China Geology is co-sponsored by the China Geological Survey (CGS) and the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences (CAGS). The journal is published quarterly by China Geology Editorial Office.
China Geology aims to be an innovative, high-impact and authoritative academic journal for researchers across the entire geological community. It will primarily publish new research results in cutting-edge and emerging topics, as well as covering traditional topics in geology. The journal seeks to promote research from all aspects of geology, including basic, applied and engineering research and applications, such as mineralogy, igneous and metamorphic petrology, geochemistry; sedimentology, paleontology, historical geology; petroleum geology and petroleum engineering, tectonic-orogenic geology (such as the central Asian orogenic belt, Tethys-Himalayan tectonic domain, etc.), marine geology, geophysics, economic and applied geology (ore deposit research and exploration), remote sensing geology, engineering geology, environmental geology, urban geology, groundwater science and engineering, etc.
China Geology publishes Original and Review articles that are of high quality, high interest and far-reaching consequence in the field of geology, as well as Editorials, Research Advances, News and Highlights. The Reviews papers featuring invited high-profile synthesis articles by leading experts on timely topics to bring cutting-edge research to the wider community. Emphasis is placed on high quality content and form for all articles and on international coverage of subject matter. All papers are subject to international peer review Join the conversation about this journal

SJR
The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from
It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Citations per document
This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

External Cites per Doc Cites per Doc
Evolution of the number of total citation per document and external citation per document (i.e. journal self-citations removed) received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years.
External citations are calculated by subtracting the number of self-citations from the total number of citations received by the journal’s documents.
