Aims & Scope

The Journal of Geosciences is an international peer-reviewed journal published by the Czech Geological Society with support from the Czech Geological Survey. It accepts high-quality original research or review papers dealing with all aspects of the nature and origin of igneous and metamorphic rocks. The Journal focuses, mainly but not exclusively, on: Process-oriented regional studies of igneous and metamorphic complexes Research in structural geology and tectonics Igneous and metamorphic petrology Mineral chemistry and mineralogy Major- and trace-element geochemistry, isotope geochemistry Dating igneous activity and metamorphic events Experimental petrology and mineralogy Theoretical models of igneous and metamorphic processes Mineralizing processes and mineral deposits All the papers are written in English, even though they may be accompanied by an additional Czech abstract. Each contribution is a subject to peer review by at least two independent reviewers, typically at least one from abroad. The Journal appears 2 to 4 times a year. Formally it is divided in annual volumes, each of them including 4 issues. We strongly believe that a scientific journal, being written, reviewed and edited by the scientists themselves, should be accessible freely to the whole community. Hence we intend the Journal of Geosciences (J. Geosci., ISSN 1802-6222) to be a truly Open Access Journal, offering free Internet access and on line publishing of electronic supplementary materials. There should be no page charges and a liberal policy towards the length of the papers, if justified by their scientific merit. We trust that these features make our Journal an attractive platform to publish.
