Publishing in Quaternary Geochronology
An established venue in its field. The journal welcomes solid, well-executed research. Ensure your manuscript fits the stated scope and follows author guidelines carefully.
- Scope fit: Confirm your research aligns with Q1. Off-scope manuscripts are typically desk-rejected quickly.
- Author guidelines: Follow formatting, reference style, and article-type requirements exactly — non-compliant manuscripts may be returned without review.
- Submission: Submit via the official journal website.
Is This Journal Right for Your Paper?
- Audience match: Will the journal's readers cite and build on your findings?
- Timeline: Higher-tier journals mean longer review and higher rejection risk. Balance prestige against your schedule.
- Indexing: Confirm indexing in Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed (if biomedical) meets your institutional requirements.
- Open access needs: Check funder mandates and whether the journal offers compliant OA options.
