Aims and scope

Mediterranean Geoscience Reviews is a niche for high-quality original research and review studies across various geoscience disciplines. While our primary emphasis is the Mediterranean realm, our scope exceeds geographical boundaries, inviting contributions from scholars worldwide whose work possesses universal significance and international appeal. The journal also publishes special issues on cutting-edge themes resulting from meetings or proposed by leading experts in their field. The journal has been published since 2019.

After technical checks and screening for English quality, all new submissions are automatically screened using CrossCheck within the editorial system to detect cases of suspected plagiarism. Editors can also run a similarity report at any other point during the review process or post-publication. All manuscripts are subject to a single-blind peer review process during at least two rounds of peer review coordinated by the Editor-in-Chief or an Associate Editor responsible for the paper's topic. The average time from submission until the final decision is four months. The acceptance rate is around 40%.

 Mediterranean Geoscience Reviews is committed to upholding the integrity of the scientific record. As a Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) member, the journal follows the COPE guidelines on dealing with potential misconduct acts. Authors should refrain from misrepresenting research results that could damage the trust in the journal and, ultimately, the scientific endeavour. Maintaining the integrity of the research and its presentation can be achieved by following the rules of good scientific practice as detailed in Springer Editorial Policies: https://www.springer.com/us/editorial-policies.
