Pure and Applied Geophysics

Pure and Applied Geophysics (commonly abbreviated as ''Pure Appl. Geophys.', CODEN PAGYAV) is a long-standing journal in geophysics published by Springer under a hybrid model. Founded in 1939, it appears monthly and focuses on solid Earth, atmospheric and oceanic sciences. It is a major source of publications on tsunami research.Pure and Applied Geophysics（常用缩写 Pure Appl. Geophys.，CODEN 为 PAGYAV）是地球物理领域的历史悠久学术期刊，由施普林格（Springer）以混合获取模式出版，创刊于 1939 年，现为月刊。该刊聚焦固体地球科学、大气科学与海洋科学，是海啸研究领域的主要文献来源之一。

Scope

The journal publishes peer-reviewed original scientific contributions and state-of-the-art surveys in solid Earth, atmospheric and oceanic sciences, in both regular and topical issues. Regular issues carry refereed original papers and state-of-the-art surveys, while topical issues assemble thought-provoking reports on active areas of current research.该刊发表固体地球科学、大气科学与海洋科学领域的原创性科学贡献与前沿综述，涵盖常规专辑与专题专辑（topical issues）两种形态。常规专辑刊载经同行评审的原创论文与state-of-the-art 综述；专题专辑则围绕当前研究中活跃的方向组织具有启发性的报告。^[1]

• Solid Earth sciences: the deep structure and tectonics of the Earth, seismology and geodynamics, rock and mantle physics, and geochemical and geophysical methods.固体地球科学： 地球深部结构与构造、地震学与地球动力学、岩石与地幔物理、地球化学与地球物理方法等研究。

• Atmospheric and oceanic sciences: observational, modelling and data-analysis research in atmospheric physics and oceanography, including ocean circulation, air–sea interaction and interior oceanic processes.大气与海洋科学： 大气物理与海洋学领域的观测、建模与数据分析研究，涵盖海洋环流、海气相互作用与海洋内部过程。

• Tsunamis and geohazards: the journal is a major source of tsunami research, publishing long-standing work on tsunami generation, propagation and coastal run-up through observation, numerical modelling and inversion.海啸与地质灾害： 该刊是海啸研究的主要文献来源之一，长期刊载海啸生成、传播与沿岸爬升的观测、模拟与反演研究。

• Geophysical methods: technical advances and applications of methods such as seismic tomography, full-waveform inversion, and gravity and magnetic surveying.地球物理方法： 地震层析成像、全波形反演、重力与磁法勘探等新兴方法的技术进展与应用成果。

• Topical issues: the journal regularly organizes topical issues and collections focused on specific scientific problems or major events, with calls for papers maintained on its official website.专题专辑： 期刊经常组织专题专辑（topical collections），聚焦某一具体科学问题或重大事件，相关的征稿信息长期挂在官网。

History

• Founding (1939): the journal was founded in 1939 as Geofisica pura e applicata, from Latin for "pure and applied geophysics", under ISSN 0033-4553. It has its historical base in Switzerland.创刊（1939年）： 期刊于 1939 年创刊，初名 Geofisica pura e applicata（拉丁语，意为"纯粹与应用地球物理学"），ISSN 0033-4553，创刊地与出版中心在瑞士。

• Expansion of scope: the journal began as a solid-Earth geophysics title and subsequently extended into atmospheric and oceanic sciences, producing the three-part disciplinary structure that the current three-in-chief arrangement reflects.学科扩展： 创刊之初以固体地球物理为主，此后逐步纳入大气科学与海洋科学方向，形成固体地球、大气与海洋三足鼎立的学科格局；这也是目前"三位一体"执行主编分工的由来。

• Digitization and open-access transition: the journal moved to a hybrid open-access model and is hosted on SpringerLink, with manuscripts submitted through Editorial Manager. The median time from submission to first decision is around 31 days, and downloads reached roughly 635 thousand in 2025.数字化与开放获取转型： 期刊转为混合获取模式，在线平台为 SpringerLink，稿件通过 Editorial Manager 系统投稿；投稿至首次决定的中位时长约 31 天，2025 年下载量约 63.5 万次。

• Standing and metrics: the journal maintains an impact factor around 2, at 2.1 in 2025 with a five-year figure of 2.0, and an h-index of 78, placing it as a steady long-established title in geochemistry and geophysics.影响力与规模： 该刊影响因子长期保持在 2 分上下（2025 年为 2.1，五年影响因子 2.0），h 指数为 78，在地球化学与地球物理领域属稳健的老牌期刊。

Editors

The journal is led by three Editors-in-Chief, divided by discipline across solid Earth sciences, atmospheric and oceanic sciences, and topical issues and book reviews, with an additional Honorary Editor. All three Editors-in-Chief are based at major institutions in Europe and North America, supported by a team of subject Editors and Assistant Editors.期刊设三位执行主编（Editor-in-Chief），按学科分工覆盖固体地球科学、大气与海洋科学，以及专题专辑与书评，另设荣誉编辑（Honorary Editor）。三位执行主编均来自欧洲、北美与美国的知名研究机构，下设按学科划分的责任编辑与助理编辑团队。^[2]
