Times of change wind this year for Earth Sciences Research Journal. The hard work of the last years have resulted in a significant advance for this journal, and now we want to announce our four volumes to be published since 2016 every year. The objective of being a top-quality journal is in the North of our compass, and it will be inspiring the daily work of the people making this publication possible.

Several conferences have called our journal for special issues, and we expect to fit into their requests to keep providing the users with novel contents in the earth sciences field. In this open-access issuing, there is room for all scientific papers looking for a worldwide site to publish.

But not only in Earth Sciences Research Journal challenge winds are moving the kite. The petroleum market in the world is facing one of the most critical times of the history, playing on an unexpected stage where no many actors were ready for. Management of resources are in the spotlight of the political world; energy and water, as well as the environment, turned into subjects of the first line. Fracking has resulted in thousands of discussions inside and outside of the academic world.

We want to encourage everyone involved in the scientific research on earth sciences to submit us their papers. Nowadays, we substantially revised every one of the works sent and pay strict attention to the review processes, reducing periods and improving experiences of authors in the editorial world. We intend to collaborate with other professional organizations interested in geology scientific communication. Find in the ESRJ a friendly hand to work with.

For the volume 20, number 1, we are presenting 18 selected papers in different areas of study; original contents we hope will be of your complete usability. Comments, claims, and suggestions are always welcomed in Earth Sciences Research Journal through the mail account earthjour_fcbog@unal.edu.co.

Thanks for reading and submitting valuable scientific papers.

 

Letter from the editor

As we are sure you've noticed, the Earth Sciences Research Journal has undergone some substantial changes this year. The hard work of the last few years has resulted in a some major steps forward for this journal, and now we want to announce our four volumes to be published since 2016 every year. Our goal is to become a premier journal, and it is to this end that we work day in and day out.

Recently several conferences have turned to us for special issues, and we expect this to be an ongoing relationship where we are able to provide readers with novel articles. By supplying conferences, we are able to broaden the pool of scientific papers by giving those who might otherwise have been denied it the opportunity of publishing to a worldwide audience.

It is not just Earth Sciences Research Journal that is changing, so too is the global petroleum market. The fluctuating price of oil and technological advancements have played a role in upturning the previous status quo. Many previously unknown actors are now operating on the global stage in this new emerging situation. Management of resources is in the political spotlight; energy and water use, as well as environmental concerns, have been thrust to the forefront of discussion. Fracking and shale extraction, as well as well as the stretching of exploration into more and more delicate environments have caused substantial damage, and pose the risk of causing immeasurable destruction in the future. This new reality has brought a whole new focus to a segment of the scientific community, and our journal is poised to accept these new articles.

We want to encourage everyone involved in the scientific research on earth sciences to submit their papers. We have substantially modernized our processing, revising all submitted works, and otherwise improving the experience for the authors involved. The review process has undergone marked update, reducing wait times while improving quality. In the future, we intend to collaborate with other organizations in the earth sciences field. In us, you will find a friendly partner with whom to collaborate and bring our field into a new age. For the volume 20, we are presenting 17 selected papers in different areas of study; original contents we hope will be of interest and use. Comments, reviews, and suggestions are always welcomed in Earth Sciences Research Journal through the mail account earthjour_fcbog@unal.edu.co.

Thanks for reading and submitting your valuable scientific papers!
