Geophysical Papers Online is the initiative of the Geophysical Center, Russian Academy of Sciences, which aim is to introduce and populate an electronic publishing technologies and use them into the practice of geophysicists research works. GPO collections of papers include original papers, online versions of papers already published in various Russian and international journals, and preprints of papers submitted for publishing in other journals. GPO is used as a testbed for technologies used in full-shaped electronic journals, which help us to pass over the limitations of printed-on-paper journals.
Preprints as well as reviews and original research papers published in Geophysical Papers Online, may be related to any of disciplines of Planetary Geophysics. Original research papers will pass through usual peer review process according to common rules accepted in scientific journals published by the Russian Academy of Sciences. Volume of papers is not limited strictly, papers containing components most specific for electronic journal (such as video and audio files, animated graphics, dynamical interactive models, interfaces to databases, etc.) will obtain highest priority and possible support.
