Journals:

AGU's award-winning journals are widely respected because of the rigorous peer review by referees who volunteer their time, insight, and knowledge to improve the work of their colleagues and peers. Their contributions add value to the scientific enterprise and strengthen the quality of the research. If you are interested in joining the AGU pool of reviewers for a backstage pass to some of the most cutting-edge research in Earth and space science, please send your contact information, journal preference, and areas of expertise to [email protected].

Read a Scholarly Kitchen Guest Post — Why the “Who” of Peer Review is Important by AGU Publications staff Matthew Giampoala, Randy Townsend and Paige Wooden in celebration of Peer Review Week 2021. The post is also available in French, Spanish and Mandarin.

Production Process

Your accepted paper will be sent to AGU’s publishing partner, Wiley,  for production (copyediting, typesetting, proofreading, and publication), and copyright/license signing. The typical process takes 15 working days for Geophysical Research Letters and 22 working days for all other journals. You will be communicating with Wiley directly throughout the process.  

You will be asked to review the proofs and submit corrections prior to publication of the version of the record on the journal’s website. Please respond promptly to your proofs to ensure quick publication. Once a paper is accepted, it will be considered a final manuscript. When receiving proofs, please note that only critical changes (i.e. major proofing errors) should be made to the proofs. Any changes of a technical or substantive nature that impacts the science will need to be reviewed for the Editor’s approval.

Your published paper will receive a digital object identifier (DOI). This DOI will be 10.1029/XXXXXXXXXXXX, where the 12-digit suffix is your paper’s manuscript number without trailing Rs or Ts.

AGU’s self-archiving policy allows sharing of the accepted manuscript to an institutional repository or personal and departmental website without embargo. Authors are also encouraged to post their accepted manuscript as a preprint to Earth and Space Science Open Archive or update their preprint if the original submission was already shared via AGU journals’ submission system (GEMS).

Copyright/Licenses

After your paper is accepted, you will receive an email to complete the copyright licensing process electronically on the Wiley Author Services dashboard.

• If you are publishing your paper as a subscription article (not open access), you will be asked to sign a Copyright Transfer Agreement to transfer rights to AGU.
• If you are publishing your paper as an open access article, you will be asked to sign an open access agreement with a Creative Commons license that allows you to keep the copyright.

For more information on copyright and licensing, please visit the Wiley Author Services guidance here.

For AGU’s permissions policy, including the rights granted to authors, you can find more information here.

Promotion

Once your paper is published online, share your success:

• Post to your social media accounts. This could also include using the account handles of AGU editors and a journal’s specific social accounts (if they exist). Don’t forget to tag AGU social media accounts and use #AGUpubs.
• Email your colleagues, employer and friends so they can promote your science on their social media channels.
• Post the “version of record” of your article to your institutional repository.
• Notify AGU’s press office ([email protected]) if your institution is planning a press release
• Complete a publicity request to let us know what you think is interesting about your research and how it will shape future research or understanding in this field.

Help shape the scientific quality of research published in your field

AGU seeks dynamic, well-organized scientists with high editorial standards and strong leadership skills to serve as Editors of journals. The editorial term is 3 or 4 years depending on the journal. Applicants should be respected leaders in the community, independent-minded, even-handed, and able to make tough but fair decisions in timely manner. More detailed information on an Editor’s role and responsibilities and guidelines, as well as desirable characteristics, is available. A Search Committee appointed by the Council Leadership Team evaluates candidates and conducts personal interviews with a small number of highly qualified individuals. The Council Leadership Team makes the final selection and appointment.

Are you qualified and interested in becoming an Editor? Know someone who is?

You are invited to submit your curriculum vitae with a letter of interest to the Editor Search Committee for your journal of choice. To nominate someone who is qualified, send a letter of recommendation to [email protected].
