About the journal
Aims and scope
Earth System Science Data (ESSD) is an international, interdisciplinary journal for the publication of articles on original research data (sets), furthering the reuse of high-quality data of benefit to Earth system sciences. The editors encourage submissions on original data or data collections which are of sufficient quality and have the potential to contribute to these aims.
The journal maintains sections for regular-length articles, brief communications (e.g. on additions to data sets) and commentaries, as well as review articles and special issues.
Articles in the data section may pertain to the planning, instrumentation, and execution of experiments or collection of data. Any interpretation of data is outside the scope of regular articles. Articles on methods describe nontrivial statistical and other methods employed (e.g. to filter, normalize, or convert raw data to primary published data) as well as nontrivial instrumentation or operational methods. Any comparison to other methods is beyond the scope of regular articles.
Review articles may compare methods or relative merits of data sets, the fitness of individual methods or data sets for specific purposes, or how combinations might be used as more complex methods or reference data collections.
Earth System Science Data has an innovative two-stage publication process involving the scientific discussion forum Earth System Science Data Discussions (ESSDD), which has been designed to do the following:
- foster scientific discussion;
- maximize the effectiveness and transparency of scientific quality assurance;
- enable rapid publication of new scientific results;
- make scientific publications freely accessible.
In the first stage, papers that pass a rapid peer review are immediately published on the Earth System Science Data Discussions (ESSDD) website. They are then subject to an interactive public discussion, during which the referees' comments (anonymous or attributed), additional short comments by other members of the scientific community (attributed), and the authors' replies are also published in ESSDD. In the second stage, the peer-review process is completed and, if accepted, the final revised papers are published in ESSD. To ensure publication precedence for authors, and to provide a lasting record of scientific discussion, ESSDD and ESSD are both ISSN-registered, permanently archived, and fully citable.
Earth System Science Data also offers an efficient new way of publishing special issues, in which the individual papers are published as soon as they are available and linked electronically (for more information see special issues).
About this journal
This journal aims to establish a new subject of publication: to publish data according to the conventional fashion of publishing articles, applying the established principles of quality assessment through peer review to data sets.
The goals are to make data sets a reliable resource to build upon and to reward the authors by establishing priority and recognition through the impact of their articles.
The peer review secures that the data sets are the following:
- at least plausible and contain no detectable problems;
- of sufficiently high quality and their limitations are clearly stated;
- openly accessible (cost-free for readers), well annotated by standard metadata (e.g. ISO 19115), and available from a certified data center/repository;
- customary with regard to their format(s) and/or access protocol, however not proprietary ones (e.g. Open Geospatial Consortium standards), expected to be usable for the foreseeable future.
The articles in this journal should enable the reviewer and the reader to review and use the data, respectively, with the least amount of effort. To this end, all necessary information should be presented through the article text and references in a concise manner and each article should publish as much data as possible. The aim is to minimize the overall workload of reviewers (e.g. by reviewing one instead of many articles) and to maximize the impact of each article.
It is clear that some of these quite abstract criteria may soon unfold into more (technically) specific ones, depending on the discipline or type of data. If necessary, the editors will try to make sure that more specific assistance for authors as well as for reviewers will be developed over time. Until such definitive, detailed guidelines by discipline are published, reviewers and public commentators are encouraged to remain open-minded on technical issues and to avoid "holy wars" or "flaming". One potential area of discord might be the "correct" metadata scheme or its application.
To help streamline the review process, a more formal list of criteria has been developed, which can serve as a checklist.

Manuscript types
The following types of manuscripts can be considered for peer-reviewed publication in Earth System Science Data (ESSD) and its discussion forum Earth System Science Data Discussions (ESSDD):
- The journal maintains sections for regular-length articles, brief communications (e.g. on additions to data sets) and commentaries, as well as review articles and special issues.
- Articles in the data section may pertain to the planning, instrumentation, and execution of experiments or collection of data. Any interpretation of data is outside the scope of regular articles.
- Articles on methods describe nontrivial statistical and other methods employed (e.g. to filter, normalize or convert raw data to primary published data) as well as nontrivial instrumentation or operational methods. Any comparison to other methods is beyond the scope of regular articles.
- Review articles may compare methods or relative merits of data sets, the fitness of individual methods or data sets for specific purposes, or how combinations might be used as more complex methods or reference data collections.
- 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 discussion paper.
Instructions to Authors
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 and combined with the author's response should be provided.
- Former manuscript versions in case the present submission is an update of an already published paper must be indicated. Please prepare a marked-up manuscript version (track changes in Word, latexdiff in LaTeX) showing the differences between the former and present version, converted into *.pdf and uploaded as a supplement.
 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.
