Thank you for supporting Tectonics. Our editorial offices will be closed December 24 to January 2. Manuscripts submitted or accepted while the editorial office is closed will be processed once we return to normal operations.

Welcome to GEMS: AGU's submission system

Tectonics contains original scientific contributions in analytical, synthetic, and integrative tectonics. Papers are restricted to the structure and evolution of the terrestrial lithosphere with dominant emphasis on the continents.

Add your ORCID to GEMS and always have this identifier link you and all of your work. AGU encourages all authors and reviewers to create and add an Open Researcher and Contributor Identifier (ORCID) to their account. It’s easy: just update your profile on an existing account or add ORCID when you create your account. Learn more about ORCID.

ORCIDS will now be required for all corresponding authors and strongly encouraged for coauthors.
AGU officially joins with a number of other publishers in a commitment to include the ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) for authors of all papers published. See statement https://eos.org/agu-news/agu-opens-its-journals-to-author-identifiers

All AGU journal content from 1997 to 24 months ago is freely available online. Your published paper will become fully open 24-months after publication.
