  • Earth and Planetary Science—Aims and Scope Update

    2023-10-30

    We are pleased to announce that, with the Honorary Editor-in-Chief Prof. Dr. Zheng-Xiang Li, the Editor-in-Chief Prof. Dr. Albert Galy and the Associate Editor Dr. Maria Gritsevich’s suggestion and for the better development of Earth and Planetary Science in the future, we adjusted the aims and scope of Earth and Planetary Science, which are outlined below.

    Aims and Scope

    Earth and Planetary Science (EPS; ISSN 2810-9732) is an international, gold open access journal that publishes both primary research and review papers on the study of Earth and planetary systems. Our goal is to foster research that adopts a systemic approach, addressing not only processes within individual layers but also the intricate interactions and feedback mechanisms that characterize complex planetary systems, transcending traditional disciplinary boundaries. EPS is committed to disseminating cutting-edge scientific ideas supported by robust multidisciplinary observations.

    Within the Earth System Science, we welcome contributions related to various planetary layers, including the core, mantle, and crust, as well as the hydrosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, magnetosphere, and the interplay among these components. The Planetary System Science component of EPS' scope includes the study of celestial bodies beyond Earth. This encompasses planets, moons, asteroids, comets, meteoroids, dust, and exoplanetary systems. We encourage research that explores the formation, evolution, and dynamics of planetary bodies, as well as that of their environments.

    The scope of Earth and Planetary Science encompasses a wide array of geoscience and planetary science disciplines, including, but not limited to:

    • Geology
    • Geophysics
    • Geochemistry
    • Tectonics and geodynamics
    • Paleontology, and origin and evolution of life
    • Processes controlling the formation of planetary resources
    • Climate science
    • Atmospheric science
    • Planetary sciences

    Our journal invites researchers from across the globe to submit their work for publication, contributing to the advancement of knowledge in Earth and planetary sciences. We encourage innovative and interdisciplinary research that expands the horizons of our understanding of these complex systems.

  • Congratulations! Six members of the editorial board of Earth and Planetary Science were selected as World’s Top 2% Scientists 2023!

    2023-10-19

    Stanford University recently released the "World's Top 2% of Scientists 2023" list. Six members of the editorial board of Earth and Planetary Science (ISSN: 2810-9732) were included in this prestigious list!

    Based on the bibliometric information in the Scopus database, the list selects the world's top 2% of scientists from about 7 million scientists, divided into 22 scientific fields and 174 sub-fields. The ranking was released in two categories: Career-long Impact Ranking and Single Year Impact Ranking, which corresponded to the comprehensive data from 1960-2022 and 2022 respectively. The "Career-long Impact Ranking" focuses on the comprehensive influence performance of scientists during their careers, and the "Single Year Impact Ranking" focuses on the academic impact of scientists in the previous year. The list provides a measure of the long-term research performance of scientists, which can more objectively and truthfully reflect the influence of scientists.

    We would like to congratulate our Honorary Editor-in-Chief Prof. Dr. Zheng-Xiang Li and five Editorial Board Members on their excellent achievement and thank them for their immense contribution to the scientific progression and development of Earth and Planetary Science.

Before that, he held teaching positions (Assistant Lecturer to Senior Lecturer) in Earth Sciences at the university of Cambridge (UK), firstly appointed in 2000. He was a post-doc with Sir RK O’Nions in Oxford and a Ph.D. student of C. France-Lanord at CRPG, graduating in 1999. His PhD work led to important constraints on the sources of dissolved and particulate elements to Himalayan rivers. During his stay at Oxford & Cambridge Universities, he has overseen the establishment of chemical and analytical protocols for Ca, Mg, Fe, Ge, Nd and Pb isotopic analyses by MC-ICP-MS, carried on the study of the effect of the erosion of mountain belts (Himalaya, Taiwan, Western Alps, Southern Alps, Cascade range) on the C-cycle, untangled the effects of boundary exchange, hydrology and terrestrial weathering on marine Nd- and Pb-isotopic compositions at G-I timescale, set up the foundations for the use of Mg- Ca- and Ge-isotope in environmental geochemistry and applied those tracers to the study of primitive meteorites. Since his arrival at CRPG, he has set up a comprehensive study of the sedimentary record of past erosion and weathering around Tibet by strengthening its links with the Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research of the Chinese Academy of Science and by participating to IODP Exp. 354. He has authored or co-authored more than 146 WoS listed publications.
