From Geoheritage to Geotourism–New Advances and Emerging Challenges (Volume II)

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to invite you to consider submitting your works for a new, state-of-the-art collection of papers outlining the advances that geoheritage research has achieved since being established and making its place among other geosciences. This volume calls for papers that are able to highlight the route that various disciplines within geoheritage research have taken in the past two decades, leading to the currently flourishing and fast-developing science that has fed subdisciplines such as geoconservation, geoeducation, and geotourism, among many others. We would like to make this Special Issue a landmark work that provides a holistic overview of the evolution of the geoheritage science and how it has helped foster practical research fields such as geotourism, also addressing how all these achievements can serve to embed the geosciences more deeply in the network of sciences and the actions of society at a time when global and planetary change is clearly visible within the human lifespan. We are particularly interested in holistic-review-style works that not only provide a critical overview of the evolution of the science field in question but also offer solutions for the future. The volume will also take specific case studies if they provide a clear overview as to how and why that specific region, area, or subject serves to foster a more holistic approach to geoheritage, geoconservation, or geotourism. Interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary works are especially welcome in this volume, in which the boundaries between the geosciences and other science fields are crossed, explored, or narrowed, in order to define geoheritage research in its broadest sense. High-quality review papers can be published in this Special Issue without publication fees.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Geographies is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
