Frontiers in Earth Science

期刊简介：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.

【译文】地球科学前沿是一本开放获取的期刊，旨在将关于我们星球的最佳研究汇集并发布在一个平台上。该平台托管地球科学快速增长的不断扩大的领域，包括地壳（包括地球科学范围）、水圈（包括海洋地球科学和水文学，补充现有的《海洋科学》前沿期刊）和大气圈（包括气象学和气候学）。因此，地球科学前沿专注于我们星球构成的主要圈层内和之间的无数过程。反过来，对这些过程的理解为更好地利用现有资源以及应对主要环境挑战（包括地震、海啸、火山爆发、洪水、滑坡、气候变化、极端气象事件）提供了理论基础：这就是相互依赖的过程相遇的地方，需要整体视角来更好地生活在这个星球上。该期刊欢迎地球科学任何领域的杰出贡献。Frontiers开发的开放获取模式为传统出版格式提供了一个快速、高效、及时且动态的替代方案。该期刊在第一级设有20个专业部门，每个部门都作为一个拥有完整编辑委员会的独立期刊。传统的同行评审流程经过调整，以确保公平和效率，使用彻底的无纸化流程，实现作者-审稿人-编辑的实时互动，协作审稿人指令以最大化质量，并在文章接受后进行审稿人披露。在保持严格的同行评审的同时，该系统允许一个过程，即接受的文章在提交后平均90天内在线发布。地球科学前沿的通用评论文章以及书籍评论仅接受邀请。
