Journal Title：Earth-science Reviews

Covering a much wider field than the usual specialist journals, Earth Science Reviews publishes review articles dealing with all aspects of Earth Sciences, and is an important vehicle for allowing readers to see their particular interest related to the Earth Sciences as a whole. Our readership is more diverse than that of specialist journals: as well as research scientists, also students, government agencies involved in programme support and management and in environmental assessment and control, private industries concerned with planetary resources, and the independent consultant. The journal's vision includes ensuring accessibility for all of these groups.

Every review article published will advance existing knowledge and highlight new directions being taken at the forefront of expanding subject areas by synthesis, evaluation and discussion of previously published literature. The value of such articles to the readership is increased with comment and opinion provided by the author from a specific context. Authors may further enhance their article with the addition of supplementary material such as videos, datasets and applications.

Articles may be extensive, providing comprehensive coverage of a relatively broad or cross-disciplinary subject area, or they may be much shorter providing an in-depth overview of a very specific topic, and authors may choose to include a proportion of their own primary research data to support their arguments. From time to time, 'Invited Earth-Science Reviews' will be published about topics of exceptional interest.

《地球科學評論》涵蓋的領域比一般的專業(yè)期刊要廣泛得多，它發(fā)表的評論文章涉及地球科學的各個方面，是讓讀者了解他們對整個地球科學的特定興趣的重要媒介。我們的讀者群比專業(yè)期刊的讀者群更加多樣化：除了研究科學家，還有學生、參與項目支持和管理以及環(huán)境評估和控制的政府機構、關注行星資源的私營企業(yè)以及獨立顧問。該期刊的愿景包括確保所有這些群體都能閱讀。

通過綜合、評估和討論以前發(fā)表的文獻，發(fā)表的每一篇評論文章都將推進現(xiàn)有知識，并突出在擴展學科領域前沿的新方向。作者從特定背景提供的評論和意見會增加此類文章對讀者的價值。作者可以通過添加視頻、數(shù)據(jù)集和應用程序等補充材料來進一步增強其文章。

文章可能很廣泛，全面涵蓋相對廣泛或跨學科的主題領域，也可能很短，對非常具體的主題進行深入概述，作者可以選擇包含一部分自己的主要研究數(shù)據(jù)來支持他們的論點。不時會發(fā)表關于特別感興趣的主題的“受邀地球科學評論”。

Earth-science Reviews創(chuàng)刊于1966年，由Elsevier出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋地學 - 地球科學綜合全領域，在行業(yè)領域中學術影響力很大，屬于TOP期刊，國際一流期刊，關注度和專業(yè)度非常高，所以對原創(chuàng)文章要求創(chuàng)新性很高，過審難度很高，如果您有志于TOP期刊，建議關注此刊。平均審稿速度 較慢,6-12周 約15.1周，影響因子指數(shù)10.8，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
