Instructions to Authors
The Australian Journal of Earth Sciences (AJES) is the official journal of the Geological Society of Australia. AJES is published in 8 issues per year in print and on-line in full colour at no cost to authors. The Journal publishes high quality peer reviewed scientific papers on all aspects of Earth and planetary sciences. There is a focus on the Australian plate, the Asia-Pacific region and Antarctica but papers on areas outside these regions will be considered if the subject matter is of a broad scientific interest with an international appeal. Proposals for thematic issues featuring a selection of related papers are welcome and should be sent to the Editor-in-Chief (Editor).
AJES welcomes Review papers, Research papers, Letters, Comments and Discussions.
The acceptance criteria for all papers are the quality and originality of the research and its significance to readership. Authors should have their papers peer reviewed before submission. In addition, all manuscripts will be reviewed by at least two referees selected by the Editors or Associate Editors. Authors can suggest preferred or non-preferred referees when entering their manuscript files into the ScholarOne Manuscript™ site. The Editor will make the final decision concerning acceptance or rejection of a paper. The Editor reserves the right to refuse any material for publication.
Open Access
You have the option to publish open access in this journal via our Open Select publishing program. Publishing open access means that your article will be free to access online immediately on publication, increasing the visibility, readership and impact of your research. Articles published Open Select with Taylor & Francis typically receive 95% more citations* and over 7 times as many downloads** compared to those that are not published Open Select.
Your research funder or your institution may require you to publish your article open access. Visit our Author Services website to find out more about open access policies and how you can comply with these.
You will be asked to pay an article publishing charge (APC) to make your article open access and this cost can often be covered by your institution or funder. Use our APC finder to view the APC for this journal.
Please visit our Author Services website if you would like more information about our Open Select Program.

Submission of manuscripts
All articles submitted to the journal must comply with these instructions. Papers are accepted for publication only if the content has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere; they largely contain previously unpublished material; and all co-authors agree to the submission.
Papers for consideration must be submitted via ScholarOne Manuscript™: ( http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/taje). Instructions on how to submit are listed on the site under User Tutorials. Submissions must be uploaded as MSWord documents (text and tables as separate files) with figures uploaded separately as high resolution (300 dpi) JPEGs, .eps, .tif (for images) or PDF (for black and white line drawings only). Any queries please email AJES.Editor@gsa.org.au.
As part of the on-line submission, you are requested to identify sources of funding for your research and/or preparation of the article and to briefly describe the role of the sponsor(s), if any, in study design; in the collection, analysis and interpretation of data; in the writing; and in the decision to submit the article for publication.
The system automatically converts source files to a single PDF file of the article, which is used in the peer-review process. Although manuscript source files are converted to PDF files at submission for the review process, these source files are needed for further processing after acceptance. All correspondence, including notification of the Editors’ decision and requests for revision, is by e-mail ensuring a record of the reviewing and editorial processes.
