Aims and Scope
Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems (GI) is an open access interdisciplinary electronic journal for swift publication of original articles and short communications in the area of geoscientific instruments. It covers three main areas: (i) atmospheric and geospace sciences, (ii) earth science, and (iii) ocean science. A unique feature of the journal is the emphasis on synergy between science and technology that facilitates advances in GI. These advances include, but are not limited to:
- Concepts, design, and description of instrumentation and data system;
- Retrieval techniques of scientific products from measurements;
- Calibration and data quality assessment;
- Uncertainty in measurements;
- Newly developed and planned research platforms and community instrumentation capabilities;
- Major national and international field campaigns and observational research programs;
- New observational strategies to address societal needs in areas such as monitoring climate change and preventing natural disasters;
- Networking of instruments for enhancing high temporal and spatial resolution of observations.
GI has an innovative two-stage publication process involving the scientific discussion forum Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems Discussions (GID), which has been designed to:
- foster scientific discussion;
- maximize the effectiveness and transparency of scientific quality assurance;
- enable rapid publication;
- make scientific publications freely accessible.
Issuing Body
Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems (GI) and Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems Discussions (GID) are published by the Copernicus GmbH (Copernicus Publications) on behalf of the European Geosciences Union (EGU).
