Aims and Scope

Geochemical Perspectives is an internationally peer-reviewed open access journal that publishes invited contributions from leading scientists in the field of geochemistry.

Each issue of Geochemical Perspectives features a single, in-depth article that explores the past, present, and future of a geochemical field – presented in a clear, accessible way by respected members of our community. The articles bring together important scientific discoveries in these areas with the human and, often, the technological stories behind their development, offering insights directly from leading scientists who contributed to shaping and advancing the field.

Geochemical Perspectives articles are designed to resonate with the entire geochemical community. Although revolving around the core of the science of the field in question, they offer expert, personal viewpoints on how a research area has evolved, where the field stands today, and where it may be headed next.

The overarching goal of Geochemical Perspectives articles is to commit to paper for future generations the history of the field of geochemistry.

Publisher Information

Geochemical Perspectives is published by the European Association of Geochemistry (EAG), a non-profit organization registered in France. The society was officially established in 1985 with the goal of promoting geochemistry internationally and in particular providing a forum for the presentation of geochemistry, exchange of ideas, publications and recognition of scientific excellence.

The European Association of Geochemistry assumes no responsibility for any statement of fact or opinion expressed in the published material.

Publishing Format

Each Geochemical Perspectives article is a single paper (30 000 – 60 000 words) with abundant colour photos and figures.

Articles are published online in PDF format as soon as accepted and typeset. Each article is assigned a unique CrossRef DOI (Digital Object Identifier) and a dedicated page on the Geochemical Perspectives website.

All articles are open access and are freely available in PDF format from Geochemical Perspectives Online. Geochemical Perspectives is also available in html and PDF formats to subscribers of GeoScienceWorld at perspectives.geoscienceworld.org.
