Geoscience Letters is the official journal of the Asia Oceania Geosciences Society, and a fully open access journal published as one of SpringerOpen journals. The AOGS consists of eight scientific sections: Atmospheric Sciences, Biogeosciences, Hydrological Sciences, Interdisciplinary Geosciences, Ocean Sciences, Planetary Sciences, Solar and Terrestrial Sciences, and Solid Earth Sciences, hence Geoscience Letters considers the papers in these fileds, and editorial board members are listed under these categories. The editorial board consists 20 members, including former section presidents of AOGS. Like section presidents, the board members are from many different countries/regions in Asia and Oceania, namely Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China, Vietnam, Singapore, India, United Arab Emirates, and Australia, and not dominated by any country.
Geoscience Letters was launched in 2014 and have published 68 papers by 2016 (volume 3). About a half of them are original research letters and the other half are review papers. The AOGS has encouraged the Axford (Society) lectures and Section Distinguished Lectures to submit their lectures as review papers.
Geoscience Letters publishes thematic collections. This is similar to the special issues in traditional journals and guest editors are invited. A significant difference is that the accepted papers are first published as regular papers. Once all the papers in the collection are published, they are collected and can be seen from different windows of the website. Unlike traditional paper publications, early papers do not need to wait until the last paper is accepted. So far, one collection with 14 papers are published, and a few more are on the way.
