Overview

Biogeochemistry is a fully open access journal (from January 2024) focusing on the biotic controls on environmental chemistry and the geochemical control of ecosystems.

  • Publishes original and synthetic papers on biogeochemical cycles from molecular to global scales.
  • Studies of both natural and artificial ecosystems contributing to a general understanding of biogeochemistry and coupled interactions of element cycles.
  • Provides a fast-track review process for high-profile manuscripts submitted in 2 sections ‘Biogeochemistry Letters’ and ‘Synthesis and Emerging Ideas’.
  • Authors who may not have access to OA funds, can apply for an APC discount/waiver during the submission process.
  • 97% of authors who answered a survey reported they would publish in the journal again.
