Earth System Science Data

Aims & Scope

Earth System Science Data (ESSD) is an international, interdisciplinary journal for the publication of articles on original research data (sets), furthering the reuse of high-quality data of benefit to Earth system sciences.

The editors encourage submissions on original data or data collections which are of sufficient quality and have the potential to contribute to these aims.

The journal maintains sections for regular-length articles, brief communications (e.g. on additions to data sets) and commentaries, as well as review articles and special issues.

Articles in the data section may pertain to the planning, instrumentation, and execution of experiments or collection of data.

Any interpretation of data is outside the scope of regular articles.

Articles on methods describe nontrivial statistical and other methods employed (e.g. to filter, normalize, or convert raw data to primary published data) as well as nontrivial instrumentation or operational methods.

Any comparison to other methods is beyond the scope of regular articles.

Review articles may compare methods or relative merits of data sets, the fitness of individual methods or data sets for specific purposes, or how combinations might be used as more complex methods or reference data collections.
