Comptes Rendus Géoscience

Comptes Rendus Géoscience is the earth-science journal among the seven titles published by the Académie des sciences in Paris, issued on the academy's own account since 2020 with technical support from the Centre Mersenne in Grenoble. Its 2025 Journal Impact Factor is 1.9, Q3 in Geosciences, Multidisciplinary at 156 of 259.《法国科学院地球科学汇刊》（Comptes Rendus Géoscience）是法国科学院在巴黎所办七种期刊中的地球科学一种，2020 年起由科学院自行出版，格勒诺布尔的 Centre Mersenne 提供技术平台。2025 年影响因子 1.9，在地学综合类目列 Q3，排名 156/259。

The lineage is older than the name. Its parent, the weekly bulletin of academy sessions begun in 1835, printed short notes so that a result could reach readers within weeks, and the geoscience series still prefers that form, which leaves a cited half-life of 15.2 years.沿革比刊名久得多。其母刊（Comptes Rendus des séances de l'Académie des sciences）自 1835 年起以周刊印行，凭短札让结果数周内到达读者，地球科学这一辑至今仍偏爱这种体例，全刊引用半衰期因此为 15.2 年。

Scope

• The published remit is the whole of the earth sciences, which the journal groups under four headings, namely the solid earth, continental surfaces and waters, the ocean with climate and atmosphere, and the relation between the field and society.刊物的范围声明为地球科学的整体，刊物将其归为四块，即固体地球，陆地表面与水体，海洋与气候大气，以及本门学科与社会的关系。
• Tectonics and geodynamics carry a large share of the content, from fold-and-thrust belts and rift systems to plate kinematics, subduction budgets and the thermal state of the lithosphere.构造地质与地球动力学占去内容的大宗，褶皱冲断带与裂谷系统，板块运动学，俯冲收支以及岩石圈的热状态，都在其中。
• Petrology and mineralogy enter through magma genesis and metamorphic paths, while geochemistry arrives by way of isotope tracing and fluid-rock reaction, and papers of this kind are usually tied to a field area rather than to a method.岩石学与矿物学通过岩浆成因与变质演化进入版面，地球化学则经同位素示踪与流固反应展开，这类稿件多绑定一处野外区域，不围绕单一方法。
• Geophysics and seismology are handled as imaging problems, covering seismic reflection and tomography, the earthquake cycle, gravity and magnetic surveys, and downhole measurements in deep boreholes.地球物理与地震学按成像问题处理，涵盖地震反射与层析成像，也涵盖地震循环与重磁测量，以及深钻孔中的井下观测。
• Sedimentology and stratigraphy hold the centre of the historical side, with basin analysis close behind them, and sequences, facies and provenance are used to date deformation and to read past sea level.沉积学与地层学在历史一侧居中心位置，盆地分析紧随其后，层序与相被用来给变形定年，物源则用来读取古海平面。
• Palaeontology reaches the journal mainly as geobiology and biostratigraphy, since the descriptive and evolutionary treatment of fossils belongs to its sister title Comptes Rendus Palevol.古生物学主要以地球生物学与生物地层学的形态进入本刊，化石的描述与演化研究归入姊妹刊《古生物学汇刊》（Comptes Rendus Palevol）。
• Ocean, climate and atmosphere form one strand, taking in ocean circulation and palaeoceanography, atmospheric dynamics and the carbon cycle, plus the records that ice, lake and marine cores preserve.海洋、气候与大气合成一条线索，容纳大洋环流与古海洋学，大气动力学与碳循环，以及冰芯、湖泊与海洋岩芯保存的记录。
• Continental surfaces and waters cover geomorphology and sediment yield, soil development and river or groundwater hydrology, and the critical zone where rock, water and life meet.陆地表面与水体一块覆盖地貌学与侵蚀产沙，也覆盖土壤发育与河流地下水水文，以及岩石、水与生命相遇的关键带。
• Deep earth and planetary work is accepted wherever it bears on the same questions, including core-mantle interaction, mineral physics at high pressure, and the comparative geology of the inner planets.深部地球与行星研究只要落在同一批问题上也收，包括核幔相互作用、高压矿物物理，以及内太阳系行星的比较地质。
• Resources and energy geology is in scope, running from ore-forming systems and hydrocarbon plays to geothermal fields, geological storage of carbon dioxide and the management of aquifers.资源与能源地质在范围之内，从成矿系统与油气成藏，到地热田、二氧化碳地质封存与含水层管理，都有对应稿件。
• Hazards and the public use of geology have a standing place, so earthquake and volcanic risk sit here, landslide assessment and geoheritage sit beside them, and the ethics of advising policy belongs to the same ground.灾害与地质学的公共用途占常设位置，地震与火山风险在其列，滑坡评估与地质遗产亦然，向决策者说明不确定性的伦理问题同样属于这一块。
• Numerical modelling and observation are treated as research objects in their own right, with inverse methods and machine learning admitted, satellite positioning and seismic network data admitted, and long instrumental series welcome.数值模拟与观测本身也作为研究对象，反演方法与机器学习在列，卫星定位与地震台网的资料同样收，长序列观测数据一并可以入稿。
• The journal also prints review articles and historical or biographical pieces, mounts thematic issues under guest editors, and carries short Perspectives written with members of the editorial committee.刊物同时刊载综述与历史传记文章，也出由客座编辑主持的专题辑，以及与编委合作撰写的短篇《透视》文章。

History

• The first number is dated 1835, when François Arago, then permanent secretary of the Académie des sciences, began printing the weekly sessions so that results could reach readers before they were formalised elsewhere.第 1 卷标为 1835 年，时任法国科学院常任秘书的（François Arago）开始把每周例会的内容印行，让结果在别处定型之前先到读者手上。
• For a century the run carried mathematics with physics, and chemistry with natural history, in one sequence of volumes, so that earth-science papers sat beside mineralogy, palaeontology and physical geography.此后一个世纪，这套汇刊把数学与物理、化学与博物学放进同一序列的卷次，地球科学的材料与矿物学、古生物学并列。
• Specialisation forced the break-up. By the closing decades of the twentieth century the single run had become a set of lettered series, and the earth sciences had one of their own.学科分化逼出拆辑。到 20 世纪最后几十年，单一卷次已分作若干按字母标记的辑，地球科学有了自己的一辑。
• That arrangement was recast in 1997, when the earth material was gathered into Series IIA, Earth and Planetary Science, a title that ran for five volumes under the Elsevier imprint.这一格局在 1997 年重划，地球科学材料归入（Series IIA）地球与行星科学一辑，该辑在 Elsevier 版下出了五卷。
• Comptes Rendus Géoscience dates from 2002, when the academy rebuilt its earth-science series under the present name, gave it the number 1631-0713 and started a fresh volume count at 334.现名始于 2002 年，科学院以《地球科学汇刊》重建这一辑，启用刊号 1631-0713，卷次从第 334 卷重新起算。
• For its first eighteen years the title was produced with Elsevier, and the imprint read Académie des sciences / Elsevier SAS, which is still how library catalogues record the volumes from 2002 to 2019.最初十八年与 Elsevier 合作出版，版权页写作科学院与 Elsevier SAS 并列，图书馆目录里 2002 至 2019 年的卷次至今如此著录。
• Print was dropped in 2016, after which the journal appeared in electronic form only, a change that also ended the fixed space of a printed issue.2016 年停印纸本，此后只出电子版，印刷期次的固定篇幅随之不再构成约束。
• The Elsevier contract ended with the 2019 volume. From 2020 the academy publishes its seven Comptes Rendus itself, and the Centre Mersenne, run by Cellule MathDoc in Grenoble, hosts the files and the submission system.与 Elsevier 的合约随 2019 年卷次结束。自 2020 年起，七种汇刊由科学院自办出版，格勒诺布尔的 Cellule MathDoc 所辖 Centre Mersenne 负责托管文件与投稿系统。
• That move carried the journal into diamond open access. No author pays a fee, every article is free at the point of reading, and the Directory of Open Access Journals lists the title with a gold share of 100 per cent.这一转变把刊物带入钻石开放获取。作者不付费用，读者端全部免费，开放获取期刊目录收录该刊，金色占比为 100%。
• The rhythm changed with the platform. Sixteen numbers a year gave way to a single annual volume, whose issues now carry labels such as G1 and S1 rather than a running count, and an accepted paper is registered with its DOI within weeks.刊期随平台一并更改。每年 16 期让位于每年一卷，各期改用 G1、S1 一类标号，不再按序计数，录用稿数周内即注册 DOI。
• Volume 358 is being filled in 2026, twenty-four volumes after the 2002 restart, and the count has run without a break since then, which makes a volume number a rough date.2026 年正在编定第 358 卷，距 2002 年重新起算已二十四卷，卷号此后未曾中断，看卷号即可粗估年份。
• Two archives now coexist. The 1997 to 2019 volumes remain on the Elsevier platform, while everything from 2020 onward sits on the academy's own site with a DOI registered at publication.两套档案并存。1997 至 2019 年的卷次留在 Elsevier 的平台，2020 年起的文章放在科学院自己的站点，发表即注册 DOI。
• The 2025 metrics give a Journal Impact Factor of 1.9, a five-year figure of 2 and a Journal Citation Indicator of 0.51, with 3044 citations to the run and 27 articles in the year.2025 年指标为影响因子 1.9，五年影响因子 2，期刊引文指标 0.51，全刊累计被引 3044 次，当年发文 27 篇。
• Geosciences, Multidisciplinary places it Q3 at 156 of 259, the fortieth percentile, a position shaped as much by the small annual output as by the citation record.地学综合类目列 Q3，排名 156/259，处于第 40 百分位，这一位置既由引用记录决定，也由年发文量之少决定。
• The impact factor ran from 2.241 in 2021 down to 1.424 in 2022, recovered to 2 in 2023, and has held at 1.9 through 2024 and 2025.影响因子从 2021 年的 2.241 落到 2022 年的 1.424，2023 年回到 2，2024 年与 2025 年均为 1.9。
• A cited half-life of 15.2 years is long for a title of this size, and it comes from the descriptive and regional papers that keep being cited well after their publication.15.2 年的引用半衰期对这样体量的刊物算长，原因在于那些描述性与区域性论文发表多年后仍被引用。
• French has never been dropped. Papers appear in English or in French, and the older volumes show how much of the French geological vocabulary was fixed in these pages.法语始终没有被放弃。论文以英文或法文发表，旧卷次里可以看到法国地质学的许多术语正是在这些页面上定型的。

Editors

• Three editors-in-chief share the title, Éric Calais, Michel Campillo and François Chabaux, and they sit above an editorial committee drawn from the fields the journal covers.主编一职由三人共担，即（Éric Calais）、（Michel Campillo）与（François Chabaux），三人共同主持一个编委会，成员取自刊物覆盖的各方向。
• Calais works on active tectonics and space geodesy, using satellite positioning and interferometry to measure how fault systems store and release strain, and he is based in Paris.（Éric Calais）研究活动构造与空间大地测量，用卫星定位与雷达干涉追踪断裂系统如何积累与释放应变，工作地点在巴黎。
• Campillo is a seismologist at ISTerre in Grenoble, known for turning ambient seismic noise into an instrument for imaging the crust and for watching it change.（Michel Campillo）是格勒诺布尔 ISTerre 的地震学家，以把环境噪声变成地壳成像与变化监测的手段而知名。
• Chabaux reads weathering and fluid-rock interaction through uranium-series isotopes, and his laboratory at Strasbourg works on the critical zone and on how landscapes lose mass.（François Chabaux）用铀系同位素解读风化与流固反应，他在斯特拉斯堡的实验室研究关键带，也研究地表如何失去物质。
• The committee is largely French, drawn from laboratories of the academy's own network and from the universities and observatories that run the national observation services, with a few members from abroad.编委会以法国学者为主，来自科学院系统的实验室，也来自承办国家观测服务的大学与观测台，另有少数海外成员。
• Every submission is read by at least two specialists, competence in the subject being the only qualification asked, and the reports go to one of the three editors, who decides.每篇来稿至少由两位同行审读，评审资格取自其在该题目上的公认能力，意见汇总到三位主编之一，由其作出决定。
• Review is closed in the sense that reports are not posted, and the exchange stays between author, referee and editor, which keeps the turnaround short for short notes.评审报告不对外张贴，往来只发生在作者、评审人与编辑之间，短札的处理周期因此较短。
• There is no pre-submission enquiry and no handling charge. Manuscripts go through the academy's own system, and the editorial office in Paris runs the technical check and the copy-editing.不设投稿前的问询环节，也不收处理费。稿件走科学院的系统，巴黎的编辑部负责技术审查与文字加工。
• Length is left open. A note of four pages and a review of forty are judged on the same terms, and the guidelines ask only that figures and supporting data come with the text.篇幅不设上限。四页的短札与四十页的综述按同一标准评判，指南只要求图件与支撑数据随正文一并提交。
• Guest editors appear mainly through thematic issues, and a dossier is proposed to the editors, refereed contribution by contribution, then published under the names of its organisers.客座编辑主要通过专题辑参与，选题先向主编提出，各篇按常规送审，成辑后以组织者名义刊出。
• Perspectives are shorter and handled otherwise. A member of the committee works with the authors on a piece that sets out a question for the field rather than reporting a finished study.《透视》一类更短，处理方式也不同。编委与作者合作成文，提出的是本领域待解的问题，而非一项研究的完整报告。
• Obituaries and historical notices of senior figures in the field pass through the same committee, which is why the journal still carries part of the biographical record of French geoscience.学界前辈的悼文与史学札记同样经编委会过目，法国地球科学的人物记录因此有一部分仍由本刊承载。
