The Journal of Structural Geology and Applied Tectonics is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to publishing original, high-quality scientific research in the fields of structural geology, tectonics, and their interactions with other branches of the Earth sciences. The journal provides a specialized platform for the presentation and exchange of innovative findings, theoretical developments, and analytical approaches related to crustal deformation processes and lithospheric dynamics.
The primary focus of the journal is on research that analyzes geological structures, tectonic processes, and the mechanisms governing the evolution of structural domains, sedimentary basins, orogenic belts, and fault systems. The journal welcomes contributions grounded in rigorous field data, quantitative analyses, numerical and analogue modeling, and the application of geophysical and geochemical methods, as well as advanced technologies such as remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
Adopting an interdisciplinary perspective, the journal emphasizes the links between tectonics and related fields, including sedimentology, stratigraphy, metamorphic geology, economic geology, engineering geology, tectonic geomorphology, geophysics, and environmental geology. Its primary audience comprises researchers, faculty members, graduate students, and professionals in the Earth sciences.
Through a strong commitment to expert peer review and the principles of publication ethics, the Journal of Structural Geology and Applied Tectonics seeks to establish itself as a reputable scholarly publication within the geological community and to promote the dissemination of impactful research at both national and international levels.
