Applied Geophysics accepts original papers relating to all disciplines and applications of geophysics. Articles are normally from 4000 to 6000 words long. All accepted articles will be edited to conform to the style of Applied Geophysics and to improve clarity. When major changes are deemed to be necessary, the Editor will consult with the author by the most convenient means and the manuscript may be returned to be author for approval or further clarification.
The manuscript must be accompanied with statements that: 1) all authors agree with the submission, 2) the work has not been published elsewhere, either completely, in part, or in another form, and 3) the manuscript has not been submitted to another journal.
Submission
You can send your article to us using email: cgsbull@china.com or mail to The Editorial Department of Applied Geophysics (English Edition). The text of the article can be prepared using Microsoft Word or any common variant of TeX. E-mail transfer of text is encouraged whenever facilities are available.
Language
The journal’s language is English. Before submitting the paper, please make sure that the language is correct. Minor corrections of syntax and spelling can be made by our language editor. Chinese authors may present Chinese papers first.
Required organization of the paper
1. Title.
2. Name, affiliation, exact postal and e-mail addresses of the authors, and the indication of who is the corresponding author.
3. Abstract (200- 300 words).
4. Keywords (4 to 6).
5. Text, divided into sections.
6. List of references in alphabetical order.
References
References in the text should consist of the name followed by the year of publication in parentheses. All references cited in the text must be included in the reference list, and vice versa. In each reference, list all authors except when there are seven or more, in which case list the first 3 and “et al”.
These examples include a serial publication, a map, an abstract, a report of a meeting, and a text book according to the following pattern:

Author biographical note
A passport –type photograph and a brief (no more than 100 words) biographical sketch should be below article’s references.
Illustrations
Good illustrations （figures） are essential and may include photographs, line drawings, or tables incorporating graphics. submitted in electronic form. CorelDraw or illustrator is preferred but other popular editors may also be used. Line weights and lettering should be suitable for reduction. Please consult a recent issue of our journal for the size of the figures. Tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals and referred to in the text. A header should be placed on top of the table. Please make sure that the size of the table is adequate for the layout of the journal’s page.
Final version of the paper
Once the review/revision process is finished, the corresponding author will be asked to prepare the final version of the paper. We will then inspect it and make some editorial adjustments (if necessary). A PDF file will be sent back for proofreading.
The completed paper will be placed on Springer Online first and then included in the electronic and printed issues of Applied Geophysics.
After publication, Applied Geophysics will provide each author with one copy of the journal.
Research data policy
The journal encourages authors, where possible and applicable, to deposit data that support the findings of their research in a public repository. Authors and editors who do not have a preferred repository should consult Springer Nature’s list of repositories and research data policy.
• List of Repositories
• Research Data Policy
General repositories - for all types of research data - such as figshare and Dryad may also be used.
Datasets that are assigned digital object identifiers (DOIs) by a data repository may be cited in the reference list. Data citations should include the minimum information recommended by DataCite: authors, title, publisher (repository name), identifier.
• DataCite
Springer Nature provides a research data policy support service for authors and editors, which can be contacted at researchdata@springernature.com.
This service provides advice on research data policy compliance and on finding research data repositories. It is independent of journal, book and conference proceedings editorial offices and does not advise on specific manuscripts.
