geology

separate

Use when targeting Geology (GSA) or deciding whether a short, high-impact geoscience research letter fits this venue. Encodes the journal's broad-significance-in-tight-length fit, the novelty and rapid-communication bar, GSA house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

When to use

• fit/framing check for a short, high-significance geoscience result
• compressing a finding with wide implications into a tight letter
• choosing between Geology and earth-and-planetary-science-letters
• assessing broad-significance-in-tight-length bar
• checking GSA house style and structure
• pre-submission self-check for Geology
• identifying common desk-reject triggers

When not to use

• thorough but incremental studies
• regional reports without wide implications
• papers that genuinely need full article length
• replacing the journal's current author guidance
