Big Earth Data publishes gold open access research in the earth sciences, including earth system science, earth observation, earth systems monitoring, and environmental processes.
Big Earth Data is published on behalf of The International Society of Digital Earth.
Big Earth Data aims to provide an efficient and high-quality platform for promoting ‘big data’ sharing, processing and analyses, thereby revolutionising the cognition of the Earth’s systems. The journal primarily features the fundamentals of ‘big Earth data’ handling, as well as the channels and technologies used for ‘big Earth data’ collection, management, analysis and visualisation. To showcase the benefits of data-driven research, submissions on the applications of 'big Earth data' in exploring the Earth's history and its future evolution are highly encouraged.
The journal accepts research on ‘big data’ studies relating to but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Earth observation
- Geography
- Geology
- Atmospheric science
- Marine science
- Geophysics
- Geochemistry
Big Earth Data publishes original research articles, review articles, data articles and technical notes.
Original research articles contain significant, insightful and original scientific work that has not been published previously.
Review articles should be timely and add clarity/discussion to the existing literature on the particular topic, rather than simply paraphrasing the existing articles, and should be of general interest to the journal's broad readership.
Data articles focus on a large-scale dataset, and provide detailed methodology on data production, validation and potential reuse. All of the data described in a data article must be made publicly available and should be deposited with a recognized data repository. A template for preparing your data article is available here.
Technical notes present a software tool or a computational method for the analysis or handling of big Earth data. The tool or method described should be a new or updated version of an existing one. Big Earth Data supports an open data policy and serves as a direct link between the published manuscript and its relevant supporting data in the advancement of data sharing and reuse.
The journal operates a single-anonymized peer review process.
All articles will be made freely and permanently available online through gold open access publication.
