Geophysical Journal International (GJI) is a monthly
GJI was formed in 1988 by the merger of three earlier geophysics journals, the oldest of which was established in 1922. The editor-in-chief is Joerg Renner (Ruhr University Bochum).
The journal publishes original research papers, research notes, letters, and book reviews. Its topical scope includes research on all aspects of theoretical, computational, applied and observational geophysics.[2]
History
GJI was formed by a complex series of mergers between previous geophysical journals.[3]
Its origins can be traced to 1919, when the RAS absorbed the Geophysical Committee (which had previously been part of the
Meanwhile in Germany, the DGG was founded in 1922 and in 1924 began publishing the
In France, the
Finally, these three branches of journals merged in 1988. The RAS's Geophysical Journal, the DGG's Journal of Geophysics and the EGS's Annales Geophysicae, Series B were combined and published jointly by the three societies.[note 2] The new merged journal retained the name Geophysical Journal for one year,[note 3] before adopting its current name Geophysical Journal International in 1989.[3] Volume numbering continued from the earlier RAS-only journal.[9] When the EGS merged into the European Geosciences Union in 2002, the new body decided not to continue involvement with GJI, leaving it under the control of the RAS and DGG,[2] which is the current arrangement.[10]
