Use when targeting Reviews of Geophysics (Rev Geophys) or deciding whether an Earth or space science review fits this authoritative, very-high-impact invited-review venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# Reviews of Geophysics (reviews-of-geophysics)

## Journal positioning

Reviews of Geophysics is an American Geophysical Union (AGU) journal published by Wiley, and it is among the highest-impact venues in the Earth and space sciences. Its defining character is authority and synthesis: the journal publishes long-form, comprehensive review articles that survey the state of knowledge across a major geophysical topic, integrate disparate subdisciplines, and chart the open questions that will define a field for years. It does not publish primary research. Many articles are invited, and unsolicited proposals are typically vetted before a full manuscript is encouraged. The journal rewards reviews that are genuinely synthetic and forward-looking — not annotated bibliographies — and that are accessible to readers across the breadth of AGU's community. Readership is the entire Earth and space science community plus advanced students entering a field. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the Reviews of Geophysics AGU/Wiley site.

## When to trigger

- The author proposes an authoritative, comprehensive review across a major Earth or space science topic and names Reviews of Geophysics.
- A team with recognized standing in a field wants to synthesize its state and define open questions for a broad geoscience readership.
- An author is choosing between Reviews of Geophysics and a Nature Reviews family venue for a major synthesis.
- The author needs the journal's invited/vetted-proposal expectation, synthesis bar, and desk-reject criteria before committing to a full draft.
