• A minimum resolution of 150 dpi
• A minimum font size of 7pt
• Use of unambiguous conceptually-uniform and accessible colourscales.

• Manuscripts must be logically presented and structured (including sections, paragraphs, etc.), laying out the context and motivation of the study, and how it aims to advance our understanding of the subject.
• Manuscripts must include a description of the methods, which is sufficient to enable reproduction of the results by other experts.
• Authors are encouraged to follow the FAIR principles, which enhances reproducibility of the results (also see Open Data Policy).
• Authors must provide a clear and unbiased presentation and analysis of the results.
• Manuscripts must offer an interpretation/conclusion that is logically supported by the results.
• Speculation and extrapolation are welcome so long as they are explicitly identified as such and add value to the scientific discourse.
• The submission should be accompanied by a cover letter containing:
•  a brief summary of the work (i.e., motivation, methods, and results),
• any particular requests from the authors to the editorial team,
• up to 3 editors that are suitable to handle the submitted work. 

Because Geodynamica is self-published under the volunteer efforts of our community, we kindly ask authors to make every effort to ensure that the manuscript is in a form that will streamline the publication and production process.
