自1966年《地球與行星科學快報》首次出版以來，它已經(jīng)建立了令人羨慕的聲譽。它成功地以最小的延遲呈現(xiàn)高質量的研究論文，使其成為該領域最重要的信息來源之一。發(fā)表的文章反映了利用化學、物理和數(shù)學等其他學科的成功研究方法對地球科學研究產(chǎn)生的巨大影響。它還包括對月球研究、板塊構造、海底擴張和大陸漂移的所有方面的研究，以及對地殼和地幔、大氣和水圈的物理、化學和機械特性的基本研究。

Since its first appearance in 1966, Earth and Planetary Science Letters has built up an enviable reputation. Its successful formula of presenting high-quality research articles with minimal delay has made it one of the most important sources of information in its field. The articles published reflect the great impact made on research in the geosciences by the use of successful research methods from other disciplines such as chemistry, physics, and mathematics. It also covers research into all aspects of lunar studies, plate tectonics, ocean floor spreading, and continental drift, as well as basic studies of the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of the Earth's crust and mantle, the atmosphere and the hydrosphere.
