Aims and scope

Aims:

"Big

Data and Earth System" aspires to be an interdisciplinary beacon,

illuminating the integration of Big Data analytics and computational

approaches within Earth System Sciences. Our mission is to promote

cutting-edge research that leverages advanced data analytics, machine

learning, and computational methods to understand, monitor, simulate,

and predict Earth system processes and changes. By bridging the gap

between data science and earth sciences, the journal aims to facilitate

the development of innovative methodologies and applications that can

enhance our understanding of Earth system and contribute to global

sustainability efforts.

Scope:

journal invites contributions that showcase the novel use of Big Data,

computational techniques, and artificial intelligence (AI) in addressing

challenges within Earth System Sciences. This includes but is not

limited to:

Novel AI Methodologies for Earth Big Data

to understand, monitor, simulate, and predict Earth system processes.

Computational Models and Simulations

for understanding atmospheric, oceanic, geological, surface, and deep-earth dynamics.

Editorial Board

Article types

Big Data and Earth System publishes:

Article type

Requirements

Research article

Complete report on original research.

Review article

A

substantial overview of original research. The reviews should give a

succinct overview of a particular topic, usually with a comprehensive

bibliography, generally, also contains a table of contents. It should

cover topics that have seen significant development or progress in

recent years, with comprehensive depth and a balanced perspective.

Review articles should NOT include unpublished material such as

unpublished/original data, submitted manuscripts, or personal

communication. Word limit: 7000-9000

Short Communication

Short

report or announcement of research, usually claiming certain results,

which present original and significant material for rapid dissemination.

Short Communications are expected to have a higher than average impact

on the field rather than report on incremental research. Appear under

many names, such as Letter Papers, Preliminary notes, Notes, etc.

Editorial

Generally, from the (guest) editor of the publication. Can be Foreword, Editorial, Guest Editorial, Preface, etc.

Peer review

This

journal follows a single anonymized review process. Your submission

will initially be assessed by our editors to determine suitability for

publication in this journal. If your submission is deemed suitable, it

will typically be sent to a minimum of two reviewers for an independent

expert assessment of the scientific quality. The decision as to whether

your article is accepted or rejected will be taken by our editors. This

decision is final.

Our editors are not involved in making decisions about papers which:

they have written themselves.

have been written by family members or colleagues.

relate to products or services in which they have an interest.

Any

such submissions will be subject to the journal's usual procedures and

peer review will be handled independently of the editor involved and

their research group.

All

manuscripts are reviewed by the editorial office. Any papers which fail

to meet the basic standards of the journal will be desk-rejected for

reasons like out of scope, ethical conflicts, high similarities, lack of

originality, flaws in research design or methods, etc. The editorial

office will reassign selected papers to the Editor-in-chief.

The

Editor-in-chief will invite multiple reviewers to review the paper or

assign an editorial board member to invite reviewers to review this

paper.

After

at least two reviewers give their reviews and comments, the

Editor-in-chief (or the assigned Editor) provides feedback to the

authors, based on reviewer comments and his own review comments.

When

the author submits the revised manuscript, the assigned editor and

Editor-in-chief will collaborate to make a final decision.

For

submissions from the Editor-in-Chief, Associate Editors, Guest

Editor(s), other journal Board members, and authors who have conflicts

of interest with them, we ensure that the paper is handled

confidentially by a different team member.

For

submissions to Special Issues; if there are conflicts of interest

between the Guest Editor(s) and authors, the submissions will be handled

by another Editor from the Editorial Board who will manage the peer

review process and make the decision whether to accept or reject the

paper after peer review.

Declaration of generative AI in scientific writing

Authors

are encouraged to declare the use of generative AI in scientific

writing upon submission of the paper. The following guidance refers only

to the writing process, and not to the use of AI tools to analyse and

draw insights from data as part of the research process:

Generative

AI and AI-assisted technologies should only be used in the writing

process to improve the readability and language of the manuscript.

The

technology must be applied with human oversight and control and authors

should carefully review and edit the result, as AI can generate

authoritative-sounding output that can be incorrect, incomplete or

biased. Authors are ultimately responsible and accountable for the

contents of the work.

Authors

must not list or cite AI and AI-assisted technologies as an author or

co-author on the manuscript since authorship implies responsibilities

and tasks that can only be attributed to and performed by humans.

The

use of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in scientific writing

can be declared by adding a statement at the end of the manuscript when

the paper is first submitted. The statement will appear in the

published work and should be placed in a new section before the

references list. An example:

Title of new section: Declaration of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process.

Statement:

During the preparation of this work the author(s) used [NAME TOOL /

SERVICE] in order to [REASON]. After using this tool/service, the

author(s) reviewed and edited the content as needed and take(s) full

responsibility for the content of the published article.

The

declaration does not apply to the use of basic tools, such as tools

used to check grammar, spelling and references. If you have nothing to

disclose, you do not need to add a statement.

We advise you to read our policy for authors on the use of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies for Elsevier.

Please

note: to protect authors’ rights and the confidentiality of their

research, this journal does not currently allow the use of Generative AI

or AI-assisted technologies such as ChatGPT or similar services by

reviewers or editors in the peer review and manuscript evaluation

process. We are actively evaluating compliant AI tools and may revise

this policy in the future.
