Overview

ASEG Publications include an internationally recognised scientific journal, Exploration Geophysics, and a stimulating news magazine Preview. in 2018, the society introduced a monthly newsletter. Contributions to all these publications from ASEG members are always welcome.

Anyone may access Preview free of charge and everyone can read abstracts from Exploration Geophysics. ASEG Members can access the full articles in Exploration Geophysics free of charge. Non-members may access Exploration Geophysics but will be charged for each paper. Non-members may join the ASEG here.

 

Exploration Geophysics is published by ASEG on behalf of the Australian Society of Exploration Geophysicists (ASEG), Society of Exploration Geophysics of Japan (SEGJ), and Korean Society of Earth and Exploration Geophysicists (KSEG).

The journal presents significant case histories, advances in data interpretation, and theoretical developments resulting from original research in exploration and applied geophysics. Papers that may have implications for field practice in Australia, even if they report work from other continents, will be welcome. ´Exploration and applied geophysics´ will be interpreted broadly by the editors, so that geotechnical and environmental studies are by no means precluded.

Papers are expected to be of a high standard. Exploration Geophysics uses an international pool of reviewers drawn from industry and academic authorities as selected by the editorial panel.

The journal provides a common meeting ground for geophysicists active in either field studies or basic research.

Aims

The Journal publishes excellent research in geophysics, reviews, technical papers and significant case histories in minerals, petroleum, mining and environmental geophysics, and is an official publication of the Australian Society of Exploration Geophysicists (ASEG), Society of Exploration Geophysics of Japan (SEGJ), and Korean Society of Earth and Exploration Geophysicists (KSEG). Authors and readers are professional earth scientists specialising in the practical application of the principles of physics and mathematics to solve problems in a broad range of geological situations. They are variously in industry, government and academic research institutions. All papers are peer-reviewed.

The journal is published online, and issues include special sections of particular topics, or collections of papers from the regular ASEG Conferences.

Exploration Geophysics is also the English-language mouthpiece of the SEGJ´s Butsuri Tansa and the KSEG´s Jigu-Mulli-wa-Mulli-Tamsa; the full contents of the journal are available to members of all three societies.

All proposed contributions should be submitted to the Editor by email at previeweditor@aseg.org.au. For style considerations, please refer to the For Authors section of the Preview website here.

Exploration Geophysics

We’re excited to announce that submissions for Exploration Geophysics are now open at our new website: eg.aseg.org.au.

All submissions can now be made directly through this new portal. If the corresponding author does not already have an account, it will be necessary to create one on the site.

Information for authors, including submission guidelines and requirements, is also available at eg.aseg.org.au.

 

Principles of Publication

Both Exploration Geophysics and Preview adhere to the principles of publications ethics outlined by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and as such we would like to inform you that we will shortly be updating our Author Services Site with the attached peer review appeals and complaints policy.

The aim of this policy is to enable genuine appeals to be considered and discourage repeated or unfounded appeals. It also provides greater transparency into how appeals and complaints arehandled across all ASEG journals. This is line with the Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing identified by COPE, Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA) and World Association of Medical Editors (WAME).

This overarching appeals and complaints policy focuses on information which is common to all ASEG journals across a diverse range of subjects. We understand the specifics of a journal’s appeals procedure will vary from journal to journal. Authors can contact either Exploration Geophysics or Preview editors for more specific information where needed.

Benefits of this policy to ASEG journals are:

  • Demonstrates both journals maintain international ethical standards for publication and meets the Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing.
  • Provides the framework to help reinforce ASEG Journal individual appeals procedure, by giving clear guidance to authors on what a valid appeal letter should include in order for it to be considered and outlining what outcomes an author can expect from their appeal.
  • Offers assistance to editors in minimising longer than necessary correspondence with authors, since the policy clearly states that editors will consider one appeal per article and all decisions on appeals are final.
