About the journal

Aims and scope
Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems (GI) is an open-access interdisciplinary electronic journal for swift publication of original articles and short communications in the area of geoscientific instruments. It covers three main areas: (i) atmospheric and geospace sciences, (ii) earth science, and (iii) ocean science. A unique feature of the journal is the emphasis on synergy between science and technology that facilitates advances in GI. These advances include but are not limited to the following:
- concepts, design, and description of instrumentation and data systems;
- retrieval techniques of scientific products from measurements;
- calibration and data quality assessment;
- uncertainty in measurements;
- newly developed and planned research platforms and community instrumentation capabilities;
- major national and international field campaigns and observational research programs;
- new observational strategies to address societal needs in areas such as monitoring climate change and preventing natural disasters;
- networking of instruments for enhancing high temporal and spatial resolution of observations.
GI has an innovative two-stage publication process involving the scientific discussion forum Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems Discussions (GID), which has been designed to do the following:
- foster scientific discussion;
- maximize the effectiveness and transparency of scientific quality assurance;
- enable rapid publication;
- make scientific publications freely accessible.

Instructions to Authors
Manuscript types
- Research articles report new advances in remote and in situ instruments, methods, and data systems with in the scope of the journal.
- Review articles summarize the status of knowledge and outline future directions of research within the scope of the journal. Before preparing and submitting a review article, please contact an editor covering the relevant subject area and an executive editor.
- Peer-reviewed comments continue the discussion of preceding papers beyond the limits of immediate interactive discussion. They may be longer and submitted later than the comments exchanged in the interactive public discussion of papers in GID. They undergo the same process of peer review, publication, and interactive discussion as articles and technical notes, and they are equivalent to the peer-reviewed comments in traditional scientific journals. The manuscript title should start with "Comment on" or "Reply to".
Submit your manuscript
First steps
Before the submission of your manuscript to the Editorial Support for peer review, you are kindly requested to do the following:
File submission for review process
After the manuscript registration, you are kindly asked to upload those files which are necessary for the peer-review process. The following files are required:
- the abstract (title, authors, affiliations, abstract text, sample) as a *.pdf file;
- the complete manuscript (abstract, text, tables, figures) as a *.pdf file.
Other possible review files include the following:
- Any supplementary material (if available) must be submitted as a *.zip archive or single *.pdf file. The overall file size of a supplement is limited to 50 MB. Authors of larger supplements are kindly asked to submit their files to a reliable data repository and to insert a link in the manuscript. Ideally, this linkage is realized through DOIs (digital object identifiers).
- The author's response (also final author comment in the public discussion) in case of "minor" or "major" revisions must be submitted as one separate *.pdf file (indicating page and line numbers), structured in a clear and easy-to-follow sequence: (1) comments from referees/public, (2) author's response, and (3) author's changes in manuscript. Regarding author's changes, a marked-up manuscript version (track changes in Word, latexdiff in LaTeX) converted into *.pdf with the author's response must be provided.
File submission for publication of discussion paper
After the acceptance of your manuscript for publication as discussion paper in the discussion forum of the journal, you will be informed by email and are kindly asked to upload your discussion paper as *.pdf file. Discussion papers do not undergo typesetting and proofreading; instead, Copernicus adds a citation header to your uploaded *.pdf file and the merged file will then be published. Please note the sketch of this process.
File submission for production of final revised paper
After the final acceptance of your manuscript for publication in the journal, you will be informed by email and are kindly asked to complete the file upload for the publication production process. Then, please submit the following files:
- the actual text followed by the table(s) and figure caption(s) prepared in the way as outlined in the manuscript preparation as one file in LaTeX (as a *.tex file) or MS Word format (as a *.doc file);
- all figures, numbered (e.g. f01, f02, ..., f11, f01a, f01b) and prepared in the way as outlined in the manuscript preparation, as one *.zip archive (or other compressed formats). Possible figure formats are *.pdf, *.ps, *.eps, *.jpg, *.png, *.tif, and *.gif.
Remark on file sizes
Authors are kindly asked to find the best balance between quality of figures (and submitted material) and overall file size. Individual figures should not exceed 5 MB, and the overall size of all submitted files excluding supplements should not exceed 30 MB.
