How is Geosphere like other broad-based, international journals?
• Geosphere seeks high-quality papers from a broad spectrum of geoscience disciplines. • Review is rigorous. • Papers are copy edited and formatted by GSA’s professional staff. • Geosphere’s goal is a high impact factor. How will it be different? • It is entirely electronic, and the format is extremely flexible. • We encourage innovative approaches to scientific publication. • Review and publication is rapid and devoid of considerations such as arbitrary page limits. • Extensive use of color, animations, and interactivity is encouraged. • Oversize figures (maps, cross sections, seismic sections, etc.) are welcome. • Links to data archives allow for the presentation and preservation of basic data, images, etc. • The journal will evolve with technological advances, and synergy with other GSA publications and those of its affiliated societies will be maintained. In order to maintain rapid turnaround on papers that are submitted for consideration, authors are urged to edit their papers car
