Manuscript types

The following types of manuscripts can be considered for peer-reviewed publication in Annales Geophysicae (ANGEO):

  • Regular papers report substantial new results and conclusions from scientific investigations of solar, near-Earth space, and atmospheric properties, as well as processes within the scope of the journal.
  • Review papers summarize the status of knowledge and outline future directions of research within the scope of the journal. Before preparing and submitting a review article, please contact an editor covering the relevant subject area as well as an executive editor. Depending on the subject and further characteristics, review articles are also eligible for inclusion in the Encyclopedia of Geosciences. If you are interested in this option, please see the author instructions and contact the editors of the encyclopedia.
  • Technical notes are peer-reviewed publications that report new developments, significant advances, and novel aspects of experimental and theoretical methods and techniques which are relevant for scientific investigations within the journal scope. Manuscripts of this type are often short, yet not strictly limited to a given page limit. Highly detailed and specific technical information such as computer programme code or user manuals can be included as electronic supplements. The manuscript title must reflect the manuscript type and start with "Technical note:". For manuscripts focused on the development and description of numerical models and model components, we recommend to consider a submission to the EGU interactive open-access journal Geoscientific Model Development (GMD).
  • ANGEO Communicates is a medium to promptly present new significant results. Manuscripts in this category are reviewed by only one independent referee. The article size is limited to four published pages.
  • Peer-reviewed comments (and replies) continue the discussion of published papers. They usually refer to papers published in Annales Geophysicae, but they may refer to papers published in other journals if satisfactory justification is given. They undergo the same process of peer review and publication as regular papers and review papers, but are reviewed by only one independent referee. The manuscript title should start with "Comment on" or "Reply to".
