works such as short communications, book reviews, and divulgation articles as well as revision works of interest for the field.

Boreas has been published since 1972. Articles of wide international interest from all branches of Quaternary research are published. Biological as well as non-biological aspects of the Quaternary environment, in both glaciated and non-glaciated areas, are dealt with: Climate, shore displacement, glacial features, landforms, sediments, organisms and their habitat, and stratigraphical and chronological relationships. Anticipated international interest, at least within a continent or a considerable part of it, is a main criterion for the acceptance of papers. Besides articles, short items like discussion contributions and book reviews are published.

The Bulletin of Canadian Petroleum Geology is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published four times a year and sent internationally to 3,500 geologists and subscribers.

The Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment reports on the investigation, study and solution of engineering and environmental problems arising from the interaction between geology and the activities of humanity, as well as measures for the prevention or remediation of geological hazards. This is the official journal of the International Association for Engineering Geology and the Environment. The journal discusses the geomorphology, structure, stratigraphy, lithology and ground water conditions of geological formations; characterisation of the mineralogical, physico-geomechanical, chemical and hydraulic properties of earth materials involved in construction, resource recovery and environmental change; assessment of the mechanical and hydrological behaviour of soil and rock masses; prediction of changes to the above properties with time; determination of the parameters to be considered in analyzing the stability of engineering works and earth masses; maintenance of the environmental condition and p

Online publications grouped under the aegis "Geoscience e-Journals" (a former web ring converted into a genuine portal) incorporate those peer-reviewed electronic journals dedicated to open access publishing in the field of Earth Sciences (geochemistry, geophysics, paleontology, regional geology, stratigraphy, geography, etc.), that is those e-journals that permit free online access to all or at least a major part of their current issue and/or archives.

This journal provides a forum for the exchanges of ideas on all aspects of carbonate and evaporite geology. In addition to professional papers, Carbonates and Evaporites features reports from meetings, news from societies, letters to the editor, and a regular book review section. Of interest to professionals and students alike, Carbonates and Evaporites will be a useful and interesting addition to any geological library.

Chemical Geology (including Isotope Geoscience) is an international journal that publishes original research papers on the isotopic and elemental geochemistry and geochronology of the Earth. The Journal is concerned with chemical processes in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary petrology, low- and high-temperature aqueous solutions, biogeochemistry and the environment.Papers that are field, experimentally, or computationally based are all appropriate providing they are of broad international interest. The Journal also welcomes innovative papers dealing with significant analytical advances that are of wide interest in the community and extend significantly beyond the scope of what would be included in the methods section of a standard research paper.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Continental Shelf Research publishes articles dealing with the physical oceanography, sedimentology, geology, chemistry, biology and ecology of the shallow marine environment, from coastal and estuarine water out to the shelf break. Papers that are published present results from both fundamental, original research as well as applied, or directed research.Emphasis is placed on interdisciplinary process-oriented contributions, and encouragement is given to the publication of the results of innovative experimental studies with more general applicability.Continental Shelf Research publishes occasional review articles. It also includes a section on Notes, Instrumentation and Methods. Furthermore, papers are open for written discussion for up to three months following publication and both the discussion and the author's response are published.Continental Shelf Research also publishes special issues dedicated to results of large interdisciplinary studies or topical issues on specific subjects.Note to Authors: When considering submission of a manuscript to CSR, bear in mind that recent analyses show that published papers are downloaded by scientists from over 90 countries world-wide. This level of usage emphasizes the need for authors to present their research results in a broad context, to be of interest to this international community. Likewise, when suggesting the four reviewers for a manuscript, an international perspective of individual scientists (not necessarily affiliated with CSR) should be considered.

Cretaceous Research provides a forum for the rapid publication of research on all aspects of the Cretaceous Period, including its boundaries with the Jurassic and Tertiary. Authoritative papers reporting detailed investigations of Cretaceous stratigraphy and palaeontology, studies of regional geology, and reviews of recently published books are complemented by short communications of significant new findings.Papers submitted to Cretaceous Research should place the research in a broad context, with emphasis placed towards our better understanding of the Cretaceous, that are therefore of interest to the diverse, international readership of the journal. Full length papers that focus solely on a local theme or area will not be accepted for publication; authors of short communications are encouraged to discuss how their findings are of relevance to the Cretaceous on a broad scale.Research Areas include:• Regional geology• Stratigraphy and palaeontology• Palaeobiology• Palaeobiogeography• Palaeomagnetism and geophysics• Geochronology• Global events (K/Pg boundary)• Oil exploration and petroleum geology.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
