Journal Title：Frontiers In Earth Science

Frontiers in Earth Science is an open-access journal that aims to bring together and publish on a single platform the best research dedicated to our planet.

This platform hosts the rapidly growing and continuously expanding domains in Earth Science, involving the lithosphere (including the geosciences spectrum), the hydrosphere (including marine geosciences and hydrology, complementing the existing Frontiers journal on Marine Science) and the atmosphere (including meteorology and climatology). As such, Frontiers in Earth Science focuses on the countless processes operating within and among the major spheres constituting our planet. In turn, the understanding of these processes provides the theoretical background to better use the available resources and to face the major environmental challenges (including earthquakes, tsunamis, eruptions, floods, landslides, climate changes, extreme meteorological events): this is where interdependent processes meet, requiring a holistic view to better live on and with our planet.

The journal welcomes outstanding contributions in any domain of Earth Science.

The open-access model developed by Frontiers offers a fast, efficient, timely and dynamic alternative to traditional publication formats. The journal has 20 specialty sections at the first tier, each acting as an independent journal with a full editorial board. The traditional peer-review process is adapted to guarantee fairness and efficiency using a thorough paperless process, with real-time author-reviewer-editor interactions, collaborative reviewer mandates to maximize quality, and reviewer disclosure after article acceptance. While maintaining a rigorous peer-review, this system allows for a process whereby accepted articles are published online on average 90 days after submission.

General Commentary articles as well as Book Reviews in Frontiers in Earth Science are only accepted upon invitation.

《地球科學(xué)前沿》是一本開(kāi)放獲取期刊，旨在匯集和發(fā)表針對(duì)我們地球的最佳研究成果，并將其發(fā)布在一個(gè)平臺(tái)上。

該平臺(tái)涵蓋了地球科學(xué)領(lǐng)域中快速增長(zhǎng)和不斷擴(kuò)展的內(nèi)容，涉及巖石圈（包括地球科學(xué)光譜）、水圈（包括海洋地球科學(xué)和水文學(xué)，補(bǔ)充現(xiàn)有的海洋科學(xué)前沿期刊）和大氣（包括氣象學(xué)和氣候?qū)W）。因此，《地球科學(xué)前沿》專(zhuān)注于構(gòu)成我們星球的主要圈內(nèi)和圈間運(yùn)行的無(wú)數(shù)過(guò)程。反過(guò)來(lái)，對(duì)這些過(guò)程的理解為更好地利用現(xiàn)有資源和應(yīng)對(duì)重大環(huán)境挑戰(zhàn)（包括地震、海嘯、火山爆發(fā)、洪水、山體滑坡、氣候變化、極端氣象事件）提供了理論背景：這是相互依存的過(guò)程相遇的地方，需要整體的視角來(lái)更好地生活在地球上。

該期刊歡迎地球科學(xué)任何領(lǐng)域的杰出貢獻(xiàn)。

Frontiers 開(kāi)發(fā)的開(kāi)放獲取模式為傳統(tǒng)出版格式提供了一種快速、高效、及時(shí)和動(dòng)態(tài)的替代方案。該期刊在第一層有 20 個(gè)專(zhuān)業(yè)部分，每個(gè)部分都是一個(gè)獨(dú)立的期刊，擁有完整的編輯委員會(huì)。傳統(tǒng)的同行評(píng)審流程經(jīng)過(guò)調(diào)整，使用徹底的無(wú)紙化流程來(lái)保證公平和效率，具有實(shí)時(shí)的作者-審稿人-編輯互動(dòng)、協(xié)作審稿人授權(quán)以最大限度地提高質(zhì)量，以及文章接受后的審稿人披露。在保持嚴(yán)格的同行評(píng)審的同時(shí)，該系統(tǒng)允許在提交后平均 90 天內(nèi)在線發(fā)表已接受的文章。

《地球科學(xué)前沿》中的一般評(píng)論文章以及書(shū)評(píng)僅應(yīng)邀請(qǐng)接受。

Frontiers In Earth Science創(chuàng)刊于2013年，由Frontiers Media S.A.出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋Earth and Planetary Sciences - General Earth and Planetary Sciences全領(lǐng)域，此刊是中等級(jí)別的SCI期刊，所以過(guò)審相對(duì)來(lái)講不是特別難，但是該刊專(zhuān)業(yè)認(rèn)可度不錯(cuò)，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 12 Weeks ，影響因子指數(shù)2，該期刊近期被列入國(guó)際期刊預(yù)警名單，請(qǐng)廣大學(xué)者慎重選擇。
