# Earth and Planetary Science Letters (earth-and-planetary-science-letters)

## Journal positioning

Earth and Planetary Science Letters (EPSL), published by Elsevier, is a broad-interest
journal for **quantitative research on the physical and chemical processes of the Earth and
other planets**. The defining expectation is a process-oriented, quantitatively rigorous
advance — in geochemistry, geophysics, geodynamics, petrology and mineral physics, planetary
processes, or paleoclimate/paleoceanography proxy science — that is significant to a wide
earth- and planetary-science readership rather than to one specialty alone. Despite the
"Letters" name, EPSL favors complete, self-contained articles in which the data, modeling,
and interpretation jointly support a generalizable mechanism; a purely descriptive regional
report, a method note with no process payoff, or a result of interest only to a narrow
sub-field is a weak fit. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It
