Imformations for author
Authors are asked to submit new manuscripts online through the Editorial Manager http://www.geoscience.net.cn/journalx_xddz/authorLogOn.action, where they can track their manuscripts from submission through publication.
Papers submitted to the GEOSCIENCE must not have been published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere.
Papers submitted to the GEOSCIENCE should not, for the most part, contain previously reported material. The overlap of contents between related papers should be kept to a minimum and normally should be confined to introductory/review sections.
One author will act as the corresponding author for multi-authored manuscripts. All authors involved in the work approved the paper and agreed to its submission. All authors must verify their information and involvement when the paper is submitted (an email is sent through the Editorial Manager system).
Papers are reviewed for technical merit, quality of scientific content, and utility of the results for practicing geologists. Two or more referees review Articles, E&P Notes, Geologic Notes, and Geohorizons papers; Discussions and Replies are reviewed by an assigned Associate Editor and possibly by one or more referee.
Reviewers are asked to treat papers as confidential material.
The GEOSCIENCE Editor's judgment with respect to suitability for publication is final.
GEOSCIENCE is responsible for page layout and figure sizing for all accepted papers.
All papers accepted for publication will be asked to pay voluntary charges of ￥300 per page.
