Aims and Scope

Gondwana Research (GR) is an International Journal aimed to promote high quality research publications on all topics related to solid Earth, particularly with reference to the origin and evolution of continents, continental assemblies and their resources. GR is an "all earth science" journal with no restrictions on geological time, terrane or theme and covers a wide spectrum of topics in geosciences such as geology, geomorphology, palaeontology, structure, petrology, geochemistry, stable isotopes, geochronology, economic geology, exploration geology, engineering geology, geophysics, and environmental geology among other themes, and provides an appropriate forum to integrate studies from different disciplines and different terrains. In addition to regular articles and thematic issues, the journal invites high profile state-of-the-art reviews on thrust area topics for its column, 'GR FOCUS'. Focus articles include short biographies and photographs of the authors. Short articles (within ten printed pages) for rapid publication reporting important discoveries or innovative models of global interest will be considered under the category 'GR LETTERS'.

Verified Reviews

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

There is a research paper that I personally believe is well done. Initially, I considered submitting it to GSAB, with two reviewers. However, one of the reviewers may have had a different opinion, so it was not possible. Later, I revised it and submitted it to GR. There were four reviewers and an associate editor, and they provided several pages of comments, which surprised me when I saw them. Previously, I had heard that this journal had some issues and its impact factor was inflated. However, when I saw the comments, I actually found them to be very rigorous. The reviewers, who are well-known young talents in the field, made objective suggestions that would help improve the paper. It took nearly half a year from start to publication. Overall, I feel that it was a very rigorous process. Regardless, I hope that there will be more and more good journals for us to choose from.

Overall, this article went quite smoothly. One month after submission, the first round of reviewer comments came back. There were two reviewers in total, one suggested minor revisions and the other requested submission after making the necessary modifications. The associate editor asked for resubmission after the revisions were made. Based on the reviewer comments, it took one month to make the modifications before resubmitting. After resubmission, it took another month to receive minor revisions from the reviewer. The changes made this time were mostly minor language-related issues, such as word choice. There were two rounds of modifications related to a small issue with the reference to the appendix. Finally, the article was accepted successfully. The editor-in-chief and associate editor were very nice.
