Aims and Scope
In recent years there has been a growth of specialist journals within geological sciences. Nevertheless, there is an important role for a journal of an interdisciplinary kind. Traditionally, GEOLOGICAL JOURNAL has been such a journal and continues in its aim of promoting interest in all branches of the Geological Sciences, through publication of original research papers and review articles. The journal publishes Special Issues with a common theme or regional coverage e.g. Chinese Dinosaurs; Tectonics of the Eastern Mediterranean, Triassic basins of the Central and North Atlantic Borderlands). These are extensively cited.

The Journal has a particular interest in publishing papers on regional case studies from any global locality which have conclusions of general interest. Such papers may emphasize aspects across the full spectrum of geological sciences.

The first SCI paper of my life was fortunate enough to be published in the Geological journal. It took five months from submission to final acceptance. It is a very good journal, with reviewers' opinions being profound and fair. It used to be a second-tier journal three years ago, but its impact factor has slightly declined in the past two years. I hope Geo J can continue to improve!

As I predicted in July, this year's upgraded version is returning to Zone 3. It seems that with the introduction of the transcendence index evaluation, the quality of GJ articles is better than before. However, caution is still needed when submitting articles, both in terms of self-citation and the quantity of publications.
