Published since 1967, in the past the main objective of the journal Trabajos de Geología responded essentially to the diffusion of research works about the geology of Northwest Iberia and the outreach of the research done at the Geology Department of the University of Oviedo (Spain), however, the journal is now focused on the publication of all those quality works about any field of Geosciences.

The increasing competition in scientific research demands from researchers to elaborate articles that can be accepted by international journals with a high impact factor where mainly general models are accepted in order to catch a broad audience. In this way, many punctual data used for the elaboration of the article are never published. In the specific case of regional geology, for instance, this situation brings us to loose a large amount of local data in all branches of the geological sciences. However, these data are essential for the progress of knowledge. Trabajos de Geología does not pretend to compete with international scientific journals, but to recover all the documents and information that being essential for an article are never published along with it.

On the other hand, MSc Thesis, or research pieces done by PhD students are sometimes the source of an article but many times are archived in our library without a proper diffusion. Trabajos de Geología vows for being a vehicle to publish these works and train junior researchers in the elaboration of scientific articles.

According to these premises, Trabajos de Geología will accept original articles about all aspects of Geological Sciences. Articles previously published in other journals will not be accepted. Manuscripts will be published in English, Spanish and French.
