Manuscript types

The following types of manuscripts can be considered for peer-reviewed publication in History of Geo- and Space Sciences (HGSS):

• Notes reporting about current developments and novel aspects of science historical matters which are relevant for scientific investigations within the journal's scope; notes have to be short (a maximum of six printed pages);
• Articles, i.e. standard contributions, dealing with any topics falling under the journal's scope as mentioned under aims & scope;
• Review articles dealing extensively with a broader topic falling under the journal's scope as mentioned under aims & scope; prior to the submission of a review article, the executive editor should be contacted for a brief discussion about the intended review;
• Biographical contributions (e.g. tributes to, obituaries for, and interviews with exemplary contributors to the geophysical sciences); each submission should contain an abstract highlighting the geophysical science relevance of the chosen personality (it is the lead author's responsibility to obtain approval of the project from a living addressee);
• Book reviews providing a critique of a book, and are not primarily a summary. They are less than 1000 words and start with "Book review:". Please see the further guidelines on book reviews;
• Corrigenda correct errors in preceding papers. The manuscript title reads as follows: Corrigendum to "TITLE" published in JOURNAL, VOLUME, PAGES, YEAR. Please note that corrigenda are only possible for final revised journal papers and not for the corresponding preprints. Corrigenda have to be submitted to Copernicus Publications within 3 years from the publication date of the original journal article. Should there be reasons for publishing a second corrigendum within these 3 years, the first one will be substituted by a single new corrigendum containing all relevant corrections.
