STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced the launch of a new open access journal, GeoResJ. The journal will be the first open access only journal to join Elsevier's earth and planetary science journals portfolio.
GeoResJ aims to provide a forum for rapid publication of top research within the entire earth science field. The journal will be co-edited by six Executive Editors, each covering a different discipline, including geophysics, geochemistry, space science, volcanology, atmospheric sciences and paleontology. The Executive Board of Editors will be supported by a managing editor - Vasile Ersek, University of Oxford, UK.
The journal will publish its first four volumes in 2014. Any articles accepted for publication in 2013 will be available online on ScienceDirect.
