5 Year impact factor: 7
Impact factor: 6.1

Geoderma - The Global Journal of Soil Science - welcomes authors, readers and soil research from all parts of the world, encourages worldwide soil studies, and embraces all aspects of soil science and its associated pedagogy. The journal particularly welcomes interdisciplinary work focusing on dynamic soil processes and functions across space and time. Geoderma aims to stimulate cooperation and understanding among workers in the different fields of soil science by bringing together papers from the entire field of soil research rather than emphasizing any single sub-discipline. The journal publishes primary studies, reviews as well as scientific correspondence with respect to all types of soils, including agricultural, forest, and urban soils. In order to facilitate extrapolation of published results, the journal strongly encourages the authors to include a soil classification according to the World Reference Base for Soil Resources and, if appropriate, a published national classification system. In order to avoid author disappointment as a result of rapid desk rejections, a series of blogs (Top tips to avoid desk rejection) on the most common reasons for desk rejection is available on the journal's page. It is strongly encouraged to study them carefully before submitting to Geoderma.

Geoderma Regional

ISSN: 2352-0094
5 Year impact factor: 3.9
Impact factor: 4.1

Global issues require studies and solutions at national and regional levels. Geoderma Regional aims to publish research that contributes to advancing our knowledge on soils in all regions of the world. Soils formed in different pedo-climatic zones present unique aspects and complexities. Large regional variations in soil characteristics, usage, and challenges to soil health underpin the importance of addressing local soil concerns and implementing region-specific strategies for sustainable soil management. The journal embraces regional perspectives in soil science, promotes interdisciplinary work, and encourages the adoption of appropriate soil classifications. This reflects our commitment to fostering a comprehensive understanding of soils worldwide and enabling the development of sustainable solutions tailored to regional needs. In order for the journal to ensure the applicability and generalizability of published regional research, Geoderma Regional requires all submissions to include descriptions of the investigated soils following either the latest editions of either IUSS World Reference Base for Soil Resources or USDA Soil Taxonomy. Additionally, but not exclusively, authors can include an equivalent or equate to a local classification where available in order to also cater for the regional readers. Geoderma Regional encourages (but is not limited to) studies that provide scientific progress on: Land use and/or climate change and its impacts on soil and ecosystem properties, processes, and functions, Anthropogenic alterations of soil biogeochemical cycles, otic and abiotic interactions in the soil system (plant-soil-pedo-fauna/microbial community-atmosphere), Delineation of soil properties, processes and patterns in all regions and their implications for our general understanding of soil systems and their sustainable use, Implementation of experimentally assessed knowledge of soil processes into modelling frameworks. The following topics are discouraged unless they provide new and relevant information complementing our core subject areas: Inventories, survey analyses, and case studies with no implications for improving our knowledge of soils in general or regionally, or devoid of scientific novelty, Impact assessment and environmental/compliance monitoring investigations, Studies that are exclusively greenhouse- or laboratory-based, Studies on methods development or pure model/method comparisons, Studies focusing mainly on agronomy, plant production, socio-economy, or politics without clarifying the relevance and links to soil properties or soil process understanding.

Geomatica

ISSN: 1195-1036

Affiliated with the Canadian Institute of Geomatics Geomatica is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed open access journal which aims to cover all aspects of geomatic sciences, including earth observations, geographic information sciences (GIS), geodesy and global positioning system (GPS), surveying and mapping, global navigation satellite system (GNSS), cadaster and law, hydrography, remote sensing, and photogrammetry. The Journal is committed to publishing innovative, quality research from a wide variety of perspectives and diverse data. Theoretical, algorithmic, experimental, and methodological aspects which contribute to the geomatic sciences and allied technologies (e.g., GeoAI), as well as novel applications to the atmosphere, biosphere, cryosphere, terrestrial domains at global to local scales, and within specific niche areas, are also within the scope of Geomatica. The Journal welcomes contributions on geomatics pedagogy, as well as submissions from the social sciences and humanities that leverage geospatial information. The Journal aims to be a communication channel for researchers, scientists, and professionals across the world. The Journal welcomes four types of contributions: Original Research Articles should describe important, significant new results or methods that will advance geomatics or any discipline(s) that uses geospatial information. Review Articles should provide a thorough review of the current state-of-the-art of an important subject in geomatics, by providing insights and perspectives on the trends, with a synthesis of previous work beyond literature compilation or bibliometric studies. Short Communications are intended to publish significant new techniques, data, or results in a timely manner where expansion to a full-length paper (e.g., 4000 words), may cause a delay in their availability to the research or user community. Tutorial papers are intended to publish new techniques in the form of tutorial articles in the field/sub-field.

Geomechanics for Energy and the Environment

ISSN: 2352-3808
5 Year impact factor: 5
Impact factor: 5.1

The aim of the Journal is to publish research results of the highest quality and of lasting importance on the subject of geomechanics, with the focus on applications to geological energy production and storage, and the interaction of soils and rocks with the natural and engineered environment. Special attention is given to concepts and developments of new energy geotechnologies that comprise intrinsic mechanisms protecting the environment against a potential engineering induced damage, hence warranting sustainable usage of energy resources.The scope of the journal is broad, including fundamental concepts in geomechanics and mechanics of porous media, the experiments and analysis of novel phenomena and applications. Of special interest are issues resulting from coupling of particular physics, chemistry and biology of external forcings, as well as of pore fluid/gas and minerals to the solid mechanics of the medium skeleton and pore fluid mechanics. The multi-scale and inter-scale interactions between the phenomena and the behavior representations are also of particular interest. Contributions to general theoretical approach to these issues, but of potential reference to geomechanics in its context of energy and the environment are also most welcome. The purpose of the Journal is to foster scientific understanding of various processes in geomaterials, both induced by technology and natural, and their relationship to the underlying mechanisms. The intrinsic nature of coupling of chemical, biological, thermal and mechanical properties, variables and fields distinguishes the related problems from those in classical geomechanics. Thus, emphasis is placed on the development and fusion of fundamental concepts in mechanics, physics, geochemistry and geo-biology and applications of such concepts to novel technologies related to geological energy production and storage as well as to the prevention of the damage to the environment, in which solid and fluid mechanics of geomaterials is of relevance.
