ee-to-publish and free-to-read. These volunteers cover traditional editorial roles as well as the journal’s full-time operation (including technical support, copy editing, branding and communications, and promotion of equity, diversity and inclusion). Seismica values their labor and service by crediting reviewers, authors, and contributors of published works.
Beyond traditional research articles, Seismica publishes an innovative set of peer-reviewed reports including fast reports, null results/failed experiments, software reports, and instrument deployment/field campaign reports. Seismica accepts papers within a very broad scope of fault slip and earthquake source phenomena, earthquake records, imaging the Earth, theoretical and computational seismology, beyond Earth-tectonic applications, techniques and instrumentation, earthquake engineering and engineering seismology, and community engagement, communication, and outreach.
Seismica has an ongoing call for scientists to submit their research or to serve as reviewers, and for volunteers to help run the journal. As of August 2022, 247 people have joined the Seismica community, 228 signed up as Seismica reviewers, and ~140 responded to the call for editors. Since the launch date, Seismica has received manuscripts from authors in Germany, US, UK, France, and Japan. This autumn, Seismica will launch the Ambassadors Program to engage volunteers across the world to promote open science and data globally. This program is a unique opportunity that will give participants an extensive and international network of scientists and the tools and support from the Seismica editorial board to promote our diamond open-access journal within their own networks. For more information about how to join Seismica, visit www.seismica.org.
