Overview
Biogeochemistry is a fully open access journal (from January 2024) focusing on the biotic controls on environmental chemistry and the geochemical control of ecosystems.
- Publishes original and synthetic papers on biogeochemical cycles from molecular to global scales.
- Studies of both natural and artificial ecosystems contributing to a general understanding of biogeochemistry and coupled interactions of element cycles.
- Provides a fast-track review process for high-profile manuscripts submitted in 2 sections ‘Biogeochemistry Letters’ and ‘Synthesis and Emerging Ideas’.
- Authors who may not have access to OA funds, can apply for an APC discount/waiver during the submission process.
- 97% of authors who answered a survey reported they would publish in the journal again.

Biogeochemistry is now fully open access!
We are excited to announce that Biogeochemistry has now become a fully open access (OA) journal as of January 2024. This means that we will only be publishing articles as Open Access meaning content will be and freely available to readers worldwide, enabling the widest possible dissemination and reuse.

Early-Career Researchers
We’re happy to announce that we are creating an early-career researchers’ (ECR) board comprising of postdocs and late-stage Ph.D. students. The aim is for ECR’s to develop their skills as peer-reviewers under the guidance of experienced Associate Editors of the Biogeochemistry board.

Biogeochemistry Letters
A fast-track review process is available for high-profile manuscripts that present results that substantially advance the field or challenge entrenched ideas. Letters are expected to present new information in a concise format and appeal to a broad audience
-
Synthesis and Emerging Ideas
To complement traditional articles published in Biogeochemistry and those published in the Biogeochemistry Letters section, we also consider contributions representing a more theoretical and/or synthetic approach as part of the Synthesis and Emerging Ideas section. We invite authors to submit papers that will advance the field of biogeochemistry by challenging fundamental concepts, describing new tools, or offering novel hypotheses prompted by extant literature or new datasets.
