How to publish in this journal

equsci@126.com

Scope

The main topics published are as follows: (1) Results of scientific and technical research in seismology as well as papers in geophysics, tectonics and engineering related to earthquake studies; (2) Papers presenting differences of scientific points of views in the field of seismology; (3) The current status and significant advances in earthquake-related science; (4) Comments and discussions concerning seismology and earthquake studies. Four columns are presented in Earthquake Science: research papers, research notes, academic discussion and reviews. It is intended for those scientists, engineers, and teachers and students in universities and colleges engaged in seismology and geophysics in China and abroad. Earthquake Science has become an important core journal in seismology and geophysics in China. To provide information on important topics, several special issues are published each year. These special issues are organized by well-known specialists, such as Professors Yaolin Shi, Chunyong Wang, Xiaodong Song, Fenglin Niu, Jiadong Qian, Sidao Ni, Xiaofei Chen, Yongshun John Chen, etc. The topics of these special issues cover a wide range of seismological and geophysical research fields. In 2008, a disastrous earthquake with a magnitude of 8.0 struck Wenchuan, Sichuan, China. More than nine hundred thousand people were killed or missing. This earthquake provided opportunities for seismologists to study the earthquake source process as well as many earthquake-related issues. Earthquake Science organized a timely special issue aimed at the hot-spot issues related to the Wenchuan earthquake. Join the conversation about this journal

SJR

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Citations per document

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

Evolution of the number of total citation per document and external citation per document (i.e. journal self-citations removed) received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. External citations are calculated by subtracting the number of self-citations from the total number of citations received by the journal’s documents.
