Scope

• The stated remit is fundamental and applied geophysics, and the editors divide it into four standing sections rather than into a single long topic list.公开定位是基础地球物理学与应用地球物理学，编辑部把它拆成四个常设分区，没有另开一张长长的选题清单。

• Priority goes to studies that move understanding of processes in the lithosphere, the hydrosphere, the atmosphere and outer space.优先受理能推进对岩石圈、水圈、大气层与外层空间过程认识的稿子。

• Solid Earth Sciences takes anthropogenic hazards as seen through geophysical methods, together with induced seismicity and the monitoring built around it.固体地球科学分区受理用地球物理方法研究的人为致灾过程，也受理诱发地震活动及其监测体系。

• The same section lists machine learning and artificial intelligence in solid-earth geophysics, remote sensing with big data, geological hazard assessment and mitigation, and multiscale investigations.同一分区还列出固体地球地球物理中的机器学习与人工智能、遥感与大数据、地质灾害评估与减灾，以及多尺度研究。

• Hydrology and Hydraulics gathers environmental hydraulics, surface water hydrology and the extreme events that global change has made more frequent.水文与水力分区汇集环境水力学、地表水文学，以及全球变化诱发的极端事件。

• Water security, sustainable water management, hydrodynamic modeling with its observational side, and fluvial hydraulics complete that section's list.水资源安全、可持续水资源管理、水动力模拟与配套观测手段、河流水力学补全了这一分区的清单。

• Atmospheric and Space Sciences covers atmospheric dynamics, the interplay of weather and climate, and space weather.大气与空间科学分区覆盖大气动力学、天气与气候的相互作用，以及空间天气。

• Remote sensing in the atmosphere and in space sits there as well, next to climate change and the geophysical consequences drawn from it.大气与空间遥感同样归入该分区，气候变化及其引出的地球物理后果也在其中。

• Applied Geophysics reaches from resource exploration through environmental studies to engineering applications, with instrumentation treated as a subject in its own right.应用地球物理从资源勘探延伸到环境研究与工程应用，仪器研制被当作独立课题对待。

• Computational methods, data processing, inversion and interpretation have their own place in that section instead of standing outside the four-part scheme.计算方法、数据处理、反演与解释在该分区各有位置，没有游离于四分区的框架之外。

• Exploration geophysics, near-surface geophysics and geophysical imaging are named as the working areas where those tools get tested.勘探地球物理、近地表地球物理与地球物理成像被点名为检验这些手段的工作领域。

• Three manuscript types are accepted, namely regular research papers, review papers and short communications.受理的稿件分三类，即常规研究论文、综述论文与短通讯。

• Contributions that develop new methods are named as the ones the editors want most, while case studies have to bring methodological novelty, exceptional data or models, or a genuine interdisciplinary reach.编辑部最想要的是发展新方法的稿件；案例研究须带有方法学新意，或拿出突出的数据与模型，或真正跨越学科边界。

• Authors are encouraged to work reproducibly and to share the computer codes, the data and the models behind a published result.刊物鼓励作者以可复现的方式工作，并把支撑结论的计算机代码、数据与模型一并公开。

History

• The journal began in 1952 under the title Acta Geophysica Polonica, and that name stayed on the cover for fifty-four years.刊物 1952 年以《Acta Geophysica Polonica》为名创刊，这个题名在封面上留了 54 年。

• Two bodies of the Polish Academy of Sciences stood behind it, the Institute of Geophysics and the Committee of Geophysics.创办方是波兰科学院的两家机构，即地球物理研究所与地球物理委员会（Committee of Geophysics）。

• Publication ran as a quarterly, four numbers to a volume, and that pace held from 1952 to 2005.出版形制为季刊，一卷四期，这一节奏从 1952 年一直保持到 2005 年。

• The rename came in 2006, when the journal took the shorter title Acta Geophysica and moved to six issues a year.2006 年刊物改用现名《波兰地球物理学报》，同年把刊期从季刊改为双月刊。

• Volume numbering continued without a restart, so the 2006 volume is the fifty-fourth and the opening volume of 1952 is numbered one.卷号没有从头起算，2006 年的一卷是第 54 卷，1952 年的首卷则是第 1 卷。

• Papers have appeared in English throughout the run under the present title, and the journal now comes out online only.现题名之下的论文一律用英文发表，刊物如今只出网络版。

• The Science Citation Index Expanded took the journal in 2007, the year the Institute gives for the start of its coverage.科学引文索引扩展版（Science Citation Index Expanded）于 2007 年收录本刊，研究所把这一年记作收录起点。

• Cooperation with the Versita publishing house ran from 2008 to 2013.2008 年至 2013 年，刊物与 Versita 出版社合作出版。

• De Gruyter took over that role in 2014, and the arrangement lasted two years.2014 年这一角色转到 De Gruyter 名下，前后维持了两年。

• Springer Nature has carried the journal since 2016, while the copyright line has stayed with the Institute of Geophysics throughout.2016 年起刊物由 Springer Nature 承接出版，版权行则始终留在波兰科学院地球物理研究所名下。

• Ownership never moved, since the Institute describes itself as the only owner and publisher and keeps all editorial work in house.所有权没有转移，研究所自述为唯一的所有者与出版方，全部编辑工作也在所内完成。

• The publishing model is hybrid, and 477 articles had appeared open access at the time the journal page was read.出版模式为混合开放获取，刊页统计的开放获取论文已达 477 篇。

• The 2025 figures are a Journal Impact Factor of 2.4 and a five-year value of 2.3, a second-quartile place at 46 of 103 titles in geochemistry and geophysics, a median of 17 days to a first decision and 382.9 thousand downloads.2025 年的数字是影响因子 2.4、五年影响因子 2.3、在地球化学与地球物理类目 103 种刊物中列第 46 位、投稿到首次决定的中位时间 17 天、全年下载 38.29 万次。

• From volume 74 in 2026 the journal moves to Continuous Article Publishing, so accepted papers join a volume as they are finished instead of waiting for an issue slot.2026 年第 74 卷起改行连续文章出版，论文录用后直接进入卷内，不再空等某一期的位置。
