Advances in Geosciences (ADGEO) is a not-for-profit international interdisciplinary journal for fast publication of collections of short but self-contained communications in the Earth, planetary, and solar system sciences, published in separate volumes online with the option of printed publications (print on demand). The collections may include papers presented at scientific meetings (proceedings) or articles on a well-defined topic compiled by individual editors or organizations (special publications). All manuscripts submitted to ADGEO undergo peer review organized by guest editors, i.e. either by the conveners of a session of a conference, by the organizers of a meeting or workshop, or by editors appointed otherwise as well as their chosen referees. Further details can be found in the review section.
