《非洲地球科学杂志》自认为是关于非洲板块地球科学各方面的主要地质杂志。如果涉及周边地区的文件显示出与非洲的紧密联系，它们将受到欢迎。该杂志发表高质量的同行评议的科学论文。它主要致力于研究论文，但也将考虑与广泛关注的新发展、评论和书评有关的简短交流。论文必须具有国际吸引力，并应提出具有区域意义而非地方意义的工作，处理明确和合理的科学问题。必须避免专业技术论文、分析报告或勘探报告。关于应用地质学的论文最好与这些核心学科联系起来，并且必须面向更广泛的地球科学读者。

The Journal of African Earth Sciences sees itself as the prime geological journal for all aspects of the Earth Sciences about the African plate. Papers dealing with peripheral areas are welcome if they demonstrate a tight link with Africa.The Journal publishes high quality, peer-reviewed scientific papers. It is devoted primarily to research papers but short communications relating to new developments of broad interest, reviews and book reviews will also be considered. Papers must have international appeal and should present work of more regional than local significance and dealing with well identified and justified scientific questions. Specialised technical papers, analytical or exploration reports must be avoided. Papers on applied geology should preferably be linked to such core disciplines and must be addressed to a more general geoscientific audience.
