Journal Guide

Geoderma - a global journal of soil science - welcomes authors, readers and soil research from all parts of the world, encourages worldwide soil studies, and embraces all aspects of soil science. The Journal particularly welcomes interdisciplinary work focusing on dynamic soil processes and their occurrence in space and time.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Global issues require studies and solutions on national and regional levels. Geoderma Regional focuses on studies that increase understanding and advance our scientific knowledge of soils in all regions of the world. The journal embraces every aspect of soil science and welcomes reviews of regional progress.

Geodesy and Cartography is a peer-reviewed journal publishing original research papers. It publishes papers in the following fields of research:

• study, establishment and improvement of the geodesy and mapping technologies,
• establishing and improving the geodetic networks,
• theoretical and practical principles of developing  standards for geodetic measurements,
• mathematical treatment of the geodetic and photogrammetric measurements,
• controlling and application of the permanent GPS stations,
• study and measurements of Earth’s figure and parameters of the gravity field,
• study and development the geoid models,
• study and measurements of the vertical and horizontal movements of the Earth’s crust,
• geodetic information systems,
• information systems for land management and real estate cadastre,
• cadastral surveying,
• photogrammetric methods in mapping systems,
• 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.

Geodiversitas publie des articles en français et en anglais concernant divers aspects de la recherche en Sciences de la Terre, particulièrement l'histoire des bassins sédimentaires, la paléobiodiversité et les paléoenvironnements. Un numéro de Geodiversitas pourra être consacré au débat contradictoire sur un sujet d'actualité ou sur un thème donné sous la responsabilité d'éditeur(s) invité(s).Geodiversitas fait suite depuis 1997 au Bulletin du Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, section C, Sciences de la Terre.

Geoenergy focuses on the publications of timely and topical research in subsurface geoscience, critical for this new era of sustainable energy. Geoenergy continues the mission of its sister journal Petroleum Geoscience.

The objective of the Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering is to bridge the gap between the engineering, the geology and the science of petroleum and natural gas by publishing explicitly written articles intelligible to scientists and engineers working in any field of petroleum engineering, natural gas engineering and petroleum (natural gas) geology. An attempt is made in all issues to balance the subject matter and to appeal to a broad readership.The Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering covers the fields of petroleum (and natural gas) exploration, production and flow in its broadest possible sense. Topics include: origin and accumulation of petroleum (natural gas); petroleum (natural gas) geochemistry; reservoir engineering; rock mechanics/petrophysics; well logging, testing and evaluation; mathematical modelling; enhanced oil and gas recovery; petroleum (natural gas) geology; compaction/diagenesis; petroleum (natural gas) economics; drilling and drilling fluids; thermodynamics and phase behavior, fluid mechanics in porous media and multi-phase flow; reservoir simulation; production engineering; formation evaluation; exploration methods and C02 Sequestration in geological formations/sub-surface.Papers will be published with the minimum of publication delay. Research articles, case histories, field process reports, short communications, book reviews, symposia proceedings and review articles are accepted. Generally, review articles on some topic of special current interest will be published.

The journal Geofizika succeeds the series Papers, which has been published since 1923 at the Geophysical Institute in Zagreb. Geofizika publishes contributions dealing with physics of the atmosphere, the sea and the Earth's interior. As of 2006 (Vol. 23) the journal is published semiannually. Older volumes were issued annually.The journal is indexed in:Compendex, EMBASE, GeoAbstracts, Geobase, GeoRef, Meteorological and Geoastrophysical Abstracts, Referativnyj Žurnal, Scopus, Science Citation Index Expanded, Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition.

Geofluids provides an international forum for original research into the role of fluids in mineralogical, chemical, and structural evolution of the Earth's crust. Its explicit aim is to disseminate ideas across the range of sub-disciplines in which Geofluids research is carried out. To this end, authors are encouraged to stress the transdisciplinary relevance of their research, and to make their work as accessible as possible to readers from other sub-disciplines. Geofluids emphasizes both chemical and physical aspects of subsurface fluids throughout the Earth's crust (although excluding silicate melts). Geofluids spans studies of groundwater, terrestrial or submarine geothermal fluids, basinal brines, petroleum, metamorphic waters or magmatic fluids. Articles may describe theoretical or observational studies, explore the geologic, geochemical, or geophysical attributes of subsurface fluids, quantify the geologic controls on permeability, geochemical transport and heat transport, or document applied aspects of crustal fluid behaviour. Examples of areas covered include, but are not restricted to:

Geoforum is a leading international, inter-disciplinary journal publishing innovative research and commentary in human geography and related fields. It is global in outlook and integrative in approach. The broad focus of Geoforum is the organisation of economic, political, social and environmental systems through space and over time. Areas of study range from the analysis of the global political economy, through political ecology, national systems of regulation and governance, to urban and regional development, feminist, economic and urban geographies and environmental justice and resources management. Geoforum publishes research articles that are conceptually-led and empirically-grounded, critical reviews of recent research, and editorial interventions. It also features a highly-regarded 'themed issue' format that enables a focused exploration of emergent and/or significant areas of inquiry.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
