Journal Guide

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.

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). Planetary geochemistry.If you would like more information about the Geochemical Society and Meteoritical Society, visit their Home Pages at http://www.geochemsoc.org and http://www.meteoriticalsociety.orgBenefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

The enormously successful series is now published jointly by the Mineralogical Society of America and The Geochemical Society. Volumes 1-38 were published as "Reviews in Mineralogy" (ISSN 0275-0279). Volumes 1-6 originally appeared as "Short Course Notes" (no ISSN). The name was changed to "Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry" (RiMG) (ISSN 1529-6466) starting with Volume 39. Paul Ribbe was sole editor for volumes 1-41. He was joined by Jodi J. Rosso as series editor for volumes 42-53 in the RiMG series submitted through the Geochemistry Society. With his retirement, Jodi Rosso is now the sole editor for the series.
