Aims and Scope

eEarth (eE) is an international scientific journal dedicated to the publication and public discussion of short, topical papers in the Earth Sciences. The emphasis is on the solid Earth and the main subject areas include geodynamic processes in the crust, mantle and core of the Earth and terrestrial planets; magmatism, metamorphism and volcanism; the creation, deformation and destruction of lithosphere; fluids, fluxes, and reservoirs of mineral and energy resources; surface processes such as erosion, transport, deposition of sediments and resulting geomorphology; and the response of the Earth to climate change. The length of research articles normally should not exceed four journal pages.

eEarth has an innovative two-stage publication process which involves a scientific discussion forum and exploits the full potential of the Internet to:

• foster scientific discussion;
• enhance the effectiveness and transparency of scientific quality assurance;
• enable rapid publication;
• make scientific publications freely accessible.

In the first stage, papers that pass a rapid access-review by one of the editors are immediately published on the eEarth Discussions (eED) website. They are then subject to interactive public discussion, during which the referees' comments (anonymous or attributed), additional short comments by other members of the scientific community (attributed) and the authors' replies are also published in eED. In the second stage, the peer-review process is completed and, if accepted, the final revised papers are published in eE. To ensure publication precedence for authors, and to provide a lasting record of scientific discussion, eED and eE are both ISSN-registered, permanently archived and fully citable.

Issuing Body

eEarth (eE) and eEarth Discussions (eED) are published by the Copernicus GmbH (Copernicus Publications) on behalf of the European Geosciences Union (EGU).
