Earth-Science Reviews

期刊简介：Covering a much wider field than the usual specialist journals, Earth Science Reviews publishes review articles dealing with all aspects of Earth Sciences, and is an important vehicle for allowing readers to see their particular interest related to the Earth Sciences as a whole. Our readership is more diverse than that of specialist journals: as well as research scientists, also students, government agencies involved in programme support and management and in environmental assessment and control, private industries concerned with planetary resources, and the independent consultant. The journal's vision includes ensuring accessibility for all of these groups.Every review article published will advance existing knowledge and highlight new directions being taken at the forefront of expanding subject areas by synthesis, evaluation and discussion of previously published literature. The value of such articles to the readership is increased with comment and opinion provided by the author from a specific context. Authors may further enhance their article with the addition of supplementary material such as videos, datasets and applications.Articles may be extensive, providing comprehensive coverage of a relatively broad or cross-disciplinary subject area, or they may be much shorter providing an in-depth overview of a very specific topic, and authors may choose to include a proportion of their own primary research data to support their arguments. From time to time, 'Invited Earth-Science Reviews' will be published about topics of exceptional interest.

【译文】涵盖比一般专业期刊更广泛的领域，地球科学评论发表关于地球科学所有方面的综述文章，是读者了解地球科学整体及其特定兴趣的重要途径。我们的读者群体比专业期刊更多元化：包括研究科学家、学生、参与项目支持和管理的政府机构、涉及行星资源的私营行业以及独立顾问。期刊的愿景包括确保所有这些群体都能获得可访问性。每篇发表的综述文章都将通过综合、评估和讨论先前发表的文献，推进现有知识并突出在扩展学科领域前沿的新方向。作者从特定背景提供的评论和观点增加了这些文章对读者的价值。作者还可以通过添加补充材料如视频、数据集和应用来进一步丰富他们的文章。文章可能非常广泛，提供相对广泛或跨学科主题领域的全面覆盖，或者可能非常简短，提供对非常具体主题的深入概述，作者可以选择包括一部分自己的原始研究数据来支持他们的论点。不定期地，将出版关于特别感兴趣主题的‘特邀地球科学评论’。
