Aims and Scope

The Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, commonly referred to as BSSA, (ISSN 0037-1106) is the premier journal of advanced research in earthquake seismology and related disciplines. It first appeared in 1911 and became a bimonthly in 1963. Each issue is composed of scientific papers on the various aspects of seismology, including investigation of specific earthquakes, theoretical and observational studies of seismic waves, inverse methods for determining the structure of the Earth or the dynamics of the earthquake source, seismometry, earthquake hazard and risk estimation, seismotectonics, and earthquake engineering. Special issues focus on important earthquakes or rapidly changing topics in seismology. BSSA is published by the Seismological Society of America.

Verified Reviews

Note: Verified reviews are sourced from across review platforms and social media globally.

The editing process of the manuscript is very fast. After submission, the editor-in-chief and deputy editor provided a few suggestions for revision. After making the revisions, it was sent back and one of the two reviewers proposed minor revisions while an outsider rejected it. The editor-in-chief asked me to write an explanation regarding the rejection by the reviewer. After filing an appeal, two new reviewers were appointed. After one month, the manuscript was returned with minor revisions. It has been half a month since then, and it is still in the "with editor" status. I hope it can be processed as soon as possible and receive an acceptance email.

The publication fee is really expensive. I can't afford it.
