Main topics of the journal cover a wide range of problems in paleogeodynamics, modern geodynamics, structural geology, tectonics, tectonophysics and experimental tectonics. The journal publishes articles covering issues of genetic relationships between geodynamic processes of the past and present, synchronism in development of structures and their current spatial and temporal patterns, causes and conditions of manifestation of processes accompanying the evolution of the lithospheric structures, as solutions of such problems are important for practical application (paleo-and modern geodynamics, tectonophysics, seismicity, ore deposits, subsurface degassing, new achievements on the basis of experimental and mathematical methods of research, etc.) In this regard, the journal welcomes a very broad geological and geophysical audience.
As is known, in the vast majority of cases important scientific concepts are born in meaningful discussions on pages of scientific journals. From these positions, the journal pays special attention to controversial issues regarding common problems of geology and geophysics. There is no doubt that some of the highly contentious problems, that are currently in hot debate, as well as highly specific aspects of geology and geophysics will be more deeply substantiated and justified in the coming years and thus transformed into well-based scientific concepts or directions of research. Promoting and facilitating the new knowledge of such a mould is a key challenge for our scientific journal.
Communication between authors and the Editorial Board is governed by the rules adopted in the leading peer-reviewed journals, and its efficiency is a key prerequisite due to the electronic nature of the journal. On the website of the journal, up-to-date on-line information on how many people read articles published in our journal is available for visitors ? a special box is allocated for automatic registration of readers to monitor references to every article published.
The Editorial Board welcomes submissions from across the world. Authors are encouraged to submit articles and research/discussion notes on topics relevant to the journal’s scope and get involved in the mutually beneficial exchange of new scientific information and improvement of the overall awareness of achievements in the Earth sciences.
Geodynamics and Tectonophysics produced four (4) issues per year.
