earth-and-planetary-science-letters

separate

Use when targeting Earth and Planetary Science Letters (EPSL) or deciding whether a quantitative solid-earth or planetary-science manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's broad-interest process-science fit, the quantitative geochemistry/geophysics evidence bar, Elsevier house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

When to use

• fit/framing check for quantitative solid-earth or planetary-science paper
• re-framing regional geochemical or geophysical study into transferable process
• choosing between EPSL and geology
• assessing broad-interest significance bar
• assessing quantitative evidence expectations
• geochemistry and isotope geochemistry
• geophysics and geodynamics
• petrology, mineral physics, and high-pressure/high-temperature experiments

When not to use

• purely descriptive regional report
• method note with no process payoff
• result of interest only to a narrow sub-field
• replacing the journal's current author guidance
