Journal Guide

Aims & ScopeGeoJournal is an international journal devoted to all branches of spatially integrated social sciences and humanities. This long standing journal is committed to publishing cutting-edge, innovative, original and timely research from around the world and across the whole spectrum of social sciences and humanities that have an explicit geographical/spatial component, in particular in GeoJournal’s six major areas:- Economic and Development Geography- Social and Political Geography- Cultural and Historical Geography- Health and Medical Geography- Environmental Geography and Sustainable Development - Legal/Ethical Geography and Policy

In addition to research papers GeoJournal publishes reviews as well as shorter articles in the form of research notes, commentaries, and reports. Submissions should demonstrate original and substantive contributions to social science and humanities from a geographical perspective. Submissions on emerging new fields such as GeoEthics, Neogeography, Digital Humanities and other emerging topics are also welcome.

GeoJournal’s focus makes the journal essential reading for human geographers working in these areas, as well as for researchers from other disciplines, such as sociology, economics, political science, demography, environmental studies, urban planning, history, and cultural studies.

Last but not least, GeoJournal encourages feedbacks and discussions on articles published in the journal through letters to the editor.

GeoJournal is published bi-monthly in February, April, June, August, October and December.

The Geoheritage journal is an international journal dedicated to discussing all aspects of our global geoheritage, both in situ and portable. The journal will invite all contributions on the conservation of sites and materials - use, protection and practical heritage management - as well as its interpretation through education, training and tourism. The journal wishes to cover all aspects of geoheritage and its protection. Key topics are: - Identification, characterisation, quantification and management of geoheritage: - Geodiversity and geosites: - On-site science, geological and geomorphological research: - Global scientific heritage - key scientific geosites, GSSPs, stratotype conservation and management: - Scientific research and education, and the promotion of the geosciences thereby: - Conventions, statute and legal instruments, national and international: - Integration of biodiversity and geodiversity in nature conservation and land-use policies: - Geological heritage and Environmental Impact Assessment studies: - Geological heritage, sustainable development, community action, practical initiatives and tourism: - Geoparks: creation, management and outputs: - Conservation in the natural world, Man-made and natural impacts, climate change: - Geotourism definitions, methodologies, and case studies: - International mechanisms for conservation and popularisation - World Heritage Sites, National Parks etc.: - Materials, data and people important in the history of science, museums, collections and all portable geoheritage: - Education and training of geoheritage specialists: - Pedagogical use of geological heritage - publications, teaching media, trails, centres, on-site museums: - Linking the Un, ited Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005- 2014) with geoconservation.

Geometriae Dedicata concentrates on geometry and its relationship to topology, group theory and the theory of dynamical systems. It aims to be a vehicle for excellent publications in geometry and related areas. The journal features special issues centered on specific topics of interest. Geometriae Dedicata was founded in 1972 on the initiative of Hans Freudenthal in Utrecht, the Netherlands, who viewed geometry as a method rather than as a field. The present Board of Editors tries to continue in this spirit. The steady growth of the journal since its foundation is witness to the validity of the founder's vision and to the success of the Editors' mission.

Geosciences Journal, founded in 1997, is an international journal which publishes geoscientific research articles in English. This journal is published quarterly by the Association of Korean Geoscience Societies which is established jointly by The Geological Society of Korea, Korea Society of Economic and Environmental Geology, The Korean Earth Science Society, The Paleontological Society of Korea, The Mineralogical Society of Korea, Korean Society of Engineering Geology, The Korean Society of Petroleum Geology, Korean Society of Soil and Groundwater Environment, The Petrological Society of Korea and Korea Geophysical Society. Geosciences Journal is co-published with Springer from 2008

Geotechnical and Geological Engineering publishes papers in the areas of soil and rock engineering and also of geology as applied in the civil engineering, mining and petroleum industries. The emphasis is on the engineering aspects of soil and rock mechanics, geology and hydrogeology, although papers on theoretical and experimental advances in ground mechanics are also welcomed for inclusion.The journal encompasses a broad spectrum of geo-engineering although several areas have been identified which will be given particular priority: Soil and rock engineering: Foundation engineering: Applied geology for design and construction: Geo-environmental engineering: Earthquake engineering and dynamic behavior of soils and rocks: Geohazards and mitigation: Mining engineering: Geotechnical aspects of petroleum engineering: Information technology applications in geo-engineering: Novel geotechnical construction techniques: Case histories describing important geo-engineering projects. Geotechnical and Geological Engineering publishes contributions in the form of original and review papers, or as short technical notes. A Book Review section informs the discerning reader of the type and quality of literature available to the geotechnical engineer and engineering geologist.

Glass and Ceramics reports on advances in basic and applied research and plant production techniques in glass and ceramics. The journal's broad coverage includes developments in the areas of silicate chemistry, mineralogy and metallurgy, crystal chemistry, solid state reactions, raw materials, phase equilibria, reaction kinetics, physicochemical analysis, physics of dielectrics, and refractories, among others. Glass and Ceramics is a translation of the peer-reviewed Russian journal Steklo i Keramika. The Russian Volume Year is published in English from April.

This journal brings together research that informs the fields of global social work, social development, and social welfare policy and practice. It serves as an outlet for manuscripts and brief reports of interdisciplinary applied research which advance knowledge about global threats to the well-being of individuals, groups, families and communities. This research spans the full range of problems including global poverty, food and housing insecurity, economic development, environmental safety, social determinants of health, maternal and child health, mental health, addiction, disease and illness, gender and income inequality, human rights and social justice, access to health care and social resources, strengthening care and service delivery, trauma, crises, and responses to natural disasters, war, violence, population movements and trafficking, war and refugees, immigration/migration, human trafficking, orphans and vulnerable children.  Research that recognizes the significant link between individuals, families and communities and their external environments, as well as the interrelatedness of race, cultural, context and poverty, will be particularly welcome.
