Brazilian Journal of Geology The Brazilian Journal of Geology is a peer-reviewed scientific periodical published by the Sociedade Brasileira de Geologia that covers research on the geology of Brazil and adjacent regions. It publishes original research, reviews, and technical notes relevant to stratigraphy, tectonics, mineral resources, paleontology, and applied geology. The journal serves as a focal point for collaboration among researchers affiliated with institutions across South America and internationally.
The journal was established during a period of expansion in Brazilian scientific institutions associated with Universidade de São Paulo, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, and Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul. Early editors were linked to the Serviço Geológico do Brasil and the Instituto de Pesquisas Tecnológicas while contributors included researchers from Universidade Estadual Paulista, Universidade Federal do Paraná, Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Universidade Federal Fluminense, and Universidade de Brasília. Milestones include special issues coordinated with the International Geological Congress, symposia organized with the Society of Economic Geologists and exchanges involving the Geological Society of America and the Geological Society of London. The journal adapted its format alongside developments at the Brazilian Geological Survey and responses to national initiatives such as programs from the Ministério das Minas e Energia and collaborations with the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development.
Topics routinely covered include Brazilian cratons studied in papers by teams from CPRM, research on the Amazon Craton, analyses of the São Francisco Craton, and Neoproterozoic tectonics of the Borborema Province. Paleontological reports reference specimens from the Araripe Basin, Paraná Basin, and Solimões Basin while mineralogical and economic geology studies involve deposits like the Carajás Mine, Iron Quadrangle, and Serra Pelada. Articles address metamorphic evolution in the Mantiqueira Mountains, sedimentology of the Pantanal, neotectonics in the Recôncavo-Tucano Basin, and quaternary studies tied to the Amazon River and Rio São Francisco. The journal also features work on geochronology using laboratories associated with Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto, isotope studies in collaboration with Universidad de São Paulo groups, and geophysical surveys linked to the Brazilian Space Agency. Interdisciplinary special issues have involved partners such as the Food and Agriculture Organization, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, and the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission.
The editorial board has included editors and associate editors drawn from Universidade Federal do Pará, Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Universidade Federal de Goiás, Universidade Federal do Ceará, and international members from University of Oxford, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, and Imperial College London. Peer review follows blind or double-blind procedures consistent with standards observed by the Committee on Publication Ethics and practices common to journals collaborated with the American Geophysical Union, European Geosciences Union, Royal Society, and the National Academy of Sciences (United States). Editorial policies reference indexing expectations comparable to those of the Science Citation Index and compliance with metadata schemas from organizations like CrossRef.
The journal is issued quarterly and managed by the Sociedade Brasileira de Geologia with production support from editorial offices affiliated with Museu Nacional (Brazil), Instituto de Geociências da USP, and regional publishers in Belo Horizonte and Recife. Articles are published in Portuguese and English and are made available online via an open access model aligned with Plan S discussions involving the European Commission. Submission systems mirror platforms used by Elsevier, Springer Nature, and Wiley, while licensing frameworks cite Creative Commons practices endorsed by SciELO and Redalyc. The journal participates in national repositories such as the Brazilian Digital Library and collaborates with university libraries including Biblioteca Nacional do Brasil.
The journal is abstracted and indexed in regional and international databases comparable to inclusion in Scopus, Web of Science, GeoRef, Latindex, SciELO, Directory of Open Access Journals, and national bibliographic services operated by the Instituto Brasileiro de Informação em Ciência e Tecnologia. It is discoverable through aggregator platforms used by institutions like CAPES and searchable via catalogues maintained by Library of Congress, Bibliothèque nationale de France, and university systems at Universidade de Coimbra and University of Buenos Aires.
Seminal contributions published in the journal have influenced understanding of Brasiliano orogeny research linked to studies by teams referencing the Araçuaí Belt, Mantiqueira Province, and the Pernambuco-Alagoas Domain. Papers on mineral resource assessments have informed policy decisions affecting mines such as Carajás and Quadrilátero Ferrífero operations, and paleobotanical descriptions from the Araripe Basin have been cited in works involving the Smithsonian Institution and American Museum of Natural History. The journal's impact is reflected in citations by authors associated with Universidade de São Paulo, Universidad de Chile, University of Texas at Austin, University of Alberta, and collaborative projects with the World Bank and Inter-American Development Bank.
Contributors and editors have received recognition from national and international bodies including awards from the Sociedade Brasileira de Geologia, honors conferred by the Academia Brasileira de Ciências, prizes associated with the National Order of Scientific Merit (Brazil), and fellowships from organizations like the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Fulbright Program, and Newton Fund. The journal's special issues have been highlighted in conference sessions at the International Geological Congress, Latin American Geological Congress, and meetings convened by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists.
