Journal Title：Geosphere

Geosphere is GSA's ambitious, online-only publication that addresses the growing need for timely publication of research results, data, software, and educational developments in ways that cannot be addressed by traditional formats. The journal's rigorously peer-reviewed, high-quality research papers target an international audience in all geoscience fields. Its innovative format encourages extensive use of color, animations, interactivity, and oversize figures (maps, cross sections, etc.), and provides easy access to resources such as GIS databases, data archives, and modeling results. Geosphere's broad scope and variety of contributions is a refreshing addition to traditional journals.

Geosphere 是 GSA 的雄心勃勃的在線出版物，旨在滿足日益增長的及時發布研究成果、數據、軟件和教育發展的需求，而傳統格式無法滿足這種需求。該期刊經過嚴格的同行評審，其高質量的研究論文面向所有地球科學領域的國際讀者。其創新格式鼓勵廣泛使用顏色、動畫、交互性和超大圖形（地圖、橫截面等），并可輕松訪問 GIS 數據庫、數據檔案和建模結果等資源。Geosphere 的廣泛范圍和各種貢獻為傳統期刊增添了新鮮感。

Geosphere創刊于2005年，由Geological Society of America出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋地學 - 地球科學綜合全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 較慢,6-12周 ，影響因子指數1.7，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
