Journal Guide

Journal of Geophysical Research (JGR) publishes original scientific research on the physical, chemical, and biological processes that contribute to the understanding of the Earth, Sun, and solar system and all of their environments and components. JGR is currently organized into seven disciplinary sections (Atmospheres, Biogeosciences, Earth Surface, Oceans, Planets, Solid Earth, Space Physics). Sections may be added or combined in response to changes in the science.

The journal, which is published nine times a year, encompasses the entire range of metamorphic studies, from the scale of the individual crystal to that of lithospheric plates, including regional studies of metamorphic terranes, modelling of metamorphic processes, microstructural and deformation studies in relation to metamorphism, geochronology and geochemistry in metamorphic systems, the experimental study of metamorphic reactions, properties of metamorphic minerals and rocks and the economic aspects of metamorphic terranes.

Neues Jahrbuch für Mineralogie (Abhandlungen) publishes thorough, detailed studies of up to 30 printed pages as well as short and concise papers and notes (less than 15 printed pages) on mineralogy, i.e. crystallography, crystal chemistry, petrology, geochemistry and economic mineralogy (mineral deposits).All papers are subject to peer review and will be published with the least possible delay within about 6-8 months after having been accepted by the Editor. No page charges are levied on regular papers. Neues Jahrbuch für Mineralogie also publishes topical issues and thematic sections. Authors interested in contributing are encouraged to get in contact with the editors.Beginning with 2005, Neues Jahrbuch für Mineralogy (Abhandlungen) publish all papers formerly submitted to the two subjournals Abhandlungen and Monatshefte. It is published online and in print in the large format 21x28 cm (8.3 x 11"), i.e. twice the content than in the previous small format.2-3 volumes of Neues Jahrbuch für Mineralogie (Abhandlungen) are published per annum. Subscription to Neues Jahrbuch für Mineralogie Abhandlungen includes free access to the online version of the journal, hosted by Ingentaconnect. All published contributions are in the English language. .

The Journal of Petrology provides an international forum for the publication of high quality research in the broad field of igneous and metamorphic petrology and petrogenesis. Papers published cover a vast range of topics in areas such as major element, trace element and isotope geochemistry and geochronology applied to petrogenesis; experimental petrology; processes of magma generation, differentiation and emplacement; quantitative studies of rock-forming minerals and their paragenesis; regional studies of igneous and meta morphic rocks which contribute to the solution of fundamental petrological problems; theoretical modelling of petrogenetic processes.

The Journal of Rare Earths reports studies on the 17 rare earth elements. It is a unique English-language learned journal that publishes works on various aspects of basic theory and applied science in the field of rare earths (RE). The journal accepts original high-quality original research papers and review articles with inventive content, and complete experimental data. It represents high academic standards and new progress in the RE field. Due to the advantage of abundant RE resources of China, the research on RE develops very actively, and papers on the latest progress in this field emerge every year. It is not only an important resource in which technicians publish and obtain their latest research results on RE, but also an important way of reflecting the updated progress in RE research field.The Journal of Rare Earths covers all research and application of RE rare earths including spectroscopy, luminescence and phosphors, rare earth catalysis, magnetism and magnetic materials, advanced rare earth materials, RE chemistry & hydrometallurgy, RE metallography & pyrometallurgy, RE new materials, RE solid state physics & solid state chemistry, rare earth applications, RE analysis & test, RE geology & ore dressing, etc.
