ORGANIC GEOCHEMISTRY

ORG GEOCHEM

Aims and Scope
Organic Geochemistry serves as the only dedicated medium for the publication of peer-reviewed research on all phases of geochemistry in which organic compounds play a major role. The Editors welcome contributions covering a wide spectrum of subjects in the geosciences broadly based on organic chemistry (including molecular and isotopic geochemistry), and involving geology, biogeochemistry, environmental geochemistry, chemical oceanography and hydrology.

The scope of the journal includes research involving petroleum (including natural gas), coal, organic matter in the aqueous environment and recent sediments, organic-rich rocks and soils and the role of organics in the geochemical cycling of the elements.

Sedimentological, paleontological and organic petrographic studies will also be considered for publication, provided that they are geochemically oriented. Papers cover the full range of research activities in organic geochemistry, and include comprehensive review articles, technical communications, discussion/reply correspondence and short technical notes. Peer-reviews organised through three Chief Editors and a staff of Associate Editors, are conducted by well known, respected scientists from academia, government and industry. The journal also publishes reviews of books, announcements of important conferences and meetings and other matters of direct interest to the organic geochemical community.

Verified Reviews
Note: Verified reviews are sourced from across review platforms and social media globally.
It is a very good journal in the field of organic geochemistry, which requires a certain level of innovation in articles. However, the review process is very fast, with highly professional reviewers who provide detailed revisions. Additionally, before submission, the editor-in-chief (Volkman) will screen for innovation and language quality before deciding whether to send it for review. The acceptance rate after review is relatively high.

May I ask how long it takes for your manuscript to be reviewed after submission? Mine has already been submitted for one and a half months and is still with the editor.
