Earth and Planetary Science

To promote the visibility of Earth and Planetary Science and offer state-of-the-art expert insight on a variety of topical issues in earth and planetary science research, we are recruiting potential Guest Editors whether this is your first editing experience or a seasoned veteran. Our editorial team is always there to support you and make your guest editing experience a positive one.

You can become a Guest Editor in two ways:

• Received a contribution invitation (Topics suggested by the Editors and Editorial Board Members, and you are an acknowledged expert on a particular topic).

• Submit a proposal for a special issue to our journal (In addition to a topic suggested by the Editor-in-Chief or Editorial Board Members, you may also propose any theme for a Special Issue that fits the scope of the journal).

Those wishing to guest edit a Special Issue should submit a proposal to the editorial office at: eps@nassg.org.

Selecting a topic for a Special Issue

The topic of a Special Issue must be within the aims and scope of the journal, and be of high current interest, broad enough to attract a reasonable number of submissions, but at the same time narrow enough to keep a strong focus for the Special Issue.

Preparing a Proposal

Any proposal will be reviewed by the editorial team of the journal, and the decision as to whether to accept the proposal rests solely with the journal's Editor-in-Chief. Those wishing to guest edit a Special Issue should submit a proposal to the editorial office at: eps@nassg.org.

The proposal should include:
• The proposed topic;
• Your CV;
• Names and contact information for up to two co-Guest Editors, if any;
• Scope of the Special Issue and several keywords to define the scope of the issue;
• A list of potential contributors (if any).
