We are excited to announce that Biogeochemistry has now become a fully open access (OA) journal as of January 2024. This means that we will only be publishing articles as Open Access meaning content will be and freely available to readers worldwide, enabling the widest possible dissemination and reuse.
We’re happy to announce that we are creating an early-career researchers’ (ECR) board comprising of postdocs and late-stage Ph.D. students. The aim is for ECR’s to develop their skills as peer-reviewers under the guidance of experienced Associate Editors of the Biogeochemistry board.
We need advice and suggestions from our readers on how to be more inclusive, and how to diversify our Editorial Board and our Board of Readers.
Why is the journal important to the field?
Biogeochemistry is a relatively new and highly interdisciplinary field of science that explores the connections between the biotic and abiotic world.
A fast-track review process is available for high-profile manuscripts that present results that substantially advance the field or challenge entrenched ideas. Letters are expected to present new information in a concise format and appeal to a broad audience
To complement traditional articles published in Biogeochemistry and those published in the Biogeochemistry Letters section, we also consider contributions representing a more theoretical and/or synthetic approach as part of the Synthesis and Emerging Ideas section. We invite authors to submit papers that will advance the field of biogeochemistry by challenging fundamental concepts, describing new tools, or offering novel hypotheses prompted by extant literature or new datasets.
Biogeochemistry encourages the publication of Topical Collections. The preparation of a Proposal is handled and decided upon by the Editors-in-Chief. Guest Editor(s) should prepare a proposal for their Topical Collection and submit it to the Editors-in-Chief and the publisher (Arya Ramachandran Nair, email: arya.ramachandran@springernature.com) for their approval.
