Description:
Organic Geochemistry serves as the only dedicated medium for the publication of peer-reviewed research on all phases of
geochemistry
in which
organic compounds play a major role. The
Editors
welcome contributions covering a wide spectrum of subjects in the geosciences broadly based on
organic chemistry (including molecular
and isotopic geochemistry), and involving geology, biogeochemistry, environmental geochemistry, chemical oceanography and hydrology.
The scope of the journal includes research involving
petroleum (including
natural gas),
coal, organic matter
in the aqueous environment and recent sediments, organic-rich rocks and soils and the role of organics in the
geochemical cycling
of the elements.
Sedimentological, paleontological and organic petrographic studies will also be considered for publication, provided
that they are geochemically oriented. Papers cover the full range of research activities in organic geochemistry, and include comprehensive
review articles, technical communications, discussion/reply correspondence and short technical notes. Peer-reviews organised through
two Chief Editors and a staff of
Associate
Editors, are conducted by well known, respected scientists from academia, government and industry. The journal also publishes
reviews of books, announcements of important conferences and meetings and other matters of direct interest to the organic geochemical
community.
