eEarth (eE) uses an open access interactive format to publish short, topical
papers in all disciplines of the Earth Sciences. The length of papers is
limited to four journal pages, which corresponds to about 3000 words, a
maximum of 30 references and no more than 5 figures and tables.

Its scope ranges from processes in the deep interior of the Earth and the
terrestrial planets; magmatism, metamorphism and volcanism; the creation,
deformation and destruction of lithosphere; fluids, fluxes, and reservoirs
of mineral and energy resources; surface processes such as erosion,
transport, deposition of sediments and resulting geomorphology; and the
response of the Earth to climate change. The length of papers is limited to
four journal pages.

eE uses the innovative two-stage publication process already established
with success by other EGU journals. The procedure involves a scientific
discussion forum and exploits the full potential of the Internet to:

* foster scientific discussion
* enhance the effectiveness and transparency of scientific qualty assurance;
* enable rapid publication;
* make scientific publications freely accessible.

In the first stage, papers that pass a rapid access-review by one of the
editors are immediately published on the eEarth Discussions (eED) website.
They are then subject to interactive public discussion, during which the
refereesą comments (anonymous or attributed), additional short comments by
other members of the scientific community (attributed) and the authorsą
replies are also published in eED.

In the second stage, the peer-review process is completed and, if accepted,
the final revised papers are published in eE. To ensure publication
precedence for authors, and to provide a lasting record of scientific
discussion, eED and eE are both ISSN-registered, permanently archived and
fully citable.
